When it comes to buying a new vehicle, why settle for what’s on the lot when you can build one that’s perfect for you? Custom ordering your Ford gives you the freedom to choose everything from the trim level and paint color to the technology and accessories you’ll use every day. At Capital Ford of Lillington, we make the process simple and stress-free so you can drive home in a vehicle that truly fits your lifestyle.
Here’s a step-by-step look at how to custom order your Ford in Lillington, NC.
Why Custom Order Your Ford?
Custom ordering is the best way to make sure you get exactly what you want without having to compromise. Instead of hoping the right vehicle arrives at the dealership, you can:
Choose your trim and features
Whether you want luxury leather seats, advanced towing technology, or off-road packages, the choice is yours.
Select your color and style
Pick the paint, wheels, and interior design that match your taste.
Pay for what you want
No extra cost for features you won’t use.
Save time
Skip searching multiple lots and waiting for “the right one” to show up.
At Capital Ford of Lillington, our team helps you navigate all the options so the process is smooth from start to finish.
Step 1: Choose Your Ford Model
The first step is picking the right Ford model for your lifestyle. Ford’s lineup has something for everyone:
- Trucks: F-150, Super Duty, Ranger, Maverick – great for towing, hauling, or outdoor adventure.
- SUVs: Escape, Explorer, Edge, Expedition, Bronco – perfect for families, road trips, or off-road fun.
- Cars & Performance: Mustang, Mustang Mach-E – iconic style and exciting performance.
Not sure which model fits your needs? Our sales team at Capital Ford of Lillington can help you compare options and find the one that checks all your boxes.
Step 2: Pick Your Trim, Engine & Drivetrain
Every Ford model comes with different trim levels, each offering unique combinations of features, materials, and styling. For example, the Ford F-150 lineup ranges from the rugged XL work truck to the luxurious Platinum.
From there, you’ll select the engine and drivetrain:
- Engine choices vary by model and may include EcoBoost®, V8, PowerBoost™ hybrid, or diesel options.
- Drivetrain options include front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and 4x4, depending on your vehicle needs.
This step is where you start shaping your Ford to fit your driving style.
Step 3: Customize the Details
Here’s where the fun really begins—building out the details. With Ford’s custom order system, you can choose from a wide range of features:
Exterior:
Select your paint color, wheel style, cab size or body style, bed length, and special appearance packages (such as Black Appearance or Sport packages).
Interior:
Choose seat materials (cloth or leather), interior colors, premium trim, and convenience features.
Technology:
Upgrade to SYNC® 4 with navigation, add Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver-assist features, or choose premium audio systems.
Accessories
Add-on items like bedliners, cargo racks, floor liners, or trailer hitches for extra utility.
With so many options available, your Ford will feel uniquely yours the moment it arrives.
