Fordauthority reported that BS takes 17 days to turn, so everything produced is sold in less than 3 weeks. There's no old inventory on lots. The tight constraints right now keep built and sold pretty close to parity.
Crap, if that was the case, I’d have my 2 door Bronco a year or more ago and probably not my Badlands Sport.
True but since vehicles are often built in one month and delivered the next production delays in one month can skew sales numbers the next month
The wait isn't fun...but it is worth it!!
I’ve heard a couple different wait times from dealerships, what seems to be the current state? Or maybe there’s no pattern and it’s just chaotic?
It varies, our BSBL took 4 mos from order to delivery. Others seem a month or so longer. Some a month shorter. I've told several people once you get the shipped email is the worst.
I've got the ADHD turned up to 11 on this trying to discern something about it, mostly to no avail. My dealership just told me 2 months just to get scheduled for production but offered no explanation.
I received a confirmation on 2/24 and nothing since! When I put in the order, I was told by my dealer it'd be 3-4 months total (OB, with only 360+ add on). I've been a bit bummed not to have received any production schedule date but, after reading this forum, realized I'm not alone!
I will hopefully get some kind of email from my dealership today or tomorrow saying that the process has begun. Fingers crossed and I will post here when/if I do.
This post on the Blue Oval forums gives a good breakdown of how Ford does business. It needs to be updated to reflect the changes caused by the new requirement to verify all retail orders, but it's still a decent primer on the maze that is the line into a production factory.
You should get an email from Ford confirming your order as soon as your dealership submits the order in the ordering system. My salesman put the order in right away and I received the confirmation email before I'd even finished wandering around the parking lot.
Thanks for the information. I think that since I placed the order on a Saturday and they have some kind of "order specialist" at the dealership, that I will get the order confirmation soon. I don't know if that person was working on Saturday or not.
