Tried to make a change to my order and my dealer said it’s going to be scheduled.

I made a change last week while I was in the previewing change. Did not get a vin and was told I am in the previewing stage for this week as well.
A couple of questions I didn't ask; once in previewing can you be bumped back out? Or do you remain in previewing until your build is assigned a vin?

Precisely why I opted not to make the change. Too much to risk I like both colors so no harm there and I want the tow package, I was just removing it to speed thing’s up. Hopefully none of it matters and I get a vin this week.
It wouldn't have made a difference in my case, only three first editions got vins last week at the dealer I reserved with. My reservation is for a base.

Other than a few exceptions where a res can go into Preview on Wednesday (or possibly another day?) this is correct. The most important part of this is that a VIN is not assigned until the Thursday build date email process from Ford.
Also for the OP, keep in mind that Preview does not guarantee that you will get a VIN assigned that week. This has happened to my res twice now.

I’m aware. This is why I stated hopefully I’ll get a confirmation from Ford on Thursday. Thanks for the input though.

Congratulations!! I’m also previewing this week! Told by my dealer this past weekend!! I’m pumped. He thinks I’ll get an end of July build date. Which is amazing. Although depending on delivery I may be in CO at Super Cel West!

But I’ll be deployed in August and be back in September.Congratulations!! I’m also previewing this week! Told by my dealer this past weekend!! I’m pumped.

I figured if I’m on vacation, I will tell them use it as a display. They want to let a few ppl test drive it. I’d be okay with that. What about you. Have a plan while you are gone if it shows up?!

Too bad you won't get Velocity blue. Having seen it and Cactus Grey in person, I like the V.B. a lot more. It really pops and has presence. Nice build in any case!

I inquired with my dealer last week to suggest removing the Tow Package if it was in any way helpful for my chances to get previewed/scheduled. He followed up and said "I had to make some changes on some orders but it looks like your order was safe with the towing package."
I assume thats a good thing in general but I know nothing.

After you get a VIN you can still change color up to production. I asked my rep about a few scenarios about chances of getting bumped if I make certain changes. He said the only thing right now that won't cause an issue is color change. Since the volatility with commodities and difficulty trying to get scheduled in some semblance of order, anything could cause it to drop.
Moral of the story, paint change after getting VIN=OK, other things=probably not OK. My questions were about changing from soft to MIC, powertrain, squatch or trim levels. Granted all major items and some that are restricted, just wanted to see if there was any wiggle room like we do with other vehicle line orders. I would suggest not f'ing with anything previewing out of an abundance of caution.

Yeah they will be instructed not to let a soul drive it unless its for quality purposes. I don't want anyone test driving my $60,000 Bronco before I get a chance to.

Yeah I agree. It was after I saw it in person that I decided to change it. Maybe after a VIN i can still change it. Either way I'm Happy, I like both colors.
