So Job 2 opens 11/08. I'm taking a guess here please anyone correct me if I'm incorrect. Since I ordered 3-28 & have not received a build date & I have a priority 19 I'll take a hopeful guess & say that I will get a build date for JOB 2 soon!?

No clue, but hope so. Me too 3/27 ordered.

Anyone able to explain the BTS Dark Horse allocation order statement? Does it mean if a dealer still has an open DH allocation, they must place an order without Dark Horse package (whatever that is) or forfeit? Or does it mean an existing order must be changed if they're up for scheduling? It's like another frickin language

From what I understand, "BTS" commonly refers to "Built To Stock." When they mention that dealers with BTS allocation must place eligible orders, it means that these dealers have a specific allocation or allotment of vehicles that are manufactured and held in stock by Ford.

"Built To Stock" vehicles are manufactured without a specific customer order and are typically based on forecasts and market demand. Dealers with this allocation need to place orders for eligible vehicles from their allocation to ensure they receive and maintain stock of those particular models or configurations. This helps ensure that the dealer has a consistent supply of vehicles to offer customers without waiting for specific orders to be placed.

Thanks. That makes sense back in early November that DH orders for Dealer Inventory would be the first to have allocations unfilled if Handling Pack was ordered. Now it seems the lack of parts or whatever for Handling Pack has bled into the Retail Order side with fellow members being notified that they might not get built if HP is optioned.

Where do you stand with your DH order today?

Exactly where I did 9 months ago: nowhere!

That is very sad.

That is very sad.

I'm kinda meh about it right now. Curious to see what the world looks like when it actually arrives: what will interest rates be? Will some of these 1st delivery issues be resolved? Will Ford have announced another trim level above the DH for the street (GTD doesn't count)?

At this point I'm not really anxious for it. It'll happen when it happens. The Bronco, Maverick, Super Duty, and Transit guys are still playing miniature violins for us.
