One last thing. I had usually been going with Weathertech liners on recent vehicles. But since the 3d versions were not available yet for the 2020 Explorer Limited Hybrid, I found the following on Amazon and ordered them a couple of weeks ago. Husky Liners 99321 Weatherbeater Front & 2nd Seat...

I had the exact same thing happen to me about requiring a password newly being required. Since I had an existing account with Ford, but had not used in in several years, I tried it and it did not like my "last used" password. Then I tried it with "forgot my password" option and it said it sent a...

Hey--I'm totally satisfied with the new ESP. After 9 of my now 12 Fords and dealing with a number of different dealers, I realize that a dealership can make money on an ESP. However, comparing the price I got after a direct from Ford quote, it was OK. My driving habits are around 6000 miles per...

No, but I did get a reasonable price. I wanted a 72-month, 48,000-mile, $0 deductible ESP. I got it from my dealer for $100 less buying directly from Ford. I also was able to pay for it with a credit card I have that gives me 5% back and accumulates for the past 4 years. It can only be used to...

FINAL UPDATE -- Closed on the vehicle including Ford extended warranty and got to drive home 10 miles after sunset. Ignorance defines my most of my current knowledge, but it really does have a number of new and interesting Bells & Whistles on board. Zeeb, I hope your weight is a short one...

TODAY - 1/27/2020 -- My 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid 4WD is at the dealers and being preped. I hope everyone that has been on our extended wait is getting theirs today or very very soon.:party:

Still on track. Dealer delivery set as 7 Days out with arrival estimated on 1/28/2020.

Mine is still on track, "In Transit", with 10 days to go and with "Dealer Delivery Est.. 1/28/2020". I am looking forward to tomorrow when the days to delivery drops down to a single digit number. It does include the Intelligent 4 Wheel Drive which was a $2195 option. Hope the winter snow or...

Mine just changed from "Awaiting Shipping" to "In Transit" today and shows arrival in 12 days and "Dealer Delivery Est.1/28/2020", the same day as yours. If it comes by rail to Denver, couldn't it be in Colorado Springs by the 28th? Earlier, when I was trying to keep up with what's going on, it...

Update -- Status now shows "In Transit" and expected at dealer in 12 days. That's January 28th. It normally comes by rail to about 140 miles from my local dealer and then by truck. I hope this delivery date holds and that yours gets to Utah as fast as possible.

Delivery now shows arrival in 12 days at my dealers location.

Dealer has received same information about delivery date. Also, the "13 days" in the Tracking App was 14 days yesterday. I hope that the information is correct and will report when it finally arrives at the dealer.

My long wait is about over. Build of Explorer Limited Hybrid 4WD was 12/22/2019. Tracking information is: So, thanks for the ability to create and post this thread. I'll leave it for others wishing all of them a successful new Ford or Lincoln.

My 2020 hybrid status has just changed to In Production. So it looks like the build this Sunday, 12/12, may be the date for my 12th Ford Product over the past 51 years.:chug:

That was a Build Your Own test order. My actual order was a customer order on 8/13 and was for the same as that test order except for color. Here's hoping the window sticker data is correct and that mine will be built this coming Sunday. :wave:

Sometime around late September Ford added a number of Accessories to the Build & Price App. When building a Explorer Limited Hybrid with AWD the protector @ $140 was added for behind second row. Here is a test order for that vehicle I just did and a picture for that accessory.

I did include both splash guards and crossbars in my order as I have done on my last 4 explorers. I added the Ford Cargo Area Protector since Weather Tech told me several months ago that they were only in the pre-production planning for the 2020 Limited Hybrid Explorers but had no projected...

FINALLY -- The Lock In Date for me was the date my Window Sticker became available. The current Blend Date and Build Date are both 12/22/2019 for this Special Order, 2020 Ford Explorer Limited Hybrid with 4WD.:party:

Just got information from my dealers weekly report, but he was not available to answer a question. The report shows my vehicle with a Lock In Date as next Monday, December 12th. Can someone familiar with the terms on that report tell me what Lock In Date means. I wondered if it might be the...

I am waiting for an AWD version also. I found Hybrids in Texas as indicated. However, I believe they are the first ordered for dealer stock but all are RWD versions. I also found similar on order for stock Hybrids in the Atlanta, Nashville, and Birmingham. All of then are RWD versions. I assume...

Finally, some really good news. Dealers in the Houston, Texas area have just received 10 2020 Explorer Limited Hybrid's that were Dealer Ordered. Now, the ice is broken and maybe all who are waiting Customer Ordered versions will soon be coming.:party:

Window sticker mumbo jumbo ? My point in posting was to understand which of Dates 2-4 is the actual build date. Some of us who ordered 3 months ago are inquisitive and would like to know as we wait. Thanks for your reply.

A little more on Ford Explorer VIN dates. The pic below shows the 4 dates that I find on a 2020 Explorer Hybrid VIN. What information Dates 2-4 mean is what I was referencing in the previous post.

Below are examples of real Dealer Ordered 2020 Explorer Limited Hybrids that confuse me - - - Top Blend Date Outside-Bottom-Left Date Outside-Bottom-Right Date 120190928 11/03/2019 120190928 120191025 10/25/2019...

peterk9 What does the bottom left sticker date mean?

blwnsmoke should be able to give you a better answer than I can. To the best of my understanding, the bottom left date on the sticker is the build date. My checking shows two dealer ordered hybrids in the A76000's with that date 11/08/2019 in one and 11/13/2019 in the other. My order includes...

Finally - looks like they have started Explorer Limited Hybrid production late last week. Dealer ordered versions appear to be coming of the production line for Texas now. Great news. I hope that customer ordered vehicles will begin to come soon. :):):)

So, an Lincoln hybrid has now been scheduled for production. I'm crossing my fingers that they will soon schedule an Explorer Limited hybrid. If any one finds out anything about that, please post it. Thanks.

Well, still no blend date on my Explorer Limited Hybrid. However, as of the 25th of October, one of the dealers in my area had a "Dealer Ordered" Explorer manufactured with the V-sequence VIN higher that mine. So, I assume that once they start production on the Chicago Hybrid line they will...

Thanks for your response Peter. If Ford received their EPA Okay by August 30th , had created the new Chicago hybrid production line, and will have produced over 100,000 2020’s there by this week (according to available Dealer's Ordered information); it looks like other things might be slowing...

After checking production tracking of my VIN, I just called Ford Corporate Customer Service (800-392-3673) for any information on 2020 Explorer Limited Hybrid production status. The answer I got was disappointing. They said that production would not start until December of 2019. There advise...

Still waiting patiently for some blend date information on my VIN. I'm wondering if anyone has yet received a build or blend date for a 2020 Limited Explorer Hybrid?

Again, as always, thanks blwnsmoke for the information. Is there any way to find where the A-sequence stands at the end of a week?

My assumption is that the number is possibly the relative sequence of vehicles in the plant by line. Just checking the A-line(s) of 5 available currently produced VINs for 2020 Limited Explorers (non-hybrids) their numbers are in order by their production date. In fact 2 of them, at different...

Awaiting production scheduling. If anyone has received both a VIN and a production schedule date for a 2020 Explorer Limited Hybrid and will post the last 5-digits of their VIN, I might get some idea of when mine might get scheduled. My Number is 26436. :)

Got my VIN number this morning. Has not yet been scheduled. :bounce:

Thanks blwnsmoke. Hopefuly we will get release of some Explorer VINs before long now as we get into November.

Now that there is a documented VIN for an Aviator Hybrid, I have two questions for anyone able to answer or discuss. 1. Since the Chicago Assembly facility is or has set up a new production line for hybrids, I assume it will produce both Aviator and Explorer Hybrids. Is that correct? 2...

Thanks Zeeb for all your Help. Still waiting on finding the first to receive a VIN for a 2020 Explorer Limited Hybrid.

Thanks. I'm trying to see how they are sequencing the hybrid production. Does your VIN number end with A#####, or the beginning letter something other than A? Also, is the first number after the alphabetic A or other 0 or a higher number. I'm hoping that the dam may have been broken and a...
