That is a very likely possibility. From a production stand point, its easier for the assembly line to be set up to continue manufacturing cars complete, rather than to convert the assembly line over to install the missing chips/parts, and then revert it back to assemble complete vehicles again. I know it doesn't much sense to us as the consumer but from their end of things, its saving them time and money.

I’ve had an F-150 Platinum and Bronco WildTrak both on CHIP holds and parts delays…they do finish vehicles stored offsite, it’s just a slower process bringing them back or work is done at storage site…I’ve seen videos specifically showing Bronco with hoods open and people working on them, posted on Forum and I believe it was a YouTube vid. In any event I didn’t have to wait until the end of the build year cycle for either…just have to be patient, once they come you forget about this process, enjoy the new car smell and move on…waiting on our Expedition to come, the last of our vehicles for 3 years. If we are lucky supply chains will normalize by then.

I believe most all ship by rail when going out of state. Ours did and we’re in NC. It arrived this week and I was able to see/drive it yesterday. We got a platinum forged green with Carmelo interior, 3.73, EDLS, and HD tow. It’s absolutely gorgeous but I’m on the fence. We’d be paying $1k below MSRP. Dealer says if we don’t take it they plan to mark it up $10k over MSRP. I was more impressed with it before I drove it. I thought I rode rougher than my Ram and the seats weren’t as comfy (nothing is removed, we have the massaging seats and rear climate controls). I thought the platinums had an air ride suspension but didn’t feel that way to me. Maybe that’s an option we didn’t select. If we bought it we may be able to sell it for the same or more within a few months considering it has everything and most now don’t but that’s not a certainty with the current market/economy. I need to decide today but still straddling the fence.

O wow. A person on here with one of the first krs said his rode better with the air suspended ram.i will say though even the coil suspended ram is a smooth rider and I didn't think it rode better than my 18 ltd on base. I did think the ram rode better than the denali on springs though and slightly worse than a 21 nav.

My Ram doesn’t have the air suspension. For added context I spent just over an hour driving the expedition - 33 mins each from dealership to house - of mostly back roads. On the trip back to the dealership my lower back started hurting from the seat. Maybe I would’ve gotten used to it over time but I was very disappointed. The same goes for the ride but maybe my expectations were too high. It’s very subjective and I wouldn’t read too much into. If you’ve owned one before I doubt you’ll be disappointed. The fit/finish of the interior was excellent. It looked and felt like a high end luxury car from that standpoint. Engine had plenty of power and the transmission was very smooth. My wife was disappointed by the lack of cargo space with the third row up and didn’t feel it improved our situation enough to merit the investment at this time. In retrospect we should’ve been looking at the max and probably will be in the future.

My trade in value was locked in when I ordered my new one, however that doesn't offset the rise in interest rates. Hopefully my truck is in my hands by the end of June and I can lock in my loan.

The cargo space with the third row is very minimal. We had twins last year and were looking to upgrade from an Edge, and landed on a used 2018 Expedition around a year ago. It was huge compared to the Edge, and we didn't anticipate using the third row much since we had bench seats so all three car seats fit in the second row. Once the twins showed up and we went through the holidays traveling several hours away to family, we opted to order a new one as a Max. I did rent a minivan for a recent vacation that we had to use the third row, and our regular sized Expedition still offers more room behind the third row than the van, but not by much. The width though was significantly different. Our double stroller fits width wise in the Expedition but could not in the van.
