Custom Order Your Next Ford

When most people picture the process of buying a car, they envision going to a car dealership, looking through the inventory, and then choosing one of the models that are physically present on the lot at that time. But with so many different models, trim levels, exterior colors, interior trims, and available tech features, it’s just not feasible for a dealership with a fixed amount of space to keep every conceivable combination on hand, even when you narrow things down to a particular automaker. Look at the F-150 alone, and you’ll find a variety of cab sizes, bed sizes, engines, and more.

Don’t think that you have to settle for a vehicle that’s anything less than perfect just because we don’t have your favorite color in stock on the day you’re shopping. As your Ford dealer in Loganville, we work hard to provide you with as many options as possible. That’s why we give you the chance to custom order your Ford. In this guide, we’ll go over what you need to know about custom orders and why you should consider one the next time you’re buying a car, SUV, or truck.

Custom Orders vs Buying From Stock

When you buy from a dealership’s stock, you’re limited to the options that are here on the lot at a given time. Of course, we work hard to fill our inventory with popular models equipped with desirable features, but each driver has their own unique style, tastes, and needs, and sometimes the exact combination of things you want might not be present on any of the vehicles we have on hand. When you custom order a vehicle, you let the factory know exactly what powertrain, color, trim, and optional features and packages you want so that you can get everything on your wishlist without compromising.

A Thoughtful Process

One advantage to custom ordering is that you’ll be prompted to put more thought into each individual feature. This allows you to weigh the pros and cons of each element of the vehicle, like FWD vs AWD or leather vs cloth seats, and come to a conclusion that you’re confident in. With a big purchase like a car that you’re likely to use every day for years to come, it’s nice to know that every detail is perfect for you.

There might be some features that you wouldn’t even know had multiple options if you didn’t take the time to look through the custom ordering form. In fact, filling one out and building your ideal version of a particular model can be a useful exercise even if you don’t click “submit.” You can use it to see all of the different available trims, features, and powertrains and decide which ones are your favorites. Then, when you get to the dealership, you can look for a model that’s as close to your custom-built vehicle as possible. If you find something that’s either just right or close enough, you can get it right away, and if not, then you can go back to the custom order page and follow through.

You Can Do It Online

Here at Loganville Ford, we do everything we can to make our dealership a welcoming environment where you can relax and have a stress-free experience, but nothing will ever quite beat the comfort and privacy of your own home. When you do a custom order, coming into the dealership to see vehicles in person and take a test drive can still be part of the process, and you can order through us here, but you can also order the truck through a convenient portal on our website. Once your vehicle arrives at the dealership, we can even schedule a time to deliver it right to you for extra convenience.

How Do I Custom Order a Ford?

Whether you’re looking for an F-150 or a new Ford Bronco Sport, all you have to do is simply visit the Custom Order page on our website and choose the model that you want to get started. Once you click on that, you’ll arrive at an easy-to-follow page that walks you through the process of customizing your vehicle, laying out all of the different options that you have to choose from. After you’ve submitted your order, one of our team members will contact you to verify the details, let you know about potential incoming stock that lines up with what you’re looking for, and arrange to submit your order to Ford. Once your vehicle has been assigned a VIN, you’ll be able to track its progress using Ford’s vehicle order tracking site.

Is There an Extra Cost for Custom Ordering?

You might think that custom ordering would have an extra charge since the service gives you such a high degree of personalization, but Ford doesn’t charge extra for customer orders, so you don’t have to worry about getting stuck with a fee. Custom order vehicles are also eligible for any qualifying dealership incentives, either at the time of order placement or at the time of final delivery, whichever is preferred. So you don’t have to miss out on any of our seasonal deals or sales.

What Kinds of Vehicles Can Be Custom Ordered?

Just about any Ford can be custom-ordered. From SUVs and passenger cars to trucks and cargo vans, you don’t have to settle for an off-the-rack Ford, no matter what body style you’re looking for. However, sometimes models will temporarily be unavailable due to factors like supply chain issues, high demand, and production schedules. Generally speaking, custom orders are only available for the latest model year of a particular vehicle, of course. You can check our website to see which models are currently available for custom order and if you have any specific questions, you can always give us a call, and we’ll be happy to give you all of the information you need.

However You Choose to Buy, Loganville Ford Is Here for You

At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference. If you have your heart set on a particular color or feature package that we don’t currently have in stock, then custom ordering is a dream come true. But if you’re not too picky or are in a time crunch and need to get your new vehicle ASAP, then it’s probably going to be better for you to choose from the vehicles that we have in stock. Either way, we are here to help you choose a vehicle that’s going to make you happy mile after mile.

Our friendly and knowledgeable sales team can show you all of the vehicles that we have on the lot right now, and it’s possible that one of those will be exactly right for you, right down to the paint. If you do choose to custom order, our team members can answer any questions you may have about particular features or trim levels. While some of them are fairly simple, others are a little more complicated, and not everyone is a car person. We’re ready to meet you where you’re at, whatever your automotive experience is, and help you understand anything you think will be helpful to know so that you can make an informed decision.

So whether you’ve decided that custom ordering is the only way to go or you think you’ll be able to find the right vehicle on-site, contact us today. You can contact us online, give us a call, or drop by in person. We’ll be happy to get you behind the wheel of a quality vehicle and make you a part of our Loganville Ford Family.
