How long does it take to get a custom Ford?

The time it takes to get a custom Ford can vary significantly, depending on the specific model, customization options, and production schedule. In general, the process of ordering and receiving a custom Ford can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.


Understanding the Custom Ford Ordering Process


Ordering a custom Ford involves several steps, including selecting the desired model, choosing from a range of available options and customizations, and placing the order with a Ford dealership. The dealership then forwards the order to Ford's production facilities, where the vehicle is built to the customer's specifications.


The time it takes to complete this process can be influenced by factors such as the current demand for the model, the availability of specific parts or features, and the production schedule at Ford's manufacturing plants.


Estimated Timelines for Custom Ford Orders


According to industry experts, the typical timeline for a custom Ford order can be broken down as follows:



  • Order Placement: 1-2 weeks to finalize the order and submit it to the dealership.

  • Production: 4-12 weeks for the vehicle to be built and shipped to the dealership, depending on the model and customization options.

  • Delivery: 1-2 weeks for the vehicle to be transported to the dealership and prepared for delivery to the customer.


In total, the entire process of ordering and receiving a custom Ford can take anywhere from 6 to 16 weeks, with the majority of the time spent in the production phase.


Factors That Can Affect Delivery Times


Several factors can influence the delivery time for a custom Ford, including:



  • Model Demand: Popular models with high demand may have longer production times.

  • Customization Options: Vehicles with more customization options may take longer to build.

  • Production Schedules: Ford's manufacturing plants may have periods of high or low production, affecting delivery times.

  • Supply Chain Issues: Disruptions in the supply of parts or materials can delay production.


Customers who are flexible with their customization choices and willing to wait for their vehicle may be able to get their custom Ford more quickly than those with very specific requirements.
