Some didn’t get that email. Link is in the first post of this thread:I don't really have a way to post it easily, but if you got the "It's time

Well I received an email from ford saying my order was updated. I’m going to call the dealer and try and get the order change paperwork.So, I still am not getting anywhere with my dealer, also when I went to talk to them the manager was out and my sales person told me he would email the 23 confirmation sheet which he did. A couple of things were incorrect. I called him to correct my order but either none of them are informed of the order process or they may be trying to pull a fast one.
I emailed a couple of links to him that would explain the process and I’ll call or go there soon to ask again for confirmation of my order.
I think you understand the process perfectlyIf I understand the process, the dealers only get so many trucks to sell (allocation process), so they lose money on every pending order that gets set for MY 23. This is because every old order that doesn't get converted means that they will still get that truck through their allocation and there are no restraints on what they can add to the MSRP on that truck.
Those of us with these old orders are a financial loss to the dealer since it means it will have to sell us a truck with no additional dealer markup or silly add ons.
They are going to get only so many trucks to sell. They make more money from the new orders.
Hard to imagine that any dealer is going to feel any financial motivation to make the old order process easy.
On the other hand, I may just not understand the situation.
There is absolutely nothing preventing the dealerships from adding on ADM's or other add-ons except their own integrity. We have seen plenty of horror stories here where the buyer walks in only to be greeted with a 5, 10 or 15k ADM on the Bronco they have been waiting on for months or years.Those of us with these old orders are a financial loss to the dealer since it means it will have to sell us a truck with no additional dealer markup or silly add ons.
I disagree. If a dealer doesn't fill all their allocations with rollover orders then they are stuck ordering non-Squatch Big Bend flappy tops for dealer stock. I would think an optioned up OBX, BL or WT that is price protected from 2 years ago would have about the same amount of profit and hold back in it compared to a current model year Big Bend. Yes, they can sell a few of those at a premium but the market would soon be saturated with less desirable lower trims and quickly level off.Hard to imagine that any dealer is going to feel any financial motivation to make the old order process easy.
I had ford confirm my order and an email confirming a correction my dealer had made.This may have been covered. I contacted my dealer by e-mail. He sent a new preview order, carrying over from 22 with all the options, etc. I signed and dated the order and faxed it back with my driver's license as I had for the original 22 order. I'm I good? Haven't had a response from FORD confirming anything.
Congrats. It seems that the HE builds are finally getting processed and the emails going out. However, Ford hasn't really figured out the under promise and over deliver thing yet, they are on the complete opposite side of the spectrum, so don't be shocked when the first HE doesn't show up until late Q3.I really hope that these start getting delivered near the beginning of Q2 2023 and not the end, but I'm not holding my breath.
I think that was one dealers liberal interpretation of the Ford FAQ's and has yet to be confirmed by Ford or anyone else. Per the FAQ, additional PP info is still forthcoming so don't think anyone can accurately answer how PP is going to work on the HE or if trim changes will truly be covered.If the last announcement of PP going back to date of order and the ability to move trims and still get PP from original date
