awight Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 On 3/6/2019 at 12:39 AM, ice-capades said: Until further notice, the 2020MY Explorer Hybrid Limited will not be eligible for scheduling. Is this still the case? I recently placed an order for the Hybrid, would like to know if that means it's going to be months behind the all-gas version. The dealer didn't say that the hybrid was on some sort of "no production plan" list. Thanks for sharing all this information, it's very helpful.

I may know more once Ford releases the weekly FDNB (Fleet Distribution News Bulletin) which is usually available on Saturday. At least the past few weeks, the New York Region office is releasing less information to Dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, my dealer stated the were going to use their allocation. Don’t have VIN yet but wanted know any idea when this would schedule? All vehicle scheduling, with the exception of Fleet orders, are based on a Dealer's available scheduling allocation and a number of other factors... number of other retail orders a Dealer may have in the USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank), priority codes, commodity issues, etc. A retail order with priority code 10 should schedule ahead of any other retail order unless there are other retail orders with the same priority code that are unscheduled. Each Dealer's USOB (orders, priority codes) is independent of any other Dealers. If your Dealer has Super Duty allocation available for scheduling this week, your order should schedule for production the week of 06/03/2019 or 06/10/2019. Regular order scheduling is done on Thursday. Your Dealer has 24/7 access to any order status information and updates and are your most direct source for information. Unfortunately, not all Dealers know, understand or are involved with the details of order allocation, scheduling and tracking. If your Dealer contact isn't able to provide you with the information you require, don't hesitate to talk directly with the Sales Manager, General Manager or the individual that manages the dealership's order bank. There's a lot of resources here on the BOF that will give you the information you'll need to understand the order allocation, scheduling and tracking processes. If you need additional assistance, don't hesitate to ask us here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, any info when they are going to start building the Aviator GT? There's no information noted at the Scheduling Toolbox for either the "OK to Build" status or the Aviator Grand Touring model. It usually takes a while to reach the "OK to Buy" for an all-new model but perhaps someone who works for a Lincoln dealership can help answer your questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packet Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Question for you guys.... I ordered a 2019 Navigator about 5 weeks ago from my local dealer. I have been trying to get the order number for VIN from the dealer but they have been super sketchy about getting me that and have had excuse after excuse. They keep telling me it could take 3-5 months to get me one as I wanted configured. I finally confronted the sales manager today and they are now saying they did not have any allocations to place my order but it is in now but it should not cause any delays in getting the Navigator since they only build them 3 times a year since it is a shared production line with the F-250. That again sounded like BS to me so I started googling around and found this forum and thread. From reading this great post by ice-capades (thanks for the info) It sounds like they are continuing to lie to me. Even after all that they still have not given me a order # or VIN. What do you guys think? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and filing a complaint with Lincoln about the experience with your current dealer. Lincoln won't like hearing about your experience with the customer service requirements they have in place and the last thing they want is to lose a potential customer.

packet Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Thanks ice-capades, I am seriously thinking about walking away like you said. Is it correct that Lincoln is for the most part constantly building Navigators and not “building them 3 times a year” like the local dealer told me? There is another dealer in my state (about 8 hour drive) that has exactly what we are looking for but without the tow package and rear seat entertainment. The tow package was a think for potentially in the future but not sure if we would ever use it. The rear seat entertainment was another nice to have but everything I have read on it sounds like the system is so so at best. My kids both have iPads and I suspect that will be good enough for them. I am going to call the other dealer tomorrow and if we can work a deal out over the phone I’ll fly down next week and drive it home. My only concern is the original dealer I was buying from is still the one nearest my house so I may need to work with them on service issues in the future if I don’t want to drive another 30 minutes to the next closer dealer. Do you think I’ll get any push back from the service department of my local dealer doing warranty work if I need it even if I did not buy the vehicle from them. Thank you again!
