They are definitely waiting on some component of the handling package, as they have pushed mine and several others bike, while pulling cars ahead that don't have the package. If they aren't using the parts on cftp's then it's safe to assume it's the Gurney flap. In your case it may be a shipping issue getting the car over into Canada.
I have heard this but CFTP cars are going out and they have all of the handling package stuff on them. I wonder if they get priority because of the profit margin???? My car actually moved up from the original date of 06/28. The blend date moved up to 06/08 and is now built.
That or I am just one lucky SOB which if so, it would be the first time in history with a car I was lucky.
I don't think northern dealers get more raptors than southern dealers. the F150 isn't a season vehicle the way a mustang is. my buddy in texas says raptors are everywhere down there.
This is true. They are all over HTX.

If it's only the Gurney flap they are holding on that would be silly but wouldn't surprise me either. If they have scarce parts they may just prioritize the cftp's. Who knows.. what I do know is, I got pushed back yet another week as of today. Oh well.

2022 GT500 and a few others
5500-7000 GT500's???
That seems pretty high. You think they'll build MORE than each of the last 2 years?
FYI, 1150th GT500 rolled off the assembly line yesterday. First few were built mid-March. Given they did have a bunch of weeks with the plant down, but there are at least 2 scheduled down weeks in July. I'll be surprised if they build more than 3000. I would expect "limited edition" HE's would be significantly less than your estimate....Just my two cents...
This is correct :)

Gurney flaps make sense. CFTP no gots those.

Unfortunately, orders and when they were placed mean nothing. Only allocations count. And the dealer can apply his allocations to any order they want, or even create a new stock order for himself. It’s all about relationships with honest dealers.

I love dealers who advertise at MSRP and when you call them they say the vehicle is available with a $25k ADM. screw that. Ford is in cahoots with dealers building cars at a snails pace and allowing dealers to rip off customers with ridiculous ADMs. Ford already said their customer loan default rates have increased significantly!

Lol am I dumb or is the 8th month of the year not August anymore? ;D

Edit: Looks like a typo from them I am dumb :D
I'm not sure myself or anyone else knows what you're talking about?

The date at the top is the week they schedule for those weeks in August. Unless the image has changed since you quoted it.

Advertising ADMs is probably illegal, and certainly against their franchise agreements. Advertising’s sole purpose is to generate interest and action on the customers’s part. That’s Business 101.
