Waiting room

[MHUNTOON]

So far, my emails have read build dates of 4/25, 4/18, 4/11, 4/18, and 4/25. No email this week. Hope that means it's still set for production in two weeks. The order tracker is very hit or miss - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, so I rely on these emails.

Oxford White Outer Banks with 360+ and the tow package.

I've asked my dealer to be on the lookout for anything close to what I ordered at this point. I'll go up to Badlands and/or add the moonroof, premium audio, whatever, just need the tow package and would like the 360+. I'm flexible on colors - originally was going with Area 51, but I really like Cactus Gray as well and my wife likes the Shadow Black. I'm also willing to drive from north-central NC to anywhere within a few hundred miles to make it happen. Heck, I'll be in the Orlando area the week of the 18th, so maybe I'll look around down there. If I had faith that it would be built in a couple of weeks, I'd be patient. Reading this forum, however, has me concerned this thing won't be built until June or July with delivery just before the '23s come out.

I've been pre-approved with my credit union since the start and that expires on 5/4, which means at this point I'm going to need to redo the application anyhow unless I find one on a lot. First world problems, I know, but still. Never expected this when I first began the process.

If the 4/25 week is holding I'd expect a built day email within a week or so when the plant firms up the unit's place in line. Yeah, the Ford tracker is right finicky lately.

Are you saying a week from now or a week after the 25th? I'm just so anxious to get any updates lol

I ordered my BSBB on 1/29 and received a confirmation email on 1/31.

Then received the production email on 2/17 for a build week of 4/25. Received a second production email On 3/4 for a build week of 5/2.

Should I be expecting an email in the next few weeks for a build day? Also what does the delivery time look like once it’s completed to be send to the west coast?

I've seen posts here before that say emails from Ford go out on Thursdays. I've always received mine at exactly 8:15pm on Fridays. If I don't get one at that time, I know I won't hear anything until the following Friday (at the earliest).

Within a week from now. About 2 weeks before the build day it is scheduled to the day, an email is sent out, the window sticker becomes available on or about that time.

The vehicle that I'm hoping to take over after the original orderer cancelled. I'm including the timing dates for those interested as well - this is for Canada.

Thank you! My husband has an obsession - almost 300 Rockies hats.
Dealer was Schomp in Denver.

Expect about 3-4 weeks for delivery. They come out of Mexico by Train. Then get dropped off to be trucked to your dealership. Not a quick process these days. See my signature for my dates.

Got nothing here in the Orlando area and most dealers were marking up 5-10k. You may be able to find a BB. I ordered 1/22 and I am just pissed I wont have my car by summer as I am still waiting to be scheduled.

Got a terrifying "Notice of Adverse Action" in the mail today postmarked as being from my dealership. It was a very obscure notice with nondescript language stating I was declined for my original finance amount and will either be receiving a worse rate or no loan at all. For starters, my credit is excellent and I had no problem strolling up and financing my Big Bend last summer. Secondly, I placed an order for my BL just last month and haven't even dealt with financing yet.
Immediately called my salesman and let him know. He said a bunch of his customers who place orders have gotten them as they're a government requirement whenever a dealership runs your credit and doesn't offer you a loan on the spot. He assured me it won't affect the financing process at all and not to worry about it. Had a bit of a panic moment imagining my dream vehicle being pawned off to the highest bidder because of some error with financing.

Yea that would've gotten my blood pressure up, yikes.

"Up" is an understatement. I Googled the letter immediately after and a lot of other folks are pissed about them too. Can't believe a government mandated letter would be phrased so threateningly when in reality, it doesn't mean anything and doesn't even suggest corrective action - Just tells you to keep an eye on your credit score. That's my monthly heart attack quota met.
