The software update came through yesterday, so I'm picking up the vehicle today. I'll start a new thread.

Many are showing up on the lot and being shipped to dealer ordered. We might abandon our order and get one coming in to the dealer.Has anyone out there been scheduled or received a 304A package? I haven't seen any online or heard anyone talk about them at all. From what I've been reading, the last batch of Expy's that were scheduled were a block of Timberlines. I ordered a Max 4X4, 304A, HD tow, Sync 4A and got confirmation on 1/26/22. I was really hoping to be scheduled last week, but it didn't happen. Was just wondering if anyone had seen or heard of any Stealth's coming off the line. Maybe they will be the next batch after the Timberline scheduling. I'm trying to stay patient, the waiting for schedule just gets tough. Thanks everyone!
There aren't many actually hitting the lots yet, search Ford's inventory tracker and it shows Dealer Ordered but not Just Arrived or On Lot. There was also a notification on the Maverick and Bronco boards that Ford won't be sending out the scheduled to week initial VIN notification to retail orders, the first email we may receive is scheduled to day which happens just a week or two before the actual build date and is much firmer than the constant scheduled to week shifting that occurred.Many are showing up on the lot and being shipped to dealer ordered.

I ordered a 304A March 5th. Max, 8-seat, 4x4, HD tow, 3.73 eLSD, Sport suspension with road preview, and SYNC 4A in Dark Matter Metallic. I am similarly annoyed that with HD tow I lose the spiffy camera setup, and further annoyed that 304A doesn't offer the Auto Start-Stop removal. Other than that, this thing seems just about perfect.
4 weeks now, and nothing yet. Not even a VIN. I can't wait, but I guess I have to.
Five Star Ford in Dallas actually had a 2022 Limited in Dark Matter on the lot the day I ordered, and it was gorgeous! I guess I'm not the only one drooling eagerly over these renderings.

When I try to add the "360-Camera with Split View and Front/Rear Washer" online, it requires me to remove the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. But if all I'm really losing is the park assist, good riddance! I know how to park just fine, TYVM. I really hope turning off auto start-stop is a quick single-button press, not something buried in the touchscreen controls. My wife and I have literally worn out the button in her Mercedes. Ridiculous feature.It is interesting that every single model and trim has 52L auto start-stop removal except the SPP. We have the exact same truck on order but in Black. What do you mean about the 'spiffy camera setup'? It still comes with the 360 camera, HDD tow only eliminated the active park assist which now every model loses that feature.
I believe that is because 360-Camera is included with the HD trailer tow, so to have 360-Camera feature by itself it has to remove the higher level option.When I try to add the "360-Camera with Split View and Front/Rear Washer" online, it requires me to remove the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package.
I ordered an XLT Max 4WD with 200a back on 1/3 and have had my scheduled production week go initially from 3/7 to 4/25. According to the dealership’s order tracking program, they show a build week of 5/9. I just sure hope they are wrong and the FMC emails are right.I look a few times a week and very few 22's at all are making it to my area, and no 304a packages. Like someone mentioned earlier, I am hoping that we are scheduled but not being told, but I'm just not real confident that is the case. The last week that Ford actually did scheduling (Week of 3/21), it seemed like people up to about mid / late January got scheduled and got the emails. All I got was the "we are working hard on your order" email that didn't actually say anything. I keep thinking that the next round of scheduling, I will get in, and was really disappointed to see no scheduling this week. Fingers crossed for next week.
