As a now retired firefighter, every vehicle I've had since 1992 has been red: '92 Isuzu Rodeo, 2001 Sport Trac, '06 Chrysler Pacifica (that car was mistake), '11 Escape XLT, '18 Escape Titanium. So NO, iy must be Rapid Red...
Ask the dealer to check. Their source is updated more frequently than the emails to the public site. When my build date got pushed back a week after the Texas cold snap/ no Texas natural gas exports, he knew before a got an email..
Dealer ordered 1/28/21, was scheduled for week of 4/12, dealer called and gave me my VIN on 2/16/21. Ford sent me an email on 2/18/21 saying production pushed back to 4/19/21. It's a OB, with the OB package, tow package, yeah all the things that can cause delays...
That's for any trim. It's a step back for me too, after having an Escape Titanium. I did find a local car stereo shop that can put a home link universal garage door opener in my BS, so I won't have to go back to 2 different openers .
Definitely order now. I ordered almost 3 weeks ago and was given a build week of April 12. With the chip shortage and other logistics issues, I'll be surprised if happens then. Shipping can take weeks, depending on frogs falling from the sky, or whatever weird things happen in these times...
