At the very least Ford should be able to tell the dealer where the vehicle is and why it isn’t being shipped. Hard to believe this is all just shipping delays. Fast forward one year since this post and it doesn't seem like they even care about getting a Lincoln to customers in a timely manner. My Aviator production date was December 5th, it's been released/awaiting shipment since December 28th, the original ETA was first week of January and the ETA Disposition has been manually adjusted three times since then... to first week of February, then third week of February and now mid March. What could possibly cause a released Lincoln to sit on a ramp awaiting shipment for 2 1/2 months (or maybe longer)? Dealer is only 430 miles from CAP... I could drive it in 7.5 hours.

jpd80 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I've often wondered about those feeding specific vehicles as I've never had the patience to wait, There's always been a special sale or a demo with great price or just what I wanted in stock..

I took delivery this afternoon. This is why I bought from this dealer, Seymour Ford. See Below: Beautiful truck, I'd say definitely worth the wait.

2005Explorer Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Sorry to pull up a two year old thread, but the shipping situation has not improved. I understand Ford isn't totally to blame and rail and trucking logistics are a mess in the US, but as I enter week 3 with my new 2022 Ranger Tremor built and released on March 10th still just sitting at the factory with a status of Delayed - Rail Carrier it's frustrating. There is no communication except for me being able to have a member here check status once a week. Which I really appreciate. The salesman said he has no idea either. It still says ETA April 4th, but that isn't going to happen. If I see it by May I'll be lucky I guess. Anyhow I understand some of this is beyond Ford's control, but if they really want to move to having the majority of customers order vehicles instead of buying dealer stock some improvements need to be made. Both in shipping logistics and communication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both in shipping logistics and communication. It’s possible the status just wasn’t updated and it’s on the way. There isn’t much Ford can do about delivery unless they switch to private trucks which is unbelievably expensive and not an option today. Pre pandemic delivery times were much more constant so let’s hope we make it back to that point. I do expect a new tracking system from the Google partnership. The question is whether it will also be used for non BEVs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least mine comes up in the Ford Order System as Delay - Rail Carrier. Delay - Non-normal event is about as non-descriptive as one can get.

2005Explorer Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) I requested a 2 month lease extension on my 2019. I'm really hoping I see it by May 13th so one month might have been enough, but I am not trusting this shipping process at all. I would think 2 months to get it here after it was built and released should be enough, but maybe not? They said I have 10 days to sign the extension so I am holding off a bit, but looks like I will have to go that route. I was feeling confident I would get it soon when it was scheduled quickly and built without shortages and released. I should have known that this order process never goes smoothly these days. Some step along the way is going to hold you up. It's frustrating, but everything seems to be these days.

2005Explorer Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 My truck finally showed "shipped" on the tracker yesterday evening. It took 35 days to get a rail ride from the factory, but it's finally on the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_27 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Anyone else in this boat from Ontario. Ford Explorer st was built on 03/20/2022. Has been awaiting shipment since.

MFord Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 In the same boat with shipping, unless mine hasn’t been updated on the Ford side… we shall see. Wanting to lock in rates now, but such a toss up if it’ll be here within 30-60 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xraymd Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 OK, now I don’t feel so bad. My Navigator was built 3/30. Lincoln email said ETA April 5-11. Hasn’t even left the factory yet as of today, 4/16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is at Fair Oaks Lincoln as we speak just waiting for the reacquire paperwork to get sorted out. There has to be some sort of commodity issue holding up shipment for you. Your dealer should be able to find out what it is, I would think. Maybe you have posted in the Timeline thread about it, I can't recall.

Dealer doesn’t know what’s up and says it could be a parts hold. Lincoln concierge says it’s produced and waiting to ship. Xraytek22 and I seem to be stuck at the same point in the process. Cyberdman looked up Xraytek22 earlier and the hold up was “Convoy Delay”, so a transportation issue and apparently not a parts issue. But of course, who knows. Communication is terrible. Xraytek22 is in Tennessee, I’m in Ohio. It looks like the rail yard my truck will go to is in SE Michigan. I see you’re in Illinois and someone else in Illinois with either an Expedition or Navigator (I lost track) with a production date after us has an imminent delivery. I don’t know why CSX would be shipping to Illinois and not Ohio or Tennessee, but here we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, it is confusing that both of you are Xray something lol. Not really.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
