  1. The eye tracking for blucruise
  2. Yeah but standard Sport versions are bringing a $15-25k premium over sticker price, this will certainly be a limited model. We very well could see our first $200k Escalade.
  3. So how does a dealer stock order (supposedly priority 20-80) receive consideration to schedule ahead of all of these pending customer orders? This is the exact trim and option package that I ordered but getting shipped to California instead, Ford's site even says "Dealer Ordered". To get it sooner than my still unscheduled order I'd have to pay $5000-$10000 over sticker. Ford really is pandering to the dealer network vs the consumer. https://shop.ford.com/inventory/expedition/details/1FMJK2AT9NEA19221?zipcode=90002&year=2022&ownerPACode=05208
  4. $149,990........I knew it would be high but geeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzz
  5. Quite a few of MY22 order banks have already closed or closing very soon. Check the top of each model forum in the next section and it should show 2022 and 2023 order bank information. Expeditions were planned to close mid June with production stopping mid September. Updated to close orders April 29th instead due to backlog of orders.
  6. set all of your normal search criteria like normal but set your 'Radius=100' section to 'Radius=500'. This will open up your distance a lot more, then you only need to search 6-7 major city zip codes to cover the whole US. GM lets you search 2000 miles which from the center of the US covers pretty much every dealer possible. When changing zip codes do it in the search bar address and it will keep all of your other filters intact.

  8. bump for order update check, Black Expedition Limited SPP Order number 7005 Dealer code F52037
  9. August 2019, held up extremely well in the south texas weather over the years.
  10. I had it done on my brand new Kia Stinger GT2, while it might not require a full service paint correction with cutting/polishing it still needed a minor one to take out little imperfections found during the shipping and initial wash the dealer did. I had Ceramic Pro applied with their Gold Package, it carries a claimed "Lifetime Warranty" but is expected to last 5-7 years. I already don't use automatic car washes and it is mostly garage kept so it was a easy investment decision on my part. I paid $1200 which included the paint correction, coating, and taxes/fees. Maintaining the warranty is a yearly visit to their shop for inspection and full detail ($120), paint is still pristine and water beads off like a freshly waxed car. the DIY options won't give you the results and as bbf said it could be more damaging. Wife's used BMW had a diy job done and they left the coating on too long prior to wiping it off in spots. when washed it left a rainbow sheen across the black car. Only fix was a very serious cut/polish to restore the factory finish. We just had her car ppf wrapped with DYNOmatte which was pretty pricy but cheaper than buying new already matte painted.
  11. I''m two weeks behind you on order date, SPP Black. Really hoping we all hear of scheduling this week for June, of not it pushes another month.

  14. Saw a GM ad the other day with the FSD hands off features in their trucks. One part showed it with a double axle travel trailer too.
  15. I’m not an expert but priority over dealer stock orders. In normal conditions retail orders and dealer inventory orders are intermixed, now the backlog on SD’s is high enough only retail customer trucks will be scheduled.
  16. guessing this is stuck in clean not scheduled but figured let’s see if anything else pops up. Order number 7005 Dealer code F52037 thanks for all you do.
  17. I’d guess they are the standard limited/KR/Timberline style seats then just with the platinum color schemes?
  18. John, to get tracking through blue oval forum you must have 15 posts first, it is also not requested on this thread but the Vehicle Locator by Ford Employees sub forum. Good news for you is you have a vin number so it is scheduled at a minimum but you won’t get a better response for now.
  19. Don’t expect compensation in this current market. Say you order an f150 platinum and it has been sitting waiting for chips. Ford ships to your dealer but you refuse delivery since you want compensated for not having those features at delivery. Dealer in turn adds ADM and sells to the next guy who walks in the door telling him “in a couple months we will issue a ‘recall’ to bring it in and add the electronic modules to enable XYZ. Based on various comments it seems the massage/multi adjustment seat controls are a big hold up, RES across multiple suppliers too. I think GM had shortages for one of their fuel efficiency systems even (either cylinder deactivation or the electric air flaps in the grill).
  20. This is great, hopefully the plant can hit normal production levels and stay online for a bit. Latest expedition build to week emails I’ve heard are late April so far so I don’t expect scheduled to production notifications will occur for a few more weeks for those of us still waiting.
  21. Agreed, the depth my Ceramic Pro coating has added to my paint is jaw dropping. Car washes are super simple too with most dirt rinsing off quickly.
  22. They won’t commit to anything but RES issues are a problem with many of the automakers. GM told me it would be 4-6 months before they expect their RES option to be released for production, other shortages and long lead times led us to exploring the ford family instead. For the cost and delay of the RES you could get a couple of iPads and some headphones. With the connected WiFi you get more flexibility even.
  23. Good news is if you join the same day you order you probably won’t take delivery before the 90 day period anyway. This no scheduling for 5 weeks is brutal.
  24. Agreed that it wasn’t all of them but I bet they moved 5-10 truckloads. Not every customer order is on these forums, and I’d guess the dealer inventory is more or less their quality check builds anyway. Saw this when the gladiator came out and dealers were getting lot inventory before the launch editions hit consumer hands.
