Chapman Ford allocations & delivery?

[bpcooper14]

@SgtLip Any response about their allocations? I'm thinking about dropping the lux package and doing aftermarket bedliner. I'm in TN....don't need the heated seats/steering wheel and plan on DIY side rails and bed lights pretty easily.

I ordered from ED from chapman in Philly. Everything so far as been great. My hybrid and 2.0 order went into production on sept 27.

Congrats! Can you share your order dates on both?

My 2.0 just was built yesterday and supposed to be here first week of November.

My hybrid is still showing in production.

Both had dates of 10/4

I'm not in a hurry, but it would be nice to have some sort of idea.. will it be January or will it be August.

Let us know if they tell you how many hybrids are ahead of you. I just ordered yesterday.

Thanks much

I have a Hybrid XLT Lux not scheduled yet (and I don’t see much of those being scheduled) - in preview for a while, may need to change build if not scheduled soon

I have a Hybrid XLT Lux also. What does "in preview" mean? My email from Ford only has the 4 steps - confirmed, scheduled, build, shipped.

This is all sounding a bit like the TV Show Shipping Wars.

Info from dealer, build being previewed by Ford, at priority level 2

Glad you mentioned this because I was going to email with the same question - will just wait to hear back from you @SgtLip

No real response. Here are the two email responses:

1. Steven replied: We have 52 of our 319 builds scheduled/in transit/produced right now. They are choosing units based off what they can build. They are not necessarily choosing first ordered units.

I replied: Thanks for info. No input on Allocations for October yet? No idea what I’m looking at time wise? I mean, if they are only Scheduling 2-6 Hybrids from Chapman and there are 300 on the list, I could be awhile. That is what I’m looking for.

2. Tom replied: We will know in the next couple days our COVP allocation for Maverick.

So in my opinion, neither one answered the question.

Ok... So just checked the vin tracker on my hybrid order and it is now showing a date of today and in production

Same!

Same!

Keep me posted when it goes into build status.

I bet it will this evening

I got an email from Steve when I asked what the out the door price would be. He gave me a breakdown of MSRP, invoice, discount, and fees.

Disclaimer. I really no nothing about this.

COVP = Customer Order Verification Program
I believe the COVP allocation is a nice way of saying that they (Chapman) weren't happy with the allocation Ford gave them, and they are appealing and waiting to hear the results of that?

From another (F150) thread from earlier this year. Note the discussion on "incremental allocation":
"Dealers will be able to utilize the existing COVP website on https://cni.dealerconnection.com to register retail orders for all vehicle lines (excluding Mach-E, Bronco and specialty units). Verified orders will receive priority scheduling and will receive incremental allocation. Vehicles that are not verified will still be scheduled but will scheduled within the dealer’s earned allocation.
Note that while this program utilizes the same process as the Retail Order Incentive, only previously communicated vehicle lines are eligible for the incentive. Please check SmartVINCENT for incentive eligibility. "

Sounds logical, but nothing Ford does appears to be logical. MY OPINION ONLY!!!
