brhulen Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I just ordered a 2015 KR F350 the other day from a local dealership. How can I track the progress of the build while at the factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 There is a tracking forum on the site, but you have to have (I think) 15 posts before you can post in there. Look around, find something interesting and add some informative posts. Then submit your info in the tracking forum (be sure to read the rules) and enjoy the site! Welcome, BTW!

akirby Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Your dealer has complete access to the status of your order at the factory. Whether they bother to look it up for you is another story. If you participate in the forums over the next few days and get up to 10 posts you can ask cyberman to track it for you in the employee section vehicle locater, but read and follow the rules to the letter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 As "akirby" stated, your Dealer has access to all the information on your order status. To add a little bit more... Your Dealer receives a "Daily Vehicle Status Report" each morning that includes updates on all scheduled orders whether they be stock, demo, retail, fleet, etc. Vehicle orders show up on this report for 3 days and then drop off the report until there is another status change at which time they show up on the report again. Your Dealer also has 24/7 access to the "Vehicle Visibility" report which will display the latest order status (scheduling, production, shipping, etc.) along with the complete order history. I'd suggest letting your Dealer know that you expect regular status updates. If your Sales Representative isn't responsive the go to the Sales Manager and anyone else that you have to! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brhulen Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks for the replies and information folks. I did receive a VIN the other day when I requested an update. That being said when I ran the VIN on the internet it comes back as a Platinum rather than a King Ranch. I called the new sales manager about it and he said all the King Ranches come back that way. Just wanted to check here again for validation. Slowly working my way towards the magical 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Not sure that site is live yet. I put in a VIN that somebody posted and it didn't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Might be specific vehicles only or maybe I messed up the one I was looking at. Anybody else have VINs they can test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drivenhard Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 This does it: http://www.cotus.ford.com/ This worked great for tracking my build. They really did a good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brhulen Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 I just tried it and it didn't work for me either???? If it is okay I can post the VIN here if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brhulen Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Once again referring to my earlier question; when I ran my VIN on another website it comes back as a Platinum rather than a King Ranch. Is that common? My dealer assures me all the KR's come back that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbar Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I just put in 2 VIN's from dealer ordered vehicles and neither one was accepted. Vehicles that have been on order for almost a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
