MY2023 Aviator Order Timeline Tracking thread

That's not unusual, Ron. BTW, as another member mentioned a low priority number actually means the order has a high priority. Sounds somewhat backwards.

Dumb Question: Where do we find the priority for our orders?

 

[peterk9]

Placed my order on Sept 12th 2022, for Aviator Grand touring it still shows "Order Confirmed". Any magic you guys recommend to have this move forward? My dealer says it takes time(6-8 months) but am noticing here few folks are luck to get it sooner. Is there a followup we can do with production support?

My Car configuration:

​

2023 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring All-Wheel Drive:​

​ 3.0L V6 Grand Touring Twin Turbocharged Hybrid Engine Modular Hybrid Transmission with 10 Speed SelectShift Capability 21" Bright-Machined Aluminum Wheels with Dark Alloy Painted Pockets Flight Blue Metallic Clearcoat Sandstone Premium Leather Seating Surfaces Grand Touring I 301A Lincoln Co-Pilot360™ 1.5 Plus Lincoln Embrace

Same for me, dealer is not providing any useful information.

Its a $80k+ car, such orders should have a better way to know more details about pre orders.

Welcome to the Forum.
The dealer can only provide as much info as they can get. Also, as stated here many times, the production time for the GT takes longer than say the Reserve because of the extra features. Also, the price of the vehicle should have no impact whatsoever on the communications process. If you feel you are not being kept up-to-date, you can always contact the concierge.

It's been a while since I actually ordered a vehicle. The last 3 have all been from the dealer lot. I don't know if the priority is shown on the order but the dealer should know it.

Hi sumant123 and welcome to the Lincoln Forums. Realistically speaking...No, there is nothing that can be done, and no individual or department we can speak to, in order to move our orders forward. Everyone wants their Factory ordered vehicles as soon as possible and is in the same boat, but all we can do is wait.

As Peter mentioned above...If your Dealer is not being overly forthcoming with updates, you can call and speak with the Lincoln Concierge, and they may be able to provide further information. But they can not expedite your order.

Hope you get yours as soon as possible and good luck.

Just ordered a 2023 Silver Radiance Reserve 201A with the Illumination Package even though I still have some months left on my current lease.
Not in a rush and hope it takes a while. Don't have the final price details as the Lease feature on the website (CDN) isn't functional. Will have to wait until it comes in and then check that out. If we can't come to favourable terms, I'm not obliged to take it.
EDIT: BTW, the priority code was on the copy of the order printout that the salesman gave me. Priority Code 10.

Hello,

I am new to the forum, but have been keeping up ever since I ordered my Aviator Reserve with Jet Package (Pristine White/Roast). I figured it would be helpful to see another timeline, so here is mine.

Ordered at dealership (Central Valley CA)- 9/14/22
Confirmation Email- 9/17/22
Scheduled for Production (11/14/22)- 9/29/22
Production Schedule moved up (10/17/22)- 10/4/22
Checked with Dealer the day after the blend date (10/19/22) and he confirmed it was built-10/20/22
Built confirmation email-10/23/22
Checked the tracker and was notified that it was shipped as of this morning- 10/25/22

Hoping that we see it at the dealership within two weeks.

Wow! You are lucky! I ordered a reserve with the jet package (black/black), reserve 201A package, and some other packages.

Ordered on 9/27
Confirmation email 9/28
Scheduled for production week of 12/19 (email received 10/27)

I don’t know what the blend date means.

Posted a second time by mistake and could only edit and not delete the post. Sorry, please disregard this message. My earlier reply to Aviatir23 is valid.

Welcome to the Forum.
"A blend date is the anticipated date for final assembly... or when the vehicle gets "blended" together. It is located on the top of the window sticker, which is generated roughly a week (give or take a few days) before your scheduled build week."

Got an update email... Now my GT won't be produced until January 5th. Wow! Scheduled September and it keeps getting pushed back further and further. January?!?!? I think I will just buy an Explorer and then see if mine ever comes in.

I think 6 months and under is the standard now.

Welp! I guess I’ll be expecting my delay notice soon. Ha!

If I don’t get a change notice from the last week in November, I wonder if it has something to do with me ordering a BL-GT or a Lincoln dealer preference?

But, it’s likely I just haven’t heard yet!

At this rate, it will be 8 months when I take delivery from when I ordered.

I've heard rumors from the dealer that Lincoln is pushing orders back because the costs have gotten out of hand and they don't want to sell at the "ordered" price. They want to increase their price.

I hope not, my order went in Oct 17, 2022 and it was expedited. I'm hoping for 4 months or less. I don't want another lemon as well so I want them to take their time. I just don't want to wait 6-8 months.

 

[MNgirl5689]

I just got a promising email from Lincoln.

Ordered on 9/27
Confirmation email 9/28
Scheduled for production week of 12/19 (email received 10/27)

Email received on November 1st saying my new build week is November 7th!!

Aviator reserve group package 201a, jet package, luxury package, illumination package, tow package

I just emailed my salesperson. He said my BL-GT is still on the schedule for a build late November. Although I haven’t received a window sticker yet—what’s that? 2-3 weeks ahead of time? We are approaching that point soon.

My expedited order went in Oct 17, 2022 for my BL GT. I haven't received my schedule email yet but I know it's still early. I'm hoping to have my vehicle by February at the latest.

Hi ArizJB. Just so you don't get too needlessly discouraged in the near future: Window stickers can be released as little as a few days before production dates.

Hope you get your new Aviator soon and good luck.

I just need it built and on the way by anytime December….and “sign the papers for a 12/31/2022 delivery.”
