Production Week Scheduling

[MuddyBoots]

Can anyone share insight on my situation?

-Ordered BL/BL with tow 12/12
-I have a VIN and it shows my last name, too
-no production date or emails from Ford?

I would call your dealer and ask him to run a vehicle visibility report. The dealers have much more up to date information than the public facing info we see.

I’m not a Ford employee either. Blue Oval forums and ice-capades, in particular, posts some really interesting and valuable insights into Ford production and scheduling. Ford will start assigning build dates on Thursday and will refine the build schedule over the next several weeks. So, if everything goes according to plan, folks will start getting build dates around the end of this week.

Fingers crossed!

Hope you all have better results than I have had. Ordered BL+BL in Sept. Original build date was Feb. 22. Every week or so since yesterdays message from ford has move my build date out 3 week to March 15. Getting close to pulling the plug.

Did you check Ford's order tracking site? It's possible they didn't put in your email or typed it in wrong. On another note looks like you are just up the road from me. I am down in Havertown.

Same situation-I think it may be that the dealer, when ordering, didn't associate your email with the order as well.

I would check your account on ford.com and make sure your email is correct. If you have a VIN then you have been given a production week to my understanding. My schedule email came from [email protected]-ford.com so also check your junk mail.

I ordered 8/13, received the scheduled for production email on 11/19 and haven't heard anything since. They are not the most communicative but my dealer has been great at answering all my questions.

So just to make sure I understand the production week scheduling. If I did not get an email with a VIN this week then I can expect a production week after the last one shown in the image correct?

Did you get any email about production from Ford? Even one without a VIN?

I ordered an OB + OB on the 15th through my dealer and I’ve received absolutely nothing.

I didn't either, initially. Then I visited the dealer, who showed me that a VIN, associated with my name, was produced. Touch base with your sales person, and they may be able to do the same.

Here's the latest:

I've also added this to the first post, which I will try to keep updated with the current information.

What does cleanup scheduling mean? Does that mean I shouldn’t expect to get a build date from Ford this week?

This is ice-capades' answer when someone asked them the same question at the Blue Oval Forum:

"Cleanup Scheduling is the attempt to schedule a dealership's unscheduled allocation due to commodity issues or other factors."

So I would think there's still a chance you could get a build date this week.

One of the moderators (ice-capades) over at Blue Oval Forums is posting production scheduling updates every week, so I thought I would start a thread to post them over here as well, as I think many of us will find it useful.

Just FYI to everyone, I don't have any additional information, I am not an employee of Ford, I have just been watching that thread on the other forum and want to share it over here as well.

So here's the latest:

I have a cactus grey Big Bend with the optional Big Bend package that was built January 11th and should be to Varsity Ford in AA Michigan the week of 2/13/21, that I'm not taking.
The dealer will still get it.
I don't know whether they have lined up a buyer for it yet.
Anyone in the area looking for a quick grab on the vehicle should contact Varsity Ford AA.

Ah this is interesting, thank you. My August order had an original schedule for week of Feb 22, but got moved to Mar 1.

So according to the graphic from BlueOval, I should find out this week if I get pushed out again or if my Mar 1 build holds.

Ditto here. August order after online Ford reservation. Email in early Jan said week of Feb 22. No comms from Ford yet re: Mar 1

For what it’s worth, received an email from Ford last week saying my August order was now an April build.
