...Thanks to Crystal, Cory and Ashley who answered the mail and tracked it for me!

You're very welcome, jetpilot747! I'm glad to hear that you and your Explorer finally met; I bet the wait was worth it. :)

Vin Issued: 06/14

Congrats!!! A week with your ride are you still smiling?

Still smiling! Lots to get use to. Seems like a new experience everyday. So far I have about 180 miles and getting an average of 10.3 MPG. That part is scary. All city and have not driven over 45mph. I understand that is not unusual at the beginning. Already ordered me a WeatherTech Cargo Mat. It amazes me all the safety features this vehicle has. Reading about it and seeing them work is two different things. Very nice back-up camera, etc. Love, love, love it!!
 






I'm over here in Germany and my Sport rolled off assembly July 30th; ETA to Baltimore port was 8/9 but it arrived 8/5. Now its supposed to sit in Balt. port until estimated boat departure of 8/18 and arrival in German port 8/30; then maybe I can actually pick it up around 9/9 (week of). The wait is killing me..hurry the heck up already so I can play!
 






Got my Sport yesterday (9/6); love it! It was a good 350 mile drive from the port to home yesterday; good time with the vehicle. However, not impressed with the seats (drivers). This is supposed to be a sport, which should mean supporting, hugging seats that you shouldn't really slip in; but that's not the case. It really does need some side bolsters to say the least. Also the drivers seat seems to not be flat; the bottom angles down to the right a bit towards the center armrest/console. But if this is my only complaint, not bad :) Its very nice and can't wait to get some more break-in miles on it before I install the Lund tune.
 






I ordered my 2014 Sport on 8/9

VIN was provided on 8/15

Finally got the window sticker on 9/6 with a build date set for 9/12

Hope there are no unnecessary delays in getting it delivered. Was told by Crystal the delivery date is holding steady at 10/8.....fingers crossed.

I only have option 401A upgrade plus all-weather mats and liner.

It'll be here before you know it, khill297. The wait is the hardest part, but you'll forget about it once your new Explorer is in your driveway. :)

Any updates from other members on typical wait time? Just ordered mine yesterday and have been told the usual 6 to 8 weeks. The wait is the tough part no doubt!

Safe driving everyone!
 






I posted this in another thread, but copying here....

I picked up my Sport this past weekend. It came in last Wednesday to Randall Ford in Ft. Smith, Arkansas from the Chicago. It took exactly 7 weeks from the time I ordered to the time it arrived. Ordered on Aug 7, build started Sept 4, finished Sept 12, arrived Sept 25.
 






Thanks jran76 for the info - hope you are enjoying the new ride.
 






Thanks. So far it is really nice. I traded in an Audi Q7 for it, and I'll post a review/comparo in the next few days.
 






Good to hear and looking forward to your detailed impressions. I am trading in a BMW and was pretty impressed (so far) by the ride quality.
 






Christmas eve delivery!

What a perfect time to receive my new 14 Sport Tux Black. All options but tow package. Tint, calipers, suspension drop, livernois corsa exhaust/tune, front lic plate delete all to be performed in the following month. Looking forward to it.
 






Got my VIN last Thursday and waiting...I have two cousins at the plant that wil be escorting her down the assemble line.

Congratulations on ordering, MarineGrunt51! As I mentioned on another thread you posted on, I'll be happy to provide you with updates on your Explorer's status. Just send me a PM with your VIN and I'll do the rest. :)
