Hey Cyberdman, Just a quick note to say THANK YOU for helping me and everyone else manage the wait. Our car was delivered 12/2 to the dealer, and we took it home on 12/7. It's been a crazy week so I haven't had a chance to post until now but all is good with the car, the wife is loving it and that's all that matters!

Great thanks! If that ETA holds hopefully my next post will be a photo of the car!

Hey Cyberdman, Hope you had a good Thanksgiving! Wondering if there is any info on location or railcar for this one: 5LMYJ8XY0NNL00697 Thanks!

Awesome thanks! Almost out the door... Appreciate all your help tracking this - have a great Thanksgiving!

Hey Cyberdman, Any news on this one? VIN: 5LMYJ8XY0NNL00697 Thanks!

Well that's a good sign I think haha thanks for the update Cyberdman!

Hi Cyberdman, Checking in this week, hopeful for some positive movement VIN: 5LMYJ8XY0NNL00697 Thanks!

Hmm ok, thanks for checking! Will check back in next week :).

Hey Cyberdman, Checking in on this one again: Order: F11R Dealer Code: L14335 VIN: 5LMYJ8XY0NNL00697 Thanks!

Great news, thanks Cyber!

Hey Cyberdman, Checking in on this one as our build week has finally arrived :). Hoping we have a scheduled to day date now? Order: F11R Dealer Code: L14335 VIN: 5LMYJ8XY0NNL00697 Thanks!

Your next step will be to get "Scheduled to Day" and your window sticker will also become available. Since your build is set for next week some time, I believe your window sticker should be going live at some point toward the end of this week. You can also leverage cyberdman on the vehicle locator section of this forum, he can pull the current status of the order as well.

Wooo finally received a VIN and confirmation on build week courtesy of cyberdman in the order tracking subforum. We're scheduled for week of 10/25 currently. Also for those interested in overall timeline now that I can use the order tracking site with our VIN I can see a little more detail, including the fact that the order was in fact submitted on June 16. This was immediately after Ford notified my dealer that the '21 order we had in would be cancelled and to re-order as a '22. However I also know that the order verification (copy of license) was not done until July 30, so not sure how that may have affected order processing/scheduling. Either way, stoked to finally have a date and some movement on the order!

Awesome, thank you @cyberdman really appreciate the service!

Hello, Hoping to get an update on status for our Lincoln Aviator order. Here are the details: Order: F11R Dealer Code: L14335 VIN: 5LMYJ8XY0NNL00697 Thank you!

Agreed! Perfect response from Ford. Though have to say, the heart not centered on the Ford emblem breaks my heart (and my OCD) a little bit lol:

I was under the impression that the "Blend" number was your scheduled build date as well. I'm sure they won't regenerate a window sticker if something happens last minute and the build gets pushed, but I think that at least when the sticker is generated that was the anticipated build date. Either way stoked to see everyone getting their window stickers and '22s finally getting built! Can't wait to see some real life pics when they start landing in driveways, and for our order to move out of unscheduled/clean status (hopefully soon so I can join the window sticker party lol).

That's awesome, congrats! That sticker should be available soon, I think they usually show up either during or right after production.

Ah OK in that context it makes more sense then, I didn't notice the chassis differences. Definitely excited to see what Ford has in the pipe for an electrified three row SUV.

That MME mule that's been spied looks kind of small to be an Explorer/Aviator, no? I thought that was looking more like an electric Corsair. Seems weird to introduce an EV Explorer/Aviator that isn't a full size three-row vehicle like the non-EV models. Then again before the Mach-E the Mustang name had nothing to do with an electric crossover, so I guess anything's possible lol.

Good news all around. Particularly pleased to hear that the plan to send unfinished vehicles to dealers is on hold for now...that sounded like a disaster waiting to happen. Also nice to hear some official confirmation that the Exp/Navi will be getting Hybrid powertrains at some point, though I was hoping we'd see it before the full redesign in a few years.

Not sure on that one, in general after the vehicle is produced it'll get loaded on to a rail car then the time it takes to get to your dealer is just a matter of train transit time plus vehicle carrier availability from the terminal to your dealer. Aviators are produced in Chicago, so it'll be train time from Chicago to Toronto. Maybe someone else who has had a vehicle delivered to Toronto area can chime in with a better time estimate ?.

Next week should be the first week of '22 production. If you're order is scheduled for next week I think your dealer should have info on being scheduled to a specific day early next week.

Good point lol that's always an option too. With Ford's push on electrification and fuel economy and Lincoln's "Quiet Flight" mantra that might be an odd choice, but they are building that engine for something, so I guess we'll find out. There's definitely a market for premium SUV with a big ballsy V8 to go head-to-head with GM's 6.2L in the Escalade.

Agreed. Combined with the fact that they dropped the output by 10hp for 2022, I think the only logical explanation is they had intentions of launching with PowerBoost option but supply chain issues forced them to hold off. Hope we end up seeing the option added sooner rather than later.
