"We want to charge you $200/year for heated seats in your $80k car." This is nickel and diming defined.

The BLIS will also automatically shut off when you connect a wiring harness for towing

I got one for my Escape I ordered, but I had to pay for it and I can't remember but I don't think it's a full size spare.

Exactly my thoughts. I don't think the EV infrastructure, particularly the charging stations are nearly robust enough to go full EV for either of my vehicles yet, but I do have an order in (and waiting for a build date) on an Escape Plug-In Hybrid. If they offered that or even just a straight...

This is what I have one mine. I've had them for almost a year. No issues. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002009A9A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08429DV2X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 They look excellent with the FE...

I reserved mine the day after the launch in July 2020 and took delivery in late December 2020 and I'm headed to Moab this month for the Off-Roadeo. I wouldn't worry about a time limit. Like someone else said, with all the delays COVID caused, they would be real a-holes if they tried to say...

I had mine tinted. Can't remember what level, but it was maybe like $80 just for the moonroof portion. My tint shop had no issue doing the moonroof on the Bronco Sport but they wanted me to sign a waiver if they did it on my Edge ST, which has a panorama roof (I opted not to tint it). Those...

I'm not sure this would be as useful for me. I already have the gator back style splash guards and my Bronco Sport has plenty of dings and scratches from parking lots/garages in Chicago and the limited off roading I've done. I've made my peace with the scrapes / scratches. I don't run mine...

What are those called? Never seen them before. They keep mud/dirt off the car, but do they hold onto it and take forever to clean at a car wash?

Yamima's hitch mounted exo system is available on Amazon. I got one a few months back and really like it for long trips. Not sure it fits your needs though.

I'm in the same boat. I got one a few months back, but the temps have been below freezing most nights. This weekend will be pretty warm though, so I may give it a go then.

Yeah, I get that they're independent from Ford. I think the way you gamed it out is pretty close to what I would would do if the scenario presents itself, but I appreciate you playing out all the steps. I'll check out the link you dropped in the last post too. I don't think the dealership...

Thanks for that info. I know the dealer won't try to charge me over MSRP on this (and I have X-Plan). I wasn't sure about the price jump between order and build/delivery though. Is there any more specific info I should be prepared to give the dealer about this or a dept. at the Ford...

There wasn't any MSRP creep when I got my Bronco Sport, but I did order an Escape PHEV for my wife at the end of March. Is the price they quoted it at when I ordered set in stone or can they hit me with like a 7% MSRP hike when I eventually take delivery?

The only problem with that is getting one in a timely manner. Ford has built roughly twice as many Bronco Sports as they have Rangers so far this year.
