My daughter has been the sole driver (temporarily) and has been getting back and forth from work without incident in the horrible far west Chicago 'burb weather we've been having as an "inexperienced in this type of driving" driver says that I have NO complaints.
Right now, my daughter has been the sole driver of our BL and enjoys it. We upgraded from a '14 Forester (2.0), a great vehicle that she prefered, but the BS is so much better! It should be great for learners (like my son, who hasn't driven it yet - prefers my wife's Accord). The F-150 would...
I question these "Transit Date"s. Mine, if I remember correctly, was "1" after it was built. It took more than 1 day to ship and my dealer to receive from the Mexico facility. I think (I may be incorrect) that the "Transit Date" may mean the number of days (minimum?) before the vehicle will...
Strangely, I had the cargo system, but no moonroof or BL package. I received mine before the dealer had its mannequin!
Dealer allotment could be a factor, along with parts shortages. I really have no answer to why people who ordered before or around my order date (end of September) still...
Ordered mine the very end of September. Arrived at central Iowa dealer 12.30. They did not even have their demo model yet!
Mid-Atlantic and New England orders seemed slow, too. Logistics and weather?
I really do not believe 3 months from order to build is abnormal. It took 3 months from order to delivery for mine. My F-150 that is awaiting shipment is also 3 month order—to-delivery, and that is a Kansas build with only one shift working right now.
We had 7"+ out here in the far west 'burbs and my (inexperienced in the snow) daughter did fine driving the BL to work without even using slippery mode. The original tires do have good traction! I truly believe it is a MUCH better vehicle (price and quality) than anything Subaru offers right...
What I understand (from Granger Ford) is that if your Dealer doesn't use this reservation system, then "Contact Dealer" will only show, not/never any progress. Granger Ford does not pay to use this system, or something to that effect.
This address for progress...
Thanks. I don’t go into Chi-town (no Blackhawks live this year, sadly). Gerald is pretty close to me (2 even closer). They were good at their Subaru dealership, even though we pulled out a deal with the 1st year Ascent (too long to build).
Just looking for a good place locally to do...
