Charlie at Metro Ford Miami has always done right by me and anyone I send him! The worst part is, when I send him screen shots of what others have heard from their salesman & my salesman says 'There are a lot of conversations out there as with anything on social medial, some true and some not.' My reply was, I'm sure the people on this forum are just posting made up stories. He denies hearing any thing about the shortages of AS, 5th wheel prep, tonneau cover, or spray in bed liner. Both salesman and a manager are telling me the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me that they are not allowed to order trucks for stock at this time and this is how they prove that the truck being ordered is sold. I also had to put $500.00 down that he said they show to Ford as well to prove the sale Dealers can absolutely order trucks for stock.

Customers with retail factory orders should deal directly with a Sales Manager, or the individual that manages the dealership's order bank, for information and updates on their orders. Very few Sales Representatives are familiar with the retail order and scheduling process or have access to the resources available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did add my drivers license to the order as well as my email address and I think my phone number. my sales rep is great and communicates very well, as far as the Buyer's Order he did one up and sent me a picture of it. (took a few before I made up my mind on all the options I wanted lol) once it was all good I confirmed that was what I wanted and he placed the order. I live about an hour drive from the dealership so he said we could do everything via phone and text message. Maybe there is some way around the signature on the Buyer's Order? They didn't require a down payment because if for some reason I can't take delivery they will just switch it to retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ordered mine 4 days ago (F-350, Tremor, 6.7). I'll be waiting right along with you! My first Ford truck, always been a Ram guy but no dealer would take an order under the FCA affiliate rewards program. Several dealers told me that they've been advised to expect the program to be suspended 1 Oct so if I did order one, the price would change, and it would be MSRP or more. So now I'm a Ford guy (in waiting)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine’s scheduled for the same build week. Ordered on 8/16 and received the build email on 9/16 as well. Fingers crossed that we get pushed up. Looks like quite a few on here had their builds approx 2 weeks sooner. F350, 6.7, King Ranch Ultimate package, FX4, DRW, adaptive Cruise, Bed Liner, 5th wheel and trailer package & Trifold bed cover.

ardvark666 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 How is it possible that people who placed orders in August for the same truck as people who placed orders in July and June are scheduled already? I must have missed something. I ordered July 20 and I was told I just have to wait. If these commodity reports that Ice Capades posts are correct, I’m not getting scheduled yet again. Didn’t the orders start being taken in June? Seems like Ford is not communicating anything to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a camper showing up in November that I won't know what to do with, since I can't really use it with my curent truck. This was my first and probably last experience with Ford.

Never owned a ford before. And chip shortage or material shortage or not. Why are current orders with the same packages getting built before older orders? What happened to first in first out? If they are short on materials then when you have some in build the next in line not the most recent ordered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on the west coast, so am I effected by that or does that effect the plant? I ordered a 450, so the 19.5” wheels and 5th wheel prep are not available. I only have access to the information published for the New York Region. The commodity restraints should apply equally to the other regions but it would require confirmation from someone with access to the information for other regions.

I went with Ford because I can’t order a Ram with the discount similar to the x plan because they aren’t selling 2022 models yet. Long story. They are but until they are on their website they can’t order one with the discount. Yes I’d be mad if I ordered in March. Honestly if I ordered in March I’d probably move on. My dealership has 1k from me abs is basically like “well. It’s not being built yet” big question. Is there any way that my truck will be built before 2022 at this point? Is that even a possibility. I kinda want my money back. Edited September 29, 2021 by ardvark666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryTaint Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I read on here a while back, it has to do with the priority code they give you on the build sheet. 19, 10, & 2 are the ones I've seen people talk about on here. 19 is the worst priority code, and as you go down in numbers it gets better. I was also asked about X plan when I ordered, but the FD I work at doesn't have a relationship with Ford so I get the First Responder Discount. Like I said, I just remember reading it on here. If someone can confirm if this is correct or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was right there with you. I ordered mine March 19. Platinum 6.7 with AS. After pushing and pushing I got AS dropped off my order a couple weeks back (even though I had a VIN and was told that was impossible) and that seems to have helped. I don't know the build date, but my window sticker is available from the mach e tracker so I assume it will be soon. I was dealing with the sales manager at my dealer directly and I drove the 1.5 hours to his shop the other day and politely expressed my issues with Ford scheduling. It must have helped. I'd try being the squeaky wheel for a bit and see if that gets them to talk to their rep and get you built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraderLeric Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 How long did it take peoples trucks to switch from in production to built? Was supposed to be built 9/27 but still showing in production. Dealer didn’t put email in my order right so not getting the updates…….
