The dealer sets priority code. The codes are 19 thru 10 for retail orders. 10 being highest priority. Ford sets priority 2 for vehicles being considered for production schedule.

Some dealers set all to 19, some to all 10, others in calendar order, monthly order, whatever sequence the particular dealer chooses.

Big-T is correct. I was a priority 2, from 7/13/2021 until today, when I received my scheduled for production email (week of 2/28). Priority only matters within a specific dealer, for orders that don't have production restraints.

19 from a dealer fine as long as they assign every or a 19. This way the are filled in the order received for like orders.

I’ve been priority 2 for months makes no difference

That's what you have to do to get it changed,Everyone that orders through Ford's Webdo gets priority 19 by default so you have to get your dealer on the right page. Although it really doesn't seem to have any effect on getting scheduled for production it's the luck of the draw

Do you have any wool? If so, your dealer is pulling it over your eyes! The DEALER sets the priority code. Most of the time, when you place an order with your dealer and the dealer Don't Enter a priority code, then the system will set it at 80. Your dealer can go into the ordering system an set the priority code, it needs to be between 10-19 for your order to be pulled for production. I had my priority code updated from 19 to 10 and my order was pulled the next day for production.

I would not worry about it because if your build does not have any restraints, you should receive a quicker build.

Stock orders default to 80. Retail orders default to 19.

That does seem to be the more important factor.

Correct - But, if your dealer is not paying attention, they can enter an order as Stock, when it is a Retail order. This site is Full of Members who placed an order and had a priority code of 80-stock, when it was a retail order and then posted "why hasn't my order been selected for production". It's up to the person placing the order to Make Sure they have a Retail Order with a priority code of 10-19.

10-19 really doesn't matter.

10-19 really doesn't matter.

My original order was a XLT luxury package 2T with a Priority 10 code. After I removed the luxury package my code was changed by the dealer to 17, and I received a build date yesterday.
