This is just getting past ridiculous.

Ordered: 1/10
Email that it went into production last week of February
Actually went into production 3/16
Built on 5/28
Estimated delivery June 16
Estimated deliver July 10
Estimated delivery July 26


I’m sorry but this is getting to be absurd. I’ve read so many people who ordered after me on here who already have there’s. I live in AL and it’s being built in Kentucky.

I think what probably ****** me off the most is my dealer. They have not ONCE reached out to me. I’ve had to contact them. But I guess they don’t give a shit if they sell it to me or not cause someone will surely buy it immediately. They do nothing to advocate for me.

My dealership ALSO shows MY CAR with MY VIN on their website as in stick and available. They show that they have several expeditions in stock and several more in transit. Which is all a lie. They have non in stock. They say that Ford controls that which is total bull.

I understand that there supply chain issues and shipping issues. But 2.5 months to build it and now another 2 months to deliver it. And there’s no confidence in that. This is just absurd
If you are able to see your sticker and it is GREEN as opposed to BLUE, the vehicle is a special order, and unless you officially cancel the deal, they can not list it as in inventory and for sale. That's a question for Ford. Did you sign a purchase agreement and put down any money? If so, they can't offer that vehicle for sale. Your dealer gives dealers in general a bad name. There are truly GOOD dealers out there. Too bad, there are few who take advantage and abuse the whole process that ruins the reputation for all dealers.

Good Luck!

I'm in a similar boat and can empathize with you.

Timeline:
Ordered 11/12/2021
Scheduled for production week of 3/7
Pushed back to 3/14
Pushed back to 3/21
Pushed back to 4/4
Pushed back to 4/11
Pushed back to 4/18
Pushed back to 4/25
Complete radio silence for months the entire time (dealership did not provide me any updates, I had to ask)
Built email on 6/24
No idea when it will actually ship (email says arrival at dealership expected 7/14 - 7/20)

I hate the market dynamics right now. The dealership doesn't have to care because they know that if I walk away they'll sell it for far more than what we agreed to. It used to be that you could walk and they'd come crawling back asking you to buy the truck.

And, I'm already preparing myself for them to try and back out of our initial agreement. Terrible situation at all angles.
I could not agree with you more. I guarantee that if my vehicle ever arrives they will try things to not sell it to me.

That is weird, I don't know anything about the rules of what the dealer can do with special orders on their website.

Sounds shady to me.

I can tell you from personal experience that is how the process works. I do believe Ford is in control at least in some part of the website update. My VIN was also listed on my dealer's site with an extremely high price over MSRP. I purchased the vehicle to our agreed to price with no issues. There is hope all is well.

100% normal with just about every manufacturer. I’ve ordered a number of vehicles and this has happened everytime. No need to worry.

Was there anything removed from your initial order?
