Just got email - bumped by 2 weeks from my 5/25 scheduled build week to now be 6/5 week

Yep. I was bumped from 5/29 build week to 6/5 build week.

HOLLY HELL!

I chatted with Ford Performance yesterday and was told my delivery ETA was April 19-24. And this morning, I was told it was delivered to the dealership.

My salesman is on VAC also.

DAMN IT!

Called the dealership and had them send me some photos

online tracking also updated after it arrived

That sucks - I'm supposed to be 5/29 also - hope I didn't move as well... I'll have to check in with my Ford Rep.

Weird I just checked a semi-backdoor link and see that mine shows scheduled for Production week of 6/2 (from 5/29) - but 6/2 is a Friday.

 

[Raptor911]

6/2 is your build day. I wish ford would fix the wording. Getting a build day is good. Build weeks get pushed all the time but build days don’t move much

so you have a 5/29 build week with a 6/2 build day

Happy and not so happy - Friday build on a holiday week - ugh.

My dealer with my outstanding order has now stopped being wishy washy on price protection and instead made a statement of "I have triple confirmed with both the GSM and GM of the store that there is no price protection on Bronco Raptors."

Is there any Ford internal document reference that I can point them to in order to educate them?

@Alpha1_Silverback shared this with me:

"The dealership does not need to apply for anything. the Price protection is automatic back to dealership. They will recieve this in either dealer statement or parts statement. It can take 60-90 days for this to arrive to the dealership. What I do here at my dealership, is just honor the PP upfront, as I know I will receive it later. This allows the customer (you) to pay less in taxes and gives a better customer experience!

Attached are the communications from FORD to the dealerships."

BTW .. My deaalership already invoiced me and I received PP from the increases noted in the attached PDFs.

Thanks! I forwarded these to them and will be calling the General Sales Manger on Monday to try and work this out. Hopefully they aren't just playing dumb about this, but not having great feeling at present. Really glad I bought a diff Bronco Raptor to tide me over until my order arrived since that purchase was at January pricing before the $10k in increases this year.

Isn't it simply adhering to a signed/executed sales agreement?

When this happens and when your dealer puts in the order at the time before the price increase, then you may have to pay the sticker but FMC pays back the dealer and they pass that along to you (possibly at the time of purchase).

Do you have a signed dealer order and WBDO executed before one or more price increases?

If so, I think I saw somewhere on the forum the documentation on the issue.

That's what I thought based on what I read here, but they seem to be saying it doesn't apply for Raptors.

It was in another person's name originally though I have a signed doc from 1/14 to change it to my specs and name. I also was provided this via email on 1/30 showing it in my name.

If so, I think I saw somewhere on the forum the documentation on the issue.

I am pretty sure the other day I saw a post somewhere where someone noted a specific dealer support line or contact for them to call to get confirmation that the automatic protection will apply for Bronco Raptors.

This made me think of something - When does Ford invoice the dealers? It was on March 14th when I received the email about my order being scheduled. Would that have been when Ford invoiced to the dealer? If so, then their cost for my order would only have only had the Feb $3k increase and not the March 20th or April 10th price increases, since Ford noted they are not re-invoicing for price increases.
