New Production Scheduling Updates Announced

There are five key scheduling announcements that were recently announced by Ford Motor Company.  If you have a new Ford vehicle on custom order this announced will most likely effect the production timeline of your vehicle.  Customers who ordered from Gresham Ford will be hearing from your Sales and Leasing Specialist with a custom update specifically for you

2021 Ford Transit Production Update

Ford has chosen to close the 2021 model year Ford Transit production.  Orders moving forward will be transitioned to the 2022 model year.  Again our team is ready to answer any custom ordering questions that may arise in your journey to a new Ford work van. 

F-150 Diesel Engine

The 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel engine option will be removed from the F-150 custom order availability.  Customers are overwhelmingly selecting our EcoBoost V6 gasoline engines and the all-new 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid engine.  If you are wanting to purchase one of the few remaining diesel powered F-150 trucks please reach out to Gresham Ford directly.  Our award winning team of Customer Service Experts will work to make your car-buying experience a great one.  Gresham Ford is a no-hassle, pressure free zone. 

Due to the global semiconductor shortage and desire to maximize production in order to meet customer demand, 2021 F-150 orders for the 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel engine will be acceptted by Ford Motor Company through Friday, July 16, 2021.

2022 Super Duty Tremor Trucks

Effective immediately Ford will not build any more 2022 SuperDuty Tremor trucks.  If your custom order has been assigned a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) you are only of the lucky few to purchase a 2022 Ford SuperDuty Tremor.  For those who have or plan to submit their custom orders for a 2022 model year Super Duty, you will need to choose another trim level before your truck will be produced by Ford Motor Company.

2022 Superduty with Adaptive Steering

Ford has announced that they will not be scheduling the following  2022 model year Super Duty configurations:

  • Lariat With Adaptive Steering
  • Platinum With Adaptive Steering
  • Limited

If you don’t want to wait to get your Ford Custom Order Super Duty built and delivered consider removing Adaptive Steering from your order.  If you have submitted your truck order with Gresham Ford you can expect to hear from your Sales and Leasing Expert.  They will review all of your options and expected production timelines. 

Custom Order Production Updates

Whenever possible Gresham Ford updates customers when changes are made that will affect the production and delivery timeline of their custom ordered Ford.  Choosing to custom order your new Ford vehicle is the next generation of car buying.  The days of visiting multiple car dealerships searching for the make and model vehicle you want with the options that are most important are behind you.  Often times you were forced to compromise on the features you really wanted.  That is one of the biggest advantages to custom ordering a ford vehicle.  Getting the features and trim that you want without the ones you don’t saves you time and money. 

Ford Custom Order Production

It can be a little stressful making a big purchasing decision like buying a car.  The wait can be difficult too.  Waiting to take delivery of your new Ford vehicle is helped when the Gresham Ford Sales and Leasing Specialists keep you updated on the progression of your vehicle through the production process with Ford Motor Company.
