When can/should I expect notification of build completion and dealer delivery?? Thank You! I've been seeing Reserve orders taking 3-4 months from what I've read on various forums/groups. GT orders longer than that. They just did a round of scheduling into April weeks, so if your car was not scheduled yet, you may be waiting for a May build at this point or later. Have you checked in with your dealer on status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJH Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Last Friday dealer said my order was Priority 2 status. No idea what that means… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what that means… Priority is relative to other orders within that dealer. There's posts around on how the allocation system works, but basically they round robin through dealers, picking up the highest priority order within that dealer's unscheduled orders that can be built given current commodity constraints. 2 is pretty high, so it means that your order would likely be next in line from your dealer as soon as commodity constraints allow.

The commodity shortages is the biggest thing causing delays as far as I know, so while you may have a high priority (I think 2 is highest a dealer can set without their regional rep doing something special), your order still won't get scheduled until Ford has the right parts to build it. Here is an older post explaining the whole process that I found handy: https://www.focusrs.org/threads/the-ford-ordering-process-explained-from-start-to-finish.908/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
