Ya, it was TBD in Mexico the whole time. Once it finally shipped it moved pretty quickly. When mine reached Agincourt, it was at the dealer 11 days later.
This one has been sitting for 10 days, so I mean it could still be any day I guess.
If you could check it occasionally over the next couple of days, I would actually really appreciate that!
This one had an original dealer ETA of November 23rd and now it's pending a manual update. It could be there awhile but I'll look at it around Thursday.

Dont ask him to track a Lincoln.
Those are easy. They mostly just sit on the lot.

Ya, no kidding, my original order was TBD for two months! lol
Wasn't your other one sitting at the plant the whole time? At least this one is at the rail yard. I can keep an eye on it if you want, unless the fact that it's TBD has already turned you off.

I would be interested in the F-150 with front wheels driven by electric motors. They could assist with initial takeoff and be used for 4 wheel drive. It would also get rid of the IWE vacuum system problems and transfer case parasitic driveline losses.

Sorry. It could ship tomorrow, it could be next week. No way to tell.

Trust me, I grew up with someone working as a Ford Employee...coming across as a disgruntled employee doesn't win anyone any favors, no matter who you work for.
And no the grass isn't greener on the other side either...
I'm not disgruntled. Ford makes some great vehicles. I just don't think Lincoln lives up to what they should be.
Edit: And I think the time, money and resources wasted on Lincoln would be better spent being used on the core Ford products.

The VIN you sent, is that for the vehicle you've been waiting on in this thread, or a different one you've selected to buy?
If it's a different one, you don't have very good luck with vehicles. That car was built on October 24th, shipped on October 27th and arrived at the rail yard in Agincourt, ON on November 24th and has a TBD date to be delivered to the dealer.

which one is closer so I dont have to go out of my way?
Thats the one I go to, I dont care about all of that extra stuff I probably wont use anyway.
That's what I don't understand. I buy a car to drive and be reliable. Lincoln is planning on you coming back to the dealership and how they will treat you when it breaks down? Doesn't that scream "unreliable"?
-
So lets do the math here:
Lincoln differs from Ford in sheetmetal, share or have slightly different engines, improved interiors, (supposedly) different dealership experience. In the grand scheme of things, that really doesn't add much in the costs of developing car.
At the low end-
Escape S-roughly 24K
MKC Premier-$32
A MKC can top out at around $43K an Escape Ti around 33K
So your saying Lincoln is a parasite if you can bring in an average of 8-10K more per unit then a Ford?
If any buyer is paying sticker price for a Lincoln, they are fools and deserve it.
-
Yup, there's many in stock across the province now. I'm already looking into one that is on order at another dealership.
Unfortunately I don't have the requisite 15 posts to make a request in the Order Tracking forum. Would anyone be able to assist in getting the vehicle status if I provide a VIN?
I can help you out. Shoot me a text or just post it here.

I don’t understand why you think Lincoln can’t sell vehicles or can’t make money.
I had a long response typed up and then I realised that you will never look at Lincoln the same way I do. Here's the cliffs: Lincoln is a parasite, Ford is the host.
-
You obviously don’t understand the luxury market. Plenty of people are buying Lincolns and paying a lot for them.
I guess I don't. I would have thought the perfect vehicle experience would have been driving it, not looking forward to something going wrong with it so the dealer can pamper me with Grey Poupon and little cups of coffee you have to stick your pinkie out to drink,.

This is the gimmick of a company with a product nobody wants to buy. Why not invest the money into the product instead?

what about sonar?
Wouldn't the backup sensors be close enough to qualify?
-
Yeah. My friends was fine until he hit 75k, then he lost his TCM. At 96k he needed replacement clutches. He drives from Toledo to Dearborn every day. Stranded him twice on the expressway.2012 Focus. Power shift transmission with original clutch pack and seals. 76,000 miles and it drives fine (really, it does). Disclaimer: 90% of our driving is on the highway. Once the tranny is in 6th gear, it stays there for an extended period (we live in rural northern Michigan), I doubt Id be saying the same thing if I lived in the city.
Good luck to you, but I'd dump it first chance you get. Everybody I know of with a DCT has had problems, and working for Ford I know a lot.

I ordered a 2015 MKC in the spring of 2014 after my MKX was written off when I was rear ended on I-15 going through Las Vegas. I have been pleased with the vehicle particularly the 2.3 Echoboost but the rear seat leg room leaves a lot to be desired. I had decided to buy a 2018 MIX until I saw the specs with no change from 2017. Have recently had 2 test rides in a Volvo SUV and was close to purchasing when info arrived on the 2019 Nautilus. I have seen a number of the features listed but nothing about Heads up Display. I was really taken with this feature on the Volvo and would think with the price being asked for the top of the line Lincoln SUV this would be available
I don't think HUD is an option, but a periscope isn't out of the question.

DDMP(Dearborn Diversified Manufacturing Plant)
Ahhh. The Dump. They just put a lot of money into that plant. I was in there about a year ago about when they were installing the latest hydroform line. Heard things on the production side were good since the lady LL6 went back to Woodhaven.
Good luck. Parts plants are gravy compared to assembly, and DDMP is tough to get out of since they are always adding work.
-
FWIW the problems have been mostly resolved since the end of 2016
Honestly, I don't believe it. Every time they released a revised clutch pack they failed after some mileage was put on them. And the TCM is the original design IIRC. The only thing I think is fixed without a doubt is the oil leak.

Focus scored 13,226 sales last month, that's up almost 45% compared to November last year and quite astonishing.
The more they sell, them more dissatisfied customers they create when the transmission fails.

Only color I would probably take over it would be Lead Foot.

I don't usually get to see the finished product except on the road, but I saw one of these today. I think it looks sharp, except the towing mirrors aren't for me.

Thank you for replying....So theres no way I cant find out about openings? or do I have to wait on them to post? Im at dearborn rouge and the rumor here is once your here your here.
It's hard to leave the Rouge, but not impossible. Because all the separate plants are the same local, usually when one plant has too many people, other plants are adding. You also have to deal with the fact that most of the people on site are from other plants with recall rights.
What plant are you at, exactly?

I still feel bad about that. The mobile version doesn't open a window like the desktop version does. You have to actually look for messages.
