Do you have any update? I think I speak for most of us when I say that we are all anxiously awaiting your upcoming arrival.

Jealous…I got an email last week just generally saying mine has been delayed (never had a build date). Pretty sure I’m going to end up with a 2024 at this rate. Wife is getting annoyed told me to go buy an Escalade. Ha

Been there done that. Escalades have a 4-5 month wait too
Hi bigzaj. Factory paint on new vehicles is already cured by the time it leaves the factory.
We only need to wait for the paint to cure before waxing/detailing etc. when we have had body and/or paint work performed on a vehicle.
If after-the-factory paint is what you are wondering about (I'm not sure what "Special Edition paint job" you are referring to), then wait times can vary according to who is performing the work. However, a minimum of 30 days is always recommended. And some body shops will say 60 days or more.
But new vehicle, factory paint is already cured before we ever get the vehicle in our hot little hands.
Good luck.
When did you order? I ordered 10/23.
Wonder what they are holding yours up for. Last I know of is mine arrived at a rail yard in the Chicago area last week.I’m not @Black Label obviously but ours were built within days of one another. Mine has yet to leave the plant. It shows awaiting shipment, convoy delay
12/30 so I likely have a wait a head of me. I assume the delay is interior color related based on what people are saying. No idea though.
Lord only knows bc my dealer got on this week that was ordered and built after mine
. As annoyed as I am, I think I would be more annoyed in your situation. Sooooo close but yet so far away haha. Keep us posted. We are all dying for someone to finally get one. I’m also looking forward to your thoughts on the new one vs your current one.Here is my order update (Canada) :
Placed Order on Feb 10th.
Priority Code Assigned: 11
Vin Assigned: Feb 24th
Status: In Production - Sent to Plant | Status Date April 11
Previously it was scheduled for next week, Week of April 18th however i see it is already in production as of today.
Window Sticker also popped up

Just got an email with Build Week of a June 6th.
Interestingly enough I was told on blueovalforum that they would not build retail cars until they were able to
build navigators error free for 5 days straight. Allegedly that just happened which is why they are now building ordered cars. All I can say is YIKES and you should consider an extended warranty if it took them 3 months to build a flawless car.

Hi slingha. You misunderstood what "akirby" on BOF was stating, and came up with a 1+1=5 result.
"akirby" was merely explaining what the "OKTB" (Okay To Build) rule is at the beginning of a new model year production run. He was not stating that only Dealer orders were still being built, or that error free builds were still not happening at this point or sooner, or that Retail orders are not being built yet. In fact, Retail customer orders have already been delivered to customers, for vehicles less affected by pandemic induced parts shortages.
Bottom line is that Retail orders of 2022 Navigators been being produced for some time now. However there are many holds and short term assembly line shutdowns due to parts and commodity shortages. In addition, many "finished" vehicles are sitting in lots waiting for computer ships or other shortage parts, before they can be shipped out to Dealers for the ordering customers.
And Lincoln/Ford are not prioritizing Dealer stock orders ahead of Customer/Retail orders. Pandemic induced shortages have production in a mess for all automakers, not only Lincoln/Ford. So if a buyer can not wait until things settle down to order/buy a new vehicle, these problems are going to be frustrating but unavoidable.
Good luck.
