Can you still make changes if build date and VIN established?

Ordered 11/29 and on 11/30 received build date of 1/22/24. It's a hybrid lariat azure gray. Saw a black interior today so now am wondering if it's too late to change. Thoughts?

Yes too late as your build date is only possible based on parts availability and production capacity. If Ford let people change at this point it would cause MORE havoc with their ability to schedule production accurately with JIT (just in time) parts arrivals having to be rescheduled as well..

You ordered on 11/29 and got a build date the next day?

Anyway you must be talking BAP and while you could try to change it you would likely jeopardize your build date.

I think at this point, the only change you can make is color. At least that was how it was for '22 and '23 MY.

Built within two months of order. Things are getting better in Maverick land.

Daslack is right, UNLESS you are in a hurry for the truck. You can bet your bippy that your request will change/delay your delivery date; the question is HOW MUCH DELAY? Or, how much delay can you stand without regrets? One thing in your favor, delivery times seem to be a lot quicker now than they were at the very beginning of the 2022 builds. They had us scared to death about our delivery dates. If you can imagine, I got a "deal killer" email over the mud guards on my order. FOUR SCREWS are a deal killer!!!!????? So, I told them to go ahead and kill the mud guards, as I was in a hurry for the truck. It turned out they came on the truck after all.

My dealer told me you have one week to make certain changes once you get the vin. So you can try

"More havoc". Don't want to even think about it.

After a VIN has been assigned certain changes are still possible. The real difficulty will be getting your dealer to do it.

Since a VIN has been assigned it's not as simple as the dealer going into WBDO and updating the order. Your dealer will have to reach out to their Ford customer service specialist and request the change. If their Ford rep is willing to do it they will temporarily change the priority code from a 2 back to a 10. This will allow your dealer to make the changes to the order. Once that is done the dealer will then have to reach back out to their Ford rep and have them change the priority code back to a 2.

It sounds more complicated than it really is but a lot of dealers won't do it just out of principle.

I was told when I ordered my 2024 that I could change the paint color when I received the build date. That turned out not to be true. They will no longer do any changes.

After my Cactus Grey Mav was scheduled for production, I saw Area 51 out in the wild & loved it. Found out that after build date no changes can be made.

I don't wanna be that guy but the timing seems a little too good to be true, especially for a hybrid.
