Ford's Allocation System & How It Affects Your Order + Current Mustang Scheduling Notes (by Long McArthur)

[BrianJ77]

Brian my guy, please for the love of god place another order at a different dealer. Your's seems to be screwing you. You can have both ordered and just take delivery on whichever shows up first. You have no obligation to stay loyal to a specific dealer, especially if they aren't treating you, the customer, in the way you want.

I have a deposit at my dealer that I am going to go get back. I agree it's time to move on.

It's quite frustrating how this process works.
For the last 2 weeks i had a production date, but now it's gone.
Ford chat used to confirm it but now they claim there is no date anywhere.
My dealer keeps saying "we're checking" but nobody can tell me what's going on.

I see a bunch of people getting scheduled today, but mine seems to have fallen off the table.

If mine doesn't show up by October... I'm just gonna cancel and get my deposit back... Not gonna pay for the car just to have sit in the garage all winter...

When you lay off 8,000 people that are in their 50's in the ICE group, you lose all that tribal knowledge and it leads to issues like this. Ford takes no ownership of the "supply chain" issues they created by not providing accurate forecasting and launch approvals to suppliers in time for suppliers to start making parts.

Indeed.

I wouldn't mess with it if it is previewing although you could. 3-9 is only in testing and Ford has advised dealers not to use them.

How hard is it to get priority 01. I have 01 on my DH order with a build date of 7/11.

All Dark Horse orders where a dealer has an allocation coming will see 01 priorities.

It's not just Mustangs, kids. Go check out the Bronco boards, Ford's allocation and production "system" is broken, there are guys that ordered Broncos back in 2020 that still don't have their vehicle...

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