EDIT: So they said they took it off and even printed me out a 'preview' sheet or something and it was removed there. But when i login online, its still showing up there, does it take a few days for the online order to 'refresh' or something?

When I added the Max Tow after the fact it took 5ish days to show online.

Well I'll be damned.....log in this morning and my Ford order shows the minus $650 with the scales removed...no input from me or dealer after seeing Tow Tech intact since 8/11...I'm on autopilot now waiting for a production date. I don't know about these "codes" but I believe it's all in Ford's hands now with no dealer input needed. Think I'll start deciding on wheel/tire combos.
Cheers,Scott

i agree, im on autopilot too, think ive done all i can from my end. Just hoping I get my pro this year so I can get the tax credit (or however they do it now), doubt ill get it next year because of the battery minerals requirement. Only options I have left on my pro are the tow tech (minus scales) and the tailgate step (please dont tell me thatll delay getting scheduled too).

I got the tailgate step and will wait for it if need be but I can't imagine that being a hang-up that matters enough to care....unless of course a new design needs multiple processors..LOL
I still can't believe the Pros being scheduled already..I was holding out for a Pro which obviously is the best bang for the buck....Then I decided to ignore pricing and just buy what I wanted cause I ain't no spring chicken anymore. Time to spend down a little retirement...Where's the EV Corvette ?
Good Luck to all !!

2022 Lightning Lariat ER Rapid Red
Lariat ER Tow tech wave for reservation 2/17/22, pushed to MY23. Pleased to say I just checked and have received a production date of 10/31/22! It's been a long wait with a lot of researched to square away my order, couldn't have done it without this forum and with @TaxmanHog 's help! thank you all! How many weeks until I am assigned a VIN?

Edit: I didn't receive an email from Ford, I just happen to check my order status on Ford's website. Also, I have found my VIN using the back door method.

Look at my Pro in my signature, I even have a new paint color and I got scheduled. You should be good to go.

What does the order page change to? Is it just a check mark by scheduled or a new screen entirely? Screenshot by chance

When you see a VIN in an email will be when you're scheduled to the day, that could be some time ~10/20 assuming the date does not change!!!!

Decode the HTML code trick to find the VIN

Call your salesman for the VIN

Did you do the scale delete or did it get scheduled with the full tow tech package?
I added the tow tech package after my initial order and dealer called to say it required the removal and asked if that was ok. I said fine.

Does anyone know if you have to have the individual line item for the scales delete showing on the configuration. When I look on mine I see a line for the bed scales, and then I see the tow technology package, but there's not an individual line with the scales delete.
Personally I'd love to have that feature so if I could just leave it on and then it delays till it's available again, I'm somewhat ok with that.

I can see the line item showing -650 under "Vehicle Details" when looking at my order on the Ford website.

Can anyone validate that if you don't have the delete line, you won't get scheduled? Or will Ford add it automatically? The configurator didn't add it for me, but I believe there was an option available.
