Beadlock/CF orders getting pulled 02/01 forward

[Autophanatic]

I thought in order processing was the same as unscheduled clean. Right when the staff changed at FB their answers changed from nothing yet... to in order proc. That was Feb 3. Figured they were just blowing smoke but next day dealer says filling out my order info. Then following Friday I get my vin. So hope it is a step fwd.

It is the same, for all purposes worth discussing. The folks on Ford Service Facebook, fordvehicles.com CHAT, and the Customer Relations Center, they're all essentially the same. I've communicated with them all, way more than I'm comfortable in saying......but they all have the same script. Unscheduled clean and order processing are the same. As evidenced by the transcript provided by hamster, these people do not elaborate--I have the exact experience with them, all. They don't avoid elaborating for increased efficiency; they don't elaborate because it's always advised to keep the script short and concise when one doesn't have a clue. Not trying to demerit them for their skills, they are just not given the most factual and up-to-date of information. Garbage in, garbage out.

By the way Cobber,
Talked to my guy at Gus today, and he said I should be next up for being scheduled. That's what the GM said anyway....

Ordered 8/4. Was told to drop the beadlocks and here it is three weeks later. Now to find some after somebody puts some 22's on theirs to cruise the mall. Hang in there, they are really cranking them out now.

Looks good.....everyone's pics and positive comments about their trucks makes the wait easier. Ford does seem to finally have production moving at a good clip.

Found an old screen print and it showed Status of.....

Primary: In Order Processing
Secondary: Unscheduled - Clean

So sounds like FS just quoting Primary status now with their new staff.

My dealer called a few days ago and asked if I wanted to drop the beadlocks to get the truck quicker. I ordered 11/20, and I was there last allocation, number 12. They have already delivered 6 of their allocations. I said I didn't want to change my order. I'm cool with a June delivery, but later than that would maybe stink

Well that's great to hear. Sounds like they are finally slowly moving all those old orders.

Dealer estimated June or is that your estimate? Sounds like you were in the same boat as me. I had 6 in front of me and lots after me. I was the first in line to pull beadlocks. Now my Raptor is being built in a couple of weeks!

I guess it depends on how long you can wait...

I was also told to remove carbon fib and wheel option to get truck built; I passed and said no I want the options. Dealer response was May 17 possible delivery for next allocation. Has anyone heard anything else??

Interesting, so I guess we can delineate them as different, but both definitely fall into the category of, "Do what you must to relax now buddy.....for it is still going to be a wait....". Seems like the only relevant information is when it is finally squeezed out of regional reps, and then accurately articulated to dealers...and finally to customers.

For all end user purposes, they are exactly the same thing. You are either in whatever they want to call it status or you have been scheduled with the VIN number. Those are the only two statuses that mean anything
