Wow. The Xlt ER is sold out? Thats actually a bit shocking. They didnt sell nearly enough of them according to their allocation projection. They should have plenty left. The XLT SR being sold out makes perfect sense.
Ford staff: “Do we really want to saddle customers with an overpriced XLT ER?”
Ford VP: “Naw, sell them a Platinum instead.”

The optimist in me says they botched the price point on XLT 312A, they know it and they're going to lower it for MY2023. They closed down the XLT ER to limit the hatemail to just the few people who did choose to order the ER XLT so far, who would undoubtedly scream how they paid so much more for the MY2022 than MY2023

Junior guy in the back of room sheepishly raises his hand: "you know we make more money selling overpriced XLTs than Platinums, right?"
Ford VP: "THIS IS NO PLACE FOR LOGIC AND REASON"

I bet ford will increases pricing across the board for MY2023 instead of decreasing anything

Were you part of Wave 3 or Wave 4? Did you have to extend for a specific trim or just extend it in general?
I was Wave 2. I had to choose my trim choice for the reservation extension.

I checked my ordering options and the XLT is sold out, SR and ER. I've extended my reservation for a 2023 Pro.
I am a little confused by your statement. Were you able to order a Pro for 2023? Or are you just extending your current reservation and hoping to get a Pro? Still have not been invited to the party so I have not seen the "extend my reservation screen"

It appears that very little of the wave reaches inland far enough to get my dealer in Iowa...
I am in Hot Springs, AR. We're a small town in the southwest and today I confirmed that my dealer has 30 reservations. I am 12th in the que and they have had TWO customers convert to orders. (My reservation was confirmed at 9:00 CST on 5/20.)

Hasn't made it to the California coast either, even with a reveal night reservation....
I spoke too soon. Just got the golden ticket and ordered Lariat ER. Didn't look too long at the other options but did see the default XLT was listed as "Extend Reservation" rather than order now.

Wow, what a let down... I actually got the invitation email today and XLT is sold out. @Ford Motor Company continues its streak of disappointing me (I have an unconverted Bronco reservation as well...)

I was very pleasntly suprised to receive my golden ticket email from Ford today. I quickly ordered the platinum trim with only the max recline seats option.

Now the 24+ weeks clock starts ticking...
