From the looks of it, it will most likely be shut down the holiday week of Christmas and start again after the new years holidays on 1/2/2017.
Hopefully, mine will be put on a truck before then. I messaged Ford on Twitter asking them if they see a Build date or a EDD for my car. Fingers crossed they see something! Next week is my allocation week supposedly!
Looks like they are all a week ahead. I confirmed mine is actually in production. Still no EDD. I am hoping to have it the week before Christmas.
Hopefully, my car will be built before 12/18. Since they are building them faster! This time last yr 17s were already on the roads these 18s are taking a long time to get them to us. Maybe they are just focusing on the dealers...
Dealers normally have higher priority orders for their inventory. Rarely does a custom order go above that unless it was cleared by an area sales manager or some other circumstance.
Blend date is the date when it finish building.
Thanks for the info. My build week was supposed to be the same according to my dealer a few weeks back, so it will most likely start the building process as same as yours.
Zero Percent for 72 months is on 2017s only. You won't see that on an '18 until summer, at the earliest. Bite the bullet and order what you want. Who knows, in 6-10 weeks they might be doing better than the current $500 rebate offered now on the '18's.
The way I was explained to it here at my dealership is that Ford will send out cars before customer ones so that dealers have something to show on the lots. I was wondering how people who ordered their cars right away were getting passed up by these cars that were getting to the lots.
