The 600 days waiting club

[javaguy89]

So I think it is high time us people who have been waiting over 600 days have a club of our own. LOL
I will go first. I ordered September 16th 2021. 5/8/23 was 600 days for me. no vin or anything.

Salute for those unfortunate enough to be in the 600 club.

Do you get 45 day emails? Do you get calls from the dealer? Have you verified your order is in the system by calling up Ford support? Has your dealer indicated his allocations are adequate to cover your order? Just curious...

YES TO ALL I get my 45 day emails. I call ford once a week to check for updates and verify my order. I talk to the dealer bi monthly and they have the allocation and i am at priority 10. I have done everything in my power save driving to the plant in mexico and building it myself. Everyone always is quick to tell me it is my fault.

I didn't intend to suggest it was your fault the truck is late. Just inquiring if you had all the information you need. (BTW, I'd quite like to sneak into the Hermosillo plant when my XLT is being built and swap out the white dash and white door panels with the grey counterparts from an XL. )

I'm worried you don't have VIN by now? Are you sure your in Ford's system?

That's another possibility too. There have been people who placed orders with dealerships and their dealers were clowns and actually never placed the orders in time before the order banks closed.

OP, did you at least receive a WBDO order sheet with order number and sales code? If you have that, you can call or chat with Ford support and ask for the current status of your order.

Dealers are not the ones you should count on for information about your order. Many are just lazy and won't update their customers about order status.

I would be talking to your dealer because there is no reason that anyone who had a 22MY order doesn't have a 23MY vin by now. Keep in mind if you don't get produced in 23MY you will loose your Transition Private Offer.

They should be giving your order the highest priority while leaving new 23MY orders at a lower priority. You should be 10 while new orders should be 11-19. That would put your order at the front of the line within the dealer's orders.

Another thing to look at is what is on your order. Take off all bed accessories: Tonneau Covers, Bed Extender, Bed Tray Liner, Drop-in Bedliner. Take off Splash Guards, Paint Protection Film, and all DIO options.

Just a thought, hope it helps.

I took off all accessories and to everyone who is says I don't have an order. I got my 45 day love letter

I did not read the rest of the comments, sorry if I offended you. Just trying to help. Sounds like you have done everything YOU can do to get it scheduled. Hopefully your dealer has done everything they can to help you. They should have given new orders a priority 11-19 so that they can give orders like yours at priority 10 so they will get scheduled first. You might remind them that if you don't get scheduled in 23MY, you will lose the Transition Private Offer. I'm hoping for the best for you.

Thank you I thought this would just be a fun group for people who are waiting like the 500 days waiting club but I guess there aren't any 600ers lol

How about over 700 days??? Yeah, I know there is 2 orders, but still…. the 22 order is still in my count days even though the sales manager did NOT finalize the order so it actually was never a completed order, (per Ford Customer Service). The 23, who knows what will become of it and it is a priority 10.

I just missed your 600 day club. Got mine this past Friday. 558 days. XLT hybrid, stripped of everything. Didn't talk to Ford much, never got any emails but my dealer was quite helpful on keeping me up to date the best they could. Understand your frustration
