As Anzan said " All hail FTE!!! " I can get answers from good folks here that owe me nothing.
huntercgr, I had words with my salesman yesterday, so I'm giving him a couple of days off. May stop in on Sat. and will ask for priority order#.
Thanks All

stmatt,
Ordered my 250 Lariat v10 on Feb 2. Dealer told me I was assigned a priority "10". Called them on Feb 11 and they gave me a Vin # and a build date of Feb. 21/05. Hope its not true about Monday build dates!
Something doesn't sound right. As stated earlier it's probably got something to do with allocation, but the dealer should tell you what their allocation is at that time. The guys at Blue Oval (as everybody is here) are a great source of info.

You are more patient than I. Of course I didn't hear the words from yesterday because I wouldn't let him off the hook.
I am curious if you put a deposit down? Not that it matters much.

huntercgr, I put a 1000.00 deposit down when I ordered. I did get 200.00 under invoice and a decent amount for my trade. So the story started out happy, I hope it ends happy.
captchas, the priority code on the paper I got the day I ordered was 12, don't know if that one is accurate. I do have a VIN which was checked for me by a guy at Blue Oval News, I was shocked to learn that the truck I ordered 11-26 was received by Ford on 1-31. I'm hoping it won't be too much longer of a wait.
Thanks for all the replies, 80% of the information I have on my truck came from guys like you

Could someone explain the hierachy of the "priotity code"?
thanxs as always... FTE is the best for us less informed :-) I have a priority 15... I hope that's good!
PS. Even though my build date was a monday (2/7) Dare I ask why why Monday's are a concern... do the robots get the weekend off and should I worry about them having a few to many high/low voltage cocktails?

The priority codes exist to keep the dealership sane, so the number per se doesn't mean anything. We can "stack" orders in our preference of them being placed for production. This doesn't mean they actually appear in that order (option/model constraints will affect the process). You'd have to see the whole dealerships order bank to see how that priority code fits in.

Build dates are always on a Monday, ship dates on a Friday.
