Yes taking 8 or longer.
I didn't have to deposit, but not sure about others.
Incentives are at time if delivery.

What he said ^^
Deposit is at selling dealer discretion. If you are spec'ing something off-the-wall that the dealer might have trouble retailing, or if dealer isn't convinced you'll show up to take delivery, then expect a deposit. $100, $500, refundable, not refundable - dealers call.
Wouldn't hold my breath for killer incentives though. In 8 months, maybe.

However, I do think existing incentives will maintain the next few months for sure.
1k off price
1k off if you finance with ford credit
1k off if you are a currently ford owner

Do you want the 3.73 rear axle (heavy duty towing package or FX4 package)? I'm at 4 weeks and don't even have a build date. My dealer is telling me it's because Ford can't get enough of the 3.73 rear axles. If you can live without it, it might be shorter than 8 weeks... All the dealers I talked to around here, were $1000 deposit. The big difference is that some were refundable and others were non-refundable.
I ordered my Expedition on 12-13-2017 with the tow package.
Dealer received the vehicle yesterday 2-12-2018
Picking up tomorrow!
The dealer told me I would get what ever the better incentives were - that is at time of order or delivery.

I ordered mine on Dec. 6, 2017. Put $1k down. It's Feb 14 now and I haven't heard a word. They quoted me as end-of-february delivery, so I'm expecting them to call me at some point in the next two weeks. That would bring the time from order to delivery to about 11 weeks.

Have you tried checking the status at cotus.ford.com? If you have a VIN (your dealer should know it by now, even if you don't), you can enter the VIN and it'll tell you the status of your build. If you don't have your VIN you can try looking at your order summary. If it looks anything like mine, the top right corner will show the order code. The dealer code should show up under "Ship to:" and/or "Sales Code". And you should know your last name. (You might have to try the last name of whoever at the dealer submitted the order...)

Looked up the VIN finally. Order placed Dec 6, scheduled for delivery March 20. 13/14 weeks seems more accurate rather than 8.

Let me guess, you're getting the 3.73 rear axle...
I ordered a 2011 Mustang Gt. The Salesman said 4-5 weeks after build date is given. The 19" wheels and Brake package, were a further delay. No deposit was given. The rebate will be honored or better one, if it changes. Customers are able to track assembly of vehicle and shipping. The most frustrating part was the shipping. It sat for days in a mixing lot in Michigan. The railroad parked the loaded auto carrier, 3 days, for repairs. In all, 11 days to ship Dearborn Michigan to Buffalo(about 6 hour drive). The next day after being unloaded, I was called to pick it up. The dealer/salesman rushed to get ready, because of the delays. To save time wiped it down, instead of washing it. He put micro scratches, all over the still soft paint. It was cloudy/light rain and car was parked inside. I never noticed until the next day. Don't let dealer lot boy touch it. If you do, check it under sun or very bright lights. The front fender had to be wheel buffed(by body shop). I did a 3hr hand 3M glaze and removed most of the damage. The dealership, got a bad survey review from me. Had I noticed on delivery, I could of refused it

I didn't say anything about the rear axle when placing the order. I'm guessing it's the standard one it comes with. I did order bench seating for the second row, which I hear is rare for the Platinum trim.

Same here. Platinum with bench is what I ordered and I'm being told 8 weeks. Of course, the dealership I ordered from is one in the Midwest where they were one if the first to get Expys and Gators. Maybe they have more pull due to volume?
Mine is going to be 17 weeks... Order placed on December 16, scheduled build week March 12, estimated delivery April 15.
Platinum Max, tri-coat white, HD trailer tow pkg, cargo pkg, rear seat entertainment system, ebony interior.

Ordered a Limited with tow package (which includes 3.73 rear) dealer said over 8 weeks. Agreement locks in $2000 in Ford incentives. If there are more incentives available at delivery, the dealer will pass them along. The offer is $5000 off MSRP, $500 off invoice plus the $2000 in incentives. All dealers in my area have the same deal.

Except I think most of us put our orders in long before the motor trend reviews came out...
