I'm getting mine 1% off invoice, which equates to $3K off MSRP...

On the contrary, it makes perfect sense from Ford's perspective. The more cars they sell, the better, for a number of reasons: 1. More revenue (obviously). 2. They have to maintain a certain level of production to maximize the utilization rate of their plants. Ideally, the more shifts they...

I used to be the representative on the other side who would respond to customer/dealer emails for some of Ford's programs, and it's most likely boilerplate language she's instructed to use by management (not her "own conclusion"). But yeah, the reason you highlighted is the biggest flaw with...

Same goes for the Maverick, F-150 Lightning, etc.

Not every week. Some weeks are just for clean up, in which they'll add orders that were missed to the schedule if there are still slots available for the month. Other weeks, they don't schedule anything at all.

I was specifically answering the part of your OP where you asked "Anyone else get a locked in start date?" But carry on...

As far as I'm aware, all but 1 or 2 GT buyers on this forum have build dates now. Many of the DH buyers are still waiting.

Yeah, I figured Ford would resort to that (YouTube copyright claim) and Rick probably got a "stern" talking to from their legal team and YouTube. I suspect it won't go much further than that though, unlike what some of the cryptic posts from earlier seemed to imply.

We all understand that. His point was simply it would be nice to have the option to pick up vehicles the from the plant, and to your point with the Corvette example, it's certainly something that *CAN* be implemented. We know it's not realistic due to all the fiefdoms/politics with dealers...

The internet's gonna internet...

As others have said, the configurator is a bit confusing, but the 401A package automatically comes with leather-trim as standard (which includes heated & cooled seats).

Indeed.

For the folks with June and July build dates, how long did it take to get your window stickers after being scheduled?

Not a new thing, but yes, that's been a huge issue with the Bronco as well. All the more reason why Ford and other OEMs need to establish infrastructure that would allow folks to pick up their cars from the Plant.

Yes.

Now the whole retail priority code thing is even more confusing with your explanation (although it's good to know a method exists behind the madness). :crazy: But it's nice that they're focusing on retail orders now that they've completed the initial stock orders. BTW, I'm just now connecting...

As of today, it seems @BrianJ77 is the only one (non-DH) still waiting, at least confirmed so far.

Same here, scheduled for 8/21. GT Premium Auto with PP, Active Exhaust and Magneride.

I just got my email, scheduled for 8/21.
