Prior to submitting an Inquiry, please refer to the VSO Options in the Order Guide on FMC
Dealer, Fleet.Ford.com, or the CONCEPS VSO Equipment Trailer ‘help screen’ to determine if
the desired option is already available. For F650-F750 and LCF, please access CTT.
OVERVIEW
•
To determine if a special option may be developed, an Inquiry must be submitted. An
Inquiry is a request sent to Ford Motor Company to see if an option that is not currently
available may be developed.
•
The procedure for submitting Inquiries for F650-F750 Super Duty and LCF differs from that
of other vehicle lines. See last section of this document for details of this procedure.
• 2-Step Inquiry process:
Step 1: Submit Inquiry via CONCEPS
Step 2: View Inquiry reply via web-based VSO Inquiry System within
approximately two business days
MINIMUM ORDER REQUIREMENTS
•
Minimum unit requirements for newly developed options will be determined by engineering
on an individual basis.
INQUIRY REVIEW PROCESS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
VSO Inquiries are reviewed for complexity and feasibility.
An Inquiry reply notification is provided via e-mail within approximately 2 business days.
The e-mail notification contains a hyperlink to the Inquiry Reply screen located within the
web-based VSO Inquiry System.
The response includes engineering feasibility, minimum unit requirements, estimated option
availability timing, and pricing.
If the terms communicated in the reply are acceptable to the customer, new option
development will proceed once orders are submitted with special option code ‘VSO’.
Special option code ‘VSO’ must be added to the VSO Trailer Information screen (by the
dealer) which places the order on hold in the order bank while the requested option(s) are
developed. Special option development may take approximately 14 to 30 days.
When engineering development is complete, dealers are asked to provide the Vehicle
Special Order team authorization to add the new special option code to their orders.
The dealer may cancel the Inquiry at any time via the VSO Inquiry System. To do this click
on the Cancel Inquiry button on the Inquiry Reply screen. Otherwise, Vehicle Special Order
will close/cancel the Inquiry when the process is complete.
