Tuttle click Irvine, tried some others but would only order at sticker, even where I used to have our truck serviced.
Great Dealership and a great dealership group! Went to the University of Arizona where they have stores and actively recruit for talent... I took a summer (of 1999) job at that Tuttle Click Ford store in Irvine! Great location and great people.

New member on here. Been browsing on here for a few weeks and found a lot info which helped finalize our order today.

Our 19 F250 6.7 recently gave her life to let everyone walk away uninjured after an accident on a freeway with our 15th month old in the backseat. Simply amazed and thankful how this aluminum works.

Now that we’ve been in a 20 expedition rental for the last few weeks, we knew it was a good time for a change. Only tow a few times a year local and below capacity so the truck was somewhat underutilizied and as a daily kind of a burden in busy Orange County. Can‘t say I’ll miss the worry about fuel contamination either. And now the wife will drive too since the expedition can actually make a u-turn and fit in a normal parking space. Still will miss that truck though.

Fortunautely we bought that truck before all the chip shortages and massive spike in hd truck pricing so we are able to move into this impressive new beast.

Ordered a Platinum Max in forged green with towing, control trac, couple other things.
said start stop couldnt be removed anymore, will have to deal with that later.
Never used the engine block heater in the diesel so didn’t order on this one.

My 4yr old and I installed a ton of things in the truck that I was able to pull out. Will be adding things to this over time and will make some posts when they are done. Air compressor, Baja designs lighting, running board lights, switch pro controller, ham radio, horn, etc. Only found a few threads around some of these so will be making new.

Looks like a lot of stuff carrys over from the f150, superduty, expeditions. I have a few custom brackets for things that should fit like builtright center console panels, sdhq light mounts etc.

Looking forward to this next chapter and sharing ideas on here.

My dealer worked with me, accepts plan pricing and even helped me with some quotes on the totaled truck to work with the insurance companies. Plan pricing would have applied if we ordered a f350 too. Welcomes referrals and places orders that seem to have a great priority number. Could be the trim i ordered but not sure what Ford’s plan is to make these. Either way, we are happy and it was super easy and convenient.

Can’t wait.
I ordered a loaded up Forged Green Timberline and love the exterior color. My buddy was looking at it yesterday in the garage and couldnt believe the it was Green. When it hit's the sun it really POPs and I love how it's stealthy grey in the evenings/shade. Congrats on your order. Sorry about your accident but it appears the truck did it's job!

I too had an F250, 2019 which was totaled. Someone hit me broadside at 40mph, flipped me over and spun me around 360. I didn't walk away but my injuries were minor. Getting a Expedition Max to replace. I'll swear by the aluminum body and how tough that truck was. Saved my life for sure.

Been a while since I’ve been in here. As we’ve all seen these suffered delay after delay. We ended up getting an explorer ST for my wife and family. Expedition wasn’t showing up any time soon.
Well the explorer st was fun, ended up being a lemon and our original expedition finally arrived late December Of 22. (Ordered 11/21). A few things were deleted along the way but with a leftover 22 and being my original order we couldn’t justify passing on this and now the proud owners of this one. Guess it was meant to be. Now to adjust to that screen

Wow - you waited 13 months, and the vehicle didn’t have all the items you ordered.

Did Ford repurchase the Explorer ST?

We had given up on it a few months after ordering. arrived without the massaging seats, park assist, auto lift gate and oddly enough with start stop. Mostly stuff we didn't care about except the darn seats. 22 ST had the massaging seats.

Had the ST for 14 months, Yeah Ford stepped up and took care of us.
