Ford is not allowing dealers to place orders for stock. So what you think is happening - it isn't happening.
Where did you hear this? Last I heard was the Ford was making EB models avaible as stock orders for dealers due to the dealerships demands for stock units. My dealer was selling stock units (blue window sticker).

Let me guess. He will not sell you one equipped just like your order, except the color for MSRP. It gets frustrating that they get trucks on the lot to sell, but leave customers who ordered hanging.
Blame customers who ordered multiple to game the system and then abandoned.

Nothing in the world is right. The faster you understand this, the better off you will be.

I am also in the camp of free market. If you want fixed price, move to Venezuela or Cuba and see how that works out.
Thanks for the sarcastic reply . I am all for free market . I ordered a truck and put a deposit down. My order has no constraints,it is a 2023 model order and it was ordered the minute the order banks opened( supposedly). The 3 trucks on the lot are 2023 models , i could believe people would give up on 2021 orders ,but not after 5 months on a 2023 when people have waited nearly 2 years for their 2022 model.
I want a fixed price on my order ,I ordered at a fixed price and paid a deposit so i expect my order to be honored.
I dont believe a word that Ford says about dealers , we have another dealer selling a lariat for 60k!.
If you are a Ford employee and knows for a fact that Ford dealers are not ordering "stock" then I"ll take your word .
I'd buy something else if they would return my deposit .
Thanks again.

You are showing that you are not all that versed in how this process works. Your hybrid is the biggest constraint of all the constraints, and time of order is irrelevant.

A person who does not fully understand the way this works is getting worked up over something that has nothing to do with their order.
So would a person that does understand mind educating the poor guy that doesn't?

You have an agreement with your dealer. They placed a custom truck order for you. If/when it gets built, you can buy it. The other trucks on the lot have nothing to do with you or your order.

So time of order doesn't matter ? If Hybrid is the constraint why are 3 on the lot ?would people not wait for their rare hybrid? I'm hoping NoVaJimmy's theory is correct and it is people gaming the system but the cynic in me says they would have taken delivery and made the money themselves.
we'll see , thanks again for your replies.

You said you are pro-free market. This is what a free market looks like.

It could affect me if they are using up all their allocation on stock vehicles thus not allowing my order to be built . Also keeping my $1000 deposit.
Stock orders are priority coded in a disadvantageous way when compared to customer orders. Customer orders are code 10 to 19. Stock orders start at 20 and vary to higher numbers sometimes depending on situation. There is no way a stock order was produced over your customer order. It is literally hard-coded. The dealer can't mess with it. Take a look at the window stickers. 99.9% chance they are green, which is customer orders. Blue would be stock. Go check it out for yourself.
