After posting the previous note about the podcast, I checked my email and found the dreaded note from Ford saying stay tuned, we will contact you again within 45 days about when we might actually have all the pieces we need to actually build your Expy.

Starting to feel like I should have jumped on one of those last 2022s that have come out recently.
I got the same email today. There goes my Christmas Miracle, lol

If my platinum shows up without MCS, I will not take delivery. I specifically waited for 2023 to order. Irritating…I hope it is bad info or maybe ones ordered after 12/12 instead of built.

Edit: Just checked my order status page and it says Standard seats, and if I click on it says MCS removal…FML. When was the last time they produced an expedition with MCS? They still have no problem advertising on the website that the Platinum has them, it wasn’t listed as a required option to delete in the order guide when it came out 08/19/22.

This is why my wife and I are bypassing the expy entirely now. The 22s were kinda exciting when first released, however, the price increase while voiding all the desirable features makes for an undesirable product. Very happy for the ones who got theirs with the features they were expecting and enjoy the truck though.

Start stop delete

Ordered 11/26, xplan + $2k PCO
Acknowledge by ford 11/26
Update:
Scheduled for production on 1/23.
No additional options deleted by Ford.

Saw someone else from early nov say their build was early Jan. So it would seem either I’m lucky, or times to build is closer to 3 months for the configuration I’ve ordered. Or my priority 10 order slipped into the schedule sooner than others.

Order Limited with 302a, bench 2nd row, ordered on 11/11, confirmed on 11/11. The sales guy then couldn't add the 15" screen, but then they were able to add it on 11/14, then after I heard about the delay without HD Tow we added that on 11/21. Haven't received any further update. At the rate I see others being delayed, might be looking at different vehicles now, coming from a 2020 Explorer.

So mine has taken a step backwards now - I no longer have a window sticker available. Limited 304a with HD tow, dealer says it is being held because of the ‘chips’.

My window sticker has disappeared also, but the order tracker still shows “ built”, and I got the dreaded delay email yesterday. Chip hold maybe? Who knows? The lack of clear and informative communication is maddening.

Anybody know what’s going on here?? Looks like the order track app can no longer track builds.8432841F-53F8-4B33-A88A-A304F8CDA0B3.jpeg

I think Ford shut it down with Captcha and/or IP filtering. If you hit it a few times in a row, you get a Captcha picture to prove you’re not a robot or a really useful tool used by tons of Ford customers.

But it’s okay, Ford will keep us all up to date with their emails :rolleyes:

I think Ford's systems have been crazy today. Cannot do a vehicle search on Ford.com. My window sticker is back, but other things are still broken.

Yep. My window sticker is back too. If ford’s intention is to move away from dealerships and go strictly custom order, then they have a very long way to go before they can go that route without losing all their customers.

Ok Ford, what the hell is going on??? This morning I got the email saying that the Expy is built and awaiting shipment. Expected delivery by Christmas.

Like others, I got the "supply chain issues" email earlier this week, status changed to built, then window sticker disappeared and reappeared over the last 48 hours.

I hope that it is actually right. But my little heart just can't take too much more of this emotional rollercoaster LOL

Me too. Built, awaiting shipment. Should expect delivery between Dec 20-26. So confused, but happy.

Added the max tow a couple weeks ago and still can’t get a VIN or get scheduled. Getting pretty frustrating.

For what it's worth, I haven't been able to use my FordPass app yesterday or today (for my F150). There seems to be something going on with Ford systems in general
