Got my order in this morning to covert my 2022 leftover from January. The sales person and I both failed to notice it had accidentally been entered in as an AWD but thats ok. I was considering that anyway. Told them to leave it on, might come in handy over the winter. They did put my leftover order in as a priority 10 as they were supposed to. See what happens for try #2. Got the confirmation Email from Ford soon after.
I'd like some confirmation on that. Everything I've heard so far has been COVP approval is still a thing, and without it, your truck isn't getting built. It's the only thing keeping dealers honest and from submitting STOCK orders as RETAIL orders. (and the threat from Ford to reduce allocations which hurts the customer as much if not more than the dealer).
I didn't receive an order sheet, I did everything over the phone
I would ask the dealer to email you a copy along with the COVP approval (They may not have that yet) or plan on going in soon (very soon) to get it along with a signed buyers order. Order banks are closing in days (yes days), so make sure your order is in. (COVP can come later, but the order needs to be in).
If I received the official Ford Confirmation email with my name on it, doesn't that mean that my order is In?
What exactly does that mean? What does COVP/ROVP show or provide that it can be optional?
What's the lowest it can be on the priority?
But this does mean that my order is actually placed right? So, I shouldn't necessarily have to do anything else but wait now?
If you trust the dealer and/or they have a good reputation. Otherwise I would press for a signed buyers order as I said before and COVP status.
COVP is Fords way of verifying you are a real customer and that dealer didn't just make up a name to complete an order. The dealer needs to send a copy of your driver's license that matches the name on the order. Until that is complete and approved your order will sit in purgatory and never be scheduled.
