I thought it was a glitch at first myself, as did my dealer. When I asked the concierge, they were clueless. Finally my dealer verified that it is, in fact, the case, and you can see it reflected in the order guide. Makes no sense to me, but I guess it does to somebody.

So I have my order placed. The really odd thing about what they've done is that the "Atmospheric" theme on the BL is now option 801A, and is only available on the L model. It also includes special wheels (which didn't sound impressive to me). So since I didn't want the L, I had to forego that theme and go with one of the other 2. Really bizarre.

It appears that they have made some changes to the package codes, and it's confusing everyone. Hopefully we can get the order guide soon to clear things up so I can get my order into the system. Even the folks at the Lincoln Concierge were clueless, and told me to talk to my dealer.

Yes, that's the site I'm on, but it doesn't work, especially for the Black Label. If you select a black label non LWB, it automatically selects option code 801A, which is for the L model. It also does not allow you to select an interior theme unless you specifically pick the LWB model.

I received a call from my dealer today. The order bank just opened. There is a build and price out there for it, but it doesn't work very well, especially for the black label. Hopefully can get my hands on an order guide soon.

I believe they were discontinued. It was switched over to an app-based thing, then they decided to make it an employees-only deal, so we retirees got shut out. The only thing we have available now is the "at ford" website pages. Nice, huh?

So the official "unveiling" is tomorrow in Pebble Beach. I have been told that the order bank is not expected to open until October, with initial deliveries expected in March.

Anyone have any info on the '25 Navigator order bank, order guide or schedule?

Snagged a copy of the 24 order guide. Admins feel free to post in the guide section. 2 new colors (Eruption Green and Glacier Gray), while Space White and Carbonized Gray were deleted. Only really significant change is that the panoramic roof on the Premium is now optional. 2024 Mustang Mach-E Order Guide.pdf

Thanks. Interesting. Looks like we salaried retirees are blocked as well.

Any chance that we'll see the '24 order guide posted soon? B&P is already open, but I'm not seeing the order guide on any sites.

My nephew is looking to order a Bronco, and the dealership he typically works with says they will not be able to place an order for him until 2nd quarter 2024. While I get that the '23 order bank is likely already full and he'll have to order a '24, that seems a bit off. Is the order backlog on Broncos really that bad, or is the dealership blowing smoke? Any insiders here know approximately when we're likely to see the '24 order bank open?

The new colors just now appeared on the Lincoln Product Portfolio website, and the new red is now called "Diamond Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat". This does not look AT ALL like the Diamond Red Tri-Coat color that was featured in the Youtube video from the LA Auto Show. The one in the video is REALY red, whereas the picture from the product portfolio site looks more candy apple-like. I wonder which one is the real deal, and if they modified it and hence changed the name. Anyone out there have any inside scoop?

Trying to be proactive as my '21 Aviator comes off lease in November. Does anyone have any info on when the '23 Build & Price will be brought up on the Lincoln site? Also, there are 2 new colors for '23, Diamond Red Tri-Coat(C9) and Jewel Sandstone Premium Colorant (AG). Both sound intriguing, but I'd like to see what they look like. Has anyone seen these yet, and is there a place where I can get a look?

It's actually not about differences between MY's. I leased a 2016 MKX in October of '16, and wound up with a much higher lease payment because the residual value at the end of the lease period was considerably less. In Ford Credit's eyes the car was a year old when I drove it off the lot, and 3 years old at the end of the 2-year lease. In 2018 I turned that car in for a 2019 Nautilus and my lease payment was $100 less. I fear the same scenario if I take delivery of a '22 Navigator in December.
