MY2023 Aviator Order Timeline Tracking thread

[loyalcubsfan]

So my blend date was 7/25, it's been in production ever since with no updates. The other day I noticed on the tracking site it said "get to know your vehicle", checked the Lincoln way app and it let me activate my vehicle. Hit activate on Wednesday and got a notification today it's live in my account and I can track it and control all the features of it, watched them drive it around the shipping yard on the map . Guess that means I'll be getting it soon....hopefully!

Suggest anyone who wants to track it try my trick using the Lincoln way app, you may get lucky and have a porter tap "activate" on the screen like I got and be able to track your car in real time lol.

That is great!! Tried with mine and no such luck. Hopefully they stick to the new shipping window and mine is delivered this week.

Welcome to the Forum.
Did you and/or the dealer at least get the VOC (Vehicle Order Confirmation) and DORA (Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement)? Keep in mind production only started on June 27th.

After reading through this thread U contacted Lincoln Concierge. Very Helpful!!!! They could see my order and will be sending me weekly text updates on order build progress.

Even those on trains end up on a truck.

Wondering what link that could be. Can you share it with us??

Sorry, I am dense - “porter tap “activate” don’t understand what you mean, can you clarify? Thanks

In order to activate the Lincoln way app, someone has to press "confirm" on the infotainment system in the car. If no one presses "confirm", your app won't sync to the vehicle. Since the vehicle is still at the factory in their possession, there's obviously no way for me to press it. The employees who move the vehicles around at Ford facilities are usually called porters. They're the ones that move vehicles to different holding lots, load them on transports, etc. So when I requested to activate the Lincoln way app on my phone, it prompted a confirmation message to appear inside the vehicle, and a porter working at the assembly plant moving my (soon to be) vehicle around must have hit the accept button on the infotainment screen allowing my phone to connect to the car. Had the porter ignored the message or hit reject, then I wouldn't have been able to connect to it.

Oh, awesome, thanks for the clear description. Wonder if this is a service only offered to Cubs fans

Well seeing as they're built on the far southeast side of the city, I'm assuming if they knew I was a cubs fan they'd definitely not do it

Anyone in South East US been given an allocation? We ordered our 2023 back March on the first day, and have yet to receive any thing other than the order confirmation. Our dealership claims that they cannot get any update out of the factory and that it looks like the South East is being frozen out from allocations. The order has been prioritized by the concierge (approx 3 months ago), but still nothing...

Order is a 2023 Grand Touring w/ Luxury Package and Dynamic Handling.

Truth! . We were leaving Comiskey a couple weeks ago and I kept trying to talk the husband into “going to pick up my new car.” He wasn’t going for it.

Fastest one I've seen! Do you have a special plan or just lucky? Congrats!

It is a A Plan purchase, but I don’t think that has anything to do with it. But I don’t know. My salesperson said it was just luck. Lol

Sorry I am waiting for an aviator

Yeah....Aviator for me too. Had a Truck build last year though...

My apologies for the confusion. I am awaiting an Aviator also. Around my parts, we sometimes refer to SUV's as trucks also .
