Just an update. We picked up the Explorer Limited this week. Ended up with a silver 2022 sold as new with $9k discount. Really nice car, glad I waited for one with front parking cameras. We even got the big double moonroof on this one and got the 0.9% APR for 60mo.

Well the Explorer made it to German port in December. Unfortunately, Ford did not do the recall while in the states. So MAS cannot sell me the car until the recall is complete. That's on them to figure out with German Ford dealers, but it could be weeks, if not months. They also tend to drive...

I need the front way more than rear in Europe. Too many tight spaces. missing it and the front parking sensors on my F-150 and it's very expensive to retroadd. Most European cars come standard with at least front and rear sensors and you don't have to option to 60-70k tiers to even get the...

My custom order wouldn't have been built with a camera. Found a new built 2022 Limited and I swapped my order to it, delivery estimate December to Germany. It has the 360 camera, same colors and options as mine, except it has captains chairs and a moonroof. Cheaper, too and a 0.9% APR for 60 or...

Do you have an update on your order and the 360 camera delete? I just saw on MAS that my order got the delete as well. No VIN yet, but I messaged MAS to let them know without 360 camera I do not need the order. Waiting to hear back as it's a broken telephone between them and Ford (it's not a...

Checked on status today, still no VIN, but saw this: DELETE 360-Degree Camera 60X This is sad as we waited 4 months and could have gotten a Highlander with the 360 camera by now. Sadly, there are only XLT available here in Germany from MAS unless you get a custom order. Waiting on reply...

3 months and no VIN. MAS keeps telling me the order is good to go for MY23. Could have gotten a highlander by now... Does anybody have a hard stop date for MY23 manufacturing and a start date for MY24?

Checked again with MAS. Order is still in as normal for 2023 MY with no 360 camera delete. He will let me know if anything changes. Hopefully I get either a VIN or a notification soon. Suddenly a bunch of Platinum Highlanders appeared (those have the 360 cameras) which weren't available when I...

Uh-oh. I hope they don't remove the 360 on my Limited order. The only reason I went for that trim is the 360 (need for the tight spaces in Europe for the wife). Otherwise plenty of XLTs on the lot that I could have had 2 months ago.

MAS confirmed it will be a 2023 order, so not sure how. Maybe they have some separate agreement and slots. No VIN yet, though. We'll see, order was placed 5/31 in the system and they talk directly to Ford manufacturing.

This will be my order thread for a 2023 Explorer 4WD Limited 301A. I am overseas and ordered throught MAS which is not a "Ford" dealer, but they can order directly through Ford. They also don't have the standard order numbers, so until there is a VIN, it's hard to gauge when vehicle will be...

Regardless of mileage, at most oil change has to be done yearly anyway... I don't get how these engines get to these states.

I haven't used Sync 3 yet as the Explorer is still being ordered, but I have no complaints about the Sync 4 in my truck. I won't trust Google for anything to be reliable. Any Google TV OS device is not on part with competitors, I would never use their mobile OS and never have owned an Android...

Took it to France and England, too. And in the end I got scraped on base by a hit and run... go figure. But yes, it can be challenging at times. Even the Explorer will barely 'fit' in the 'garage' we have. Probably will street park it. But we have a third child on the way and the 3 series my...

Thanks! No, we are not. Being shipped overseas it takes at least 4 months. My F-150 peak chip shortage took over 9. They are aiming at October delivery, but could be as late as February next year. It might even roll off to a 2024 model if they take too much time starting the build. But once I...

We ended up ordering a 301A Limited today. The front cameras were a must and for the $3,200 over 202A we get a bunch more goodies. We will see how the Ecoboost is, I am not too thrilled with turbos.

It shows up as an option 90C (Active Park Assist 2.0) when 401A is selected (at least for 2023). What I meant to write is a base ST will not have it as an option.

We are also tempted for the Platinum for the self parking. Parking is our main concern. We fit a 3-series right now, but without sensors it's rough. The XLT 202A + Tech Pkg or Limited 300A/301A will have them standard and the 360 cameras. I have no use for navigation and Assist whatevers (most...

After long consideration for our second family of 5 vehicle (I drive a F-150), we stopped on an Exlporer. The Highlander came as a close second, but costed more. I cannot get new US spec Kia/Hyundai/Chevy through MAS (the dealer for overseas military). We don't really need more than a 200A...
