7 weeks now since I ordered. No VIN still. Double-checked with Marketing to be sure and it's still "in processing." Somehow I think my dealer's estimate of 8-12 weeks is seeming unrealistic. This is getting old.
you won't be getting it in 8-12 for sure. Seems they have scheduled most orders up through mid January so far (there are a few Fall orders that are still unscheduled but not sure of their order details). I'm Feb 7 order so a full month before you. If it doesn't schedule this week I plan to roll my order to a 2023 instead. Also placing an order for a Escalade V and see who gets built first. I knew 8-12 was not realistic when our salesperson said it but I was expecting 16 weeks receiving was a pretty good target.

I ordered 11/5/21 and was told 8-18 weeks. We are WAYYYY past that, don't believe any estimate anyone gives you. The trucks the are producing now on the plant are not being produced whole either. They are just going to keep stacking trucks at this point.
What has been most frustrating is the number of 'Dealer Stock' units that keep popping up online. Did people really order and back out? Did dealers find a work around to get stock units built with phantom customer orders? I get the dealers are hurting but not a single truck should roll off the line for stock ahead of a confirmed order.

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.

Customer orders are a guarantee sale, dealer orders are not. So they have made the dealer orders priority. No other way to explain it. Especially when the dealer orders have the same things in them that ours do, that have been sitting in a lot for weeks at a time.

I figured I was overdue to pester my dealer, so I did that today, also. Of course no new news there, as expected, but I did manage to get them to raise my priority from 19 to 10, so maybe that'll do me some good.

Having laid hands on a 2022 Limited Max in the color I want (Dark Matter) but not an SPP and without a few options I wanted, part of me wonders if I should have nabbed that for $15K less (still probably more than I should be spending), but I'm particular, so I let it go and ordered this instead. I continue to wait impatiently...

I asked my dealer about this, he is a good friend so no reason to lie. He is in the same boat, has over 100 orders with Ford not fulfilled yet, it is driving him crazy.

I feel terrible for the dealers. You have a product that tons of people want, you make a commission but your producer can’t get you any product. And probably people are just laying into you. Bad situation. That’s why I’ve tried to only ask what I felt I really needed to ask and I’ve never been frustrated with them about it. My wife just keeps telling me “they told you it would be six months” and she’s going to be right.

For the guys who ordered with the option 304A, quick question since its a HO raptor engine does it come with duck exhaust pipes underneath of single with one muffle design ? up in the air with this option to spend almost 10k for this option and haven't seen any post of the exhaust set up with less restriction? Also are custom orders delay 9 to 2 weeks or at least September? then I should just wait for a 2023, hoping to get one but really wanted head up display too.

For me, an extra 5k for the little extra hp and extra speakers was not worth it. Cheaper to get a chip if I really wanted the extra power. You have money to burn, I do not believe this is the item that is holding up the orders right now.
