Called dealership last week to see if I could add a heated steering wheel. They said they reached out to Ford Rep and he said we can’t make any changes because it is scheduled to be built. They didn’t provide a build date or VIN so I don’t know if they are blowing smoke or if Ford is just delayed on sending emails out about build dates? Anyone experience this?

My understanding of the process is, if you have a build date, you should have a VIN. Did you receive an order confirmation email from Ford? If so, then Ford has your correct email address, and you should receive updates from them as your truck hits various milestones, such as receiving a build date. If this is the case, then I would lean towards your dealership is blowing smoke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcpd34 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) I didn’t get an order confirmation. Dealer says it’s hit or miss. I got one for my Mach e order. If there’s a VIN, the dealer should be able to give it to you. Edited October 31, 2021 by Rcpd34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered 31st August and still am "Unscheduled Clean" status. I stopped in to chat with our Sales Manager yesterday and he advised it is being reviewed this week. He called up my order and added the KR Ultimate package. No requirement to call a Ford Rep. Entire process took about 1 minute, including printing a new updated built sheet. If you have a built week and VIN, your dealer should have access to that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ice Capades can comment on whether Ford is restricting changes to unscheduled build orders. I do know that I complained and it finally took a regional rep to approve a change on my order to add led and lariat ultimate. Looks like this week there will be no scheduled Super Duty trucks so if they don’t have a VIN I would complain that you want the order amended. It’s not delaying anything if there is zero scheduling until Nov 11. And maybe they will not even schedule on that day since it’s a holiday. Who knows.

GynormousMellon Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) How long is the order number? Mine is 10 digits but when I plug it and the VIN into the tracker, I receive the following message. We're sorry. We are unable to process this Order. Please enter a valid Ford Order/VIN.

Hmmmm, I ordered through Military Auto Service (MAS) and theirs's is 10 digits. My VIN just showed up a few days ago and their tracker shows "Product Scheduled" with the next steps being Built - Transit - Arrived at US Destination. Wonder if that means it is scheduled to be built? Is there another method to track online with just the VIN?

Normally, scheduled orders aren't locked in until the "Scheduled to Day" status is reached or approximately two weeks prior to the scheduled build date. However, due to the tremendous increase in the number of retail customer factory orders, along with the high number of orders being altered, orders in general are getting "locked in" much earlier than usual. The scheduling process has become substantially more complex due to the microchip shortages, supplier issues, commodity restraints, interrupted plant production schedules, etc. Complicating matters further is Dealers having to deal with submitting retail order information to the COVP (Customer Order Verification Program) for approval in order to qualify for incremental allocation and priority scheduling and Dealers failing to attach the customer's e-mail address to retail factory orders so that customers will receive communications from Ford. Worst of all is the number of dealerships that can't be bother, don't know, aren't aware of the resources and information available, etc. or simply incompetent regarding their Order Bank management and communicating with their customers. It's not easy since Ford has made the whole ordering and scheduling process much more difficult, complex and time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MAS (Military Auto Service) ordering process is totally different which is why the 10-digit order numbers can't be used for the regular order tracking process. If you have a VIN number, the order is scheduled. For more detailed information (scheduled date, etc.) you'd need to contact the MAS representative or the individual that submitted the order.

Since it is scheduled, I'll just put on my patience pants and wait for the next step. Edited November 1, 2021 by GynormousMellon 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoopTrem22 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Does anyone had the code for adding a heated steering wheel to the Lariat? I didn’t realize this wasn’t part of the Lariat Ultimate package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
