Ford4Me2 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Ordered truck on 2/22/22 been 10 weeks and no schedule date or VIN number. Is this normal? If scheduling is 4 to 6 weeks out should I add that time to it once I finally receive a VIN? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 In a normal year scheduling is 3-5 weeks. This is t a normal year. Depending on your priority and how many orders your dealer has ahead of yours it might take several months. Talk to your dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIN numbers and the assigned production week are assigned when the vehicle is scheduled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyGreatEscape Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 It probably depends on the vehicle. I ordered my Escape on 4/1/22 and have a VIN and scheduled production the week of 5/31. I also have a small dealership that placed the order. I'm praying I don't get bumped another week. My production week went from 5/16 to 5/23 in the same day. The following week, they bumped it to week of 5/31. Good luck on your truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 We're launching Bronco Raptor soon so we're not working any OT right now, that's probably what the holdup is. Should pick back up in a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptors at this point don't get delivered for almost close to 8-10 months from order to delivered Edited May 6, 2022 by RapZilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyGreatEscape Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Geez. Every time I mention the fact that I ordered a vehicle, I am suddenly blessed with an email from Ford pushing my build week yet another week. The plant schedule shows all weeks of June are for scheduled production. I can only hope that I land on one of those weeks. Quite disappointing.

I ordered a Nautilus the beginning of this month and got a VIN end of last week and scheduled currently for the week of June 20th. Now, I'm not sure if I want it due to lack of availability on the 22 way seats. I now also have an F-150 Tremor on order that they did a spec change from an existing canceled order.

Gorthek Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I was under the assumption as well that when your VIN shows up, it would be scheduled within the newly scheduled weeks of production. However that didn't seem to be the case with mine. Escape PHEV, ordered on Apr 19th. Showed up on dealers website with Vin May 13th, when late July was being scheduled. Contacted my dealer a week later, and was told it's been scheduled for the June 12th week. Fingers crossed, It'll be built in two weeks and I'll have a window sticker and estimated delivery date.

If you have a VIN number, it's scheduled which your Dealer can confirm via the Vehicle Visibility report which will also show the initial scheduled production week.

Still unscheduled and not other update..........Been on order for 3 1/2 months Welcome to the new reality of retail ordering a new vehicle. If you read many of the threads on the forum you will find this is the norm, due to commodity restraint, which are more than chip shortages. I waited 7 months for my F-450 to receive a VIN and over 8 months from order to delivery. One of our neighbours has a Bronco on order and he is about 4.5 months and has no VIN. Purchasing a new vehicle is certainly a test of patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 3.5 months for a retail Ranger order, you should have a VIN number and scheduled production week by now. Have you talked to your Dealer about how many unscheduled Ranger retail orders are ahead of you, your priority code, and any information on why your order hasn't been scheduled yet?

Yes I have been in contact with them and they said there was nothing they could do just have to wait...... Doesn't seem right? I have also called the customer service at FMC several time for updates.

If you're relying on information from your sales representative, you're talking to the wrong person. At this point, you should be talking directly to the sales manager or general manager for answers. They have access to the latest information. If they don't know why your order hasn't been scheduled yet, they should be talking to their Ford Zone Manger for answers.

akirby Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Ask them point blank - what is my priority and how many orders are ahead of mine? If they won’t tell you go somewhere else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford4Me2 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just spoke with dealership and they say there is no update on my truck. Nothing that they see is holding it up???? Again advised to "wait"!!! Crazy times!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry52 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hey there Ford4Me2, your not alone, I ordered my Ranger on 02/21/22, I got my VIN# a few weeks ago and now waiting for them to post my Window Sticker. If I understand some of the post posted here on the forum they should be building Rangers the next few weeks so hopefully we'll both get some good news soon. This is the first new truck I've ever ordered and it sure does check your patients, my salesperson said it could take between 3 to 6 months when I ordered mine so I'm not too concerned yet.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one.....This is my 4th or 5th new one but every other time I was able to find one on a lot somewhere(not order). Our start dates are the same(mine 2/22/22). Mine is a super crew, 4x4, xlt with chrome and bed liner. Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry52 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I bought a 2020 Ranger XL 4X4 super cab off the lot a few years ago and was really happy with the way it drove and handled so decided to upgrade to the Lariat, Super Crew, FX4, 501A package, Cactus Gray and the Black Appearance package. This should be my last truck I buy and as soon as I pay it off the plan is I can finally retire. Yep hopefully we'll get our trucks about the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
