Okay, so here's an update for everyone.
Looks like I was a little too optimistic on Retail orders, but we did receive 1 schedule of a 300A FWD 2.0L Maverick. It is scheduled to be buiilt the week of 8/23/21 as you can see here.
Also, probably more encouraging to most of you is that we have 10 retail orders that have had their priority code changed to "02". This means that someone at Ford has upgraded their priority code. At the dealership level we cannot change a priority code to anything in the single digits. While these aren't "scheduled", they will be among our first retail orders scheduled. I'm not sure on the exact timing.
Even better news for those worried about constraints is that out of our 10 scheduled 6 of them contain the 2.5 Hybrid. This was an option that was constrained from this weeks stock order run. Also encouraging is that the majority of our retail orders were also equipped with the spray in bedliner, which was constrained for our stock orders as well.
What I can take away from this is that while Ford may be refining their initial production process currently and limiting some options on our stock orders, at least for now, they plan on having these options available whenever the retail orders begin production.
