2013 Ford Explorer LTD 4WD Ordered

[FordService]

If I remember correctly, Etis only gives the build date. I don't recall it ever changing from that

Yep, just visited the Etis page for the Gray Ghost and it still just lists the build date.

I appreciate you lending a hand, VinceL; you’re always a huge help!

First time post short time forum reader. Ordered new xlt mid June got vin # from dealer first this week. How long before before you can get window sticker and other info.?

I ordered my XLT June 8, and am expecting the window sticker on Tuesday. The build date is 7/23 and I should take delivery around 8/6. That's my timeline with the XLT, ours might be on the line pretty close together if you ordered mid-June. It's going to take about 8-9 weeks for mine to get here from conception to delivery.

Sorry, I didn't really answer your original question, intended to, but missed it. You should be able to get your window sticker about 4-6 days before your scheduled build date. Do you know your build date? Send Cory a message or call/e-mail your dealer to see if they know when your build date is. My dealer has been great about keeping me updated, and so has Cory...once you have the build date then you can kind of estimate when the window sticker might be available.

Thanks, VinceL; you definitely lend a big hand.

Welcome to the forum, 2013silverxlt! I see your PM in my inbox. I’ll do my best to shoot a reply within the next day or so.

I appreciate the recommendation, JUtecht!

Thank you,

Dealer emailed me and told me the expected Arrival time is July 23rd. They are hoping for this Friday the 20th though.

Just checked, my Huskey Mats have passed customs and are on their way to my place!

Everything is falling into place now.

Now, to determine if I should get a bumper cover or not for the back. Seems like it might be usefull. What does everyone else think?

Thank you,

You got it, 2013silverxlt! You’ll see a reply from me by the end of today.

My tracker confirms your Explorer is moving along nicely, Matt! Please keep in mind the ETA to the dealer is still subject to change.

Dealer said it should be in Monday or possibly over this weekend.

Will have to wait until Monday to find out!

What’s the word, KanewtZ? Did you talk to your dealer yet?

Mark,

You’re very welcome! My “magic 8-ball” is good like that.

Contacted them today...not reply yet. Should it be at the dealership today?

Cheers!

Back from the Dealership. OMG what a ordeal that was. I'll post the whole story but in the end I didn't get the vehicle. I have never, in my entire life, been treated with such disrespect. I cannot believe it.

I hope others can learn from this ordeal.

 

[liratoad]

Wow! Kanewtz, so sorry to hear this. We have also wound up with a not so hot dealer and are only hanging in there because we really want this car and are substantially committed. Is there any chance, assuming the vehicle is not the problem, that you could have the car transferred to another dealer (as it is now a stock vehicle) and buy it from them?
Best of luck, whatever you decide-

[JUtecht]

What a bummer Kanewtz!! I cannot speak highly enough about my dealer, but there was another I shopped at that I was treated like a number not a customer, needless to say we didn't stick around. That's too bad, hopefully once your deal is done you won't have to deal with them again!
