A hailstorm would likely just raise all of our ins. rates, because all they do is share it with everyone anyway. Ford won't suffer....

I am curious as to why mine does not have ULC on it. Mine has been on hold since 3/18. Have you had any updated at all on yours?
If I am not mistaken, the "CERT" section pertains to emissions standards, "ULC" being one of the standards. My expedition is currently in transit and does not have "ULC" on my current window sticker, BUT I also deleted the Auto Start/Stop function on the car. For those of you that still have "ULC" in the "CERT" section of you sticker, do y'all still have the Auto Start/Stop Feature? And for those of you that don't have "ULC", do y'all have the Auto Start/Stop feature removed like myself? If my thinking is correct, the expeditions without Auto Start/Stop MAY fall below the ULC emission standard, hence why we might not have that in our "CERT" box.

I removed the Auto Start/Stop feature and I have ULC on the window sticker.

FYI, my 303A Max went into production on 3/22 and was 'mostly' built on 3/29. It's still in chip hold. A call with my dealer today informed me that the new expected delivery date is 6/23-29. So annoyed with Ford watching them ship identical models into dealer inventory while we're forced to wait. My response to the dealer... "IF" it comes then.

I genuinely believe what Ford is doing is unethical. I get it... the dealer orders they're shipping have higher MSRP's than most of ours and the dealers can get close to sticker or above, and this is giving the dealers much needed profit. It's still likely fraud what they are doing to us though.

I found out today that my truck is waiting on a chip. I was told June 24th to July 30th for an ETA.

Red Limited Max 304a w/ CCD
I ordered on 12/18 and originally showed production on 4/18 but later updated to 4/26.

Has anyone received a "built" email after being on chip hold and their vehicle shipped? I received my email about a month ago and it is still awaiting shipment.

I think I'm still stuck in the chip hold phase. The as-built data for our vehicle is still missing PCMs.

I had been on chip hold since 03/18, on 06/06 I received an email stating mine had been built. It shows an estimated delivery date of 07/07 - 07/13.

I noticed my update today. I've never received emails on my order because I suppose my dealer never entered my email address in the system. That said, I'm not sure what my new expected delivery is. As of 2 days ago, it was 8/2-6, but that was before it was finished. If Ford holds to their current pace, I believe it'll come in by Christmas... of 2023.

I ordered a limited on 10/20. After a few rescheduled build dates it went into production on 3/19. After a parts hold it was built on 5/31. As of today it still hasn't shipped. ETA July 3.
