ddakoske Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Does anyone know if the Super Duty and Expeditions share the same line at the plant? Or just under the same building? I ask as I wonder if the plant has been running mostly SD to try to catch up? Seems no one has gotten notice of an expedition actually built in the last 3 weeks since builds started per the media. I get the parts shortage. I work in automotive. But it’s not zero parts…. The plant is not completely idle per the news. So what are they building???? Are all our Navie friends getting the slots?

balthisar Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Different body shops and final assembly areas, shared paint shop (I assume). Expedition is launching, and has an acceleration curve attached to it. It's also awaiting something called OK-to-buy (which means OK-to-sell). They'll get built. We're all just impatient, that's all.

cliff2000 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) It was awhile back, but the last time I got to go through the plant they had two final assembly lines. One line ran Expedition, Navigator, and certain configurations of Super Duty. The other line ran Super Duty only. I didn't see the body/paint area so I don't know about that.

Impatient is a perfect word for it. And yes I am guilty of it. Certainly would prefer a proper built vehicle over a quick built vehicle. Problem is everything else in the year 2022 has such transparency and instant gratification, patience is lost. Thanks for making us all impatient Amazon. Also Expy is just launching later then what most are typically use too. Typically a MY 22 would have been in dealerships hands in Q4 2021.

Go to Ford.com and build an Expedition. After you build it, scroll down to near the bottom of the page and select “Search Inventory.” You should get a list of vehicles heading to dealers near you. It works on Lincoln.com with Navigators too. Here’s a window sticker for a dealer ordered 2022 Expedition near me. It’s not on the lot yet, but looks like it got built at least.

Xraymd Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 A Platinum that I was able to track. Started in January and still “in production” ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 No SUV production this week. Last week we only ran SUVs for 3 days. Word that I am getting is parts shortage. We are currently waiting for the OK to ship on about 2500 SUVs that have been built. Our Super Duty production has also been cut due to parts. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

platjonesmax Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Anyone have an idea on how long waiting for the rear entertainment system would set one back? I ordered in November with RES but so far, just crickets...no VIN. Make me fear we're in for a long wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjj83 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I ordered one back around Thanksgiving week of 21 and have had no updates as well. I am hoping to see it by May/June. Same with my F350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word on if the plant is producing SUVs again? Flew home from CA to be here when it arrived when the dealer told me it was on the line being built. That was 2 weeks ago now. ??♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xraymd Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Rumor is they started shipping some this weekend. I hope it’s true ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Im pretty sure we will not be producing SUVs this week. I will not know for sure until Tuesday night. We are only running 1 shift this week. Im not sure if we have shipped any this weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntsw1 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Appreciate the update. Please let us know what you find out after work. I have had a window sticker for almost 4 weeks now and still not shipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balthisar Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 OKTB was only recently achieved, so at least the built units will have started moving out already. I don't even have a window sticker, and my build date keeps slipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 We did run some SUVs tonight. We are still having some parts issues. Still not shipping any out yet. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntsw1 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 @waloud is there any specific part(s) you all are waiting on for the expeditions built but not shipped? Or do you have a parking lot full of built expeditions that are ready to ship but just haven't been released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 We have about 3,000-3,500 that are waiting to be shipped. They are working on getting them to be shipped ASAP. We will not run anymore this week. Hearing next week the whole plant might be off due to parts. If they get the parts for the SUVs, they will have the ones that are needed to work to get them out for shipping. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntsw1 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 That is great news. Hopefully they get those 3k shipped right away. Thank you for sharing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTownHog Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Wonder if any of the HO motor builds have gotten done. I’ve got a SPP on order and I worry that it will get delayed for a while since it is a niche option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have seen more Timberlines posted then platinums and limiteds combine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the number of them that hit lots this week I’d assume they pushed a big chunk out of the OKTB hold point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
