2022 Expedition XLT ordered today

[mrmustang]

Long time lurker, really nothing up until today to post about


Placed my order today for a new 2022 Expedition XLT
Color: Iconic Silver
Black Active X seats
2nd row power bench (2nd row Captains chairs now standard)
202A equipment group
HD Tow package
Auto start-stop delete (confirmed still available by special order only)

Hoping to document the process from start to finish:
Order written and deposit taken at 2:17pm
Order confirmed by Ford Corp at 2:52pm

I'll post more when I receive either a VIN, or projected production date, or both.

If I'm lucky, I might see the car by April or May.

PS: As for those wondering about when actual 2022 production started, 1/17/2022, confirmed by plant management late last week.

Did you inquire about the rear entertainment package at all?

We did not, sorry.

I ordered my expedition max XLT back on 1/3 and have yet to get a production date for it. Mine is iconic silver like yours but will have the 200a package instead of the 202a (the activeX is real leather and I couldn’t bring myself to spend an extra $4k for pleather seats)

Ours (SWMBO and I) was a form/function order (X-Plan through the MCA), recently retired, no grandchildren in our foreseeable future, a few vehicles weighing anywhere from 2,268lbs to 4,860lbs to tow on a Trailex open trailer (investigating possible enclosed trailer upgrade for next year with SWMBO). We wanted the extra capacity for whatever life may throw at us, while being comfortable going all over the US. From past experience with our old 2000 Expedition, towing my enclosed race trailer/equipment, this was a great choice for us. I thought about a Timberline or Limited, but honestly, neither quite fit our particular wants, needs, or intended use. As for the seating, the heated and "ventilated" seats are a blessing that needs to be experienced to properly understand in both the humid heat of the summer, as well as the bitter cold of ski country.
With the newer, simplified ordering system in regards to packages, it was a no brainer, at least for us, to step up to the 202A

As for VIN and production date, I'm in no rush, but I am chomping at the bit, if you know what I mean.

Enjoy the ride.

Good choice. Something good to look forward too.

Congratulations on the newly ordered Expy, as well as recent retirement.

Do the 2022 XLTs still come with halogen headlights?

No, the 2022 marks the upgrade to a revamped front end with LED lighting. I have yet to see this in person.

New pictures of updated front end and new tailights

50T Special Edition package added to order this AM to make the wife happy for the 3 or 4 times a year she might drive it

So all 2022 trim levels (at least XLT and higher) get LEDs standard? Wow, pretty impressive if that’s the case.

Even the ‘22 XL trim level expeditions will have LED headlights standard

 

[dlcorbett]

They are standard, but they are reflectors now instead of projectors. Also, only ltd and higher trims get led tailights.

Correct, the LED Reflector Headlamps, signature lighting and bright bezels, at least for the 50T package. Interesting that the same package adds the LED fog-lights as well as shown in my attached pictures posted earlier in this thread. It is unknown if the LED taillights will also be included in the package, as the internal configuration/order system does not spell it out one way or the other. I watched today as we added toe 50T package to the order.

Ordered my XLT this morning!! Couldn’t get the rear entertainment package which sucks. It’s on constraint and not even an order-able option.

I ordered a 22 expedition and gave a deposit a week ago. Dealer has confirmed that the order is in, but I haven’t gotten any email confirmation from Ford. Is that normal? Thank you all for any help!

Congrats!! I ordered mine last week. Did you get a confirmation email from Ford? Still haven’t gotten mine so trying to see what’s standard. Thanks

It is. The order tracking process throughout could use refinement. Keep checking with the dealer and eventually they will kick you a VIN which can be used with your order number to track status on the Ford site. The Ford site offers limited visibility and sometimes just doesn’t work.

Email confirmations require the dealer to put your email into the system. I'm assuming that it's easy for the dealer to miss, because I've ordered two Expeditions from the same dealer, and never have gotten email confirmations.

Correct, without an email address in your internal Ford profile, they cannot send you anything.
