Etzy Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 2022 XLT CCLB Carbonized Grey 6.7 Powerstroke Black Appearance Package Gooseneck/5th Wheel Prep Just talked with the dealer, my truck is scheduled for the week of September 20th. Was pleasantly surprised considering XLT Black Appearance Packages were suppose to be a late build. We will see if that date sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealer is lying, I added heated steering wheel and upfitter switches 3 weeks before my initial build date. It pushed my truck back 2 weeks. I had a VIN and build date already. As far as I can tell, you aren't locked in until they schedule you to the day. Edited August 14, 2021 by slowninja14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfrank59 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I see you guys received emails from ford about production dates etc, I have yet to receive any emails from ford directly, but have been told by my salesman that I was scheduled for build week 9-27 and he also provided me with my vin. I checked and it is all there through vehicle locator. I just find it strange I have yet to receive any emails from ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same build week, it’s fine to not receive any emails, unless our dates get pushed back or forward, we’ll never know. If the schedule stays, then I’ll just check the tracking that week. ??♂️ From what I gathered, if your sales team didn’t enter your email when they submitted the order in WBDO then you won’t receive any correspondence. Sucks for us but at least we’re scheduled and just have to hope it sticks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey Michael Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Has anyone else had a problem getting scheduling info from Ford customer service? I called again today and was told by the rep that he couldn't give me any information without a VIN. I told him that I was hoping that he would give me a VIN after looking up my order code and sales code. It's never been a problem before, but now all of a sudden they can't do it. I sure would like to know since my dealer didn't enter my email address when they made the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DwightVA Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I'm at a complete loss for how Ford is choosing which vehicles to build. Someone deep inside the bowels of FORD knows how they are selecting orders. Sure would be nice if they enlightened the public so it's not a guessing game. I see posts with vehicle configurations that are very very similar but ordered a month or more apart. The more recent order will get a VIN while the other is still on standby... It just doesn't make any sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzaguy Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I wish I knew if larger dealers had priority over smaller dealers. I just ordered mine this week, and somebody ordered a day before me from a different dealer already received an email with a VIN and date.

I'm thinking that Ford Customer Service is probably getting flooded with calls from customers asking for retail vehicle order information, VIN numbers, scheduling information, status updates, etc. If Ford has changed their policy and limiting the information they'll provide or the conditions, blame the Dealers for not providing the information that is so readily available to them. It's the Dealers job, make them do it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT350 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 My truck is built and getting a sun bath somewhere waiting to ship. The interesting thing is the premium toolbox disappeared from the thumbnail photo of the truck and from the accessory list. The window sticker and price have stayed the same even though the date on the window sticker updated 8.13.21. I don’t know if my truck is coming with the accessory tool box or not. Anyone else seeing this or have any information? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my vehicle was scheduled, I got notified right away. Talk to your dealer and make sure they have your email in the system and it is correct.

mitch8628 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 5 hours ago, Ranger62 said: How are y'all getting this set up with the Ford website and App to show your Confirmed / Production dates like that? My sales lady has sent me my VIN and my production date, but I don't seem able to set it up on my Ford account. I entered that VIN but it said "Invalid". Maybe it takes a few days to be in the system? It appears the screenshot there is from the email. You can also go to Ford's Tracking website if you have your order # and VIN. This will provide some information. Ford Vehicle Order Tracking I was able to add my VIN to the Ford Pass App, but doesn't really have any information as far as the build goes. It also sounds like there is no connection between your order and the Reservations/Orders area under your account on the Ford Website.

That is normally the case as larger dealers get more allocation, but with the retail order verification that’s not supposed to be an issue, or at least less of an issue.

Pizzaguy Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Should this order confirmation sheet have ifo such as priority code number, or is this too preliminary for that? I do see 6 digits for a vin, but it isn't helpful without the rest of it. I know dealer asked for my email address but I haven't heard anything from Ford yet.

They don’t schedule every Thursday. We just went several weeks with no Super Duty scheduling. Ice-capades posts scheduling information in the Production and Sales part of the forum that is very helpful to let you know what is going on. Here is a copy of his latest post. It shows Super Duty will schedule this week for a build week of 9/13 which is odd because I got scheduled last week for a 9/27 build week. Maybe commodity constraints? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOPEY Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Not sure if it will stick. Ordered 5/19, got build week of 9/20 on 12 Aug. On Friday the 13th, I know right, it moved to build week of 8/30. Fingers crossed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The order priority code isn't included. The customer e-mail has to be attached to the order in the WBDO (Web Based Dealer Ordering) system. The partial VIN number shown includes only the VIN designators for the model's common elements and has nothing to do with scheduling status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all vehicle lines schedule on a weekly basis. Ford used to provide Dealers scheduling information for a month in advance but now provides the information only on a weekly basis due to changing plant schedules caused by the microchip shortage and supplier issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
