26:30ish he talks about 101a and 501a aren't being scheduled...

This is ~2 weeks ago, so take that with a grain of salt.

I've heard one person say their dealership told them that COVP didn't matter, but we've heard Tim Bartz say it does. And I have my own experience with it. I made one order with a dealership without COVP. I get updates from ford about that order not moving forward and still haven't got a build week notice. The dealership put in my order, but never did COVP. My other order the dealership made me do COVP, and that is the XLT that I got a build week of 10/17 for, and then moved to 10/24. So, if a dealer made a order for someone, and didn't submit everything required for a COVP until a month later, then even if the order was placed before others, the build week will be put in order that COVP was completed.

I didn't do one that I know of when I placed my order 6 Oct. so I contacted my sales guy on this, he stated the COVP was not needed for my order. Wonder if that is because it is not a Bronco, Lightening, or Maverick? Don't know what to think now.

Here is when my order became verified and Ford then knew they were building a truck for a real Robert, and not just a fake Robert the dealership used to get a ranger in stock to sale at a marked up price. That's why Ford put in place the COVP process.

I don't know.
All I know is the one order I didn't do COVP didn't move forward.
I got the email from Ford that the order was placed, but I still haven't gotten a build week. The other order with a different dealership made me do COVP and I have a build week for it.

Did anyone who is scheduled next week get a window sticker today?

(I didn't)

I saw somewhere 7-14 days pre build date and they're published...

Not that it matters, it just reinforces the dealer got my order input properly and it identifies how it's coming to Florida etc...

From all I've learned in this ordering process about how the trucks come together from ordering, to scheduling, to part allocations... Any of y'all in manufacturing management are wizards to me.


Edit: I also just realized the image in the emails is the front camera on the full-size trucks... I gotta say I was this truck got one from the factory...

On my ‘22 my window sticker was available the Saturday prior to my build week/date.

I can't believe same speced 2023 Lariat MSRP is more than my out the door price of my 2019 new with a lot of deletes.

I can't believe I regret being responsible and not buying a truck in the beginning of the pandemic when truck prices were through the floor... But alas, I do.

Bought it well before the pandemic. Would've got a lot cheaper if I waited towards end of 2019.

I'm kinda in a similar place. I started considering it towards the end of 2019, then, well, things happened.
