Translation: we will schedule whatever we want.

Thanks for continuing to share this info. A couple bits aren’t clear to me though:

“Please reference the cleanup notes to see the exhausted/best available”

What does this mean and what exactly is in the cleanup notes?

Separately, does “orders required“ simply mean they have capacity there or that is where they are going to focus production?

Thanks all!

The onboard scales aren’t listed as a constraint but I’m not seeing any trucks getting scheduled that have them. I have seen several window stickers listing the tow haul package with a note that it is without the scales. Maybe some have been scheduled and I just haven’t seen them?

Chip @ Granger specifically told me the same. He said that onboard scales and smart hitch are holding up orders in spite of the fact that they are not listed in the scheduling notes. I think we have come to see these notes for what they are: they are guidelines for dealer stock orders. If dealers want to get orders scheduled fast, following these notes will help with that. As far as retail customer orders, I don't think these matter.

I think you may be right. Did Chip have any information about how long the scales and smart hitch may delay the scheduling?

I have them optioned, and the "rare" ones too.. with the separate height sensors at each corner (vs CCD trucks with the sensors built into the shocks).

I was scheduled on "Pro Access Tailgate scheduling day 1" (3/21) for 4/29.

Good to know. Is your truck a Lariat? When did you order?

I’m in the same boat. Onboard scales (via tow/haul package from job 1) but no CCD due to FX4.

According to Ford Chat, I am scheduled for the day on 4/29.

Yeah.. 502A is Lariat top trim.

I originally ordered Feb 5th, but then I got wind of Job 2 coming. I quickly cancelled and re-ordered my truck on Feb 20th, Job 2 opening day, so that I could get some options that were added for Job 2 (Pro Tailgate, Max-Recline seats and the center step). The order was immediately on hold due to the whole 63X thing (which I did not do), but then on 3/21 I got the "scheduled" email to include the PAT.

So if there is a raptor order in it will more than likely get scheduled?

Maybe someone knows the answer, is there a specific day of the week that Ford sends out emails that you’ve been scheduled? Or do they get sent out daily based on their scheduling process?

Seems to be Thursdays.

My Lariat just got put "In Production" and I have Onboard scales. Might be a new constraint

Did anyone get a scheduling email this morning? I did not.
