Me the night before scheduling......

I texted my dealer to see if any Wildtraks previewed this week and the answer was “No Sorry”. Don’t guess there’s a chance of getting the email without a preview is there?

I don’t really think it matters ..Ford will ramp up production to a much greater speed after its initial 2 week start. They start slow ( get kinks out and pick up greater speed as they go) at that point is when you will see mass emails

no no no...they (granger) had 1 SAS out of their 25 previews

My bad, previewed.

No, preview is essentially 'ready to schedule'.

I have not been informed of that yet no :'( then again other than the week of 3/26 they've been very silent

Yup.

They are "getting the kinks out" with the priority orders. They are also going to give the first run vehicles an extra look-over, before shipping them out. My guess is the "priority orders" will actually be delivered after the vehicles scheduled in the couple weeks following them. This is one reason why I cannot understand why some FE reservation holders are flipping out over their vehicles be scheduled second. The reality is their vehicles aren't the ones being built, while the kinks are being worked out; and they will likely get their trucks sooner than the ones being pushed ahead of them, because of additional QA checks. I seriously doubt you will hear any of them thank Ford for putting the "priority orders" ahead of them, though.

Sadly no. They can look to see if you're in preview specifically. Just give them your order number.

I was previewed this week, so I'm expecting an email Thursday, but won't be surprised if I don't get one.

IIRC, job order 1 starts the first week of May. They'll be working these "kinks" out on dealer demo units for several weeks of full production before the first retail Bronco runs down the line. The priority orders and FEs that get produced starting week of 31 May aren't getting any special treatment other than being produced first.

Same boat,

I was previewed, too! My order is with Grangers! Paid my deposit, reviewed my order for accuracy, provided a photo of my DL and insurance card, and Jay from their Parts Department call so I could order some accessories! So my fingers are crossed for tomorrow! Good luck!

Asking my dealership if I’m previewed? Pshhh...they don’t even know what day of the week it is half of the time.

 

[Happytown]

@Lilj4425 after that photo dump I'd be worried about my data plan throttling emails tomorrow.

So I’ve been off the grid for a while, will we all still get an estimated delivery email at some point in May? Or has that been replaced by the weekly production scheduling emails?

Trying to lay low to control my obsession.

Just so you know... My dealer had a couple vins and build dates pulled yesterday. Lol
