That is correct. Every order, any model, has to be paired with a Ford factory allocation.
Allocations are model-specific and gifted based on previous sales. Dealers who sell a lot of Mustangs will be gifted more allocations than a dealer who sells few.
If an allocation is not available, while...
In today's market, in several places of the country, MSRP is at least a fair, if not great deal. Several Members have commented of dealers who will not even discuss a sale unless a mark-up is involved.
If Ford increases the list price increases before arrival, you should be covered. Ask the...
Shortly after placing the order, you should have received a confirmation e-mail from Ford. Did you? If not, follow-up with the dealer. Many times, they input the address incorrectly, or forget.
After order confirmation, you might not receive any further word for quite some time (months). The...
If living in Korea, cars pricing at the level of a G90 are most often bought by wealthy and executive types. Owners typically have drivers/chauffeurs.
Times past, the Equus was such a car. Always in black with heavily-tinted windows. Always with a chauffeur.
It's a level of car which shows...
Ford Performance sells them. If it is a concern, simply remove the unit (they can be installed or removed in moments) before taking into the dealer and re-install after picking the car up.
Countless units are installed. I'm sure one can find extremes anywhere on the Internet, but I've never...
So I have a Gen 3 V-8, drawing 15 ml / 1 Tbs of oil every 1250 miles, 2011 kms. If the car were a DD, putting down 10K mi / 16K km a year, that measures out to as much as 1/2 cup, 236 ml a year. I prefer to keep all that out of the intake system.
I installed one the day I brought the car home and continue to use one. I feel they are a step towards goodness and provide additional insight as to the health of the engine.
Oil and other contaminants are kept out of the intake runners, off the valves and out of the heads. They also give...
Feedback from yesterday.
@Juzrock , if you confirm with the supporting dealer General Manager they will not provide Price Protection, we'd appreciate knowing who the dealer is, so as to avoid them. Thank You.
Regarding the agreement you signed, it reads like you set a specified price. We have...

Above is a thread with a lot of references and history of the 10r80.
I've never owned or driven a vehicle with the 10r80, so I cannot speak to it. Being a modern...
Generally, yes, the VIN locks the build.
If they've issued a VIN, you should have a date of production. Ford has the needed parts on-hand, nearby or scheduled to arrive.
Being a new model year with differing economic conditions, I'm not sure anyone has a feel for that.
While mine took less than two weeks to arrive, at the other extreme, others have taken 60+ days. Some Members have literally seen their builds sitting at the depot on the other side of the fence...
Ford, how they accept and schedule builds, is something of a black box; no one really knows how it works. Dealers receive allocations, prioritize their orders and discuss with their regional reps. What happens afterwards are Ford's internal processes. :inspect:
Regarding Member comments of the...
The initial information I'm finding is that the connecting rods in the DH come from the Predator engine.
Increased strength and durability I feel are givens. Other benefits, I cannot confirm.

Each state and county tax authority can have their own processes, so get with your local DMV to discuss.
You have the benefit of not being the first. The DMV can cite statutes, offer forms, gift contacts, tax account info, process information and all that.
After everything is settled, expect...
I hear ya. My first car, used, cost all of $400. My parents bought their first house for less than the base price of a DH. I know it's different adjusting for inflation and all, but still. It can make one pause.
It's a topic worth thinking about while waiting for the car. It's also a great time to study, tour and get quotes from any facilities you're considering.
Each person is going to have their own perspective and opinion on this. And there are practical matters, such as how much you'll be driving...
