ardvark666 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Ford marketing said I do not have a vin. My dealer claims that the truck is “in production” but they don’t have a vin. Am I being lied to or is this an actual thing? I can’t change the order because it’s being built but I can’t trace the build because there is not a vin?

Opa1 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 If it is really in Production you should already have the window sticker with the VIN number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ardvark666 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Update. They changed my order as the regional rep got involved. It is now updated and I am in the priority code 02 club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednpewter Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 First post here, but I've been lurking around since I ordered a F250 platinum 6.7 with A/S on 7/19. Finally got a production date of 11/29 today. I was going to drop A/S several times but talked myself out of it. Hopefully the production date sticks!

I was a priority 12 or 14 i think when i had my dealer drop the AS off my build on 16 August… fast forward to 16 September i got the email from ford with my VIN and a production week. So i would like to think that 4 weeks on the low side to maybe 6-8 weeks when the priority code is changed to a lower number for scheduling. Just speculation from my situation.

I saw a couple trucks get scheduled with AS this week. I really want that feature, but I pulled it off a few weeks ago. I would add it back on if I knew it wouldn't delay my order. I wish Ford was a little more forthcoming about the commodity shortages so we could make educated choices. Ice-Capades gives us a lot of information, but it's only specific about commodity shortages some of the time, and we generally have to guess what might be holding up our orders.

I guess I’ll find out when I don’t get another Thursday email for the next 4 weeks haha. It still means I’m next at my dealership. Well. Unless there is a 01. Or a 00. Is that a thing? The good news is that Ford is really doing right by me and offered me a 3000.00 rebate for my troubles. they didn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My truck was bumped to 01 late September, and scheduled about 2.5 weeks later(build day Nov 15th). Platinum Tremor, No AS, Dropped spray in bedliner. Ordered June 6th.

Mine showed up to the rail yard Sunday and hasn't moved. My dealer is about 65 miles away from the rail yard....I guess it's like everything else going on and not enough drivers? which rail yard? If it's flatrock, I've been led to believe that place is a unmitigated disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t have a vin. Is that possible? No. VIN numbers are assigned at the time the order is scheduled. Your order can't be scheduled without a VIN number and can't be in production without one either. Did your Dealer ever give you a scheduled date?

I pass on the same information I get from Ford! Ford releases the information it wants to and misses or ignores a lot information that would make it a lot easier for Dealers and customers alike. It nothing new as Ford's communications have been terrible for years. In the past year, Ford's made the whole ordering and scheduling process much more complicated and time consuming. At the same time, Ford's seen a tremendous increase in retail customer orders, which they've encouraged, and the whole system is a mess!

It also says, "THIS INFORMATION APPLIES TO UNSCHEDULED ORDERS ONLY." so that should only affect unscheduled orders. If you have a build date already yours should be good assuming you don't get hit with commodity issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated, the Production Week Scheduling Information applies to unscheduled orders only. Scheduled production dates shouldn't change unless there's additional plant "down time" due to microchip shortages or unexpected commodity restraints or supplier issues. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
