2022 GT500 order thread

[rxsamg]

Haven't heard that but my car got pushed back 10 days and it has handling package. 2 others scheduled the same day that didn't have the package did not. Maybe it would be worth it to order without then piece it together?

Dealer called me Monday. Said he spoke to his ford rep if I remove Handling package they can schedule my car for a build date and should have it scheduled asap.

anyone else hear this?

I’ve been hearing this circulate the forums last couple weeks. Have not been able to confirm anywhere (other ford models publish their constraints) or with anyone. But I suppose if you’re stuck in unscheduled it couldn’t hurt to try. What doesn’t make sense is CFTP cars are being scheduled & they have those same components.

Except for the Gurney Flap….
And the higher $$ cars might get priority for their share of the other pieces.

Ooops, forgot about that part. Doubtful a small part would be a significant holdup but you never know.
If it’s any consolation I did hear last night from Tim @ Long McArthur Ford that 750 (50% Base/50% CFTP) GT500’s should be in next scheduling group for August. But no scheduling this week, so hopefully start scheduling again next week.

Same, I shared these "rumors" with my dealer and they called their Ford rep, and the claim is the Ford Rep hasn't heard anything. They offered to remove the handling package for me if I wanted to do so, but then we'd need to move back to Priority 10 and then re-request a move to Priority 01. Which they said would happen same day, but given each one of the parts that makes up the Handling Package appears to be in stock across Ford Parts/Performance. I don't know if the constraint is true for the masses or was a one off for a specific build week.

In any case, if I'm still in UMH at the end of July, (assuming they've been scheduling) I may have the package pulled and I will share results. But given 90% of the package sits in boxes in the trunk, I hope that's not truly what's holding us up.

You'd be surprised. The gurney flap, being unique to the handling package could be the hardest part for them to forecast to suppliers.

Also as @The Chairman stated above the cftp cars (if other parts are in supply) would get priority if it's a shared component.

I do think it would make more sense to ship the missing components (Assuming it isn't the camber plates) to the dealers as they become available. Obviously this wouldn't aid the scheduling issues but would allow production to stay on track. Who knows. What I do know is I would hate to have a scheduling job in any manufacturing environment right now.

Mustangs aren't built until the plant has all the parts to build them. They can't be released from the plant for shipment until they have been deemed saleable. As far as I know, Flat Rock may be one of the only Ford plants that has this policy.

The CFHP was only available for 2021 model years. If he found one of them, yes the wheels are the same except for the fact they are painted black vs being left as exposed carbon

Thank you.

There is a guy in our club that is the Parts Manager for dealer here. His order (with HP) has been on hold for a while, although he doesn’t know specifically why. So in the meantime, he bought a GT500 from another dealer but was surprised to find that it was ordered w/HP but shipped without it. So he set about buying the missing parts. Only able to get the oil separator so far.

After the goat rope with our 2020’s missing various HP parts, not surprised!

Ain't that the truth, the 2020MY was pretty confusing when it came the Handling Package, it took Ford a long time to finally determine exactly what parts came with the HP option. The problem didn't get resolved until the 2021MY.

Wonder what his vin is? Or was it UMH?

I see 0552 just arrived at a dealer in Texas and has the HP. Can't confirm that it actually shipped with the car though. Either way, I try to enjoy this whole process, it only happens once with each vehicle and the anticipation has always been part of the experience I enjoy.

552 wow. They are flying out the factory. Do you know the VIN by any chance? Curious to match build date/VIN to get an idea of production rates

Got a call from dealer today. Sales person says they have good news and bad news. Good news is just received an allocation, Bad news it is for a CFTP and you ordered a base. She asked if I would like to upgrade. Looks like I am spending a few more $$. Can't wait for a VIN and build date!!

That was the last 4 of the vin. Not sure on chassis number. It was posted for sale in a classified group on Facebook. I think the blend date was 5/5 iirc.
