What's your status?

Border - Thanks for the review, glad to hear you're enjoying the new ride!

I have an HTC Evo, which android phones were you using to connect to SYNC? I know HTC has different a different bluetooth stack than Samsung and Moto so different android phones might not all perform the same way.

Also, I noticed yesterday that they still hadn't included the option to request at MY2012 Explorer brochure, but that with the updates to the site this morning you can now request one. I got the $750 cash offer from my 2011 brochure so here's to hoping they put something in there for MY2012!

I'll take anything at this point since it seems like there won't be any incentives at least for August...my car is supposed to be delivered 8/29 so maybe I'll hold off picking it up until 9/1 or 9/2 to see if any incentives pop up.

My phone is an HTC Incredible 2 (2 of them, me and the wife). They worked very well so far. I have to play around and experiment to see why and how to prevent an indexing of all phone data, not just the contacts.

I talked to my dealership today and it sounds like Ford has really stepped up production of the Explorers. I ordered my 2012 last monday and the order was accepted by Ford this past Friday.

I sent you a Message Cory, hopefully you can get me more info than the dealership is offering right now.

The Dealership is telling me that 4-6 weeks is actually a good time frame now instead of the 8-12 weeks or longer some have been getting and the nav parts shortage doesn't seem to be a factor right now.

Keep us in the loop Texas_Ex with what you decide to do!

Border_Explorer,
Have you tried sending a message to Rebecca from the In-Vehicle Technology team (Username: FordIVTteam) to see what she can research on that?

If you haven’t already, check your inbox, Cjrams777! I think you’ll like the good news! :D

Any window stickers for those of you with build dates next week? My build date was scheduled for August 8th and no window sticker yet.

Still no window sticker here either.
 






No sticker for me yet either. According to Cory's message he sent me the approximate date mine should be available is tomorrow 8/4.

Nope. Same supposed build date as you, too. I think I may crash Ford's system one of these days because I check so much.

Looks like we're in the same boat, Disney. I'll be checking tomorrow morning, but please let me know once you see your window sticker available!
 






Ordered a 2012 Explorer Limited 4WD at dealer on 7/11. Dealer said they could only schedule one order per week (starting week of 7/18) and there were two orders in front of me. My order is supposed to be "scheduled" this week.

Since everyone I was dealing with at the dealer has left the dealership (they are undergoing a transition due to an acquisition), I sent a PM to Cory to see if he can get more information on my order.

It's tough to wait, especially since we were all set to drive away in a 2011 model (almost exactly what we wanted except with a few more features) on 7/11, but decided to factory order to eliminate unwanted features and save some money.
 






I actually have a window sticker - a 2012 Ford Ex Limited, 301A & Tow Package. I originally placed the order for a 2011 on June 7th, and the dealer changed it to a 2012 around the last weekend of June. I sent Cory a message last week, and he gave me an estimated build date of August 8th. According to my sticker, it looks like it will be built on August 9th, and my dealer states that the ETA is the 22nd of August. Hope that helps!
 






Still no sticker yet as of this posting, soon I hope. Looks like Jimmy-B and I are in the same line up with similar dates so far. Hope to have a sticker by weeks end. Border hows the new 2012 doing, any more updates?:thumbsup:
 






Ordered on 7/14, still no VIN or updates!

For those who have VIN's and have been told they have a build date of the 8th what is your production number from the VIN? I have a VIN but like everyone else no window sticker yet. My production number is in the high 11 thousands but I can't remember the exact number. I believe it's 11933 but I'm not 100% on that.

I've got time on my side because I'm not going to pick it up until Oct but after all the crap with military car sales I'm following my build close. I don't think I should be this excited to spend 50k. :D

I know the wait sucks. Once I got a VIN I was more patience since I knew it was in the queue. The 2012 is great so far no major complaints. I will be going on a long trip this coming weekend and I will post my thoughts early next week when I return.
 






what a coincidence. some of us have same build dateof Aug 8th and same ETA of Aug 22nd. Yet we purchased from different dealers and we are in different parts of the country :-)

I'm guessing ours will travel together to Ayer where they will part ways.
 






My order was placed 7/11 by dealership and I was able to see the Window Sticker today. Build date is 8/8. Expected delivery is 8/29, per dealer.

Hmmm,

I reveived my VIN on the 27th and was told the build date was also the 8th but no window sticker. What is your build number from the VIN?
