Yeah lower is better. Each dealer is treated differently as they may not allot their priority codes the same.

So asking the dealership for a lower number to expedite the order can help ?

My priority was a 19, and I received my F-350 in 57 days, located 1700 miles away from the Kentucky plant. And that included the 10-day holiday shutdown. Don’t get too crazy with the priority codes.

10-19 are customer orders. 10 best, 19 worst. 20+ are dealer stock orders.

#1 gets it built almost immediately but you need higher ups to do it (zone rep) and you won't be able to accomplish tbag one.

Mine had a priority code of 19. Placed the order October 2nd and arrived at the dealer around November 20.

Dealer started our order at 19 but I asked, and they dropped me to a 10. Is there a rule of thumb as to how long different priorities take ?

As I understand, those priority codes are how dealers prioritize their ordered vehicles. When Ford picks up orders from dealers on Thursdays, the system will pick up the dealer's higher priorities first. Having a priority code of 10 at one dealer doesn't mean your vehicle will be built before another dealer's priority 15. Like Blwnsmoke alluded to earlier, it's takes a Ford rep to prioritize at Ford proper. My dealer ordered at priority 15, Ford accepted and scheduled the truck on Jan 10th (due to the holiday shutdown), and one month and two days later, it's in South Texas and ready for a truck to deliver the final 15 or 20 miles.

If your dealer doesn't have a truck allocation, it won't matter what the priority is.

10 is better then 11.. 11 is better then 12 etc.

There are some exceptions to this. If a dealer doesnt use any 10s, then then 11 will be the best. If they dont use 11s, 12 will be the best etc.

the highest priority will always be built before a lower priority.

Some dealers may not use 10 at all because they save that for more important customers over others.

The dealer can also assign the same priority to multiple orders of the same vehicle. In that case, the vehicle that was ordered first will be built first.

I doubt you got 1 unless your previous order was totaled or something
