FORD told me to Cancel my Blue Oval!

[RickLightning]

Ford "urged" many of the dealers to put these vehicles into the FCTP program (what we are calling mannequins) so they could count it as a "sale". This would obviously skew the quarterly sales numbers if all of these Lightnings were in FCTP and had to stay there for 6 months.

And buying one does in fact mean you have purchased a "used truck" even though it had never been registered to the dealer as the first owner. That's why for all of you with former mannequins your warranty has been extended a bit longer than those who ordered and took delivery of "new" trucks.

As noted, the dealer had to pay to add 6 months to the warranty, making it a 42 / 42,000 mile warranty. Some did, some did not.

But it wasn't done to count it as a sale IMO, it was done so people could see and touch and drive it.

I got mine extended and recently purchased an ESP from Granger without problems. I wonder why you can't, did someone tell you that it wasn't eligible?

I went ahead an ordered a plan online with Granger. We will see if they process it this time

My dealer GM and sales manager were the ones that told me Ford wanted them to use the FCTP program so it would be counted as a sale. I wouldn't have known that if they hadn't brought it up in conversation when discussing my '23 GT mannequin.

I ordered off the website as well, a few days later I was good to go. I keep mulling over asking if I can add the LED lights add-on after the fact.

Yeah. That is the one add on I did on the other truck and this one as well

Thanks for the tip
Got the email today that it processed and it is already in the FORD Pass app. Glad they figured that out.
