Does changing your color affect priority/queue/build time?

Would like confirmation on whether or not changing your color once banks close will do anything at all to my priority/spot in the queue/schedule date.

So long as your order is a priority code anywhere from 10 to 19, a color choice change should not in any significant way affect things one whit.

It won't, as long as your build hasn't been chosen for production. You can add or delete any packages or accessories up until that point.

It will not affect your priority or order date.

Here's a follow-up question: does changing constrained options affect priority? I have gone from 15, to 12 on my MY22, back up to 13 on my MY23. I called out my dealer on this and they have yet to respond. I removed a bed cover on my 22, and added it back on my 23.

Constrained options shouldn't affect your priority code but it probably will affect when your car is actually built and not pushed back after scheduling because you're picking constrained options.

I would keep the ones that are easy to add aftermarket and remove them from your order. Things like bed covers, tonneau covers, or the mud guards you could easily add yourself.

Does this include going up a trim level or do you have to stay with the same trim once you order it?

In theory color can be changed even when scheduled, but it requires more work between the dealership and Ford rep to coordinate.

Your spot on with this reply. I am doing as much myself after delivery to keep the delay down to an acceptable roar.
