A couple points (as you're the 2nd person to say this):
1. My understanding that priority codes really only matter for the purposes of dealers determining in which order they would like to receive their vehicles, not necessarily when Ford schedules them. And in theory (although this may not be...
This is deifnitely an interesting data point for future knowledge, because before you shared your experience, the common assumption was once you had a VIN you were SOL...
I worked for Ford's CSD years ago.
Trust and believe, the people (yes people, as there are likely multiple either CSRs or "Executive Liaisons" managing the account) responding on the forum are not paid nearly enough to stress over our comments (they're not even Ford employees) and I guarantee...
