Incorrect. A dealer can assign a priority code from 10 to 99 for *any* order.

A couple years back, I posted a long post over at F150forums detailing the Ford ordering process (e.g., priority codes, allocation, scheduling @ the plant, etc.). For anyone interested in learning how it's done, here you go:

Yes, but what I have read is 10-19 are assigned to Retail orders for customers like us and 20 thru 99 are for their stock orders. 19 is the default for a retail order unless the dealer changes it.

I ordered mine 10/19 and have a scheduled delivery date of 2/5. CCSB Lariat RR 6.7. Nothing special. Posted this in another thread. Interesting reading.

Stop complaining!

I had my wife order me a '52 Ford truck and i'm STILL waiting.

i don't think she ordered it.

Be patient. These New Superduty Trucks are well worth the wait!
