Same here, dealer made a copy of my drivers license, had me sign the DORA, and required $100 deposit. Not long afterwards I received an email with the assigned VIN. Build week confirmed for 9/20. Order placed 6/30.
I still have my civic to get around, but sold my 2011 Acadia in less than 24 hours after posting on FB. It's a good time to sell used. I can still pull my fishing boat with my 1971 GMC (showcased) until the Maverick arrives.
I would go one step further and go to their local website, and respond to their automated Chat request asking for the VIN regarding your order number. Then you can use the online tracker at both this site and the official Ford's.
The only email I received from Ford, was the one that included the VIN number confirming the order. I did not get the email that specified the Build week. I went into Anderson Ford and asked the front desk on the status of my order. I was provided a screenshot printout of their ordering...
I've been told folks in OH & MI tend to get them earlier and it makes sense. It also has a lot do with how you ordered, Ecoboost for example. It seems to me that you ordered using general packaging such as the Tow and Off-road, with minimal options except for the floor liners, and some luck...
I agree with your thinking. If you are towing near capacity, then trailer brakes are recommended. I can see why Ford's stopping FWD models for Towing; if you don't distribute the weight to get the optimal tongue weight, there could be problems, especially on the switchbacks. The optimal...
The option printout (dora) has an Order Code on it. The sales rep was able to manually trigger the email with the VIN number on it to my email address. With the Order code and VIN you can get status at https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/
You can also go to...
I read somewhere here that they would not pull anything more than 3200lbs, however it is rated to 4K. As long as your tongue weight is near what it should be for that weight you are pulling it should be fine. The Tow package comes with trailer brake controller so if you have a trailer brake...
No way I'm reconsidering. If anything, I'm getting even more excited about this truck. The specs I ordered are exactly what I've been waiting for in a small pickup, pricing included. It'll be worth the wait even if it runs into next year. The last Ford I owned was in HS, around 1977; I owned...
I sold my 2011 Acadia on FB merchandise. Posted on a Monday afternoon, had it sold by Noon the next day. Got what I was asking, no haggle. Used cars are selling fast. I still have my Civic to get around.
I was seeing the Tow package missing as well when entering VIN and Order code at the Ford site. But if you use the order tracker on this site, It will show up. I actually went into the dealership today and confirmed the Tow was ordered as well. And also found out my order schedule build is...
My original order form provided to me by the dealership when I put down my deposit had a priority of 19. From what I understand 1-10 are pre-paid orders, 11-19 for Retail orders (with deposit) and 20+ are for dealership fleet stock.
