Found out today there are a few different stop ships from minor problems found in the normal quality check process. There was a little bit of a back log at the plant but they are just about done and should be totally caught up next week. GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!! The guys and gals on the Explorer team are working hard to get the vehicle to the customer trouble free!!

Dealers like that is what gives us good dealers a bad name.....

Said today that not all units were on hold and that is a few things.

A Ford rep called me last night because I have so many retail orders in the order bank and said... {I have some bad news. Explorer is on hold. i said thats not good. He said thats not the bad news.... Ok whats the bad news? It could be as much as 6-8 MORE WEEKS!!!} Now we were talking about units already built and in transit. He said he was checking on units at the ramp for 2 weeks and this is what he found. I have 16 SOLD retails do in by month end that are built. So I have no idea what is going on. I just want to have a halfway intelligent answer when my customers ask why there Explorer thats built with dealer ETA's of now are still 2 months out.

I just got word that my 2011 Explorer orders are once again on hold and could be an added 6-8 weeks on top of the 8-10 weeks that they take. I have 24 SOLD retail orders a few of them came in already. Anyone know why they are on hold and when they will be shipped?

I thimk it may have been due to the fact it was a demo unit. The in car MFT I have been useing is seemless

Oh yeah and i would NOT pay more... Way more for an Edge then a fully loaded EB Lincoln MKS. I also am 31. Its not and old man car. Base car in gold maybe just maybe. Other then that it get a ton of looks and "hey sharp car dude" Go for it.

MKS FTW. Im in one now and LOVE IT!!!!! In the last 2 years have had 2 Edge (I know not the 2011) 2 2010 Fusion Sport 1 Milan and now the MKS and it is a GREAT GREAT car you will LOVE IT!!

Your wrong. The price paid does include dealer install. Its paid on your dealer parts statement. Now calm down.

I saw the final unit in Detroit at the delaer show. If only for about 60 seconds. Anyway it has zero Freestyle/Taurus X vibe. It is WAY HOT! I will be among the first in line to replace the wife Taurus X. They say the inside is knocked out. We were not able to get close to it. It was on stage. Cant wait..... :happy feet:

The tail lights do look very good on the final Explorer. I did not expect the shape. They kinda flair out at the top. Overall I was very happy with it. Ride height is good to. Not too low.

I also drove both and saw the eco dyno'ed. The 5.0 in the F150 is KICK ASS!!!!! Sounds so sweet!!!!! And they say the eco will also be avaliable with the max tow pkg. 11,000 towing with a V6. It pulls hard!!! :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet:

Total Ford NUT here. I never knew about this car til today....... AIV

No prob. Not sure why I am getting so much joy outa seeing Toyotas tail spin in the news day after day after day!!!! :shades:

*******and stops for you!!********
