This is from a thread earlier today with a guy ordering from Military Auto Source, a company that sells vehicles to deployed service members. They order directly from manufacturers in a process that is outside the normal dealer systems, Iā€™m not 100% on how it works but they donā€™t go through the same WBDO that Ford US dealers do. I attempted to order through them about 8 months ago when I was overseas, but decided to save money and go through Granger. They have a certain number of allocations for the whole company/MAS system they use, that have nothing to do with other dealer allocations. There is a huge chance that whatever internal system this MAS printout is from either has in accurate data, they ran out of their specific allocations (for only let them order X units of 2.7 for 2021), or some other reason. I highly doubt this affects everyone else, we would know about it by now. The 2.7 hugely affects F150 production as well.
Thanks for the info. I certainly hope youā€™re right and this is just for that and not system wide. Guess we will find out soon enough.

Looking for rationale here. Maybe it just says that on a new order because they know theyā€™re going to use them all with the existing orders they have. No chance to sneak a base soft top 2.7 in at the end of the line at this point.

Well..... @PREMiERdrum did say the wheels might actually be about to fall off... Or something like that... Then hasn't been back. Who's good at reading things that are unsaid?! Lol

ā€Hereā€™s a great idea. Let me put out an instagram hinting the manual trans with the 2.7 is a go to the masses, right before we announce we have no more 2.7 motorsā€. Levine, Ford exec.
Thank goodness the front license plate bracket is still doable.
