This clarification still leaves a lot a logical gaps that still need further clarification. Tim stipulates that the build combinations 1-10 are listed in the memo in order of severity of constraint, so combination #1 is most constrained and combination #10 is least constrained. If the...
Didnāt you read the original letter. It said changing the trim level, e.g, XLT to XL, changes the order date so you move to the back of the line. Of course no salesman would know this detail.
This advice from Ford does not square with the analysis of production scheduling posted in another forum. They found the ratio of Lariat Lux scheduling to Lariat non-Lux so far this year is about 10:1 in favor of the Lux. So it seems like Ford Marketing does not know what Ford Manufacturing is...
What is the point of Fordās recommended change No.9? If you ordered a Lariat Lux package (which requires Co-pilot 360), why would they want you to drop the Lux package but keep (add?) CP360, when they say CP360 is itself a constraint; and if you ordered a non-Lux Lariat with CP360, they...
Look at your DORA (dealer order acknowledgement). That will show if it entered Ford order system as a retail order. DOES NOT INDICATE IF DEALER COMPLETED COVP!
Lane keeping assist is not to be confused with lane centering. I have lane keeping assist on my 2018 Honda CRV and I find it an irritant and turn it off, since it nags whenever you change lanes. Moreover, I find that it sometimes applies the breaks whenever changing lanes without using the turn...
Point 3 in the letter from Ford is completion of the Customer Order Verification Process by the dealer. How can the customer verify that is done by the dealer? If the dealer didnāt, I doubt they would āfess up. The Maverick Marketing Team in Dearborn can only tell if this is marked as a retail...
Security system standard on non-Lux Lariat, so all you have to do is buy extra remote start fob from Ford Accessories. One with a remote horn and lights button @ $100, or the smaller fob without the horn button @ 2 for $100. These fobs are in addition to, and do not replace, the ones that come...
And donāt forget dual-clutch transmissions, like used in VW and some Hyundai models, and which caused such problems for Ford in the Focus and Fiesta.
I submitted my order for a non-Lux Lariat hybrid in July. Got the order confirmation email from Ford the next day and the apology for delay email order in the Fall. My DORA says itās a retail order; FoMoCo Maverick marketing team says it a retail order. Dealer priority code 11. Yet still no...
LHM Ford in Draper or downtown? Another thread said allocations are location specific, and not allocated to a dealership group. so shop location makes a difference.
I ordered a non-Lux hybrid in July, got a copy of my DORA, an acknowledgement of order email from FoMoCo, and the apology for...
This headline from todays Automotive News:
Automakers embrace software to unlock functionality long after a new vehicle leaves the lot
How long will Forscan be allowed to threaten this business model?
I think rear parking sensors are useless when you have a back-up camera. Far better to put this sensors on the front of the vehicle, where you have a blind spot in your view over the hood, and cannot see a parking bumper or other obstruction in the front, since there is no camera. PUT THESE...
