My 4/26/22 2022 Limited Max 4x4 order just got pushed to a MY2023 order. I just received an email from Ford. Anyone else get the same?
ouch! when do they even start those I wonder? dont most lines have to shutdown to re-tool/re-program from one model year to next. I know Jeep is like that each year.

That’s interesting. I ordered my Limited 4x4 304A on 4/30. My scheduled production date was originally 8/14, but was pushed back to 9/26. Did you have a scheduled production date yet? If so, what was it? I’ll keep an eye on my emails. I told my wife that if our production date was pushed back again, we’d likely be moved to a 23, but as of yet I’m still a 22 scheduled at the end of next month even though I ordered after you. But mine isn’t a Max.
its crazy how batching for building is. I ordered on 3/10 (4x4 Limited with 303A, HD tow, engine block heater in stone blue. production was scheduled for 8/8, tracker marked it (with no date) as in production on 8/4, got delay with no date given email on 8/19 and about 0815 (est) today in production actually had todays date assigned to it on the tracker as well as 20 pages of BCE module data popped up on that site for my VIN. is it the colors they group or is today 303A stealth day? either way I just hope build is done today and shipping happens ASAP.

no telling honestly but I would guess it is the packages. Back in April they ran a whole week churning out Timberlines. Probably something like "Hey our supplier dropped off a truckload of black leather interiors, lets run a bunch of Limited's"

According to this link on Blue Oval forum: https://blueovalforums.com/forums/i...oduction-week-scheduling-information/&page=33
production needed to be scheduled by 9/8 for a MY2022...guess I didn't make the cut. I currently have a 2019 Limited Max that is coming off lease in Nov but I called Ford credit and they will extend it for me. I just need to figure out how long to extend, they said a max of 6 months...hopefully don't need that long:oops:

Based on that production schedule you linked above, it looks like my scheduled production week of 9/26 is the last build-week before they switch over to the 2023s. I guess I’ll be getting one of the LAST 2022s built, lol. That’s OK, I’m fine with that. No more waiting, I’ll finally get my truck!

I just went back and looked at my order paperwork again, I thought I ordered mine on 4/30 but it was actually 3/30, so maybe that’s why I made the cutoff and yours rolled into the 2023s. It looks like my 9/26 scheduled production week is the last of the 2022s.


Although, like someone else mentioned, I think the packages may also affect it. Some items are just less available than others putting some people on longer wait lists.

it has to be the packages. the Limited Stealth Performance 304A seems to be very popular and common among people posting about delays. I went with just Limited Stealth 303A package and tracker/BCE module data shows mine is in production as of 8/22. was originally scheduled for 8/8 on a order I placed 3/10. fingers crossed it gets a built and ship date this week or next. Hope you make the 22 cut and not waiting into next year.

keep seeing this chip hold status mentioned. is it a email like the supply chain issues email I have seen or they label it on the tracker page? do they tell you when chip hold is cleared or a built status/date just appears on tracker or email?

I didn't receive any notification about being on chip hold. I was expecting weeks or months of waiting, but it only took just over a week. So, I guess they were able to get whatever parts they needed.

Funny story, but I have been receiving the "supply chain" and "we'll keep you updated every 45 days" emails from Ford, but I didn't look closely enough. I had ordered a Platinum Max back in January, but when the MCS would have been removed I switched to a 304a Max in April. It was scheduled just a couple weeks later. I guess the Platinum is still on order and hasn't even been scheduled, but I'm still receiving updates for it.
