Waiting room

[69cuda340s]

yeah if it was built and 'shipped' with an ETA Oct 31 it must be waiting on additional chips.

At least they are not storing them in the Mexican desert.

I don't know...have you seen a desert car vs one from the rust belt?

Water spot stains baked into paint? Strange critters try to make new home? Who knows but its nothing positive.

Stinks that all the Badlands orders are so backed up. I’m betting people see some relief by the end of summer though. 10/31 just seems like too random of a date to pick for completion. Good luck!

My BL+BL order was accepted on 2/22 and I haven’t even received a 10/31 delivery date. Where does that leave me? Oh, I know. Up a creek without a paddle.

I don't know who is more useless Ford marketing or the dealer I can't get a straight answer from Marketing, and no return calls from the dealer. Seriously thinking it's time to move on. Although I haven't waited as long as others, the lack of communication is terrible. I keep letting other options slip by as they dangle the carrot in from of me with some glimpse hope at times.

Personal suggestion, try moving up the food chain...I feel for you it's rough not having a clue. It led to my frustrations but in the end the dealer was right. If you can wait it's worth it...if not, that's unfortunate. You've made it this far. Even October isn't THAT far off. Gotta do what you gotta do though

Tons of Kia/Hyundai options I've heard?

I just joined here the other day and its making me wish I ordered a BS months back. I'm placing an order either today or tomorrow for either a BB with the BB package or a plain OB, both with the Copilot 360 and in Area 51, all depending on which will be easier to get ahold of.

Is there a consensus of what options/trims will cause issues? I know you can't a moonroof right now (not a big deal to me) and Badlands are long sold out. My preference is for the OB.

If you want a badlands in area 51 I have one on order making it's way to Rochester hills. Tow package, cargo management, bigger tires. I can give you the dealer name, it is supposed to arrive by July 14 but will most likely be there sooner for what it's worth. Otherwise this "late" in the game if you can't find one on a dealer lot, order the 22 badlands as soon as it's possible.

I'm going to talk with my sales lady more about it, I know theres some BBs and OBs near me equipped either without what I want or with what I don't want but if it comes down to it I am willing to compromise on some things like color and the Copilot 360. I was just looking into ordering because I have a bit of time and that way I could get closer to what I want (plus that $1k order rebate is nice). I knew about the delays and whatnot but I didn't anticipate it'd be like this, so I'm going to keep my alternatives closer in mind. Thank you both! I'll post what ends up happening.

Is this the module that we are waiting on? Maybe they should check more often to see if they have it, it's been a while.

Absolutely bizarre. I was coming to post that I found out this is the one I am waiting for. Spoke to my dealer, and while my delivery date is currently holding, it is waiting on a chip and has a red flag in their system.

I found another Badlands in a inventory look up. I checked the VIN and it shows this RCM (Restraint Control Module) is installed. So, I think it is safe to say we are waiting for this chip to get installed.

My understanding you WANT the RCM to show null, it means it's working. Swear I saw that posted somewhere.

*The RCM stores the number of times the vehicle has been in a collision. "Null" is Good!

While it stores that info I don't think the module is installed yet. I think that is what is tracked on etis

Yeah, not sure now about pti information.... This image is from a vehicle for sale on the ford dealers lot, showing a missing Headlight control Module taken today.
