So what are the chances my 2 door Badlands in Shadow black actually gets built and not cancelled? Got VIN and had production weeks starting 8/28 and several others back and forth, currently at 12/11?

Well do you currently show as "in production"? I think that's the most ctitical thing. The consensus here is this means Ford has all of the parts either in stock, identified or in bound for your build. It wouldn't make sense to cancel it now. Some have already had their orders cancelled, but I think most of those were only scheduled, not in production.

Also, do you have a window sticker, what is your blend date from the WS?

Do you have any modules reporting?

I don't think the last two are critical to get built before '23 production stops but they give hints at where yours is in the process.

Not in production and no window sticker

Unfortunately. I’ve own a limited production vehicle before. Wait 20 years and try and get parts. I knew the “Limited’s” would be limited, but not the standard 2 door HE.

But you know that other than the cosmetic (seats, IP surround, wheels, fenders/flares, mod. HT, and graphics), it still retains all the mechanical parts as other trims. So sourcing parts to keep them running won't be a limiting factor.

Of course, even finding OEM wheels in 20 years can be pricey. I had a hard time tracking down OEM wheels for a 20 year old vehicle that had a unique dimple on the spoke that set it apart from other trims. Had to find spare tires from salvage yards around the country. Paid way more than just going with new aftermarket wheels.

Congrats to all who were able to get a 2-dr Standard Heritage. Those that were able to get a 2-dr Limited Heritage found a true rarity - 🦄.

Yep I thought the standard heritage would be a big seller due to its price point. Hell I almost ordered one to replace my wildtrak but thought better of it.

I ordered 24' on 8/18 and have heard NOTHING since! :(
Probably because they're not scheduling '24's yet ... this information is still for the remaining '23s.

Wow all the 2Dr Heritage and HLE cancelled . . . :oops: :oops: :oops:

And remember this extremely lucky youngster who was just driving by to pickup Italian takeout and she sees an abandoned special order Robin Egg Blue HLE 2Dr on the local dealer lot. So she whips the steering - turns in with her Jeep Willys and says "Let's trade"

What a lark !!!

thanks. makes sense. I just want the VIN email LOL
Production isn’t starting until January, and that’s obviously subject to change depending on how 2023 production goes. Everything is still ramping back up after the UAW strike so there are a lot of unknowns to be figured out.

If the schedule holds they should start scheduling 2024 mid-December. I personally wouldn’t expect to hear anything until Q1 or early Q2 2024.

Yes, my Lightning did have a few more custom parts that weren’t just cosmetic so you have a valid point there. But at the end, getting wheels, center caps, and decals became a hunt for NOS or LMR for reproductions as well as the “real” parts.
