ive ordered a 2021 with 5.0L but want to change it to powerboost, but im told by everyone ive called at ford so far that once a vin is created changes cannot be made....my truck is scheduled for june 19th...there must be a way to make a change short of cancelling my order and having to wait even longer for my truck if i placed a new order for one with powerboost
has anyone had any experience with this situation?
Does anyone know who may be able to intervene and make the change to the order?
Any Ford reps in the forum that may be able to help?
TIA

 

There are no Ford reps here.

You cannot make the change, as you've been told. Cancel and reorder, or find one already ordered.

 

I was told on my special order.....Once the VIN is produced you can't change an order.

 

I was told the same. I made a few changes before VIN was created to try and speed up delivery.

 

They are absolutely correct... I have already gone through this ordeal. I special ordered a truck, and they dealer forgot to add the "Interior Work Surface". They tried to add it, after the truck was sent to production, but not yet built... with no luck. I even tried contacting Ford MoCo on my own, and was told that if I wanted to change the order, I would have to cancel my current order and reorder. Sorry, bud!

 

How could they change the order unless they changed the VIN? The power plant is one of the 17 components.

 

You are correct. The VIN has the 5.0L identifier in it. I was trying to make the point of, if I couldn't get an order change for a simple arm rest... there was no chance for an engine change. 😜

 

Guess I'm not getting rock crawl mode lol

 

So i guess if i do cancel I'll be waiting much longer to get a truck. I ordered in early may and was given a June 19 build date but I'm guessing there have been thousands of orders since then, so id be waiting a lot longer now...

 

I would think you will be waiting until very late summer/early fall but if you are positive you want a power boost that's what I would get, maybe even wait for 22 model!
What was your priority code?
