Running tally of VIN #, order date and build date by Ranger5G member (2019 MY)

[earsmccoy]

PS: Assuming it was entered thru ROVP (very doubtful), how soon would it show up in Vehicle Tracking?

It can be approved through ROVP but still be dealer stock. Your salesman could have entered the order as a retail order and then got approval through the ROVP. Then, before the order gets submitted to Ford, someone else could have changed it to "Stock" thinking they were helping. This is what has happened to me. The Ranger retail ordering process is different than ordering in the past. Normally, dealer stock gets priority over retail orders so dealership personnel are assuming that if they order their customers orders as "stock", then it will get here faster. I received an email confirmation from my salesman of ROVP approval from Ford. My ordered got processed and I have a VIN and build week but can't track my truck through the VIN tracking website since it was ordered as "stock". As far as the $750 rebate goes, I have my ROVP approval so I will make sure they give me the rebate. It's on them to get it reimbursed by Ford. Have your salesman give you your ROVP tracking number. If he can't come up with it then he probably didn't do the ROVP process. Sorry for the long post!

I just heard from my dealer that my build week is 3/11. Woohoo!

Do you have a VIN?

Edit: Nevermind I saw you do.

Has anyone had issues with the tracking site pulling up their VIN today? My ETA was 10 days, as of yesterday evening. Today it can't find my VIN.

Got an email from my dealer:

Your Ranger has officially started production as of today. Expected final assembly is 2/1/19.

It works for me. Try clearing your internet browser cookies or opening the website in "private browsing" mode.

Mine is not pulling up either. Tried suggestions but still no result.

Yeah, no dice from my work computer, home pc, or phone. Hopefully they just pulled our VINs to update the status?

Working again now. Strangely I might have been right, because it now lists production as having started today.

This is what happened to me as well. I was told the regional manager changed it to stock to get the order in faster. I would have really liked to track my vehicle but I will just have to take their word for it .

You don't have to take their word for it, your salesman can track your Ranger through "Vehicle Visibility" in the Ford system. It is basically the same thing as the VIN tracking that everyone else is doing but it can only be done by the dealer. Ask him/her to check your Ranger's status through "vehicle Visibility" and to email you a screen shot or print out of it. That's what my salesman is doing. He is also supposed to email ROVP/Ford and see if there is anyway to switch it to a retail order so I can track it myself. I think he is tired of me bothering him but that's his problem. It wouldn't be an issue if they ordered it right in the first place.

Got a build date finally. 1/31. No change to delivery estimate.

Hey rangerdanger, just saw in a few posts previous you have a build date? And you did get the keypad option on your truck? I ordered one day later than you (9-20-18) with the keypad option so just checking. Think it's time to get a hold of my dealer/salesman Monday and see what's up.
