Originally had a fully loaded Wildtrak ordered ( lux, towing, etc.). After all the waiting, ordered one from a local dealer @ MSRP in Jan 2022. Took delivery on May 20, 2022. Absolutely love it. When the time came to update orders for '23, took a chance and changed my order to a HE. I was floored today when I got this email.

Auto or stick? how far down the wait list were you? I've got HE 2.7 auto ordered, just wondering how close I got?

With this round of scheduling it seems like when you reserved doesn't matter nearly as much as what you reserved/ordered.
Ain't that how its always been? The difference now is that Granger is actually getting their share, so we have enough data to see the patterns.

You take care of the taxes. Be aware, because of the discounted price, my state audited mine and asked for additional paperwork. The downside of such a good price from Granger.

I didn’t tried the trade route on the Sport, but will be with the full size.
Thats crazy they audited your purchase. At least they only asked for additional paperwork and not additional $$$.

Are you saying it took 70+ days after it shipped or 70+ days after it was built?
On of the guys in the 8/8 build week still doesn't have his Bronco. No holds, it's just been stuck in a rail yard for the past 4 months.

Normally this means it’s waiting on parts/chips/ or some type of recall as they can’t release until that is corrected.

Considering it was several thousand dollars below MSRP and most are/ were selling for several thousands above, it seemed reasonable.

I'll be bringing mine to Wisconsin too. Is there anything you suggest I do now or during the purchasing process in case I'm also audited?

Manual Trans and I was near the end of the waitlist. In the 400s.

After seeing how the Badlands optional wheels were scheduled for that item and now you can't even change an order to include them, I'm starting to wonder if Ford is just eliminating groups of items to build.

So, I'm thinking they're doing the same with manuals. Schedule, build and clear them all out. What's next?

It's been in the shipping rail yard, not the receiving one. Parts/chip holds are at the factory. It's shown as shipped for over 4 months.

Current theory is it got blocked in at the yard and they forgot about it, and instead of loading FIFO, they loaded LIFO.

Nope, just have to send them your purchase record if they ask. When you title it in your county, you just write in the price you paid. If they think it looks too low, they ask for proof.

Well, at least for the Sport, they held them various places depending on who was doing the fix. The recalls were held at the receiving yards and the chips units were sent to rot in the desert similar to dirt mountain. Not sure why they would just let it sit in the rail yard except, well, it’s Ford.
