Did your build include the Dark Horse handling pack? According to Ford, that option is not available until March/April because with the HP summer tires, they can't drive the cars out of the plant until the temperature warms up.
Mid-2025 is just too long for me to wait for Dark Horse HP. You can't even be sure you would get it by then. I cancelled by order today and told my dealer to give the allocation to someone else.
Another thing to watch for is to make sure you avoid any car wash with a "track" that you have to drive in. With low profile tires, your rims will end up getting scratched when you go through.
If you have to go through a car wash, I think the touchless models where you just drive in and stop...
I agree 100%! I need warmer weather tires anyway, so why not let ship with something that works in the warm, with the track tires separately. Or even just give me the option to order warmer weathers tires and I will get track tires later...
I wonder if the "constraint" was the issue that they don't produce cars with the summer HP tires from November-March? I placed my order with HP July 30, and it was "accepted". Since they don't start production until November, I think all HP orders are delayed until March/April.
My dealer did send me a copy of the "Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement", or DORA. It shows the order receipt date, the pricing, and each option in the order. For example mine shows the color, manual transmission, 700A package, 67P handling package, etc. Everything I gave them when I made...
I have an order in for a 2025 DH with HP. I am seeing the same thing as the OP. No confirmation e-mail. Dealer had confirmed order is placed and I have a copy of the DORA showing my order and my name.
Dealer has told me that things should get moving after production starts November 1st...
The Ford Build tool will let you delete the hood accent stripe, but you can't get a great look. I would say the matte image above is pretty accurate though. I went for the accent stripe delete with my 2025 order since the car will be shadow black.
I spoke to my dealer yesterday, and the inventory manager confirmed that they would not be building cars with track tires during that time frame, so the earliest my car could be built would be March/April 2025. He did say they should not cancel the orders, and that they should stay in the...
I have a copy of the Ford DORA (Dealer Order Receipt Achknowledgement), and it has my name on it, and a screen shot showing that it has my e-mail. I just spoke with the dealer and they said: "Vehicle Status Updates Will Not Be Emailed For Specialty Units At This Time (i.e. Shelby/Raptor...
Any idea if this includes Dark Horse models - specifically those with the handling pack? I remember reading somewhere that the models with track tires (GT500, Mach1 with handling pack, and DH w/handling pack) aren’t in production from November thru March?
I ordered a 2025 Dark Horse on July 31st, and received a copy of the approved DORA from the dealer, but no emails from Ford yet. I don’t think they are starting production until November, so I think it’s going to be a while before they send out those emails.
I was able to place my order today - and no ADM! Now we just have to wait for the line to start in November. Still waiting for the e-mail confirmation from Ford. Expecting it shortly.
My dealer called me tonight and said they can take an order now! They are telling me no ADM. Fingers crossed that stays true when I confirm with them tomorrow.
Does anyone know when the dealers are going to be able to place orders for 2025 Dark Horse models? I'm working with one of the largest Ford dealers here in Michigan to place an order for a 2025 Dark Horse. I've been told they can't place orders yet, but they have me "first on the list".
I'm looking for a set of alternate wheels and tires for road use on the handling pack Dark Horse, for times when the temperature drops in the fall/spring.
Looking at the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4's, but they are not available in 305 or 315 widths. Thinking about picking up a set of...
