I just noticed thereās a gap of 10 days between when the order was placed and when it was received and confirmed by Ford. I suspect my dealer held all orders until the 3/19 cut off date for allocations and submitted them all at once.
Granted, my confirmation email did come from Ford on 3/19...
I made several changes to my order, including switching to a soft top as recently as 2 weeks ago. My order date hasnāt changed at all. Even when I got the VIN and order scheduled last week, the system still shows my original order date.
You ordered, but the dealer did not. Ford didnāt know about your vehicle until June 4. Your order date reflects the date that the order is actually placed with Ford.
You didnāt lose out on anything. As someone else mentioned, you just missed the freak chance of your build going through in...
Why are there separate part numbers for hard and soft top door bags if the hard top already comes with the panel bags?
87D clearly says 4 door soft top with 4 bags. 87E says it includes 87D and adds the hard top panel bags. But this thread is saying panel bags are included free.
See? Thereās...
Thereās been back and forth on this. There appears to be some combo of hard top and X Y or Z where they came free. Several people on the forums stated they came with their orders, while others didnāt. My dealer told me the hard top included it on some of the orders they sold too. Just another...
At the least @Ford Motor Company should absolutely allow dealers to order both the 4 bag and 6 bag on-vehicle storage kits. Makes no sense to only offer garage bags via the dealer.
Maybe just MAAAAAYBE the hard top prep kit includes the bags too then? I donāt think anyoneās received the soft tops with the prep kit yet, since they were scheduled for first week of sept builds at the earliest. Wishful thinking, Iām sure, but it makes no sense to include door bags on hard top...
I literally am in the same boat. Changed to soft top, scheduled 2 days later, found out the following day that the bags werenāt included and my dealer canāt do anything about it.
No idea why they would come with the hard top and not the soft top. The soft top even has its own kit that doesnāt...
I thought the issues with the roof rack not being available on certain models / options was already determined to be related to GVWR limits? If Ford allows you to officially add it to your vehicle builds then they have to include load limits into their calcs. These vehicles are heavy and on the...
How does that work? Do they just get bumped to a Badlands then?
Usually with editions like this, the company makes that number whether or not all orders fulfill. They will just go to dealers to mark up like crazy
I wonder how many MY21 builds there will end up being. The FE might be the least limited of this year, lol. Maybe the rarity of a MY21 build will increase the value of the vehicle over time.
That said, I am curious how fast Webasto can churn the new MICs and if itāll be fast enough to handle the backlog before MY22 kicks off. Would be a nice win for Ford if they can jump into MY22 with a fairly clean slate and much less commodity restraints.
They pretty much scheduled out the rest of the MY21 build year over the past couple weeks and pushed a lot of soft tops through. They will build MIC tops for recalls, dirt mountain, and FEs to clear out back logs before moving into MY22 in November. I donāt think weāre going to see many new...
