DEAL 3% Under Invoice on any F-150 Tremor Order

[MarkAS]

** Allocation and F-150 360 camera update **

Good morning everyone. Sorry for the delay in getting this back to you, but I wanted to get as accurate information as possible.

We have production information for the 2022 F-150 released this month. We received a total allocation of 65 units. That was broken down by 4 from the traditional stock vs sold allocation and 61 from COVP. What can we gather from that?

1. Production levels still aren't at previous to hold capacity. I have no official word from Ford on this, but on our previous 3 allocations we averaged 25 F-150s with the traditional (stock vs sold criteria) and 42 allocations from the COVP program. This resulted in a totl of 67. We essentially filled our demand with the COVP every month prior to this 2 month shut down with COVP Allocation. The fact that we only received 4 allocations on the stock side of the equation tells me that they are still probably wrapping up some outstanding orders in this production cycle.
2. COVP is working, but it won't be quick. - We use all our allocation to fill retail orders. We only get stock inventory if commodity restraints won't allow a retail order to be built. This allocation run we'll have anough allocation to fill approximately 1/3rd of our oustanding retail orders.
3. Production timing expectations - if there are no other setbacks and you place an order today. I would anticipate your order coming landing on the dealership lot in approximately October. Now production constraints may get better or worse, but that would be my best educated guess right now. For those with existing orders. I'd imagine they'd be fulfilled within 6 months from now (again barring commodity restraints.

360 Camera - We can no longer place a STOCK order for a Co-Pilot350 Assist 2.0 option when it isn't a standard item (i.e. Platinum, Limited). For Existing Retail orders if you have an existing order with a Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 camera, don't change anything, you should be good to go. New Retail orders can only be ordered with either Trailer Tow Package (53A) or Max Trailer Tow Package (53C) to be considered for scheduling. You can no longer order Tow Tech Package (17T) and still be scheduled.

Ford Co-Pilot360 Active (43C on 502a-901A equipment groups) You must now add Active Park Assist 2.0 Removal (67X) or the orders won't be elgibile to schedule.


I hope that helps and thanks for your patience on the update.

And to be clear as I think I misread this initially, but if you don't currently have a VIN it seems you have to remove the Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 from your order for the 22MY (I just got an email from Granger telling me I'd have to remove it). Initially I read "existing retail order" as someone who put down their deposit and had their order sent to Ford.

Same, that's ok, I know how to park my truck.

I only added it because I think I could only get the tech with Bluecruise with it selected. All these safety packages are confusing, haha. I;m not worried about the parking tech, but if we're losing the 360 camera completely that's another thing. That's something I want when I'm on a trail without a spotter.

Same, if they delete the camera I may cancel.

This is what I got from Granger. I did not have co-pilot active or blue cruise on my build.

I think this is a totally separate option (my build sheet says the cost is $0)-so I wonder if this is standard for 402a?

I asked if Ford is dropping the price on my truck since I don’t get this option now-I’m sure we all know the answer already.

It is standard on the 402A, I dont have BlueCruise either.

Ford is providing a $365 credit off MSRP ($332 off Invoice price) for this removal. I would want to confirm that Granger is passing along a ~$312 (332-3% discount) credit.

I would be VERY surprised if they did not, Granger has been the most transparent and easy-going dealership I have ever dealt with.

Same. I have no use for the feature so the credit would be put to better use.

Ordered through Tommy Vaughn here in Texas. Used Chip w/ Granger to help build my truck, did not even consider dealing with the sales team in Houston. Granger is the go-to place for Tremors.

Haha well never mind I guess.

I'm soooo confused it's 11am on a Fri and I want a drink

 

[MarkAS]

I got a response of "You will still have the Co-Pilot active and the bluecruise, just not the active park assist. You can keep those on there but your vehicle will more than likely not get produced due to those being a commodity restraint. "

Which confuses me more as I'm not sure if by "those" they mean the Park Assist, or the Active+Bluecruise.

 

[Pierless]

I'm just imagining poor Zach seeing the back and forth on this thread and running through Granger yelling "noooooooo!"

But atleast I'm not the only one who gets confused on some of these things...

Got the same email after asking what exactly was happening.

I am priority code 12 now!! Not that that means anything at all. Most progress on my order in 3 months

Did they tell you or are you able to see that on window sticker?

I’m still “order processing “-no VIN/no sticker yet.

I emailed Granger and they told me that was the only update they had on my order. Priority code doesn’t get it built faster, just moves you higher in the pecking order at the dealership…at least that’s how I understand it.
