2025 ST Deliveries?

scootertrash · Jun 8, 2024

Has anybody that had an early order or build date received their ST yet or have a delivery date?
Just curious how long people are waiting for their cars after being built.
Mine is being built this week and I live 2 hours south of Chicago and was hoping the delivery wouldn’t take that long.

Thanks!

Mark

One of my local dealers has 22 units listed as in transit on their website, with 7 being ST trims. When I looked up the window stickers, most were built last month, with some around 5/17 and 5/24, but none have been delivered yet. I've inquired with them to see if they have an ETA and to see if CHI has a QA hold on them or if they have actually shipped.

Thanks!

I just got the following response:

"Every 25 Explorer we ordered is in CHI on QA hold just as you predicted. Due to that our database ETA only shows TBD for delivery date. Hopefully, we will know something soon."

I asked them to let me know as soon as they have an updated ETA.

No deletes showing on window stickers.

Any update on ETA? I have one waiting in Chicago. Built but no shipping info yet. For reference, I am also located 2 hours south of Chicago.

That was not where deletes were listed on Window Stickers.
That is the area where they state what comes on those vehicles based on trim level.
The DELETES were listed at the bottom, where add-ons/itemization occurs.

For some reason the link was for page 7, not the post that I intended that showed all of the stickers:

The new water-spot, hail-resistant exterior paint, used exclusively on the 2025 Explorers, has to sit a minimum of six months to cure prior to any shipping related plastic protection being applied to the exterior paint.

That... has to be - a joke... RIGHT?
They can't bake it? My front steps cure faster than that.

You can tell I wasn't paying attention at the time - My brain was like "After the backup camera sh**?!" haha

Water based paints for vehicles dry and cure pretty quick
That has To be a typo
Thicker elastomeric coatings for vehicles is cured in less than 12 hrs

I wish they would bring back Atlas blue.

Instead of these lifeless 1950's pastel colors.
