Oldchevyguy Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hey guys, I am a newbie here. I ordered a new super duty on 2/14/22 and have been reading a lot of the posts here. I do have a general question about the orders. If Ford is prioritizing retail orders and COVP orders do not require dealer allocation, how are dealers able to order stock inventory with so many unfilled retail orders? Thanks in advance.

Probably because the retail orders can’t be built and dealers spec stock orders that are more likely to get built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they are retail orders that have been converted, for example because someone ordered from multiple dealerships, or a transaction fell through.

Did you get aVIN yet? Same as you. Confirmed orde ron Nov 19th and received a confirmation email and the hang tight email over the weekend. Originally I had the touneau cover and spray in bedliner which I took off on Feb 25th. I kept the 5th wheel prep. Black and Stone grey. No vin. Nothing. I hope you get yours soon.

Oldchevyguy Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I was at a Ford dealer on Saturday just looking around. A nice sales lady came out and during our conversation, she mentioned that Ford is going to be shipping a lot of unfinished vehicles to dealers lots to free up room. She said that these vehicles could not be sold until they were completed at a later date. Just thought it was interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I heard of it and now I'm seeing that quite a bit in the posts. He thought they would ship them without chips to speed up the back log. Regardless, I can wait. I just want it done right. Would love to have it to finish off turkey season but I'd rather wait. I have learned a whole new meaning of the word patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldchevyguy Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Yeah, it will test our patience for sure. Waiting would not be so bad if I knew for sure the truck would be built. It would be a hard pill to swallow to wait 6 months or more and then have to start all over at a higher price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in California, but mine just changed to In Production status last week. Hoping it gets built this week as currently scheduled. Went through the Dealer in Oakdale for mine. I’ll post any progress as things move forward. Best of luck with your order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping it’s actually shipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford has issued no statements about shipping unfinished or incomplete vehicles to dealerships for microchip installation, etc. It was under consideration over a year ago and then dropped. Someone makes a statement, it gets repeated numerous times and then it's considered a fact!

I believe the DORA is what you signed when you made the order and sent your DL and deposit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
787Toolman Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 On 3/19/2022 at 12:19 PM, ice-capades said: I'd love to know where this 27 or 29-week hold information came from that Dealers are supposedly telling customers and constantly reported. I see all the scheduling and commodity reports and nowhere have I seen such an estimate. Ice, I spoke with my sales manager at my Ford dealer, he said Ford did provide written confirmation that 5th wheel prep was a significant delay up to 29 weeks but that the notice stated in bold red letters to not share the details outside the dealer network, so, I only stated what delay they passed on to me. If I understand you correctly, the only part you questioned was how long the delay was associated with 5th wheel prep, and not that it's a problem commodity with significant delay of which many others are listed. Unfortunately, I cannot provide the proof you requested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casperok Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Didn’t receive an email but checked the tracker and moved into production! Window sticker link wasn’t working in the tracker but I was able to use https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin=xxxxx to see the sticker. Super impressed with the time frame. Dealer told me up front to expect May - June if I was lucky. Ordered 1/24/22 Confirmed email 1/24/22 Scheduled to week 4/4 on 2/17 Scheduled to week 3/28 on 2/18 *No email from Ford - In production 3/22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutz Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Things to find out from your dealer - how many trucks do they have on order, and where is your truck on that list. Also ask to have your priority code changed to a more favorable number (better than a 19). ‘Wish I knew about asking the dealer about their orders before I chose the one I did. Ordered on 12/21, currently 29 on their list of 60 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMows Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 16 hours ago, Monoman said: Fleet manager? If your order is not a retail (COVP) then it is probably not going to be filled anytime soon. I would insist on the dealer proving the order is a COVP and if it is not then reorder through another dealer that knows what they are doing. It is a COVP order, just working with the fleet manager. Have friends that work at the dealer and they steered me towards him. Had other friends work with him in the past also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
