My friend ordered a new Dodge 3500. it was over 90K an it took so long he was pi$$ed the 2022's came out an his was a 2021. Then it arrived without 3 options he checked but the dealership failed to transfer over from the form he filled out to the online order they do. He refused it an ordered a 2022. Still waiting.My experience with ordering what you want.
My first was a 1983 Mercury Cougar, with every available factory option except a sun roof, trailer hitch, and two tone paint. It was, according to the dealer the first V8. It has throttle-body injection to boot. Took 3 months to get, only to find out the rear brakes were 7 inch drums, and if the weather was cold (I lived in Denver, then), it wouldn't stop when backing up. The alarm quit, the push button entry system failed three times, and the list goes one.
I tried it again in 2003, but the dealer ordered the car twice, and still got it wrong. The first one that arrived after 3 months, was the wrong color! The second one didn't have automatic HVAC, even though it was on "my" copy of the build invoice.
If Ford doesn't do any better these days, perhaps they should transfer their EU VP, and let him try to straighten thing up!
Until then, nada for me!
