They can't sell your order from what I understand. The dealer needs to accept the order in their system for Ford. If you don't have it accepted yet, call them or stop in.Hii yall, been reading thru multiple points and thanks everyone for compiling all the useful information. But I'm still scratching my head, do I need to actively contact the dealer otherwise they will just sell my order? I haven't received any update from either Ford or the dealer I chose

Your dealer was right, I got the invite today.I got the call from my dealer on Tuesday as well and they had 8 Lariat ERs and I was one of them. He told me he couldn’t do the order I would have to wait until for emailed me “in the next two weeks”. I’m thinking next week as well.
Clarification of terminology, last year you placed a RESERVATION, for which you are waiting to place and ORDER, did you place an ORDER in the past 3 hours?The status hasn't moved since I complete the reservation. I will try to make couple calls. Thank you for the reply!
My bad, I revised my original post. I never placed an actual order as my status hasn't moved or allowed me to do that. I was just wondering if I have to actively pursue it or the reservation allocation can be sold to someone else by the dealer even if an actual order wasn't placed by me.Clarification of terminology, last year you placed a RESERVATION, for which you are waiting to place and ORDER, did you place an ORDER in the past 3 hours?
Call your dealer, remind them they need to ~ACCEPT~ your order proposal
Ford allocates builds to the reservationists who are associated with the dealer with un fulfilled allocation.My bad, I revised my original post.

Or the reservations simply doesn't allocate anything to the dealer, until an actual order is placed thru.
If understand you ...... you're stuck with an 8k ADM ~~IF~~ you committed the 500$ depositGot a phone call from my dealer as well. The order link said the dealer put on a $8K Markup. I can’t change dealers now can I if I want this order? O just saw the post from GDN on page 10, gonna give corporate ford a call.
Makes sense, and finally a salesman who knows enough about reservation found mine. It's like 200+ at the dealership's line lol. I guess I will see yall in 2024 hahaFord allocates builds to the reservationists who are associated with the dealer with un fulfilled allocation.
SO assuming you are on the outside looking in, all the folks who are placing orders right now will have first rights to complete the purchase on delivery, if they decline to complete the purchase, then the dealer can sell the build to anyone, including your for the right price.
