2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

[maxlim2022]

....There is something different when they are watching a show together at the same time, vs each have ipads.

This^^ is the reason I went with RES, though outdated. We do have one in the Infiniti. It helps to get the family together, I do not know how many kiddy movie scenes I can play in my brain withouot pictures because I watched it a couple of times then listened a zillion times while the kids watched

Spoke with my dealer this morning.

He said they’ve been getting a lot of updates the past few days from Ford that production is gradually starting back up.

He already removed the automatic start/stop from our build to help speed up production.

He seemed confident building of our 1/17 order will happen soon.

Fingers crossed.

Hopefully with building more, comes with them getting more chips in to get the built ones out the door.

Well, I just called Ford Marketing this morning. The rep I talked to was very nice, but couldn’t give me any updates because I don’t have a VIN yet. I was told to ask My dealer if my vehicle has any late availability items. I ordered a Platinum Max, black, with Heavy Duty Tow, floor liners, cargo mat, and the 22” Chrome Polished wheels on 11/18.

The following is a known availability issue:

Front Row – Multicontour with Active Motion® (LIMITED AVAILABILITY) – refer to option 88R

If you want to be scheduled sooner than later you likely would need to add Option 88R to remove those seats. I realize that is a no go for some obviously.

If it’s been sent offsite, that probably means you have a hold for a microchip. I bet if you talk to someone else in marketing, they will tell you about the hold. Mine finished building on the 24th and has been moved offsite since waiting on a micro chip, and our orders are pretty close to each other.

Are you being told what the hold is for? Marketing kept telling me to contact my dealer about removing Active Park 2.0, and I kept informing her that per the order guide/HD tow option, mine does not have that option. I read somewhere else about a wiper motor hold, but not sure if that’s the case or not.

I asked Marketing when I called, and they told me they did not know which chip they were waiting on. I also ordered the HD Tow package, which removes the Active Park 2.0. My dealership keeps saying they are not getting any info.

But I am calling Marketing now to see if they say the same thing about the Active Park 2.0

So they are giving people $350 back for removing active park assist but those of us that ordered HD tow didn’t get any kind of credit?

There has been a note in the order guide for a while that states if you order the HD tow package it removes active park assist on most models. So based on that you weren't really getting it in the first place so I'd expect them to not give you anything back. Is it right to pay for more packages and get less stuff? Not in my opinion but that is what it appears they are doing.

This was the least helpful one I’d talked to. She kept telling me to tell my dealer to remove park assist and it would ship. Was a frustrating call. I’ve read on Blue Oval Forums that someone was saying they were waiting on a bunch of wiper motors that were supposed to be in over the next couple of weeks. Who knows if that’s true or not. My ETA is currently end of this month.

I spoke to Marketing as well, and yes, not very helpful. She said mine does not show Active Park 2.0. But she doesn't now know what mine is waiting for. Reference Blue Oval, I tried to sign up there for an account, and it would never send me the confirmation email. So I can not read any of the stuff on that site now.

I’ve never signed up for an account and I can browse the forums.

Yeah, apparently if you sign up for an account, it won't let you do anything until it is approved. I am trying to cancel it so I can view the stuff again. I really hope it is a hold for the wiper motors. If so, not sure why they would list a microchip hold.

 

[xraymd]

Yes, someone who claims to work at the Louisville truck plant said on Blue Oval that they were in need of wiper motors with a shipment expected April 8.

Don't get your hopes up. My superduty I ordered last February sat on a lot waiting for chips for three months while I watched others who were built after mine get delivered. They didn't get my truck shipped until they were transitioning to the 22's.

Thanks for the reality check. When did you get the vehicle in hand ?

There's a 'connected' guy who posts on Blue Oval Forums, don't know if he's a dealer or works for Ford, but he posted a scheduling document for the week of 4/4/22. The list is attached. I think we all just have to wait. Supply Chain problems are affected all industries. I waited 4 months for an HP Elitebook laptop due to supply constraints.

Wow, not much going on at all!

Nope! It is hitting all car companies.
