Got the email today that my 23 has been built and awaiting shipping!!
Ordered 11/02/22 built 1/13/23. Limited SPP on Tri metallic white with 304A, eLSD, HD tow, 2nd row bench, 15" screen, sport suspension etc. However they removed one touch rear window and handsfree lift gate which I didn't ask for and would have wanted.
Now the wait begins

Ordered our ‘23 Timberline in late September of 22 and picked it up last weekend Jan 7 ‘23. I am sorry to hear about your delays. I’m not an expert but learned a lot going thru the order process with a “good” dealer and reading here. For what it’s worth I would recommend the following:
1. Ask for an updated copy of buyers order when the dealer and Ford had to roll it to a MY23.
2. Check your buyers order against the latest 2023 Order Guide and ensure that all the required delete codes are showing (like auto stop/start, liftgate, rear window express, etc)
3. Try to find out very latest about status of any current parts holds, like orders must have HD Tow or cannot include 15.5” screen, etc and discuss making such changes with your dealer.
4. Double check the dealer order for the Priority Code assigned and see if they can place you at level 10. Higher is not better here, you don’t want to be a 19.
Wishing you luck on getting it resolved and taking delivery sooner than later!
It was mandatory to remove the one touch rear windows and hands free liftgate. The dealer had no choice but to do that on the order. No Expedition being currently delivered has that functionality.
Have you considered changing dealers? It seems they haven't done anything to make your order a priority. Given people are ordering now and getting them in approx. 3-4 months the dealership is not offering good support IMHO.

Any idea why as the window sticker I also received listed both of them as standard equipment? Thanks
My guess would be that they would revert back to having these items standard when they manage the chip issue better. For now they have the "option" of removal. My window sticker also lists the windows under standard equipment but then has the removal "option". I don't see the lift gate listed as standard but it shows the removal. My understanding was an order couldn't go in if those removals were not included.

I picked up my Expedition in Des Moines, and drove it back home to Colorado yesterday. Granger was a great dealership to work with, and I highly recommend them.
