Anyone see the price increase on the window sticker even though it was ordered prior to the effective increase on May 8? Ordered mine 3/5 and it reflects the price increase. Does anyone know if this is adjusted at delivery?

You should be locked into the price at time of order and it may go down from there if new incentives come out between order and delivery dates. I've never seen it any different unless you have a really, really, really bad dealer.

I noticed the price increase on the sticker but I was told I’d be locked in to the price from when I ordered the car back in March. And hopefully there will be additional incentives by the time I get the car.

Just spoke to Ford Marketing about my order. Was told that mine is built and on the ground awaiting shipping. No other info. Been showing as "In production" since June 10. Awaiting call back from dealer who is contacting the factory to inquire.

I placed a "price hold" deposit on a 25st that is "in transit" at my suburban Chicago dealer. They said the deliveries are being held by Ford until they move more of the 23's and 24's off dealer lots. Said it could be 2 weeks or 2 months. Doing my best to be patient.

Yesterday a Ford marketing rep told me they are being held for quality checks.

If this is truly the reason - that would be ridiculous.
If you were 100% going to buy it, so it's a done-deal, I wonder if it would make a difference.
I mean - what would it matter if it was already sold.

Honestly, for 2023's to be sold on a lot, they need to be supremely discounted.
For Memorial Day I saw one for $10K off, but we're talking about two model years old, getting beat by the sun and elements, and even worse known quality issues that may require the vehicle to go right in for recalls or be repair-ridden soon.
Yes, it's a terrible position for Ford/dealers to be in, but putting the cost onto customers is a problem too.

Withholding 2025s in order to sell 2023s and 2024s won't work unless Ford want to take the L on 2025 sales. Ford just has to decide how they want to take the L.

I'll take a 2023 Explorer ST for about $25-40k off MSRP though.

Yes, if you have a signed a contract from the order date.

Yep, I read that article also. It’s crazy that they have enough space to hold that many vehicles. I hope they start releasing them soon.

Zooming in, these three nearby lots hold a lot of cars.
