Good luck ladies and gent's, BTW it seems US VIN's can be researched on the Canadian site again, until now only MY 2022 VIN's would work. Ford Vehicle Order Tracking-Canada

Does the Canadian site do anything better than the US site ?

It's more reliable when you query the progress.

I used the Canadian tracker more for my Lightning as the up time was much better.

Currently using the Canadian site for my wife's MME.

That opens up another can of worms. I just got off the phone with Ford to see what is the deal with the expiration date of the cash offer (1/3/23 for me). Some say it is the date by which you have to order but she confirmed it is the expiration date for cash offer. I said, Ford had it on the order page, and it was the reason I ordered the truck. She kept saying you have to talk your dealer. My dealer don't even acknowledge the cash offer exist. January delivery may mean $11K+ of difference.

That certificate expiration date is not for delivery by date.

The expiration date is for order by day.

As long as your order goes in before the expiration date, you are golden.

Once your dealer gets invoiced (built condition) by Ford, they can look up the certificate value using Smart VINcent.

My wife's MME is incoming - build date is today and dealer confirmed Priority build 1 with $6,000 PCO as my '22 order was pushed into a '23.

Dealer said delivery is late January / early February assuming no recall midstream & no rail track issues, embargo or strikes.

So when I see the built date on Ford site, it is safe to call the dealer?

It shows the ETA's once the truck ships, the USA site never shows ETA's
This was extremely helpful when I was doing mass research.

But the buying customer can still see their ETA's at the point of built & shipped status on their personalized order page (where you need to log into ford.com or ford.ca)

when is that exactly? My blend date? When I see the built date on Ford site? When it is shipped?

About a week to be built after blend. 1-2wk to be shipped. 1-2wk to deliver. Obviously all rough rule of thumb dependent on tons of factors.

Take a look at this to help forecast your dates. https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx...713&ithint=file,xlsx&authkey=!APKJUMlpZZOd6RU

Absolutely; 2/11. Added to my signature as well.

I was not asking for an exact date. what I meant was when the dealer will be able to see the cash offer? Is it when I see the built date on Ford website?

Yes, when it's built, Ford will have sent an invoice to the dealer.
From there the dealer can see the completed build and look in Smart VINcent for your certificate.
