crashman-405 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I finally got my four digit order code and priority status from my dealership. I ordered the truck on September 4th and it still has a priority code of 19. My question to you guys is, should I even try and get the priority code lowered or just let it ride?

Retail orders submitted via the WBDO (Web Based Dealer Ordering) system default to priority code "19" requiring Dealers to manually change it to a lower number (10-18) if appropriate and depending on how many other retail Super Duty orders they have in their USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank). Unfortunately, many Dealers pay little attention or time to managing their USOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 It looks like another Thursday has passed me by. I swear, with God as my witness, I will never again order a truck from Ford during a world-wide pandemic. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wake up hopeful every Thursday morning that I will have that magical email from Ford Motor Company saying I’ve been scheduled only to have that hope crushed when I open my inbox. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’m only 3 1/2 months in so I’m going to give it another month or so before I discuss this with the dealership I guess. I see many others that have been waiting a lot longer than me.

I’m wondering if I’ll be getting an early Christmas present (Christmas miracle) that mine has been scheduled. Many of us were scheduled on a Tuesday last month. So with the holidays maybe they might do it at different times and dates but my email came 4:28pm ET on a Tuesday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with the holidays maybe they might do it at different times and dates but my email came 4:28pm ET on a Tuesday Scheduling is always done on Thursdays and when holidays such as Thanksgiving fall on Thursdays there is no scheduling that week. The only exceptions are verified COVP orders with incremental allocation and priority scheduling that can be scheduled at any time. In rare cases, a high-level executive in Dearborn can circumvent the system and order a vehicle scheduled immediately. When Mark Fields was the Ford CEO, Ford referred a friend of his to our dealership to order a vehicle for him. As instructed, we contacted Ford when the order was submitted and it was scheduled an hour later! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguyindallas Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Just for sport, I texted my dealer (since it’s a Thursday). My Plat was ordered on 11/19 and confirmed on 11/22. No news on mine, as I expected to be the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see many others that have been waiting a lot longer than me. Dealerships that have multiple or all retail orders sitting in the USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) at the default "19" priority code don't do any favors for their customers or their customers satisfaction. Multiple orders with the same priority code tells the scheduling system that the dealership doesn't care what orders are scheduled as it treats them all the same. The system will follow the path of least resistance and schedule the order that meets the applicable commodity restraints the easiest, regardless of the original order date. You have nothing to lose by contacting your Dealer to discuss your priority code and asking about the other unscheduled retail orders they have in their USOB. Not doing so could add months to your wait time while other retail orders get scheduled. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealer number 2 said he would not raise the priority from 19 since I placed the order on 11/20 and said there were 19 other trucks ahead of mine. still nothing on either order except it’s been submitted and clean.

Good... at least it seems that your dealership is treating you well and giving your order priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallow Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I dropped 5th wheel prep off my KR, and got a build date the following Thursday. Guess I’ll drill and mount it my self. Dealer was confident if I dropped it, my order would get picked up. If you’re not hard up for the bed plugs and can mount the bracket, along with ditching Berliner and AS y’all might get a build date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer has a total of 9 450s on order. Yeah I don't understand the timing at all. I was figuring on later January delivery. Guess I got lucky. Hang in there, the wait is worth it!
