If that's really true in this day and age they have very poor build procedures and QC.
They haven’t even started scheduling yet. Plus you are only behind others at the same dealership. And then, most likely only behind those with similar trim level. First a dealer needs an allocation, they need the build config Ford is looking for. For example, if you are a Lariat AWD and the others are XL Hybrid, you probably would get picked sooner than the other ‘ahead’ of you.
Agreed. Why aren't the workers picking up on these flaws and fixing them before the vehicles get further down the line? No pride in their work or low work ethic? Ford should hold their employees to higher standard as this doesn't seem like a wise or cheap business practice (maybe why they're losing so much money to recalls and repairs).
OK, I can see that with all the computer tech in these new vehicles, but anything beyond that is unacceptable.
I don't work at the factory but I think it's also the supplier. They are an assembly plant.
It ain't like the days (100+ years ago) 1903. When "Henry" built his cars completely onsite. (made his own steel, cloth and glass, etc..).
Is there an issue where some of the 2025's won't have the pro trailer features? I thought any 2025 Lariat with the 4K tow package would automatically have that?
Job 1 Maverick Lariat and Tremors won't have the Pro Trailer Assist options regardless of whether you have the 4k tow package or not. Job 2 will have those features.
I just contacted my dealer via email asking if my build will be Job 1 or 2. Order went in 8/15, so I'm hoping that means 2. Any other way to determine this?
It's standard on Lariat, Tremor, Lobo starting with Job 2. Is not part of the 4k tow. And won't be on job 1 builds on Lariat and Tremors.
I'm probably going to cancel my order and then wait to order when they can ensure a "Job 2 " build then.
