The wait stinks, but it is worth it when you get the vehicle.

Okay, thanks! And, that is two, and you and I have chatted here in the past, positive reviews. I git my Navigator on April 22. I have yet to clay bar it or anything. I'll have to check out this product and get to clay barring.

Is that a Turtle Wax product?

At night and when approaching the vehicle. Welcome lighting.

Yes, and I find that running the system in AUTO works best. It takes all the various inputs and adjusts everything accordingly, including keeping the windows from fogging up. In my 2020 and now 2022, I never once have had foggy windows as the system magically does everything.

You did not mention if you run it in AUTO, but if so, this is what bbf was referring to. You can press the button to go from one to three lines, indicating max fan speed in AUTO.

There was a finite number of oil changes in 2019, I just can't find it. Ask the dealer to show you the details of the 2019 Premium Maintenance Plan that was applicable.

Not sure if you mean the file is too large, but if so, whatever computer you are on, you should be able to adjust the size of the photo to reduce it to the max MBs.

As to the abrupt braking if someone goes in front of you and the slight speeding up if you change lanes, I was in a Subaru rental last week, and it did the same exact things. Maybe ice-capades or a kirby know, are these proprietary to Ford or made by a company and sold to all the manufacturers? Guessing the latter. The symbology on the steering wheel controls is typically the same in various vehicles I have seen.

I'm sorry, she didn't know.

I read it either somewhere on this forum or another. Let me put it this way. I don't see it as a big deal. I have had my 2022 since April 22. I have opened the hood maybe 3 times. I didn't cry when it wasn't there. Lol

Some people say it is for cost cutting. I don't know where they get that first-hand information since Ford/Lincoln says they removed the covers due to problems caused by excess heat inside the engine because of the covers. Is Ford just flat out lying? Aren't there groups out there that would just pounce on that sort of thing? So, do we believe the people we trust to build the vehicles we love and purchase or anonymous interwebs folks? The choice is yours. Either way, no more appearance covers. Also, it is hard to imagine that Ford/Lincoln would skimp on something that I think is very low cost on vehicles at these price points. If they are being cheap, is there not another way to go about being cheap?

Okay, I just asked my salesperson who I got my 2022 from. She has been around. She confirms that for now it is true that the hands-free feature on the lift gate is not being installed. So, apologies for my previous comment about bad dealer info.

Agree, another case of bad dealer info. I like the hands-free lift gate. It was very intermittent and difficult to get to work on my 2020, but it works nearly flawlessly on my 2022, and I find myself using it a good amount of the time. No big deal if I didn't have it, but I bet your dealer is wrong. Shocking, I know.

There is a lot of information throughout this forum describing the allocation process at dealerships. When you say other with the same build are getting their vehicles before you, is that from your same dealer? There is also priority codes within the dealer allocation. I'm sure there are reasons that may not be easy to understand but would explain these things. As far as incomplete vehicles, again, I am pretty sure other manufacturers are doing the same thing. When the chips become available, they will install the "missing" feature(s).

While there are legitimate gripes to be had across the industry with respect to service, etc., people continuing to cry about production delays just defies logic. Why do people think Ford is delaying production? That is what I get from the types of threads and post like this thread. Why people think it is only Ford is beyond me. If a Kia is so great, I wonder why this person didn't buy one of them in the first place.

Good video overall. Also funny that they both prefer the Navigator and tout the $15k lower cost. Then the dad says to people who can afford these that probably doesn't matter. Then they say the Caddy has higher resale. Well, again, to people who can afford these, who cares? I know I really don't.

Pretty funny all the complaints on this forum about lack of engine cover and more engine noise, and these guys are crying that the Nav engine is LESS noisy than the Cadillac.

Thus my insistence on the use of the word "think" haha! Thanks!

I think it stands for Vehicle Visibility Report, what dealers call a "Vincent". I think. Your dealer would know what that means, though, if you asked to see it. The dealer should give you more than, "It's on hold." Edit: Somehow I missed @Jerry52's reply explaining what a VVR is.

Wow. Well, I would say the 13 is probably the total number if you figure an average MSRP just under $80k. Odd to say a million dollars worth of vehicles. Nonetheless, imagine being one off the people waiting for months for a truck and this happens.

Hey, you also answer in Australian on Mercedes forums? Multi-tasking.

I understand the frustration. I have posted many times the last couple years ago about my disappointment with Lincoln, at times. They made it right by buying back my 2020. I just think, whether you like the replies or not, calling someone an a-hole is not going to help you out. I hope you get your vehicle sooner than later.

I enjoy akirby's knowledge and comments around here. I don't understand how posting on here hoping for communication from Lincoln is going to achieve that, but then the underlying tone is that Lincoln doesn't know what its' doing. The irony is that posting on an anonymous forum is a bad way to communicate with Lincoln. If you get the commodity issues, then why don't you also get that Lincoln and other manufacturers are doing their best to communicate, whether you think so or not? And, name calling just makes the majority of posters who didn't just join to bitch about Lincoln is very unseemly. Maybe I am just an a-hole, too.

Have y'all seen "Fight Club"? The scene in Lou's Tavern where Tyler Durden gets beaten to a pulp and he says, "I'm still not gettin' it." This reminds me of that scene.
