there is a lot of impolse buying out there. I bet it adds up to 75% of the dealer sales. If your only option is to order a car its going to stop this impulse buying for new cars. Plus what happens if your car is totaled or dies, etc? your stuck weighting for an order or buying used?
I like how it says "For all offers, take new retail delivery from an authorized Ford Dealer’s stock by 9/30/21. See dealer for qualifications and complete details.".
I am special ordering because they don't have it in stock, and If you order one today your not going to have it by 9/30.

I read that link, thanks. But I take it that once your order is excepted by ford, that "scheduled for week build" will apply. Looking at the page you linked to, if your ranger order was accepted on week of 6/21, it would be scheduled for week of 8/2, 8/9 or 8/16.
in fact my order was...
that link I put out came from ford dealer site. they even use it to list used fords. I already gave my dealer my 2018 trade and they showed a windows sticker from that link I posted.
they already sold my trade, and my truck is not built yet :) I figured by the time the truck gets here the...
I had my vin within a couple days of the order. the 800 number people gave it to me.
and the people who answer this number have more data than they let on to you. One lady I seem to hit 50% of the time told me all about my build dates, etc, others say all they can see is the fact I ordered the...
thanks everyone. I have 4 choices
get the perimeter alarm add-on which also adds remote start using my original fob $276.11 installed
by the ford extended remote and carry 2 remote controls :( $110 installed
Go aftermarket, starts around $100 bucks.
Use the phone.
I ordered my ranger mid June, than later decided that It would be real nice to have the remote start on the key fob. (yes I know about the phone app) (yes I know about the aftermarket remote start systems)
I have been told that they can not change my order without affecting the delivery date...
My build date just moved from Thursday 8/19 to Saturday 8/21.
But people who work on the bronco line (on another forum) were reporting (back in May) the plant was running 2 shifts per day - 5 days per week.
I guess they are adding weekend work?
I actualy ordered it on line on ford.com, picked my dealer and ford sent the order to my dealer..
Than dealer had me verify the order was correct. Next they filled out some paperwork for ford, I had to sign an agreement and it was done.
:) it turns out that is a canned pictures as they have the exact same truck sitting in front that same train car "due any day" at a dealer in central FL.
the dealer needs to fill out special paperwork to prove your order is linked to a signed deal in order to qualify for the $1000 special order rebate. That paperwork delayed my order time by 7 days. I don't expect that paperwork's was that hard to fill out, but they needed me to sign a buyers...
mine has a scheduled date on the line of 8/16 AM. I guess our trucks might be related.
the big difference is I ordered 6/21 :).
First I was calling the toll free number from the ford website. With with my order number and my VIN I was able to get some info. I keep hitting on the same lady...
I saw one at the local dealer when I drove past on the way to Lowes last night. I was wondering whey they had a ridgeline up on this platform, turns out it was not a ridgeline
I posted something about : (not a fact, but was I was trying to think like a Ford Bean counter would)
But the bean counter would say "since nothing is changing on the 2022 rangers, lets just convert all the dealer stock orders to model year 2022, start building them 9/1/21 and charge $2000 more...
I ordered online at ford.com on 6/14, but by the time dealer processed paperwork, ordered truck and it was accepted by ford is was 6/21.
I was given a build date of "week of 8/16".
dealer told me 2 days ago its now scheduled to hit assembly line 8/19 in AM.
I did notice when I first ordered...
I can give you some real data for ordering one.

We had a high end escape get nailed that bad a couple years ago. They fixed it with painless dent repair Fixed in 3 days time. When we sold it the dealer checked history but did not say anything to us. Hail damage is not as bad as crash damage in vehicle history I guess.
