When is DORA available and should I change my order?

[APD]

When I ordered in september, I left the dealership with only the "order preview" sheet, that has the sales code and order code on it.
I did not know about DORA at the time, is it available immediately after placing order, or does ford have to schedule the build first? When in the timeline is it available?

I noticed one line on the order preview sheet says: "PRICED DORA $0"
I have received the 45 day emails so ford is acknowledging an order.

Second question: Its a hybrid XLT with trailer hitch, full size spare, & sliding window. I didn't order the SIBL because of last years constraint. Seems like lots of people are getting SIBL and no longer a constraint. I'm also considering adding Copilot 360 which doesn't seem to be a constraint either. Will making changes slow down the process or not change anything?

Changes will only slow down things if you do on a Thursday between 2 and 4 pm and there is snow on the ground ..... Truthfully no one knows what will or will not speed up or slow down an order with Ford Im not sure even anyone at Ford knows .......

You're likely right. That's been my attitude as well, but I guess I just was wondering out loud to the internet.

The DORA should be available to the dealer shortly after submitting the order in WBDO (I've never tracked the timing....but probably the next day after the order is submitted?)

The hitch is still highly constrained. That (plus being a hybrid) will be your biggest obstacle to scheduling. Removing the hitch could speed up the process for you.

My dealer usually sent my DORAs 2-3 days after I changed my order.
