Thatā€™s a big loss of insight. A bigggg loss as he provided lots of other info also!!! Scheduling info, Order Guides, and more!!! BIG LOSS!! Key for someone with access, but also willing to research, pull the info, and share it on the BlueOvalForum in a timely and reliable manner!!
I thanked him a couple of times during the six month process for my car. šŸ˜„šŸ˜„šŸ˜„

Well, Ford is going to be selling direct like Telsa in the future so chances are they are restructuring. However, seeing 37 years in the image maybe he just retired?

Knowledgeable customers are probably too much of a PITA for dealers! Candidly, without this access to dealers guides I would not have the car exactly the way that I wanted it!! Now, if Ford had their Build and Price tool current and working, etc etc etc!!!

Perhaps an Audit thing. Our external auditors required a review of computer access for all employees to be sure they had what they needed but didnā€™t have access to things, even seemingly trivial things, that were not required for their job. Just another internal control.

I think, from just general things, he is a retired employee but had approval to access and provide the info. Yep, probably tightening things up. I wish the sales people at dealers would get really engaged for their customers. Some few do (like Granger), but many do not. If I were a salesman I would have a folder (hard copy or on the computer) so that I could provide accurate, timely info to my customers for ordering and on the status of their orders! And Iā€™d try to communicate all updates and touch base with them at least monthly! Iā€™d sure try!!!

He was the moderator of several Blue Oval sub forums where much of the information we get comes from. He will be sorely missed. Hopefully this was a voluntary move in preparation for retirement.

I'd guess somewhere on the sales portion, or as someone directly working for Ford. I'm certain you need to be granted access by a district overseer or someone higher in Ford's chain of command. I've searched about myself and keep hitting sales-only portions that I have no access to as a tech.

Then like most jobs youā€™d get chastised for not following procedures because it wasnā€™t their idea. After constantly being beat down youā€™d be like Fk it.
