Wooo! Looky at that, I got a build date too.
Reserved on 7/25. Order placed on 10/2. Build date is Feb 15.
I've got a Kodiak Brown BB + BB, with optional 18" wheel, tow package, crossbars, CoPilot 360+, rubber floor mats & cargo mat cover. No cargo management system. Original reservation was...
Agreed, that's too many to be just mannequins. Dealers were only allocated 2 Sports, & 1 fullsize each from the last news we saw from Ford. Feels a bit odd to me that a single dealer had that many cancelled orders that were ALL placed early enough to have received build dates already...
Well that’s unfortunate that the production delay for BB + BB or BB +18” wheel option wasn’t communicated by Ford to the buyers/reservation holders. I too have been patiently waiting for my build date to be announced. Seems to me there are a LOT of production part shortages/delays that should...
I just made the color jump! Switching my previously confirmed carbonized gray order to kodiak brown. Something a bit different with a more noticeable flake and from what I’ve seen in photos almost a color shift effect from dark brown metallic to black depending on the light.
Also, when making...
Have we seen any BB trim in Kodiak brown yet? Every photo I’ve found shows an OB with black top... looks great, but I really want to see what it looks like full color outside the B+P.
Where they are shipping to is probably a bigger factor than a lot of us have realized thus far. Weren’t certain dealers with more orders given higher priority? Or is that only for the retail stock after customer orders are complete?
I think Ford is still working to update B&P for the FE and BL trims to be more accurate. They recently fixed the carbonized gray color on the Sport B&P to more accurately reflect actual color. I expect the Cactus Gray will get the same rework soon as well.
Stick with what you've got! If black roof was on option for my trim level, I wouldn't be currently considering going red or blue. Currently I've got solid ebony interior on a Carbon Gray BB.
Actually, if I could get the ebony/active orange seats on BB+BB, I'd gladly steal your seats and black...
Having last minute second thoughts on my ordered color --- currently Carbonized Gray but overnight with soon to be locked in VIN (if it hasn't already - I've not been notified yet so hopefully there is still time) I'm really waffling if I should change to Rapid Red or Alto Blue. I'm definitely...
Good point on EcoMode.
Ha you can try! I’m pretty good at waffling back and forth on my own. Most of my cons (other than MPG) have already been posted elsewhere: seat fabric options, excessive black urethane inside & out, and a few of the options that are tied to higher trims - unfortunately for...
Thanks for the perspective. There’s a few more things on my overall pros/cons list. This just nudged it closer was all. No decisions made yet. Ultimately I’m just keeping in mind the few cons versus upside down equity if I were to trade in 1-2 years when the options I do want are available...
@Granger Ford
Hoping you can help answer, currently waiting on my dealer to call back and let me know if I’m able to cancel an order... if and when I decide to place a new reservation and order, pending on the various changes and confirmations we all seem to be waiting on, do you know if there...
Coming from my current 26/36/29... (and I often average low 40s on long trips where I can just set the cruise and go), this hurts. Might be a deal breaker for me depending on if my dealership has penalties for cancelled order. We shall see. I’m not opposed to waiting a year for a potential...
I was staring at these images yesterday as well and thought I came to the same conclusion. Not much of a flare. Easy decision to leave off. Glad someone else agrees.
Just spotted this! If you search dealer inventory on the newly updated B&P, the vehicle summary shows MPG estimates. Looks like 1.5L is 25/28. Haven’t done a search for 2.0 yet
