They were all BB, and I ordered BL, so I'm sure I'll be waiting forever, mentally thrashing about trying to understand an opaque, frustrating system. I'll probably reach out to the dealership tomorrow after all the week's scheduling data is out so I can hopefully get something resembling details on where things stand.
Probably not often enough. I always trust it’s on the go & check in on occasion, but I probably need to start bugging him a little more.
I pester mine once a month or so. 125 days since order for me. ?
Do you have data on what the holdup is? Did you get the premium package?
You’re about like me, both for order time & pestering. Ordered 11/6.
Yes. BS BL + PP and CoPilot Assist+. So all the chips and there was a brief hold on the 2.0L engines, though that appears to be over at the moment.
The video early in the thread said PP was a major problem. I just have CMS and Assist+ so hopefully I can get scheduled with minimum delays. My dealer is holding out hope for May, but we'll see.
Read that too on one of the various threads here. Pending day, time, thread, have read a hold up could be due to any of these: Badland, 2.0L, Moonroof, Premium Package, Trailer Tow (chip involved with stability control?), Ford CO-PILOT 360 ASSIST +\
You are correct. The dealers do use the phrase "360" or "360+".
I ordered my Badlands at the end of October. Arrived at the dealer a week ago. No premium or 360+, but included tow and cargo management. At the time, I was told 360+ was a constraint. Based on what I’ve witnessed in the chip world, it’s not an all or nothing thing. Batches get released and distributed. They use what they can and try to build complete vehicles. The less you have the better your chances. But, I’d say order what you want. Some things are difficult if not impossible or really expensive to add later.
My dealership just got 3 more new vehicles on the Ford.com search with the status of "dealer ordered." 2/3 have Assist+ and at least 1 has the tow package. If they are scheduling stock vehicles with things known or believed to be constraints then Ford isn't operating their priority system as advertised. Granted, these are all BB, so maybe it's just BL that can't have nice things for other reasons.
I wish Ford would give custom orders the option to delay your build until the vehicle can be built 100% as advertised. I understand that many “need” their vehicle because their current one is dying, I get it. If I could, I would gladly give up my build slot to someone that needs this car.
