"Retail Order" is one placed by the customer. "Stock Order" is one placed by the dealer for inventory. That is what I read on the Long McArthur Ford YT site. CJ Dave.
As I am now able to view the window sticker mine will ship by convoy. The sticker also shows "Special Order". Don't know what that means. The first build I date I received was the week of 5/13. That has moved up to "In Production" as of 5/6. CJ Dave.
