Order date 10/22/21. Build date 3/21/22. Delivery 3/28/22. I have to say the wait is more than worth it and made it that much better to finally get it. Extremely impressed with the truck.

NH_Bulldog Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Mine is supposed to be on a train somewhere between KTP and the ramp in Massachusetts. My last vehicle hit the dealer in 10 days (and that included adding company graphics) so I am hopeful it might get here before my PCO expires on 4/4. This is a new dealer for me and he says he can't get the railcar info so I just have to wait and hope I guess.

The dealer honored mine that expired on 1/3 because of when I ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that is what I figured since after 17 different Fords, it has never been an issue. But I have never worked with this particular dealer before (it is only a relationship of convenience since they happened to have the exact truck I wanted already on order) and although I told him how he can get the information for me, he doesn't seem to want to try to put any effort into it. They don't want to work with X-Plan, they add a "market adjustment" to MSRP and he says he can't ask for an extension of my PCO either (although I gave him the information and number that I received from marketing to request the extension). All very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what i looked for in all honesty i didn’t want to have the blocks for the leveling. More of a all around comfortable ride and make it as close to stock as possible (for ride quality). The Blisten 5100s have been on a friends of mine for 4 or 5 years and is lifted all that stuff and truck rides smoother than most trucks I’ve been in lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very frustrating. Great, another example of a Ford Dealer that's too lazy and can't be bothered to do their job and provide the information a customer requires. It's simply amazing how many Dealers are either so lazy or incompetent to realize that the little time and effort it takes to provide customers with retail orders such information. Sure, many dealerships are working with lower staff levels than pre-pandemic and there's been a tremendous increase in the volume of retail orders. For more than 35+ years of managing inventory, my policy was to be pro-active and provide retail customers with order status updates before they felt a need to ask. Each morning I prepared a Vehicle Visibility report showing the current and/or updated status for every retail and fleet order that was distributed to the General Manager, Sales Manager, Fleet Manager, Finance/Business Managers and all Sales Representatives that had retail orders. It took all of a half hour to produce and distribute the information. At some point the microchip shortage situation will be history and commodity restraints and supplier issues will ease. But in the future, when today's customers return to the market again, those customers and enthusiasts that have been treated so poorly, those customers are going to remember the dealership experience. Short-sighted management decisions, policies and practices do not make for long term success and customer loyalty. 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. There are many dealers that are not adding anything of value to the purchasing process. Try to test drive a vehicle? NOPE None available, all sold, no gas, etc... unless you want to pay their asking price. Do you have a question about the vehicle or buying process? You may or may not get accurate information. "Buyer beware" really is a thing with dealers. Perhaps Ford (and other manufacturers) are going to realize that their old sales model using dealers is not working. If the independent dealerships go away, they have themselves to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstFord22 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I think I just may be more obsessed now that she’s being shipped - or would that be transported since it’s by train and not a ship?! Eh hmm, squirrel. I just got off the phone with the CSX automated system and she is en route and will be in Florida by 4/1. Time to secure financing! Just purchased the 2.0 Fox shocks with dual stabilizers. I’ve never added this many toys to any of my previous vehicles ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
