Seems like it's fixed now. I'm now able to choose whether I want to order online or through my dealer. To hijack my own thread... it seems like going through your dealer is the only way to be 100% sure of the final price, is that correct? Ordering online still leaves the door open for them to pull something at the end unless you get a similar PO when placing the order online.
I ordered through my dealer and received a signed buyer‘s order that listed all of the costs out, including any dealer installed options that I wanted. Additionally, I also put a deposit down, even though the dealer did not require it.

My dealer also included my email address on the order so that I should receive progress emails from Ford.

I would do it online, but if you think you will be treated better in person, take that route.

Glad to hear its working again. I got in there on Thursday to order and it gave me some issues but I was able to submit after a restart.

I felt comfortable ordering online.

Technically ordering online should be equivalent with ordering in person. Many of us online orderers went in after submitting online to sign P.O. in person. The dealer "b.s." can come either way regardless of online or in person. Either they try to scam u after you put in your online order, or the try to scam you right there on the spot.

BUT.. don't forget, if you order in person, you will have no access to tracking your order on your ford account. You'll have to rely on the dealer to give you updates.

Lariat ER I think was the largest fraction of planned production, so if that's what you are planning on getting and your reservation has changed to an order you should be safe once they resolve the issues.
