My latest order email from Ford.

[APmech]

We understand it has been too long since you last heard from us. Today, we wanted to give you an update on the status of your Ranger LARIAT order.

Unfortunately, continued supply chain issues are slowing things down. We’re working diligently to try and reduce these delays.

Now here’s our promise to you. We know that waiting for delivery of your Ford is far less fun than actually driving it. So, we commit to updating you as soon as we can, at least once every 45 days regarding your vehicle’s production schedule status. No matter what.

Thank you for your patience and understanding

A '"catch all" message which means nothing. Wonder if a "real" person sent it or a bot(AI).

Yep. The auto-generated 45 day email which means.... absolutely nothing.

I got that too but a couple of weeks later got the scheduled email and VIN

What a cop out. Supply chain issues. Surprised they didn't say covid

 

[jdlapointe]

It is just an auto generated email that goes out until you get scheduled. There really isn't much else to say, but at least it acknowledges your order is in the bank waiting to get scheduled.

The lack of those Chinese-made (cheap) plastic pieces can be a real stumbling block!

 

[jrRaptor]

I should be getting one of those next week.

You can't even get the new tacomas yet, plus you can't order exactly what you want, you get whatever the factory sends. Also, Nissan is discontinuing the Titan in 2024, who knows how long the Frontier has left.

Those auto emails go out to people who are not scheduled yet. It is what it is.

I was paraphrasing Fords letter as a response back to Ford. Ford right now is focused on building EVs nobody can afford or really want at the expense of the ICE cars we do want. EVs are now starting to grow on dealers lots with interest falling off rapidly in EVs and being to expensive a long with hefty ADMs which Ford said the wouldn't allow.

These are a generic email that you will get every 45 days

I do. Have a 2020 offroad and love it. Dependability, capability and resale value is inarguable.
