For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

[blwnsmoke]

Check with Seni, my original build date was 3-14 but the actual date (found out yesterday) is 3-17 and I still don't have a window sticker.

Ill wait till Monday, she is very busy and dont want to bother her twice this week.

Just checked and my window sticker was available.. build date of 3/17. Best part is the plant approved the addition of the inflatable seatbelts.

I got mine today as well, build date 3-17.

My build date is 3/18 so that means I should see one tomorrow - if they come out on Sunday. Otherwise maybe later today or Monday. Getting closer

well suppose to be built 3/14 (TODAY) or at least "week of" and still no window sticker Hope that doesn't mean I am delayed. Good luck to everyone else.

You can hope your build date is Fri or Sat. I didn't get my window sticker until last Sat for Thursday build and I doubt much happened on Sun. Good Luck!

Hey all,

This is Seni with Ford Customer Service. As most of you know, I am unable to moderate this page or its emails during the weekend. I really enjoy bringing you the latest information on your Explorer babies and am quite anxious myself to hear who has or will receive them this week. I will do my best to return emails to everyone who PMed me this weekend, today. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Hi,
Does being able to get your sticker mean the build date is solid?
I got mine today; build date 3/16
Thanks

 

[blwnsmoke]

No, there could be a rescheduling. If it gets rescheduled, your sticker will be changed so you can track it that way.

did you add those on your special order? or is that installed later? wondering how they will handle this.

Added it to my special order. Dealer said once ford pulls the order it cant be modified. They were shocked it let them modify it 3 weeks after I placed it. My order then showed "pending plant approval" and low and behold it is on my wondow sticker now so they approved it.

I dont think it can be dealer installed from the comments I read. My guess is it has to do with sensors being needed, computer possibly flashed to control it etc.

Just got my window sticker this morning Build date is still Friday!

I actually pulled it up using the same URL that you can find on dealer websites showing labels -

Great news for you. I would love to hear about them when you get them. Like if the seatbelt is stiffer, etc.

And to think, I skipped that option because I didn't want to wait.

I kind of hope you are right. I'm not sure I feel good about mine being built on the day where 5,000 others are built.

Token57634,

You have nothing to worry about. Let me introduce you to a little word called Fordism I want to share this with you to ease your worry about being 1 of 5000 in a build day. LOL (I am just joking with you!) Here is a quick read that I found on Wikipedia under Ford.

"Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines. Henry Ford's methods came to be known around the world as Fordism by 1914."

Trust our Fordism! Keep in contact with me and I will continue to track your Explorer! Enjoy the rest of your week!

Thanks, Seni! I certainly will. My Ex should be built today! So I'll give it a couple more days before I bug you with finding out where it's at.

I had a build date of today. The window sticker still says today..does that mean the build is happening?

I wonder too, is this the date it rolls out of the factory or is it the start of production, ie how long does it take to make an Ex. Mine's on the schedule for tomorrow.

 

[Token57634]

Just got confirmation today that my Ex has been built (build date on the sticker was 3/15)! Also confirmed today on syncmyride that sync has been installed. It's not yet in transit, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a delivery early next week (or even by the end of the week would be great).

 

[blwnsmoke]

Hoping to be able to register my ex on syncmyride tomorrow. Should have confirmation tomorrow morning that it was built.
