Anyone have a '22 GT order with a VIN and date yet? Our order went in back in mid-June but haven't heard a peep since. Checked with the dealer after seeing a bunch of folks get scheduled but they said no update yet unfortunately. If you have your order number and VIN number, you can go to the Lincoln vehicle order tracking site to check the status. Your dealer can provide the order number and VIN number and perhaps even tell you if your vehicle has been scheduled. I ordered a Corsair Grand Touring on July 5. According to my dealer it is to be built the week of September 6. The website shows my order has been secured and shows the VIN but it doesn't show any other status. My understanding is it won't update until just prior to the build. https://shop.lincoln.com/vehicle-order-tracking#/status Edited August 18, 2021 by RedHoncho01 correct spelling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link though, I've saved that for once I do get a VIN! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SzymekSmack Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I ordered mine in June, dealer says the production date is in August. The Lincoln tracking site shows the same thing for me as you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleV Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Anyone get any updates about production. Okay was told last month that the truck would go into production this week but my dealer is now completely quiet with no updates. I did have the order number and vin but not able to track on Lincoln site since in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Any thoughts to timeline from production date to delivery at dealer? Located in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ?.

aviator47 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I have a 2022 Aviator Reserve with order accepted 5/8. It was scheduled for production week of 10/4 and changed to 9/6. Today I used the track my vehicle from the email I received. It now says your vehicle is in production at one of our plants and says use link to see sticker. The sticker is not available yet but hopefully the car is either in production or getting close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same issue where the window sticker isn’t available yet even though the site says to check it out. Our salesman said that the window sticker does not usually become available until just after the vehicle is completed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some googling, I believe the build date is 8/31. According to some sites, you can see the build date in the bottom center box with “SPECIAL ORDER” as the last 6 digits listed. I'm going to the dealer on Friday to get service on my Edge and will check to see if the Lincoln dealer system shows any updated dates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as an FYI - Build dates are not listed on the window sticker. The dates listed on the sticker are simply various administrative dates of no importance to the prospective owner. Generally, (pre-pandemic), if a sticker just became available last night, the vehicle would normally be produced in the following 2-10 days. But again, that was pre-pandemic, so "normal" is still not normal yet. Good luck. Edited September 2, 2021 by bbf2530 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm wonder if that will get bumped a day or 2 heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alviator Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I also received my sticker, website still has the build week of 9/6 if that holds true the next hurdle will be waiting for delivery. Mine says Convoy so probably another 3 or 4 weeks from Chicago to Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviator47 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I just received my sticker as well. Blend date is 9/6. Guessing shipping is by truck. Says Convoy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alterbridge86 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviator47 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Order tracking for my 2022 Aviator Reserve popped up estimated delivery date today of 10/8. Production date was scheduled for 9/6. Shows no progress for production but dealer says tracking system says Stage 2 production. Order accepted 5/8 and originally scheduled for 10/4. Changed to production for week of 9/6. Progress!

aviator47 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Not sure what dealer meant. Just happy to see status from tracking says being built in one of our factories. Also glad to see them add an estimated delivery date today. Dealer shows tracking system shows shipping between 10/2 and 10/8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exit32 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I ordered my 2022 Aviator on March 30. Since then, I have been tracking order status to the best of my ability and with the assistance of cyberdman here at Blue Oval Forums. According to cyberdman's most recent order-status update, "It says it was scheduled to start production on 09/07, but that is it, nothing more yet. It doesn't say it was started even." This morning, I checked status online and discovered that expected delivery is now October 9, but there's still no indication this Aviator has been produced. My situation is similar to that of aviator47 in the post above. Perhaps there's a communications glitch between the Chicago Assembly Plant and the Lincoln order-status system? FWIW, here's a summary of my order status and timeline thus far: 30-Mar-2021: Order confirmed via e-mail from Lincoln 30-Jun-2021: In Order Processing - Unscheduled - Clean Mar-30-2021, 13:58 EDT 26-Jul-2021: Confirmed no change in status 29-Jul-2021: Scheduled for production week of 27-Sep-2021 (e-mail from Lincoln) 29-Jul-2021: Assigned VIN: 5LM5J7XC4NGLxxxxx 05-Aug-2021: Production week changed to week of 06-Sep-2021 (e-mail from Lincoln) 01-Sep-2021: Window sticker generated 01-Sep-2021: Blend date assigned; production scheduled for 07-Sep-2021 10-Sep-2021: Order status now indicates expected delivery on 09-Oct-2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
