Once a VIN is issued there is no moving trucks ahead or behind and "priority" means nothing as far the build goes. Priority goes out the door the very second a VIN is issued.

That's correct, but to get to the starting gate first the order should be placed as a Priority 20 instead of a Priority 10.
I know you are getting tired of hearing that fact, but it's a reality.


Only one guy with a Priority 10 order on this forum has been given a start date and a VIN number and the other 99% that placed their orders early on using Priority 20 have their build dates and VIN numbers.
I guess it's just a wild coincidence that the Priority 20's are getting to the gate before the others.
I want a start date and after that I don't give a rats ***** what code they give me.

You're absolutely right and I should have been more clear. The priority 10-19 will move ahead of the unscheduled 'VINless' priority 20 orders after the 'OK to buy' is achieved. If you're already scheduled, you should be fine, assuming that Ford is pleased with the quality and will allow them to be shipped.

Got my fingers crossed that my VIN is issued tomorrow.

As of today, no scheduling date for my priority 10 order placed on 7/28 or my priority 20 order placed on 9/23.

Hopefully we'll have something tomorrow. Supposedly, the VINs are issued each Thursday, so fingers crossed.

According to some forum members it does not matter what Priority numbers are assigned, but I find it ironic that the guys that ordered from dealers that were on the ball and ordered the trucks Priority 20 are magically getting build dates and VIN numbers. I guess it's my imagination that my Dealer talked to their Ford Rep after I got on their and suddenly they changed the original order to a Priority 20 order and made a second Priority 10 order to cover their .
All of that hype about what happens after you get a build date and VIN number don't mean squat until your build date and VIN number gets assigned to your truck. If I were you I would have a serious talk with your dealer before continue down the road and suddenly find out your truck is not going to appear until February.
