All of the above, of course, but considering that I snatched the first Expedition I could from dealer stock, that was completely built, shipped and delivered to the dealer in less than four weeks, it's awfully hard not to blame Ford. They're clearly capable of delivering vehicles.
Laughing. My. Ass. Off. Go Ford Go. I am in Denver, and got "pushed back" for shipping again last week. Why mine would not be on the same train as yours, makes sense now. NO rhyme or reason to anything Ford's doing here.
Yep. My retail order went into production on 3/24, whereas the dealer stock unit that I just purchased has a window sticker that was created on 3/31. So they built it, shipped it, and I grabbed it, all within the span of about three weeks. "Mine" still sits somewhere in KY, forgotten.
I decided that it wasn't worth the daily hassle any more, and went and bought the only Limited Max in town today. So I'm officially abandoning my special order. SAY LA VEE.
We're pretty much an echo chamber in here by now... I did a quick mashup of my order (TOP) compared to a dealer order I found that is nearly the identical build (the dealer order includes HD tow, mine does not).
I went out to my dealer's website to have a look, and sadly mine is still just a general stock photo. They have a couple of RAPTORs with the train pics, though, so perhaps there is some relevance to this theory. Now I have another website to refresh seventy three times each day. :D
Easy, just look at the window sticker. Retail orders are green, dealer orders are blue. I've tracked quite a few dealer orders that were produced and shipped this month, while mine along with others was produced the end of March, and still sits.
For better or worse, finally some movement and/or an actual update. MKTG told me just now that they expect the chips to be installed between 4/23 and 4/29, so basically next week. With the way things are going with shipping, I'm doubting that the ETA to dealer is going to be very encouraging...
Yeah, it was four I think when I found it. Then it went down, and I got very excited, assuming vehicles were changing status. Now... 29. Wahhhh wahhhhhh wahhhhhhhhhh.
