ordered back in August.LUCKY DOG!
Wish I could get ANY news on my Platinum.
there are two sites? I only know of the Ford website dealer search. Can you share the sites you use?That Ford track site for stock orders updates pretty much real time. Same as the Ford retail order site. I've seen stuff change on them at different times of the day and here guys state daily changes on their orders in past years.
I hope they release your options needed. Things seem to be moving much better now.
From what I’ve read on here, yes, there are two websites. One is more dealer oriented, but can still be accessed by customers for a stock order. The other is the standard VIN tracking for retail customer orders.there are two sites? I only know of the Ford website dealer search. Can you share the sites you use?

The regional rep told my salesman that I will be able to keep my $2500 mailer that expires 1-4I had 2 dealers trying to put a stock order for me through, and neither one got lucky. So I need to switch to retail and pick just one (obviously I'm not doing retail at 2 dealers). Now it is a matter of who will guarantee my price, as I do NOT want any bait and switch or "gotchas" when the truck arrives and I'm too excited to play hardball.
Basically I want to lock the incentives (already lost the "black friday" and "$300 build for growth" because they came and went!) and make sure they will honor my $2k private cash offer that expires 1/4. It is not MY fault, I have been trying to order since September!
For those with builds scheduled now in Jan/Feb, what is your experience if you were trying to use the cash offers that expire 1/4? Did you ask if your dealers will let you use them?
Bob- just was looking on the ford site for availability and I came across this. Based on the color and options, it looks like my limited, and it even has a VIN assigned. Don’t want to make to many assumptions but it seems to added up. Cant believe my dealer never told me.Could be, do you know if it was a retail order or a stock order??
Retail orders did not become possible till this week.
Don't let them sell it out from under you for more money.Bob- just was looking on the ford site for availability and I came across this.

How did you do this W/O a VIN? I suspect some funny business with my dealer too.Bob- just was looking on the ford site for availability and I came across this.

One more "Thumbs Up" from me regarding Albert. He's been upfront throughout the entire process. Granted, it's a looooong way from Tampa to Des Moines to get a truck. But spending the money I'm spending, I'd rather that it gets paid to someone who is honest with me, and not someone I feel could hose me at any minute.And people wonder why I'm so set on sticking with Granger There is NO way I want to deal with the piece of garbage dealership games, markup or selling it out from under me, etc. Now, until the truck is in my hands, I am not guaranteed a smooth process. But as it stands now, I'm highly confident that Granger is going to be exactly as transparent as they've been to us this whole time. That means no crazy markup at the end, no drama, just trying to get vehicles into the hands of people with as little hassle as possible. That's worth the drive or shipping costs to me, 100x over.
Oh, and great news is that Albert did send me my VIN as soon as he got it. Long delay, but not as a result of them obviously. End of January it looks like, and while that's longer than I hoped, I'm still thrilled to be getting an awesome truck for a great price.
You can check inventory Ford's inventory site and the show the VIN on the websiteHow did you do this W/O a VIN? I suspect some funny business with my dealer too.
