Received my ST. No rear controls delete. Recall popped-up on Ford app. That V6 is strong! Stone Blue is really nice. Pics later. Said late-April at the earliest when I first posted. I was correct.

Interesting. Very interesting. Mine is sitting at the dealer, just about ready to pick-up (superficial delivery damage being fixed). Loaded sans moonroof. I'm going to contact the dealer...

I'm purchasing my 3rd Ford at Granger. 4 1/2-5 hour drive, so I haven't seen it. I am hoping that it is complete without any deleted items, esp. with the 2nd row controls. I don't trust Chicago area dealers at all and it's difficult to beat Granger's deals. I would probably have gone with...

Nice Aviator! Told ya' you'd be driving up and down the Fox River before me, but didn't think it would be in a Lincoln! Mine was shipped and has been at the dealer for several days now (confirmed by e-mail). I have a sneaky suspicion that Ford shipped it for the dealer so they could install...

Note that the BOF states: "• Currently, we do not foresee an impact to retail customer orders." Meaning the delete is for fleet and stock orders. At least, that is how I read it.

From Blue Oval Forums: PRODUCT OFFERING CHANGE - 2022MY Explorer (Multi-Contour Seat Availability) Effective April 4th, all Fleet and Stock Explorers will be produced without Multi-Contour Seats (MCS) RETAIL ORDERS • Premium Technology Package (65P) will remain an orderable option but will be...

Then, as suspected, late last night, e-mail stating not being delivered until 2nd week in MAY! Still in sync with my "late-April at the earliest" prediction.

Built. Awaiting shipment.

Stone Blue? Nice! Edit: Just saw the other thread. I, too, have the Stone Blue ordered. Beauty!

Atlas Blue really looks great!

Well, seeing that customer orders are probably not going to be "shipped" until early-to-mid May, that article pretty much means nothing. The 3-month bump (mine was 5.11) means, under these parameters, that it's only a 2-3 week difference. Ford's been hoping that many shortages (read: chips)...

Nice! I saw a load of Explorers (not STs as far as I could tell) going westbound on I-80 down by I-355 Thursday on a carrier. It seems some are being shipped.

Heck, just the gas price alone would be very expensive for pick-up from just out here in the 'Boonies!

I don't know. What will you do?

Strange. Explorers are built on Chicago's far south side. Why take one all the way to Detroit then put on rail?
