I was told that my dealer's Ford rep said the first allocation had to be either a CFTP or a CFHP car. I really don't want the CF wheels for street use. I went with the CFHP as the suspension calibration is a #2 instead of the track pack's #3.

That is a first, normally you get 2 base models before a CFTP car unless your dealer gets 3 allocations and one of them is a CFTP car, if that were the case the dealer could order a car in any configuration he desired.

You're both right.

The Ford rep very well could have said get the CFTP/CFHP order in early to get it in the first build, etc.

You do get two/three base for every CFTP (not sure of the CFHP ratio).

Doubt it. This will be my third GT500 from them (all ordered at MSRP) as well as two Expeditions.

That sounds about right. I believe they have 4 allocations; but, this first one has to be one of the carbon packages. If I want the regular HP (or none at all), I would have to wait for the next allocation.

Would they automatically get another CFTP allocation once they sell the one they have? Curious if that would be the motivation to sell it 1st
No, they wouldn't.

Don't know. My feeling is Ford wants to get an early idea on how many carbon wheels/spoilers they will need. I have no reason to believe that my dealer is lying. Long time customer and they have never, ever done me wrong.

I don't think they're lying, they're just I'll informed.

Ford is the one that sets the limit on CF wheels/spoilers. They don't care how many are ordered that way.

It sounds like your dealer wants his first car to be a CFTP car. If that is the case all he has to do is set its priority to 10 and the other 3 allocations to a lower priority. But this still doesn't guarantee that he will get the CFTP car first.

I order a base model today but could've ordered the carbon handling package, at least it showed I could on the computer at the dealership. I opted for the base model though, the roads here in northwest Pa. can get pretty bad. Did not want to risk damaging a carbon wheel.

The computer will show that the dealer can order an infinite amount of CFTP cars. That doesn't matter.

Can someone post their 2021 DORA? If you don't feel comfortable posting it here, can you send it to me in a PM?

Thanks

I will post mine as soon as my dealer can figure out how to get it. I stopped by yesterday and they can’t figure out how to find the VOC or the DORA. They have called their Ford rep 3 times and have not been able to get in touch with the rep.

Basically the same thing. Did the status report show you other vehicles they have in the system, or just yours?
