Cannot License New RR from Out-of-State Dealer.

[Ranger43931]

Same. I’m in Seattle, bought RR from a Minnesota dealer last June and drove home. Had mn temp tags and a week later got everything I needed in mail from MN dealer. Had no issues at registration in WA.

Some misinformation in this topic. Owner of the dealership is off golfing or counting his gold collection, not waiting for angry customers to call him. Common for MSO to not be on site, especially in larger dealerships. Paid cash for a new Indian last month and didn’t receive MSO until last week.
Also many states won’t accept digital titles or MSO.
Colorado dealer gave you a 60 day temp tag no?

Just picked up my new 2025 RR in Colorado. Drove it home to Washington State. Great trip. Next day went to WA Dept of Licensing to pay vehicle taxes, registration, and Title. DOL said I needed a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) from Ford/Dealer. Contacted CO dealer who took several days to reply. Said "it would take 2-3 weeks". What? This is a one-page document that should be readily available and transmissible electronically. In other words... "immediate". I was told only one person in the back office does this and no-one-else seems to know anything about it. Very frustrating. Will follow-up and report progress. Meanwhile... Heads-up!

Hold on here!

Like the color! I have a white 2024 licensed in Co bought in Wyo. went thru similar problems. In Co they normally don’t convert MSO to a title unless dealer has to b/c of their floor plan OR it was a demo. Once converted to title you cannot get another MSO from Ford. Washington should speak to DMV in Co so they can explain this. In my case CO lost MSO when mailed back to WYO. AND FOMOCO reissued MSO in 2-3 weeks as I remember. Sure ruins the new car smell!
I’d be in the middle of the WA DMV office IF the title was reassigned to you. Plain and simple there. My two cents!

Back again just re read your post! I’d be in the middle of the Dealers stuff in CO. They have the MSO or it’s being held by their bank as collateral. Or lost? If lost they can request a reissue from Ford. 2-3 weeks.

I’d call FORD customer service and file a dealer complaint. +1 (800) 392-3673 And/Or call the Co Attorneys General consumer complaint division.
(720) 508-6000.
