Changing Color on Order

[Bklewis77]

How late can you change the color on a reservation? I have a build date scheduled for 11/11 on Cyber Orange Badlands, but want to change it to Rapid Red. Is it too late?

Pretty sure once you get a VIN nothing gets changed from that point forward

There are tales of people changing the color after the VIN has been issued.

Only way to know for sure in your case is to reach out to your dealer ASAP.

Supposedly people were able to in the past, but post 10/1 ("balance out date"), you can no longer do it for MY21. At least that's what my dealer told me when I asked for the same. Let me know if you hear differently!

I changed my color two days ago (10/22). Sent a text to my sales guy who made the change, and received a follow up email from Ford noting the update.

Was this for a MY21 order that has a VIN?

MY21, no VIN

@Grooticus
You can change your color any time before your window sticker is created, typically around a week before the build date. I successfully changed color in my order after I had a VIN.

Did you do this before or after 10/1? My dealer told me the option to switch colors closed on 10/1.

I did it last summer. I don't know about any Oct 1 deadline. There is a good chance your dealer is wrong. Tell them to try.

My dealer reached out to the Ford regional office and cc’d me, it was the regional office who told us that changes are impossible after the 10/1 “balance out” date. Really unfortunate since I got the scheduling email on 9/30 after Ford had already told me I’d be a MY22. Had made up my mind to change color a month prior, but figured I could do it when I reordered for 22. Guess not

Good news is you'll have it soon.
