Just wanted to pass along my ordering experience for reference.
Ordered 1/24/2022 - Limited 4x4 Stealth Appearance, Sync 4A, 2nd Row Bench, Star White
Scheduled for Production Email 6/30/2022 (for build week 8/8/2022)
Scheduled for Production Email 8/9/2022 (for build week 8/15/2022)
Vehicle Built Email 9/18/2022 (verified by dealer it was sent Offsite for Microchip on 8/23/2022)
Arrived at Dealer 9/23/2022 (maybe?)
Almost exactly 8 months from order date. While that was frustrating in itself there is nothing like getting the call that the vehicle has arrived. Getting to the dealership within an hour to pick up and find it has 58 miles on it. At the time I figured it was something to do with Ford having to move it offsite during production for chips. However my wife had seen some other paperwork that indicated that the dealership received the vehicle with 10 miles on it. This was the 2nd time we've ordered an Expedition (originally ordered MY21 9/18/2021 hoping for it to be rolled over to MY22). They knew we were going to buy it, I had contacted my salesman weekly for updates, and they had the gull to drive it 40+ miles before handing it over????
We are super happy with the vehicle. It came in great shape regardless of the joy ride. The wait was long, and hopefully worth it.
