Thanks for the update. Ours is still the same as well. Order confirmed 4-18, build week 10-13.
Still have 10-6 as the build date. Getting optimistic. Not sure if you saw the post in the 2026 order guide thread (https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/2026-order-guide.59106/post-537252)
Looks like they've isolated the vibration issues for the 24" wheels as well.

Ford Cuts Production of Five Trucks, SUVs After Fire at Aluminum Supplier — The Wall Street Journal
Crucial aluminum supplier knocked offline until next year; moneymaking F-150 trucks vulnerable
If that’s behind an Apple and/or WSJ paywall…
A fire at a critical aluminum supplier a couple weeks ago has caused Ford to put production of all vehicles built at their Kentucky plant on hold. This includes the Expi and the Navi. The downtime is only expected to be a couple weeks and Ford is trying to just pull forward some downtime previously scheduled for later this year. That said, they are prioritizing the F150 as it’s, obviously, their moneymaker.
Got a couple more alerts over the past couple of days. Looks like it's shipped/shipping. Might get it at the end of the month from the looks of it. It's being shipped to the Hartford CT area so you have an idea of distance from the plant. I'll let you know when it arrives or if I get anything else before the next update.

I'm curious what's going to happen with mine. It went into production on 10/7, actually ahead of schedule, and sat there since then. I wonder if the Expedition pause due to the fire is going to impact or not. I would have assumed since it started being built before the pause they'd finish it (or have already and the site just hasn't updated), but who knows.
If your Expedition made it through the Body Shop, which it probably has since its first production date is 10/7, then the Aluminum plant fire won't be an issue. That being said, there are other supplier constraints, thanks to tariffs might be a factor. It appears that any Aluminum destined for Ford have been focused on F150 (the 'Cash Cow") production. Ford is testing the quality of Aluminum from other plants of the affected Aluminum producer in foreign countries. Unfortunately, even if the quality is there, I suspect Trump's tariffs may impact costs and pricing
Any luck with yours lately? Mine is saying the estimate delivery is between 10/18 and 10/24 now instead of 10/24 and 10/30. I am hoping that they will let me take in on or after 11/1 because that means property taxes will get prorated for the year for me.
