Sorry, not an ignorant salesman person here, Dealership Owner. And I do know this product well. We have 3 orders that were placed in April with this option and all have been scheduled to be built on June 5th. I have also spoken with our Ford Rep and she has indicated that this was the earliest date that any Sport Tracs with this option would be started in our region, the Southwest.
So as to the May, and July dates, I can not answer. I know Ford has been awaiting commodities to free up and it appars at least in our region this option will finally be able to be installed on future builds. June 5th was the date we had always heard in our region.
And I am sorry that your salesman misinformed you. I am sure he is on commission and had incentive to deceive you. He needed the sale for himself and the dealership as they needed to sell you what they had. This is bad business, but unfortunately it is the way many dealerships do business. My understanding is also, that it will not be easy to retrofit. So you are likely stuck without one.
As to Job 2, I did misspeak. It begins July 31st and that is when the Ipod type jack for the entertainment systems will be offered, etc. However the June 5th build date is the first date the PBDLs will be offered.
