duke594 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Will the 2021 Explorer Order Guide still be available on 04/13/2020 for the 2021MY, or has it been delayed due to the shut down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 I'll check on Monday morning and may know more over the weekend if Ford releases a new FDNB (Fleet Distribution News Bulletin) this week which is the source for all the production timetable information.

ice-capades Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 The 2021 Explorer timetable is still the same according to the FDNB that was released yesterday. We'll just have to wait until Monday to see if they release the 2021 Explorer Order Guide but there have been times when an order guide didn't get released on time.

ice-capades Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 The 2021 Explorer Order Guide has not been released either via the FMCDealer.com portal or the Ford Fleet site. Considering the COVID-19 situation and all production and vehicle scheduling suspended, I wouldn't expect the order guide to be available until production and scheduling timetables are updated.

Donaldo Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I"m assuming the order bank is not open yet. Was curious if there are any plans for a USDM release of the Explorer PHEV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonj80 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Looks like some of the features were actually deleted from the Job 2 Explorers even though the order guides don’t reflect it. The Heated wiper park and the auto fold second row headrests are now gone even though the order guild doesn’t show that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
