Production Time - Super Duties

[PowerStrokeHD]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: stunya</div><div class="ubbcode-body">powerstroke...can you explain the allocation process? i cant imagine my dealer has a huge allocation...as they only have about 12 SDutys on the lot right now. You are saying this will hurt my production time right?

Thanks...

Yes, it is possible that your wait time could be longer if you go to a dealer that does not sell many trucks.

There are a few factors that Ford uses to determine allocation. As you have already guessed, volume of sales is a major one. Bobby is a very good example of that. He has a very high volume of sales and he gets his vehicles in no time flat.

I remember my dealer telling me I used up their last allocation for the week or something.

Dropship to FL.

He has a web page that tracks his orders with ford, that keeps you updated without having to call him all the time. I'll bet he calls me when the money is due, come November.

So you're the other guy from Florida drop shipping!

BTW, Bobby was a pleasure to deal with and did what he said he'd do.
I wonder if Bobby ever even saw what my truck looked like in my pictures [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

Yep, local dealers never had the same salesmen twice, no one could answer questions about the truck correctly. And I just didn't feel confident in doing buisness with them. Bobby was friendly, Knowlegeable, and took the time to work with me. He placed the order, sent me the dora, and has an order tracking web page. It was easy, I did it at home. The hardest part is the wait. As a bonus sunrise has a huge allotment so im looking at only 8 or 9 weeks including the 2 week shutdown.

Wicked,

Have you received any updates on your rig? I just found out from the VIN tracker thread on blueoval that mine has been produced, as scheduled. I ordered it 9/8, and from the very beginning was told it would be built the week of 10/29. My dealer had me a VIN# in a week, and the date held through the shutdown. Hopefully yours will be produced just as timely. For those curious, here's a link to its window sticker: http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums...e=post&id=5286

It is sitting in a rail yard 90 miles south of here, the dealer thinks it should get delivered early next week..around the 20th(gotta unload from train and load on the semi truck and whatnot).

I ordered it on 10/1 and arriving in 7 weeks to the dealer is pretty good in my book, especially with all the talk of delays and whatnot.

I can't wait to see how peppy this beast is gonna be with the 4.30s [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

[stunya]

good for you...im five weeks in and dont have a vin number yet...

how long from after they generated the vin till you found out its on its way?
