MY24 pushed to MY25

[t88supra]

Well, you have been given the info that the priority can be changed. It is up to you what you do with it.

I will say that sometimes in life to get what you want, you have to push people and that sometimes mean pissing them off by either making them get off their lazy butts or hurting their ego's that they are wrong and to correct it.

Dealer Salesmen are just glorified key retrievers for the test drive and the finance guy secretary for the paperwork setup. 80% of the deal is done by the sales manager and finance. So do not just accept what a salesman says as final or correct because many times it is not.

I would tend to disagree with the opinion on salesmen... I happen to be very informed and between myself and our finance guy, we do 95% of the work, manager does about 1% and our owner RDR's it with Ford. I do know there are some bad apples out there, but believe it or not, some of us know what we are doing and are decent human beings as well as customers ourselves.

True that dealership can change priority on an order?

Yes, we can change the priority code

 

[t88supra]

Yes, we can change the priority code

I would say it used to be 10-19..... but I was even corrected that it has now been altered to where the dealer can go as low as 3 I believe. The lower, the better.

Former Ford sales director who worked their way up. I prided myself on knowing as much as I could about the process and vehicle, and if I didn’t know I’d find out and not make up an answer.
Lots of informed sales people out there, just gotta find them.

Does anyone know of changes and/or price changes?

I heard they’re supposed to announce the 25 later this month? Any validity to that?

I wouldn’t mind a few minor changes but I doubt they’ll do much other than giving a few extra colors, etc. I want to see a 60/40 split for the back seats, ac cooled seats and possibly a sunroof although that’s not my top concern

Yes end of the month they will talk about the 25.. I think its the 26th.

The new Dealer Priority assignments are 3-19, the lower the better from a Dealer Priority perspective, however that means nothing to Ford on their assembly line production

That is not true. It very much means something to Ford, but there are various other factors that impact if it actually gets built.

Dealers can do 9-19. Anything higher the regional needs to set.

End of the month.

Yup, if they don't have an available allocation it's not getting built. My RR order is 03 and only the order is confirmed.

I was told by my sales guy that they had 2 allocations for RRs. Given at the same time.

Most cars/trucks are seeing MSRP increases, given the competition prices, my assumption is MSRP will increase. Curious to see if it does

Trying to get educated on this process. My RR has been on order since September of last year and when I ask my salesman how many they are allocated, I get a long answer without a number. I have no idea on my Priority number but after reading this I will ask.

I get the emails from Ford saying my order has been Confirmed (Step 1 of 4) but nothing further. I seriously doubt it will get built and not sure if this dealer can secure me a '25 spot.

Tried searching the inventory in my state and the ones around me but the few I found wanted 10K ADM which makes my blood pressure rise with the instant depreciation.

Any insight on how to scrutinize my dealer's information is welcomed.

I just canceled my order that’s been in for 100 days because my dealer said that they couldn’t change the priority. I’ve called several dealers and heard from a few folks on here that they can, in fact, change priority code. So, I canceled and found a local raptor at MSRP. Didn’t have mud flaps or a SIBL but the sales guy threw that in for free with purchase. Done and done. Happy now
