2022 GT500 order thread

The Eagle has landed.

Thanks man. Yea that green was a leap of faith and it looks killer in your pictures. My first instinct was to go blue/white or white/blue but my Challenger is F8 green and I had a Verdoro green 69 Judge a "long time ago'' so I took a chance on the green, and from the pictures I'm seeing I'm glad I did.

What's the ramp code on your Window sticker?

If I was a betting man I'd say RH80 which is:
5140 Service Center Dr
San Antonio, TX 78218

If you're lucky it could be CA7L which IIRC is Hardy:
20909 Hardy Road
Houston, TX 77073

(I lived in Houston for years before moving to Austin, and everything I've ordered from ford in MI has been RH80 for a couple years since Toyota took over most of the ramp capacity near Hardy Toll Road.)

EDIT: Sadly I don't have a login to UP's live site, but here's a picture of your railcar taken in 2016.

I know my 2020 came to the Hardy location. I went out there and snapped some pics through the fence of it sitting in the rail yard.
Is this what you are talking about on the window sticker?

The GM told me Houston is the destination.

Yep!
RA5B is the alternate code for Hardy, so same place as your 2020.

Sweet! I know for the 2020 it took 5 days for a truck to pick it up and take it to the dealership. That’s why I went and took some pics.

Just under 6000 in ‘20, just under 5000 in ‘21, as of 6/14 1150 (confirmed) to date this year. Guessing a few more hundred since then. So maybe 1500 (+/- 200) by the time they started their 2 week break this week.
*unless otherwise noted, all above estimates based upon reported chassis numbers online.

My late build 2020.

Has anyone seen one in the mischievous purple yet?

Is this how it goes at the rail yard? The first video with the Mustangs is short and sweet The second video with the BMWs... is that where our pre delivery mileage comes from? Surprised there isn't more damage. I'm crossing my fingers. Then again this happens thousands of times a day across the country with no issues.

How about Handling? Seems to be hit or miss.

No handling pack either. Recaros, tech pack are the only options.

You fly through scheduling whenever they start September.

I finally caught up with the Ford Video Guy's latest video and he said it was told to dealers that all mustang scheduling for September would be 5750, and unlike August he didn't break out the GT500 scheduling numbers at all, so unsure if it wasn't on his sheet or since his audience is Bronco and Maverick people he didn't bother, but here's to hoping it's near the same 750 they scheduled in Aug!

Hey my order just got finalized last week with a 8-15 build date, I have the handling package on mine with no problem

Commodity constraints are usually per order type (Stock vs Retail) and by Ford Dealer region, so it’s hit or miss at scale.

But after personally sitting at UMH for 5 months in Priority 01 and having gone UC the minute I had the handling package pulled, it’s worth it to check given 90% of the parts can be purchased separately.

While you may have gotten scheduled, it would suck for anyone to not get scheduled for a mostly boxes in trunk package

Would be cool! I ordered it that way on purpose, no stripes no handling pack to have the best chance.

Interesting that 37 out of 92 are HE cars.
15 CFTP.
Only 3 are CFTP no tech or other interior options. How mine is spec. Of those three, one painted stripes the other two vinyl.

I'm worried/curious how many of those UMH HE's waited a whole year to be told there was a HE % constraint of total and their car won't be built. Hoping their dealer lets them make changes vs going to another order but this late in the game, I'm assuming the non HE order at their dealers took their place.
