The Red ST I ordered 8 Jan finally came into the Dealer today. One more twist, I noticed on V-LMS it shows it has some damage. So I called the Dealer, and they said yes, two of the three Explorers they got in on this shipment had damage. Ours has a minor scratch on the front fender. I'll go look...

Ok....here's some insight on one possible explanation of "ON HOLD" (when you're in TRANSIT, not before it's shipped). Made multiple emails and calls to Ford Motor Co., Dealer and United Road. AT FIRST....it was United said it was Ford that put it on hold. Ford said nope, must have been United...

Thought the one I ordered 8 January was FINALLY going to be here today. V-LMS/VMISS tracking site had gone from inactive....to pending pickup last Friday (and Ford confirmed car was at the Rail Yard in nearby Birmingham)....to pending pickup with an Estimated Delivery of June 28 late last night...

That's EXACTLY what I did....and I've never looked back. The one I ordered 8 January has still never come....and for now, my daughter is waiting for it. But she's starting to look around for one on a Dealer lot now too. And the one I ordered ....has said "Shipped" on the Ford site since 13 June...

I'm sure you're thinking what most of us are thinking.....about damn time!!!!!!!!!!!o_O It's going to be over a year by the time you get it no doubt. You've got far more patience than I do!

Reposted from another post I made in another thread:

Yep.......you can either manually turn it off....or ....the AUTOMATIC method is based on THREE things: 1. you have the driver door closed 2. you place transmission out of park (ie, D or R) 3. you give it some gas The moment you give it gas, it AUTOMATICALLY takes the brake off.

Saw another interesting article yesterday related to Ford not shipping vehicles and stockpiling them in various places (Kentucky race track, Auction sites, etc.). Seems OVER ONE MILLION dollars in F150s recently was stolen from one of these lots filled with vehicles Ford hasn't shipped. Says...

According to two different sites....your vehicle....special order K77B, VIN 1FMSK8DH3NGB66170 is indeed in transit. I wasn't able to find any more details, like when it would arrive. Says it is shipping to Shottenkirk Ford in West Burlington, IA. It's a customer/Special order. But I did see it...

Good analysis/chronology of the dates/times. It's looking like my original order might come in (for my daughter) in just under 6 months? Saw an interesting YouTube video today of thousands of F150s sitting on lots....several thousand for instance at the Kentucky Speedway near where the F150s...

I've seen this before on a few.....you put the info in and it shows NOTHING. Not sure why that is. I've seen it about 3 times now...and yours is one of the 3 I've seen that on. Eventually though, I'm confident it WILL populate with more info. As for the United Road, many have had that issue...

I use ALL of the following: 1. The Ford "official" site you listed....which seems to be down more than it is up....and often, unreliable or late with info - https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking 2. This site, built and ran by another member on here....and listed elsewhere in this LONG...

Mine got built on 14 March....then was awaiting shipment for almost exactly THREE MONTHS. It just shipped this week on Monday, 1 day short of 3 months since it was built. My daughter is waiting on it ... since I gave up on it and got another one I found......... As I've said several times...

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...

I hadn't thought much about that....but now that you mention it, I can see why folks might think that. That's the Alabama state flag on the front license plate on mine. I always had an Alabama flag plate on the front of my F350, but I think I might take it off the Explorer....because law...

Mine had two recalls.....the rear bolt fracture recall, which they fixed in minutes....and a "rarer" one....the Compliance Recall 22C02 – Fuel Filler Tube End Form. That one only effected Explorers and Aviators made between 6 Dec and 6 Jan. When they went to sell me the vehicle, that one showed...

Same dealer has a Black ST on the lot for sale. Mine BTW came with the rear heated seats and the environmental controls.....unlike the one I had ordered. And of course, the full technology package. So if you want a black ST....and want to use an A plan, they'll do it. They also gave me top...

Ok....NOW, finally for the rest of the story (somewhat?). Given the scarceness of these cars....the LONGGG waits....and the "dog eat dog" world we live in, I wasn't about to divulge what I was doing BEFORE I got "the bird in the hand" and out of the bush. Now that I have it...

I am canceling/abandoning my order. I've decided to move on from it. Good luck everyone!

The "school" being put on either in Utah or Ashville for ST buyers/owners. Ford is putting it on this year......many/various dates....you enroll using your VIN on the website...and basically, you pay to get there....they put you and a guest up for the night feed you three meals....and give you a...
