Has anyone received a VIN and/or build date for a non FE vehicle. I reserved my BB on 7-14-20 and my dealer on 10-24-20 shows neither a VIN or a build date.
Also reserved a BB in July. Crickets.

From this thread it sounds like people with FE's are being contacted by Ford.

My dealer on Tuesday said Ford run schedules on Fridays so I might hear something on Monday. I don't know if he means they schedule for the next week on Friday's or for the next month on Friday.

I guess it will happen when it happens.........
Just checking, you say you reserved on 7/14. When was it converted to an order?

Badlands in Alto Blue, but no cargo management system. Converted 7/20. Email from Ford gave a build week of 11/16. Dealer expecting 4-5 weeks later for delivery but no promises.

My dealer hasn't contacted me with a VIN but Ford emailed me with a build date on my Big Bend for the week of 12/14. I have seen in another group several people getting Big Bends built in November.
Nice!!!

what is your order date?

i had a reservation but i wanted to switch dealerships so i mistakenly cancelled my reservation to make another with the new dealership to find out reservations were closed :/ (huge bummer) couldn’t resolve the issue with ford so now i just have to put in an order through the dealer. An associate form the new dealership mentioned delivery of my order could come late January / early Feb but wouldn’t get an accurate eta until next week. idk how accurate that information is but this is from Gosch Ford Hemet, CA

Oh no! I’m so sorry! I thought about changing dealers and I’m glad I didn’t because reservations closed 2 days after. But if you can do a straight initial order —not having a reservation—and it shows up Dec-Jan, that seems really good!

i had found out i couldn’t make another reservation that morning and the whole day (even till now haha) i was super bummed. made calls to ford and the dealer but was never able to reverse the cancellation. all in all, i’m still excited to get mine whenever it comes. i still need to finalize my configuration with the dealership so we haven’t even placed an order yet, hoping that january eta i was told about still pulls through fingers crossed. the associate said their dealer didn’t get that many orders so i’m just hoping i won’t be waiting too long, i want to hit some trails this winter!

I reserved on 7/14 and ordered it on 7/22. I have seen people who ordered their big bend after me get dates in November. The only consistent thing I saw on those is they ordered the tow package and I did not.

My dealer (in SC)actually ordered mine twice by accident. So I have 2 confirmed order dates from Ford, one for 7/21 and one for 8/21. He said which ever comes in first is mine. Still have not heard or gotten anything about my production date schedule. ?

I'm beginning to think the Cargo Management System on my BL+BL is going to end up delaying things...haven't heard anything about VIN or build date yet
