Akins?

Yes, Akins.

I placed a second order at Akins last week as well (sorry Granger) but a 2.3 4d BL lux with SAS. Constraints must have had me skipped.

That just stirs the pot, dude, not give hope.

I don’t agree. Would you rather me, or someone else on this forum, get a Bronco without the known constraints or let the dealer get another allocated build that they are going to add ADM to?

If you have a VIN you have a date. You just haven’t talked to the right person

One more indication of how much of a mess this is. Imagine if they just had a normal web page to check for updates that consistently worked, instead of only sometimes and only for some subset of order holders.

Well, now you're just talking nonsense!

Well I tried the Ford chat. Seems to work quite well. They were able to pull up my order. Just showed in processing state on their side. No vin. But at least it’s a good spot to check on Fridays if you don’t get an email or call from dealer.

I thought I would give the Chat a try today for the first time and low and behold, although I have not got any emails and nothing showing in the back door link, I did get a VIN and schedule date for April 25th from the Ford chat.

BTW I dropped the tow package and that seems to be what got me in...or luck..

This link talks about chat but nowhere is there a link to actually get started.

I switched browsers and the button to start chatting showed up. Chrome to Firefox.

So nothing from Ford and nothing on the backdoor page but I am officially scheduled per my dealer for build week of 4/25. He sent me a screen cap, it just registered this morning. I'm going to celebrate tonight with a very large Titos and lemonade! Plate is ready.

7/14/2020 A.M. Reservation, 2DR Badlands, 2.7L, non-sas, lux, tow package

Did you add factory Tow Package to your WT order? And/or did you switch to a soft top for MY2022?

I agree that Ford's changes to its dealer allocation formula have made reservation timestamp much less of a factor. But based on those on this forum who dropped the tow package and quickly got build dates, I am convinced that the tow package is the main constraint holding up many of our orders. MIC constraints is also an obvious reason. But I'm not going to compromise and have a 4-pin hitch added after delivery or switch to a limp/soft top.

Not too sure on the tow package as I dropped it a month ago and still no production date for my mid day 7/14/20 reservation

I think maybe more luck but good for you! Dropped tow a month ago and still nothing....

And that date isn't etched into stone either-I'm on my third delay and three weeks after the first one...

I’m on my 6th date

The chat is a lot easier than calling, but the bad news for me was the same.

No VIN.

Reserved 7/15/2020

My understanding is that everyone, reservation holder or non-reservation holder, is supposed to receive the email. Keep in mind, many people don’t see another email after the order confirmation email.
I believe it won’t show up in our Ford account until we have a VIN and add the vin ourselves to our account.
In other words, we are completely in the dark without our salesman. Lol

*Edit-Excuse me if I’m wrong! This is just what I’ve gathered by reading other posts on this forum.

You might check with Ford CS to see they have the correct e-mail ... also check with your dealer to make sure they have configured their system to send you an e-mail (not just them).
