The next "Sport" run happens Late Nov, early Dec then depending your location from Chicago add approx 1.5-3 weeks shipping.
I know this because I ordered my Sport July 18th. There was a "Sport" run the 1st week of September (Yes, contrary to what others may say...they are accumulating thousands of orders for "Sports" and then building them in batches...seems every 2.5-3 months or so).
My vehicle was supposed to arrive last week on Sept 20th but got severely damaged in transit and they now have to build me a new one. Naturally my new order and VIN is being prioritized and put to the front of the line but I've been told the next "run" is late Nov/Dec ish'. Told straight out don't get too excited you're not getting a vehicle until Jan!!!
I ordered a Silver Ext. with Black/Sienna Inserts Int., adaptive cruise, moonroof, Navi, Tow Package. Unfortunately there are no similar models of dealer orders in transit that I can snag. In fact there isn't a single "Ingot Silver" in Ontario Canada regardless of interior or other options so If I want to settle for a black exterior my dealer has one on the lot right now. Unfortunately I hate black and love silver and when you're spending $50k+ I know I will forever be kicking my [MENTION=127576]ss[/MENTION] if I take a color I don't like so it looks as though I'm SOL and will have to wait. The one and "Only" single thing that is preventing me from cancelling the order and buying a Traverse, Acadia, Durango, Pilot, MDX, SantFe ect..ect... is no other competitor has a vehicle in this class and this price range with a Big [MENTION=127576]ss[/MENTION] Powerfull Turbo V6...Aside from the Explorer simply looking great, this V6 Ecoboost feature was alone about 70% of my decision maker.
The other kicker here is in anticipation of receiving my new explorer on the 20th my current vehicle (2011 loaded Chevy Equinox) is sold to my mother and my mothers vehicle sold to someone else. Come Monday morning I don't have a vehicle and I'm currently negotiating with the dealer subsidizing part of the cost and putting me into a "Rental" vehicle for the next 3-4 months wait.
I switched from GM to Ford and so fare we're not off to a good start!!!
