These are internal dealer communications from Ford Corporate sent out to dealers. This is not the same as believing the word of a dealer that "everything's okay, bro".

Yes I know that. But if they are made at the same vendor it could free up extra capacity for the Maverick steelies. There has to be a reason for removing the option from the 2024 Rangers. All rangers now come with Aluminum wheels for 2024.
You dropped the hybrid and hitch. That's a completely different vehicle. So if you change it to something you don't want it will increase your chance of getting it. If we change our order to a Tacoma or Santa Cruz I bet we get them quick. I'm really not criticizing you but in giving up on what you want you really could consider those.

Maybe you have the mythical unicorn. There has to be at least one out there the makes it through the challenges and comes trotting over the rainbow to your dealer.

I have seen dozens posted here built just like mine. Just patiently waiting my turn.
The way I look at it, as long as Ford keeps building Mavericks then I have a shot. Maybe not as good as someone else because those damn allocations keep the playing field a bit uneven but a shot nonetheless. Gonna keep a positive attitude about it. Negativity eats at the soul. If it turns out I was wrong, then I was wrong. Been wrong before.

Did anyone confirm this is real? Or is it some ones trick?
Ford is saying that the hitch is still a constraint.

No one gets a VIN until they are scheduled. It was previewed, but not scheduled yet.

Greed is the reason. Higher trim levels, higher prices, fewer options is direction all the manufacturers are taking.
This thread has me confused. How can the order be "previewed" as a Priority 10? Based on reading this forum for the last 2 years, "preview" typically only happens as a result of an order converting to a Priority 2. Did this order go from Prioity 10, to 2, and back to 10 (which normally does not happen)? In the past, Ford would take a Priority 10-19 [a number set by the dealer] order, convert it to Priority 2 based on dealer allocation (i.e., if dealer had 5 allocation spots they may convert 8-9 orders to Priority 2), then preview all the Priority 2 orders from that dealer to dermine which they can make that month. The Priority 2s tended to stay as a Priority 2 and would be the first to be reviewed the following week until they eventually were filled (with some orders having specific constraints being in Priority 2 status for many months). Just curious if Ford has changed its process again or if the OP got wrong information?
