New 2023MY order banks are open!?!?

[Korbin]

I just got a call from my local Ford dealer of which I was on a waiting list for when the orders open. He told me that Ford had opened the new orders and that he had put my order in. Any one else get the good news from their dealers?

"My dealer said .."

Let us know when you get the order confirmation email from Ford. They aren't even supposed to evaluate the order banks and capacity until late Q4.

I too got the call, but there is a little issue with the lux package not being able to select.

I was told by my dealer that they too were having issues selecting certain options.

This is intentional. At the moment, Ford isn't taking orders that are difficult to source parts for. They have enough orders like that on the books already.

My dealer also called me with that info and I told him the order banks weren’t open to new orders. He said they were, gave him my order anyway and he called back within 15 minutes saying the “system” wouldn’t let him place the order due to constraints on a part. He still wouldn’t admit he was wrong and called a regional Ford rep to find out why. The rep told him no new orders at this time and they are reevaluating in Q4.

So from what I’ve experienced everyone on this forum has been right and no new orders is indeed what is happening. Bummer so many dealers are that unaware of what is going on.

I have an order though that I just need to convert to a 23. It technically was converted, but sas was dropped in the process. My salesman said this was happening to all orders. Thoughts?

I don't think it has happened to all orders but several on here have posted that Squatch got dropped in the conversion process. Thus the importance of being proactive and verifying your order as well as your priority code and pushing the dealer to process COVP.

There seems to be some truth to that. A few people who tried to place a brand new order for MY23 reported that their salesrep received a parts constraint error when trying to submit the order. Seems Ford may have built in a safety mechanism or glitch into WBDO to prevent the new orders from being accepted.

I had intentionally set my priority code to 99 when it got close to the 23 change over. Maybe that did it. I am not too worried, as I was going to keep 99 priority until probably November. Want to get through a few expenses first without the Bronco surprise.
