That's a long backorder, they're gonna be building 2018s until the beginning of June...

And not shipping them until August.

This info came direct from National Sales Operations at Ford Canada. 2018 is a short production year.

Don't shoot the messenger but if you ordered a Mustang with Magneride like I did you might be getting the same call.

I didn't get MR. My car is built, but not being loaded up for transit. Checked the VINs on the dealerships other orders and there's one more car in my current situation and one that was built and in transit as of 12/11/2017 and STILL hasn't arrived, and has no EDD.

That's ridiculous.

I believe you, it just seems strange they're unwilling to build Magneride cars for the next 4 months. They aren't actually out of Magneride systems because they're currently building prototype Bullitts where the Magneride is an option that I'm sure many of them are built with. After these prototypes they'll build pre-production cars between now and May for the media launch/press drive for the Bullitt and almost all of those will certainly be optioned with MR since press cars tend to be fully loaded. Maybe they're just limiting Magneride for Canada for some reason?

I'm gonna be ordering a 2019 Bullitt in March when order banks open, so hopefully this supply issue is sorted out by mid-June when they're scheduled to start building 2019s.

This must apply to cars only ordered in Canada, I just talked with a ford rep and he said he hasn't heard anything about the back order on the MR...

I have the SVE. It isn’t stainless, but that is fine since the stock piping isn’t SS. It is easy to do without dropping the exhaust. Sealing the back end is the main issue.

Steeda just released their X-Pipe, and it's on sale right now, very tempted to get one of those. https://www.steeda.com/Steeda-S550-...esonator-Delete-X-Pipe-2015-2018_p_15368.html

Wish I had that option in December. That is much better and just as cheap as the SVE. That has better joints and shouldn't have the same leakage issue.

***IMPORTANT PSA***

After placing my order on January 8, 2018 I was notified by Ford on Feb 7, 2018 that my car could NOT BE BUILT as ordered. The week before this I was told my build date was March 5, 2018.

Magneride and Carbon Sport Interior are back ordered until 2019 model year. I was told that unless I dropped those items my car would not be built in 2018.

Luckily my dealer found me a car 'nearby' with all the options I wanted except the Carbon Sport interior. I was not willing to go without Magenride

Interesting. I wonder what happens if you ordered a car in what ends up being a 1 year color with something that is backordered until the next model year.

Of course I still don't have a valid order number since my brilliant dealer has like 3 cars assigned 9999 (which they use for deal building) and mine is among them. Amusingly, I can track 9999 with my name on lotus, but it shows an Explorer.

What's up with the hold back on Magnaride?

Interesting, mine has Magna Ride. Yesterday my salesman informed me of the lack of information on my car.

I would get in touch with the sales manager or even the owner of the dealer and have them find out what's wrong. Remember I ordered my car on January 8, 2018 and found out only this week that my car couldn't be built as ordered.

I hope you're right, if you have a car ordered.

I also would be having the dealer owner make the calls and not go by what a regular Ford Rep says. These types of back orders etc will not be popular with customers and I'm sure Ford didn't blast out a email to everyone stating their problem on Tuesday.

I had the owner involved the entire time and without his intervention would not have found out.

I guess the only way to confirm if the whole MagneRide issue affects more than just Canada is if anyone who ordered a car with it has seen any movement on their order recently.
