cookiehumper Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Does that mean Ok to buy has been achieved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POOPONYOU Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I don't know but why move the date closer if nothing has changed? I'm speculating but optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the only rationale that makes sense to me but I’m not an industry insider so maybe there’s some other explanation for the move-up of the production date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice-capades Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Before anyone asks the question. The will by no vehicle scheduling for any Ford or Lincoln models for next week... the week of 11/19/2019 which is Thanksgiving week in the USA. After this week's scheduling on Thursday 11/15/2018, scheduling will resume the week of 11/26/2018 with scheduling done on Thursday 11/29/2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POOPONYOU Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I apologize for asking the same question about Ok To Buy but at least I am passing the information along to the 2019 Raptor customers who are impatiently waiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(As far as that goes, would that break apply to production in Canada ??, as well?) I’ll admit to being more interested in the question about production in Hermosillo than Ontario, given that I’ve placed an order for an MKZh that would be built there, but now I’m curious about production breaks: Would a Thanksgiving break occur across all North American Ford plants, or only the Ford plants in the US of A? Also, does the same sort of thing happen at Christmas? Sorry for the questions but I’ve come to really respect your in-depth knowledge on these topics and really appreciate the time you put in to educating those of us who don’t work in the industry but have an interest in it. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) My post was related to scheduling but I think the attached list of scheduled plant "Down Weeks" will answer your question. The information is from last week's FDNB (Fleet Distribution News Bulletin) and is mostly related to fleet orders in regard to priority codes and OTD (Order to Delivery) times which are much longer for fleet orders.

Lee F Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Received the VIN for my F-150 King Ranch this morning. Estimated delivery Dec. 26. Considering the holidays we'll have to see how accurate that date is but at least it's in the system.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
