Interesting information on the Ford Video Guy podcast this week. Expy production has a bunch of potential and actual scheduled feature deletions coming up. Perhaps the most important:
1) The foot operated lliftgate activation option is deleted for 2023. So this is why those of us that ordered with this deletion option selected are not seeing that deletion option on the Maroney. Also deleted on other vehicles in the Ford line, so maybe they listened to the complaints!
2) Platinum production starting 12/12 will not have the multi-contour seats. Ford will not update these vehicles at a later date, so your Platinum will not get these seats if produced after that date.
3) B&O radios - both the 12 and 23 speaker versions - may come with a reduced power capacity amp bass speaker depending on the inventory when your vehicle is produced.
4) Auto start/stop deletion if parts are not available (likely).
5) Second row windows one touch up/down deletion not available (likely).
6) Active park assist 2.0 removal (likely).
7) Side view mirror heated glass removal (possible future issues).
8) Inclination and intrusion sensor removal (possible future issues).
9) Platinum Blue Cruise removal (possible future issues).
The ones I have marked possible future issues are deletions Ford has notified dealers may happen as they are anticipating supplier issues.
Without the multi contour seats and blue cruise, I am not sure how they will sell a Platinum.
In any case - this is from Episode 69 of the Ford Video Guy (Tim Bartz) podcast. It is on youtube, titled "How will supply issues affect your order getting built?" and it covers all Ford products, the Expedition details are about an hour into the video.
