2023 Ordering Timeline Thread

Nothing sticks out of the ordinary and like most of us you did delete the right things. The only thing I see is your priority code is 19 and I am under the impression this is a standard retail order. Maybe talk to your dealer about that and see if they can change to 10 which is “friend of the dealer”. Good luck.

I mean add it to your order. It makes the truck ride much better.

Everyone is in a different situation, that works great for you! I have a kid on the way for February so I was hoping to have it by then but that doesn’t seem very likely.

Congrats. We have a 2.5 year old and 9mo. Wife is ready for a bigger vehicle that's for sure.

My wife is already antsy for a full size. Her Highlander is great but with all these car seats and strollers and other things I didn’t even knew existed, I see how a full size is beneficial.

Congrats on both of yours. You probably have a ton of advice that could save me a lot of headaches. This will be my first child.

I could, but honestly there's 2 things I go by. #1 do whatever you and your wife are comfortable with regardless of what someone tells you. You're going to get advice from literally every corner of your life. Most notably when you aren't even asking for it. Take from that what you want but in the end you have to survive too. Wait until someone without kids throws advise at you, it's great! #2 You're going to F up and that's ok. Just as the kid is learning, so are you, every single day. Embrace it, it's an awesome ride.

Ordered my limited max on 5 Oct and still no build date or VIN. Dealer assured me stop/start was deleted as required but looking back at my order form I’m not seeing it. I’m a bit worried that’s what’s holding everything up.
Built 2 (long story) 21 F-150 King Ranches through the same salesman and was extremely pleased with the process. First one came in in 7 weeks and the second one came in in 8 weeks. Felt very lucky after reading all the horror stories of trucks sitting in lots for months waiting on chips or not even being built at all. It appears as though my luck may have run out with this order.
I too have outgrown our highlander after having twin boys this past Jan to go along with my 6 year old boy. Me being 6’7” certainly doesn’t help either.

Others have recently reported that the 15.5” screen was not available for them to order. That might be the delay at this point.

Thank you both @HandWBeaz15 @texag07

Dealer just called. Expedition was on hold due to the Heavy Duty Tow Package. I never cared about that, I would’ve deleted that day 1 if I knew. Let’s see how quick this process goes now.

I ordered my 2023 expedition max limited 302a on sept 14. Have received order confirmation and a 45 day I’m sorry we still don’t have the right parts type of email. Starting to get frustrating reading through and see everyone else getting build dates.

I did hear this from my dealer
Missy, Just received this morning from dealer communications... Stop build on 23 Expedition—Trailer Tow Prep Pack on affected series will not be built until estimated resolution in March/April. due to chip shortage associated with Body Control Module , certain 23MY combinations containing Trailer Tow Prep are non-buildable. They have put a stop build on non-buildable combinations effective October 20th. Affected series include Limited 302A, 303A, 304A Timberline 501A and King Ranch 400A. In the Action Requested it says - Adding HD Trailer Tow Package to impacted UNSCHEDULED orders may result in the order being scheduled and built before stop build is lifted.
