Did not seem like a ton. I was thinking a couple hundred to a thousand shipped. Does not seem like a single customer order has shipped either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every customer order is on these forums, and I’d guess the dealer inventory is more or less their quality check builds anyway. Saw this when the gladiator came out and dealers were getting lot inventory before the launch editions hit consumer hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The plant was on lay off this week. A small skeleton crew did work. They did process some vehicles, but I'm not sure how many. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great, hopefully the plant can hit normal production levels and stay online for a bit. Latest expedition build to week emails I’ve heard are late April so far so I don’t expect scheduled to production notifications will occur for a few more weeks for those of us still waiting.

gmuqueenie Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) I ordered in Oct. and have an ‘In Production’ status and a window sticker. Hoping to see movement soon! Edited March 22, 2022 by gmuqueenie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntsw1 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I ordered 10/15, been in production since 2/14. Was told my eta is 3/26 as it has been built for a while but they are just waiting on a chip to ship? @waloud any idea what chip they are missing on the expeditions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I have no idea on what the chip hold is for the Expedition. As of right now the units coming off the line are less stock windshield wiper motors. I haven't seen any other issues on nights this past week. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer told me by checking their system. But my dealer said they do not have a contact at the factory to inquire further as to what exactly it is waiting on. I’m only hoping at this point it is a wiper motor and they do come in this Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadet7263 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Got an email from Ford last night. Says although my truck is in production, they need more time to finish it. Seems like a lot of people got the email who are waiting for cars from the KTP. Was hoping for better news this morning, and not that it’s been delayed more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithk Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Hi @waloud any updates for us? I just saw on another forum a person say they went from Production to Built overnight, so I'm getting hopeful that I will see the same thing very soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waloud Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Around 220 per shift, 2,640 a week. Hopefully I can get a answer on the motors this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
