Does anyone know when the ford tracking website updates as the car being delivered? My new explorer is set to be delivered any day and has been in transit for a couple weeks now and getting very anxious. Hoping for a delivery of today, think it may already be at the dealership and it hasn’t been updated on the website yet, any insight?

Ford Explorer ST Vehicle Order Tracking
- Thread starter STFan
- Start date
Several people have reported it not being updated until well after delivery or never at all.
My dealer texted me on 6/6 when mine shipped, the tracking website didn't show it as shipped until 6/10. It was marked as built on 5/26.
I was given an ETA of 6/14-6/20, it's Chicago to Detroit, should be pretty quick, but I suspect they mark the vehicle as shipped as soon as the shipping company accepts the order and not when the company actually picks it up.

My ST was scheduled to be delivered June 3rd-9th. I drove to the dealership last night and didn’t see it on the lot. Tried checking the order status site, though it failed to load. When I checked a few minutes ago, it now says final preparation…so I’m hopeful it arrived today! (Minus a few chips

I ordered my ST on April 7. I received a confirmation from Ford the same day and haven't heard anything since. I called the dealer this morning because I decided to add the panoramic roof. The salesman said it wouldn't change my place in line and that they would add it. He also said I was a priority code of 10. He called me back and said that if I wanted to add it I would lose my place because my priority was now a 2. I told him to not change the order because I don't want to start over. I still haven't had any emails from Ford to schedule a production date. Has anyone ever heard of a priority code of 2? He said the dealer can't assign a 2 code.
I had a similar situation. I ordered on March 2. I called my dealer a few weeks ago with a change and he said mine was priority code 02, so making changes would be difficult, but I wouldn't lose my place in line. He needed to call the zone manager and ask them to change the code to 10 or higher. My dealer would make the change then follow up with the zone manager and ask that the code be moved back to 02.
Long story, short; I was able to make a change to an order with a priority code of 02. I have since verified with Ford both the change and the 02 code.
Good luck!

I've thought about driving by the dealership to just see if it happened to be there, but my dealership is about 45 minutes away and would HATE to drive all the way there for it to not be there and me be let down even more than I was before. The anticipation is killing me, I wish the had a better way to track the shipping of the vehicle like they have on packages through the mail. Oh well, hopefully it shows up in the next few days.
So finally the ST I ordered back on 8 January, has actually finally shipped also. I have that confirmed through both the Ford Tracking site and an alternative site. So it may actually finally show up THIS time...the fifth "window" they gave me over all these months. This 5th window is for 24-30 June. Like Deathmonkey, a family member....my daughter....has stated she wants to buy it....but as I noted before, they aren't giving her the $1000 I would have gotten for ordering it as an incentive.....and ....they've raised the price considerably from the base price I was paying. She's still getting an A plan like I was, but the cost of the car.....even though it was made LONG ago (built on 14 March)....Ford says she's not the original buyer, they're going to jack the price up a couple of thousand dollars on the MSRP. That's on her to deal with.
And no, I've never looked back on giving up on THIS order and buying the Carbonized Gray I found 75 miles away. The deal was a few thousand more....but I got the moonroof and 4WD with that slightly higher price. I'm thrilled I have my car NOW (actually, over a week) and ended the agonizing wait. If my daughter actually gets the car I ordered, all the more power to her.....we'll have two STs in the family then. If the one I ordered actually comes in the end of June, it will be JUST UNDER SIX MONTHS on the ordering process/wait.

Hey all!
Just took delivery of a 2022 Explorer ST In Star White Tri.
Ordered 1/21/22
Priority Code 19
Took delivery at Dealership 6/8/22.
Has pretty much every option; 401A, Twin Panel Moonroof, Premium Tech Package. It DID have contour seats and the hands free tailgate opening installed. It DID NOT have 2nd row climate control installed, just the blank.

Thinking of canceling my order (confirmed on 5/30). Dealer says they have to include a ‘Resistall’ exterior/interior protectant for $1,295. Absolute bs in my opinion. I told them to remove it from the sales draft which prompted the General Sales Mgr to respond with a long email why it has to be done to all their vehicles. I replied back saying either drop it or I drop the order. All this tells me is when the vehicle actually arrives I’m in for painful and lengthy visit of dealing with their sales mouths. This is the whole reason I went with a custom order in the first place; to avoid sales talk that I have zero patience for.
PenFed is offering lower finance rates for members that purchase via TruCar. Never used TruCar but there’s a few participating Ford Dealers within a 2hr drive that responded at MSRP. Exploring that as an alternate avenue.
