When I spoke with Ford, they said the dealer order will not reflect on your Ford account. Once you get a vin, you can add it to your account. The two do not match up.
I placed my order on 2/1/2022 4dr Carbonized Grey, Bad Lands, 10spd, mid package thats it. My dealer priority was 11. I was told 12 to 18 months from Cornerstone Ford in Elk River, MN.
Technology has changed a bit for painting in the last 10 years. Id let the dealer take care of it. Then if something goes wrong down the road you can place blame on them. If you do it yourself, and it rusts or something happens. Its on you.
I selected the standard package, but changed my mind to the mid one. Heated seats, dual zone ac is worth it. Don't really care about the other features. Just my thoughts.
It's a great idea. I have a jack stand for when I working on my motorcycle. This would be something similar. I'd say go for it. I am also waiting on a bronco.
I think with time they will. I have asked this question many times too. I'm retired from the Army after 20 years of service. My local dealership mentioned they might help me with a military discount. Not through Ford but with them. My salesman was a prior Army too.
Congratulations! I placed mine on the 2/1/2022. My is a Big Bend Carbonized Grey, soft top, 4dr, 2.3, with 10spd. Dealer was like , it's probably going to be a 2023 one. I hope not, but who knows
They told me a 12 to 18 months and probably will turn into a 23. I said thanks. My order was 4 door, 2.3, big bend, 10 spd, soft top. No other options added. So we will see.
