ohsown Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Our dealer notified me the order ( Canadian ) I placed with him the morning of Sept. 20, priority # 16 is confirmed and VIN supplied, scheduled for Nov. 8 build with an eta at his dealership Nov. 22. Now my buddy that got me x plan pricing ordered exact same vehicle, Rapid red ltd. Tow pkg. Start stop delete but sandstone interior to my black, ordered his that same day but in the afternoon priority 17. Confirmed order VIN issued same build date Nov. 8 but is eta'd at the dealership a week earlier on Nov. 15. It will be interesting to see how things unfold.

ohsown Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Tried Ford vehicle order tracking site to find my order was showing in "production" mode and had a surprise bonus of the window sticker being available. Hopefully the build starts soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st8 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Lucky you! Maybe Canada orders are quicker. I also have a ST on order. Seems like you ordered the 2.3L? I say that because that engine configuration is the only to get the auto start stop deleted on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, looks like all previously scheduled 2022's were pushed back a week. Job 1 changed from 11-1 to 11-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job 1 changed from 11-1 to 11-8 Yeah unfortunately. Not terribly surprised though. I wonder how long it takes once production to get to the dealer.

ohsown Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Well my buddy e-mailed to let me know his explorer that window stickered Nov. 2nd, showed on Ford Vehicle order tracking as being built this past Friday Nov.12. I think that's pretty respectable. Mine, stickered Nov. 3rd, not yet. So will this be a blue Monday or will Ford turn a frown upside down. Now as mentioned in first couple of posts, above the dealer originally said his was supposed to be delivered to dealer Nov. 15 and mine Nov. 22. I'm not sure if that means "the week of" or not.

ohsown Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Ford order tracker shows mine built Nov. 14, awaiting shipment. Expected delivery Nov. 26 and my buddies is Nov. 24. I told him I was pretty sure they would hold the carrier for me. Less than an 8 hour run away now. Winter tires and wheels waiting. I tell ya I'm going to miss the Lexus GS !

ohsown Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Further investigation shows both vehicles delivered to dealer Friday Nov. 19. Being a small town dealership service only is open today, Sat. Until noon. Looks like a short drive monday to drop off my new wheels to get the snows mounted and installed prior to pickup. 2 months from order to drop at dealership in the midst of all thats going on is pretty impressive!

Wait so how long did it take from “shipped” to arrival at dealership? Mine shipped 11/19 and they’re telling me 12/5-12/11. Going to PA.

ohsown Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 I dont know yhe actual date shipped as the order tracker shows no ship date. But the built date of Nov. 14 (which then showed a 26th delivery) Then arrived on the 19th on the same truck as his. I believe it showed shipped on 15 or 16. Also by truck from Chicago to our dealer is less than 8 hours. Their suggested delivery dates allow lots of room for unknown delays. Also their delivery date may mean from the dealer to customer after dealer prep. I bet your vehicle will be in PA long before what they show. My friend took the 10 minute drive to the dealer and saw ours and and also a black LTD on the lot. Did his inspection ( they were perfect) and snapped some photos to send me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty surprising to see an LTD on the lot since they haven't been made for 30+ years! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st8 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Ok thanks. Yeah my build date was 11/16. The tracker doesn’t show a date for the ship date either but I received the shipped email confirmation on 11/19. it’s a 11hr drive from the plant to my dealer. well I hope you’re right! So excited to finally get this vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had a 1976 for a winter beater. Always liked the style of most "LTD's" , nice interiors too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsown Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Picked up the new ride Nov. 26, so just over a week of driving and settling in. A big technology change from 2014 when we bought our last one and that is a learning curve. Some of this I will never use. Burnt some gas idling in the driveway figuring it out but I know some refreshers will be required by the time I need the cruise control and the adaptive part I have a brake and gas pedal that has always worked for me. Only a half tank of gas used at this point and only one minor irritation, being the rear window washer, when activated the blade makes a pass before the washer fluid hits the glass. Not the best on mud sprayed glass. Thats all which is amazing all things considered. Pretty happy so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
