All these new folks getting pushed into 8/25 week over the last couple day makes me pretty nervous. This is exactly what happened right before 7/19 and they subsequently shut down the plant that week and the next.
Not anymoreā¦. Find a dealer that has allocation and you will need to work your way through whatever their ordering hierarchy is (friends/employees/family/VIP big spenders/off-the-street)
The problem with cutting out the allocation is Govāt fuel economy requirements. Without allocation, everyone would order the high-end product (that are typically relative gas guzzlers). Allocation is the tool manufacturers have to force dealers to order and sell high efficiency/cheaper vehicles...
Find the biggest dealer you can and negotiate an MSRP deal. Small dealers are going to get virtually no allocation. Ford painted everyone into a corner.
This new system incentivizes dealers to screw over reservation holders that havenāt received their builds yet. If you were a dealer that knows your allocation is basically getting zeroed out you are going to do everything possible to maximize profit on the few units you have coming inā¦. Cutting...
I use the rattle cans and they disperse similar to spray paint. The cans come with the little red straws for smaller areas. Iāve heard about cutting with wd-40, but I donāt mind it the way it is.
I use fluid film on everything that is prone to rust and it has been awesome. Living in this part of WI the climate is conducive to rust and road salt contributes heavily to the problem. I will definitely check out the CRC product though.
I guess I am in this group now.. dealer just got their first mannequin and I asked for an update. 4th build date (and I know Iām lucky to only have 4)
