Reservation Screen Changed- Locked into specific trim

[KevinC]

I never received an invite for 2022 and I've been waiting for the 2023 ordering to open up. I'm hoping to get a pro. Now, on the main page it says :
2022 F-150 LIGHTNING XLT
Reservation

and on the click in to the reservation it says:

YOUR RESERVATION
FOR THE ALL NEW FORD F-150 LIGHTNING XLT​

Mine says the same thing.

We have seen that pop up a few times in the past. Just a website glitch as they are updating things. I would ignore it.

One thought I had was, during wave 6 my dealer had called me when he was looking for Lariat buyers and I had said I was leaning towards Pro/XLT. It was a 15 second conversation out-of-the-blue. I was wondering if I was somehow marked down as XLT from that.

If the rumored first 2 waves are carry over PRO followed by Carry over XLT, then it could point towards them pre-slotting people.

Don't think so. Told my dealer I wanted a Lariat ER and my res screen also now says 'XLT'.

Did you reserve from your dealer or did you reserve via Ford.com ?

On wave 7 orders, dealers did call customers to inquire about available Lariat trims.

Wave 6 for me was a standard email and text from Ford directly where I placed my order online.

Same and the preapproval is back on there

My page changed too, but says pro. I extended my reservation for the pro.

Same with mine.

I guess we'll know in a week, but this has the potential to be a mess if dealers were somewhat arbitrarily marking people down for trims that were then fed into the system. Even if someone is in the first PRO wave would they really be stopped from choosing a Lariat, or are they just getting first shot at picking before the PRO's are all taken. Likewise for the XLT wave. Will they get a choice from whatever is available regardless of being in the wave for being carried over for XLT. Inquiring minds want to know.

I think they pushed changes via a major “release” to ford.com last night. Some of the landing page info for the specific reservation ordering status have changed. Obviously. I now don’t have the vertical reserved, ordered, built, shipped details. I’m a 5/20/21 reserve, wave 3 order, production scheduled date of 7/11 but none of that is visible now. I am again as of this push approved for $110k of financing. I’m sure the IT / Technology Developers are scrambling today to fix defects from this release. Might take a few days to clean up the biggest.

Do any reservation holders have no specific trim called out on their reservation page at the moment?

 

[tblches]

My page changed as well. It is correct as far as the trim level that i ordered. The one thing i found interesting is that the place order check box went from in progress to complete and changed from blue to green with a check mark, yet it does not say i was scheduled for production yet or give me a vin through the backdoor code.

MIne also has changed to XLT and I've had no contact with anyone.
