Bought a 23 Chieftain, looking for a pristine ZL1 1LE. I refuse to do the Fing Bronco shit again

Not really cause the order will roll and it is in front of you - so to bad Bro

I’ll decide if and when it arrives what I want to do I don’t have any money in it so who cares

One less in front of me

To me, it seems like a soft confirmation for a delay. Anyone else get this email? Thoughts?

I received the same email today.

I received this email as well. First thing I've heard since getting the original confirmation order email on March 27th.

You've got a really unique name and it's probably in your best interest to leave that info blanked out on a public forum like this

Yea I forgot to my bad.

also it’s a much more common name in the state of Utah. It’s a religious name, very popular among the LDS population.

JIT.

Ford (and other OEMs) don't want that inventory on their books, so they only have suppliers deliver parts on an as-needed basis.

I get that. The place I work makes a few mechanical products and makes (most) of the parts to repair said products. We have to keep some inventory on hand. There are things that happen, sure. But you keep a safety stock of inventory, and you also front load when you release a new product that you are trying to sell. Even doing all that things happen, but for them to happen up front...really prior to any non "pre-production" items to make it out... I'm just sayin

Ford's under the impression that because of its brute scale (historically), it can bully vendors into holding its inventory and expediting its orders on demand.

No email ever. Ordered 4/1/23

would check with the dealer to make sure the email they attached to the order is correct... Sometimes fat fingers will bite you.

 

[Spaghettir101]

Yeah havent gotten that email either, but did get the first one. Also ford told me the email with my irder is correct

Now Ford chat makes you wait for updates too!

Update: Just kept getting the same automated wait messages. No one ever answered the chat. Ford must be having technical difficulties.

Update: got the email today ordered 3/28
