2022 Expeditions to be delivered In February

[rob4092xx]

Was at the dealer ordering my 2022 Limited Expy yesterday afternoon when the manager showed me a letter he got in the morning stating 2022 Ford Expeditions will begin arriving at the dealerships in February.

That agrees with what folks have been saying for months — that production begins late January (24th?).

Can you tell me where you ordered from? Here in Florida, the dealer said it wasn’t available in their system yet. I am willing to order anywhere. Thanks.

I ordered in Chandler AZ at San Tan Ford.

One more thing I learned. Ford does not have any chips for auto stop/start nor will they have them anytime soon. There is now an option to remove this. If you remove auto start/stop you will get your Expy much sooner. I read this in a dealer bulletin so it is factual!

Did that bulletin actually say the car would get built quicker?

Yes it did.

Best I can tell, removing Start-Stop on ‘22 Expy to speed up delivery is not the case, for multiple reasons (based on posts in Blueovalforums):
1) That Start-Stop removal bulletin only applies to ‘22 Explorer and ‘21 Expy, not ‘22 Expy.
2) It doesn’t apply to Platinum Expy regardless.
3) As of last week, Ford removed the Start-Stop delete option from Expy (again, ‘21 only).

If there's something in the Ordering Guide, I didn't see it, so maybe you could point us in the right direction.

Here is the option in the order guide

Thanks! It seems like “Retail Orders Excluded“ refers to the requirement ( instead of the availability of the option), so it does seems to be an option. That seems to contradict last week’s bulletin. Hmm.

It‘s shown as an option for all types except Platinum.

No such option in the Navi order guide.

The dealer told me, and then showed me, a bulletin that parts for the Auto Start/Stop were not available and this feature, if ordered, would delay delivery. I can only report what I saw and read.

I'm pretty sure people were able to order these since either October or November of 2021. Go to a different dealership. They will try and sell you a 2021 if they have them.

Removing it wasn’t an option when selecting Stealth Performance. Couldn’t remove it from my order.

From the Order Guide, not an option with 304a.
