Why is Ford Closing Order Banks and What Does it Mean?

When a Ford order bank is closed, it means that Ford has stopped taking orders due to the high demand for the vehicle. Dealerships cannot place orders for specific models if an order bank has been closed. However, Bill Brown Ford has recently introduced a new process to help customers interested in buying a Ford SUV, truck, or fleet vehicle with a closed order bank. Customers can now reserve their spot on Bill Brown’s priority list “Save Your Spot” to get the best ordering experience possible when Ford starts taking orders for the next model years starting this summer. 

How to “Save Your Spot”

Customers can hold onto their place in line, so they don’t miss out on the rush to order high-demand models. A Bill Brown team member will guide customers through their entire purchasing journey and then help them convert their spot in line into an actual order once Ford starts retaking orders in the coming months. No purchase, commitment, or deposit is required once you are added to the list. It’s that simple! Based on the request’s order, a team member will add your name to the dealership’s priority lists.

Understanding Ford’s Custom Order Process

A custom order is the purchase of a Ford vehicle based on the model and features that the customer desires, which is different from buying directly from the dealer’s inventory. A vehicle must have an open order bank to custom order a Ford. Once an order is placed, Bill Brown Ford will provide customers with updates and resources to track their order. The “Purchase Agreement,” the contract to purchase the vehicle, will be signed at delivery.
