    Rivets in roof

    Hey, stuff changes. No big deal. Which stamping plant, by the way? They don't install the roof at the stamping plant. In any case, for previous model, it was RSW. For other steel products, it's RSW. Although, even F-150 and Super Duty have some RSW (front and rear of the roof), but are still...

    Rivets in roof

    As a guy that puts tooling into our bodyshops, I can assure you that we provided no resistance welding equipment on current model Expedition (OP described a 2021 model). For current model, the roof is 100% self-piercing rivets. (Pop rivets are something else).

    Oil changes at the Ford Stealership?

    I was driving out west in 2019 (with my 2019 that I no longer have). I'm overdue by about 500 miles, so pull into the dealer in Carson City. They wanted me to make an appointment two weeks out! I ended up going to a dealer in Redding, and it was still a three hour affair.

    2022 Expedition Order Guide attached

    I can't promise that it won't change, but I'm still seeing "Multi-contour Seats" on my build sheet in Vehicle Visibility (an employee-accessible system; sorry). I mean, if it's deleted, then I'm paying ten grand for a different grill and BlueCruise? Yeah, I'm not sure I'm going to accept such a...

    Backup stickers

    Quote for truth. I played with it on the 2019 I had for a while, and I just kept fighting myself.

    Rivets in roof

    Those aren't spot welds, but rather self piercing rivets (SPR's). Ford doesn't do a whole lot of aluminum spot welding, and certainly not on the roof ditch. This is actually probably better than a spot weld, because spot welds can have porosity and cracks (they're not supposed to, but sometimes...

    2022 production status

    That's the lowest they can give you. They have to request corporate to make it a lower number / higher priority. You need be an employee for access to the system.

    2022 production status

    I have access to Vehicle Visibility, but it doesn't indicate why I'm 01. I assume the dealer had to ask for it specially. Maybe they just really like me because I gave up an A Plan order on a '21 that they were able to take and sell at retail above their normal allocation. I'm not sure how the...

    2022 production status

    I've got priority 01 for some reason. And I keep getting delayed. And I ordered a week after the window opened.

    2022 production status

    "Scheduled to Week" is pretty loose, and "Scheduled to Day" is pretty firm. Well, unless they change, which they have for me. My "Scheduled to Day (Feb-22-2022)" is now "Scheduled to Week (Week -of Mar-28-2022)"

    Gas siphon

    The anti-rollover valve also functions as an anti-siphon valve, i.e., it's hard to stick a hose into the tank. You'll have to build something with a small tube that can fit through it.

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    Mine's push back to the week of 3/21, from a specific date of 3/5. Originally had a week of 2/14. I sold my '04, so I'm a bit nervous having only one car right now, especially given that I need charging stations instead of gas stations if I need to hit the road.

    2022 Expedition Platinum Max 4x4

    There are already lots of threads about both of these. But the eLSD has been decoupled from the HD tow; if you want clutch-based lockers, you need to add the eLSD. The DVD rear entertainment system has a commodity restraint, so you can't order that, either.

    Expedition 2022 Build & Price @ Ford.com

    If you look at the details on one of the datasheets, it shows 380hp with 87 octane on the lower trims, and 400hp with 93 octane on the higher trims! I'm suspecting at this point that the engines are tuned identically. I've also seen a document referring to the 440hp engine at an "H.O. tune"...

    Floppy Hood when driving

    You may take it in anyway, and see if there's anything the dealer can work out with Ford for you. It's hard to characterize hood mastic under warranty, I think. Is it bumper to bumper? Paint/corrosion (different warranty period)? Drivetrain? Something else? I'd seriously push the issue if you...

    Can anyone decipher this window sticker?

    What do you expect the window sticker to describe? In the hidden text you can see your dealership address in Poplar Bluff. But you're linking to a blue window sticker. This is a stock order, and wasn't ordered for you specifically. Note that the plant still hasn't hit okay-to-buy as far as...

    For that matter, they might be willing to switch them with an in-stock Limited. They could potentially sell the Limited with "dealer installed upgrade" to the 22-er.

    Not good, Bob. (Production cuts due to chip shortage.)

    Looks like mine's been pushed back to March 5th. I'm nervous having only one car (and electric at that), but that works financially – we should have a small federal refund and profit sharing by time it actually arrives.

    2022 production status

    Yup. Saw my built date change from a firm 22-Feb to a loose week of 28-Feb.

    Floppy Hood when driving

    Was it still under warranty? That's a factory defect. For long term effectiveness, you don't want to just use any plain old glue. That stuff is an expanding mastic made specifically for aluminum (among other materials).

    '22 Ordering questions / options

    Blue Cruise is worth it, especially if you put on a lot of intercity highway miles. Actually, even in stop and go city highway miles. That's my personal experience on my Mustang Mach E. In fact it was the single factor that made me not take delivery of my 2021 Limited Special Edition and go to...

    '22 Ordering questions / options

    Off the lot? Or special order? Special order costs them nothing. Or come Michigan, where not accepting A Plan is a suicide.

    Still missing 2022 from the AXZ plan website, though.

    Press Vehicles? Build website?

    Holy cow! I just checked my dealer's retail report, and there are 35 MY2022 Expeditions on order for customers! Fifteen of these are scheduled to-day, nine are to-week, and the rest are ordered but unscheduled. These aren't allocation orders; each one clearly has someone's name attached. It...

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    Funny, the visibility system is showing mine moved up a day, from the 23d to the 22d. Of course, it was originally schedule for a week earlier.
