2026 Ford Retail Sweep Program

What is the Retail Sweep Program?

The retail sweep program allows dealers to earn incremental allocation and a 01 priority code just by having verified retail orders in the order bank. 

All retails MUST be verified. If the idea of processing COVP gives you heartburn, don’t worry.  This time, all you do is check a box in WBDO that the order is legit, and you are done.

Participation

To maintain eligibility, dealers must keep a 75% name match in the prior six months.  Name match means the ordering customer and the selling customer are the same and starts for units scheduled after January 20^th, 2026.  If a dealer falls below 75%, they are suspended for the rest of the calendar year.

The U300 retail sweep is separate from this new program and continues.

How does it work?

Every month during wholesale, the lowest priority code verified retail orders (the oldest in case of a priority code tie) will be given a 01 priority code— only one retail per vehicle line per month and up to eight over six months. There is no limit on Mach E.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 01 priority codes provide front-of-the-line scheduling each week and don’t require allocation to schedule.  Extra allocation won’t be granted separately as part of this program. If you already have allocation, the 01 will still help the order schedule faster, but you don’t get extra allocation.  If you don’t have allocation, the unit will still schedule. Ford’s EFC doesn’t explain this well.

Exclusions

All Ford vehicle lines are eligible except F-150 Raptor, Ranger Raptor, and Mustang Dark Horse. 

Edge/Escape Enhancement

If any customer with an Edge or Escape purchase since 2019 places a new retail order, it will receive a 01 priority within two weeks, excluding Expedition, Super Duty, Transit, and specialty.
