I ordered from Granger Sept 3, email from Ford for Sept 4. Right now it is somewhere between KC and Granger (probably still in KC). Truck was built 3/25. Sat in KY for a while, shipped to KC and arrived Apr 15. Ford changed my delivery date from Apr to May a few weeks ago. Log jam seems to be at rail yards. bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can now sell the truck at any price agreed to by both parties in a new transaction. As long as the Dealer properly reported and documented your cancellation in the COVP program, they're in compliance with the COVP program requirements. Yes my order was a COVP. I assumed cancelled COVP orders would be no longer be built. If it was converted to another order then why would I get the email notification?

Once scheduled and assigned a VIN number, an order cannot be cancelled by a Dealer, regardless of the order type (Stock, Retail, Fleet). Only Ford can cancel scheduled orders. Ford communications are not always sent on a timely basis and information in Ford's internal systems does not always transfer to other systems or departments on a timely basis either. I'm still getting payment reminders via e-mail from Ford and Ford Credit on a lease that I paid off 3 months ago, nearly 7 months prior to the lease expiration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL ... that's OK , I understand how large companies typically put their priorities on systems that make them money. ... not so much on the stuff like the COVP program. As always, thank you for your insightful posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoman Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 3 hours ago, ice-capades said: Just because the customer received an e-mail from Ford stating that the order was now "Scheduled for Production" doesn't mean that the Dealer didn't take the appropriate action. Knowing that Ford's communications are not always timely, it's very possible that the vehicle was scheduled when the customer cancelled. I'm driving a Ford vehicle on a Ford Credit lease that I paid off six months early, yet I still get a payment reminder each month from Ford. Once a vehicle is scheduled, the order cannot be cancelled. As long as the Dealer properly reported and documented the customer's cancellation in the COVP system, the Dealer can sell the vehicle to a new customer without being in violation of the "Name Match" verification for the original customer. It makes me wonder how many backlogged orders are like this. There seems to be no way for Ford to reliably know which orders are cancelled, forfeited, whatever you want to call it. If Ford had a more accurate process then maybe they would actually be able to build orders with real customers waiting. I'm sure pre-pandemic they didn't have to really worry about it.

Cglenn Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Well I am not surprised that I didn’t get picked up for scheduling. I did reach out to my salesman to go ahead and add AS to my order since I checked and the parts are physically available to purchase from ford parts and not on back order(very very expensive as just the steering wheel assembly is $2800 plus it looks like a special steering box is also required $800). Salesman told me that cannot add AS to any super duty at this time period. I think this is bs since I am unscheduled and have not been previewed. Can anyone confirm ??

BuffaloBasinGal Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Visited the rail yard where our pickup is at somewhere for the second time this week hoping to get a look at it. It’s been a month to the day that it was built on 3/28. It’s been sitting at the rail yard since 4/17. There are probably 20 transports loaded and just sitting there. It was supposed to be delivered to the dealer on Sunday, but no go. Hopefully it gets delivered tomorrow as expected. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i recall you mentioned your dealer is 100 miles from Denver. My dealer is 30miles from denver and my truck was to arrive this week. Thinking my truck may be there too.

If I’d have known it wouldn’t have been scheduled by now, I’d have just left them on. That's why I left them on. I saw some orders with and without getting held up. The dealer suggested to remove both of them to get scheduled quicker, but to your point, I think I would have been waiting this long anyway.

Heattt556 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Recieved "scheduled for production" email today. The production is running pretty well in my opinion, though I know I am not one of those guys waiting for quite a while so i could have a differenceof opinion if I were in their shoes. I will add the info of my order. Seeing others post their info here gave me better insight, so I hope my info will help others as well. 2022 F350 XLT 7.3 CCSB, BAP, Fifth wheel prep, spray in bedliner. Dealer input Priority code 19. Order submitted from dealer: 1/6/22 Order recieved email from Ford: 1/6/22 Delay email from Ford: 3/19/22 (I think most of everyone received this email as the email was pushed out by Ford at midnight) Scheduled production date: 5/23/22 Recieved email from Ford on 4/29/22 stating production date was moved up to 5/16/22.

Thanks It’s the Union Pacific Railyard 9900 I-76 Service Road in Henderson, CO off of. I sure hope you get your pickup this week. Ours was supposed to be delivered last Sunday, so hopefully they come through tomorrow. Maybe ours will be on the same transport and we will both be rolling in our new wheels this weekend. Otherwise maybe we can come up with a plan to bust our pickups out of jail together! Haha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, my dealer is 70 miles south of Denver and my rail car arrived at the BNSF Big Lift facility (not the UP one by I76) on Wednesday early AM and tracking showed the car released unloaded later that day. No idea how long it will take to get to my dealer from the Big Lift. I'm hoping for a week or less but I've heard that duallys may have limited spots on the transporter so it may be longer. I would have thought that all trucks from the Kentucky plant would go to the same facility in Denver. I guess some must go by different railways so maybe that's the difference? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which rail yard mine will be offloaded, I've not been tracking after shipped... so i can hope my truck is at least in one of those rail yards. Mine truck is a drw too. Big lift facility would make sense since it is closer to my dealer. Edited April 29, 2022 by cboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affirmative, the tracker showed shipped the day it left KTP and was again updated very shortly after arriving at the dealer. I had checked it about an hour before the dealer called and it still showed as being shipped. After I hung up with the dealer, I checked and it showed arrived at dealership. CSX tracking was useless, it reported it was stuck in Chicago from 3 days after leaving KTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOU-TX-TREMOR Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I stopped by my dealer last week to get any information I could on my order (14 Feb ordered F350 Tremor w/ 7.3). As I got out of my vehicle, a diesel Tremor was returning from a test drive. I asked if it was available and the salesman said, yes, if this gentleman doesn’t buy it. Sticker was $84k and salesman said they were asking $99k. I think I’ll just wait for mine to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well don’t get too discouraged, my rig is also stuck in the black hole off “plant hold” too. It was built and released for shipment on 3/30, then changed to delay rail carrier and finally plant hold and still hasn’t shipped. The anticipation has been killing me over the last four weeks.

That forum will be short down shortly. Your Dealer has 24/7 access to the Vehicle Visibility reporting system which includes the vehicle tracking, location, rail carrier, rail car number and all shipping status updates through vehicle delivery to the dealership. Otherwise, you can use the Ford Vehicle Order Tracking site (https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/) by entering your order number and VIN number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
