I did that, bought a 2022 GLS450 and then the expedition came in so now have both, lol.
How do they compare?

Mine keeps getting pushed back as well. Black Max 304A. It's been 3 weeks in a row that it keeps getting pushed another week, after already switching the date 5 times prior. I'm about ready to start searching for a Yukon or Suburban. This would have been my first Ford, but they're not making a great impression.
Trust me, the GM situation is even worse. A lot of the good packages are on constraint and on top of that you need to deal with their hostile allocation system.
Like said previous post gm is in the same boat. What took me over the edge is Ford using general grabber tires and dealers are pretending no vibration while their teeth are chattering from the vibration. My experience after 4 expedtions and 3 f250 diesels ford does not help or dealer doesn't help with warranty situations. Spend 80k and o fix a vibration problem is 1k and ford tells us to pound sand. Look at the posts on vibration issues
In the past I had boats to pull but I gave up the boat so I do not need a tow vehicle anymore.
Good luck.
Interesting.... I'm also having this issue. 350 miles on the odometer and there is a slight vibration starting at 60mph which gets pretty bad at 75. Asked the dealer for a balance and I'm already looking at two weeks before they can get me in. I guess I only bought one vehicle worth $85k..

I'm bringing 4 Nitto Recon Grapplers (Nitto's replacement for the Terra Grappler) to the dealer when mine arrives and having them swap out whatever tires come with it from the factory before I drive it off the lot. The various factory tires that came on my Navigators were unusable on the gravel roads to and from my house (constant flats), so I started swapping on delivery after my 2nd one.Interesting.... I'm also having this issue. 350 miles on the odometer and there is a slight vibration starting at 60mph which gets pretty bad at 75. Asked the dealer for a balance and I'm already looking at two weeks before they can get me in. I guess I only bought one vehicle worth $85k..

Built the same day as went In Production? Mine has been In Production for a week now; ford said In Production only means the build order was sent to the factory but they can't say when it will actually be built. Has anyone else had long delays on this?
My status on the pizza order tracker said "In Production" for a week and half, but without a date. Then once built, both dates showed up under In Production and Built (same date).

Ok. There's no In Production date shown yet, so the wait continues........

Nice! Hopefully your transit time is similar to mine - was delivered to dealer one week after build (by convoy to MI)
Going to check mine out on Monday

I have both. I have a Mercedes GLS 450 2020 model SUV (with the giant screen) and got my 2022 Expedition MAX a few days back. I have to say the Expedition actually has more comfortable ride than the Mercedes. It is just a function of body mass. The Mercedes is a lighter and smaller vehicle although it is the largest mercedes. The Merc of course has far better interior (and even exterior) fit and finish than the ford. And the infotainment system is also far superior to Ford. The seats are more plush.
Buuut, the ride quality on the ford is much better than the mercedes.

Took delivery a few days back. Limited MAX, 302A, HD Tow
2021-11 - ordered
2022-02 - went into production and then into chip hold
2022-06 - finished building
2022-09 - shipped
2022-10 - took delivery
Initial observations
- I love the car in general. The ride is very smooth.
- The mahogany interior is far better looking in person than the photos suggest. It has a classy look. Although the black interior would have been better. But for black, I would have had to get the 303A package which I didn't want
- While doing the test drive, I saw the rear view mirrors on both sides flapping around quite a bit. I was alarmed and thought I would have to give back the vehicle for time consuming repairs. Fortunately, it was just a quick 5 minute fix back at the dealership
- After reading other people'e post, I tested the hands free liftgate and signs of wear and tear on the tires. Fortunately, the hands free liftgate was working properly. And the tires were also good.
- I did a 700 mile trip over the weekend (San Fran to Los Angeles and back). The fuel economy was 19.3 mpg. This is based on what I calculated based on miles travelled and gallons of gas put in. The onboard computer gave a lower figure actually 17.9. So essentially, the actual mpg was better than what ford stated.
- I was able to get an old finance interest rate that ford had back in Nov 2021 - 1.9% APR for 36 months. I felt it is a great deal; especially as compared to now when commercial banks are easily charging 5% or more. I also got the X-Plan pricing via my membership in EAA. Be careful, generate a PIN only when you are actually at the dealership and about to buy the vehicle. I was not aware that there is an annual limit of 2 X-Plan pins. And I had generated my last pin 4 months back. There is actually a 90 day expiry and hence my pin had actually expired. However, my dealership was able to use that expired pin and actually get me x-plan pricing. They were great.
Other things which I wish I had ordered differently.
- The panoramic sunroof is great. But I should have just bought the regular sunroof. Reason is that the pano sunroof brings down the weight bearing capacity of the roof rack. I think it comes down from 200 lbs to 125 lbs. That can be a problem when putting roof cargo boxes or kayaks or whatever.
- I didn't get the CCD suspension. I think I shoud have. While going over rough roads, I could feel the roughness a bit more than I expected. Also when going on concrete highways, it bounced around a bit more. This is when compared with my other large SUV which has a very adaptive suspension.
- I have the Sync 4 and not the Sync 4A. That is , the smaller screen and not the giant screen. I feel that the Sync 4 is a bit smaller than I thought. Although the small screen serves the purpose, the giant Sync 4A 15 inch screen might also not have been bad. I had not bought the giant screen because I wanted the convenience of physical knobs for the most used controls
