I updated my own when I heard of my August date. Been offline for a few days but I haven't had any PMs with updates.
I know some have mentioned their updated dates in other threads, but if anyone would like their entry updated please post on this thread or PM me. I also encourage anyone who...
"Soon" is obviously a relative term. No email here, although the letter from my dealer last week said that Ford would keep me informed every step of the way, including the shipping process.
Is anyone considering installing additional lighting? I work shift and commute 80km each way through the bush so every return trip has at least one direction in the dark. Wildlife is a constant hazard including roos, wombats, pigs and deer. The other day I locked up my little 2wd Hilux...
It does look that way, but the fact that at least one vehicle exists with it the right way would tend to indicate that production vehicles will have it on the right.
I hope this is right as I received a letter yesterday, the paper kind, from my dealer telling me that my vehicle which I ordered in March this year was scheduled for delivery in August next year.
Thanks for the feedback AM. I've added the comment field and reworded the "priority batch" questions to make it a bit clearer. The comments will appear next to your entry in the database. I've also added another question to cover off the "no update" aspect.
- My dealer has not given me any...
Folks,
I'd like to bring together the order dates and rankings that are floating around the forum and start comparing them by dealer. I've set up another little survey to capture the data but will be transposing the data to Excel to make it easier to keep updated. A link to the excel file...
One possible explanation for the delayed delivery is what is known as Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP), used often in the manufacture of new aircraft types, particularly military aircraft. It allows a reasonable number to be out there being used by their new owners and essentially being...
Got a letter from my dealer today too re the viewing for 29 June. But I'm not going to drive 3 hours each way to share the car with up to 100 people (39 orders) in a 2 hour window. We are going to the US in October so will rent one then.
Still haven't heard back re my query on delivery date...
I asked my dealer for an update and he said he hadn't heard anything but would ask Ford. He also said I am no. 34 of 39 orders in their priority batch. Mine was placed on 24 March this year. They took their first order on 08 Feb last year. I'll post again when I hear back.
In today's news, the 40s cohort are staging a comeback and are now only just behind the 20s in overall numbers. The 30s are way behind and appear unable to catch up with several spotted still in the carpark trying to decide between a new exhaust or a compliant child seat.
Also making up ground...
Analysis update
There are now 70 responses with some slight changes to the analysis as a result. Magnetic has now pulled into equal first place as the favoured colour in NSW. NSW also has a much higher percentage of future owners in their 20s than the rest of the respondents - just under 50%...
Camaros and Corvettes - only a matter of time I reckon. Once GM sees the success of the Mustang worldwide they'll have no choice but to get in on the action.
Survey Analysis
We've had 61 responses so far so I will attempt some analysis. There is no real statistical significance to the results, it's just a reflection of the forum members who have chosen to participate. You can see the results yourself by following the link in my post above, but...
Looks like there is:

Apologies for not posting that link earlier, I had assumed that the other link would let you look at the data if you revisited it some time after doing the survey.
