What would you guys do?

[2022mavxlt]

On 9/27 I ordered an Iconic Silver Maverick XLT Ecoboost AWD, 4k Tow package and Copilot 360 are the only options. I got the confirmation email before I left the dealer. For Some reason my dealership is running way way behind the others. There has been 0 customer orders delivered and as of now they just got the first 2 orders scheduled to be built last week and they were ecoboost orders from June and July NOT hybrids. There are about 15 orders in front of mine from this dealership and only 2 have been scheduled as of now. So its looking like I might not see mine until April-June at best. I got priority code 19 and the dealer will not change the priority code they said it doesnt matter even though I know it does. Any idea what can be happening over there and any idea if theres anything I can do about it? I heard this dealership changed hands earlier in the year and their allocations may be down but I just dont get how this dealer is so far behind. I called every other dealer in the area and all of them have had at least a few customer orders show up already with more on the way. I dont get why they are so far behind, could they be messing something up when they put the orders in? is not changing the priority codes setting them back? Any feedback is appreciated thanks guys.

Yes, most likely have them change it to 10.

They wont change it they told me it doesnt matter even though I know it does. Its driving me crazy, and its not only me thats waiting. They are way behind everyone else in the area. Like I said not a single customer order in yet and only 2 ecoboost orders scheduled from june and july and those are scheduled for build last week of January and prob wont be delivered until end of Feb beginning of march and im like 13 orders behind those guys. I wonder if theres like a regional office or something I can call to have them change the code since my dealer wont do it.

Priority Code only matters within your specific dealership. It sounds like the orders that were put in in June/July are starting to get scheduled before your September order, which makes sense since they ordered before you. I wouldn't worry too much about Priority Code, it really doesn't matter especially when the dealer makes all the orders the same at 19. It just sounds like that dealer doesn't get a lot of allocations each month which is the more important issue and is most likely contributing to your delays.

I don't think changing the code will do anything. Ford is going to do what they want. The high volume dealers are at the front of the line...that's all there is to it.

The priority code only matters if they change some and not the others. If all of their orders are the same priority code, whether that be 10 or 19, everyone is on level playing field. He probably does not want to move you for this reason as it will deprioritize everyone. My dealer was the same way...

It doesn’t matter that you are the 31st order that the dealership has placed. They don’t build them or allocate them by order…. My dealership has about 30-40 orders and mine was about #30 something. My truck is built and on its way to the dealership now…. Sounds like mine will be the first order they’ve gotten in out of all their orders!!
