I've had a 3/1 build date for my BL + BL, tow, 360+, cargo org since November for my 7/31 order. Just was notified they pushed it back to 3/8. Starting to get the 7 year itch. Looking around:headbang:
I have not seen pictures of one yet. I ordered mine with the black roof as the simulator on ford.com made it look like the roof and body were a shade off. I thought that might look bad so I ordered the black roof.
I'm not sure why they didn't put the side panels with the rails in all of the models. They would sell a lot of aftermarket dividers if they had plus they wouldn't have to have 2 different panels.
Ra - from mythology the creator of months, seasons, plants and animals. Sometimes depicted as a humanoid with the head of a blue eagle, a crown of a solar disc, body wrapped with a serpant.
I've seen Waldoch conversion vans and large SUV's around for many years. Wish I had seen this yesterday. Was just in MSP this morning dropping my wife off at the airport. Going to have to see if they would do custom mods. My Badlands already has many of the interior mods.
I'm sure the dynamic weight on the roof has to do with crash testing also. A crash would put the most stress on the roof system. Solution is simple, never get in a crash when you have the rails overloaded.
You don't need to put it in sport mode. I just start the engine, hit the cancel button, put it in drive every time. It will be off until you start it the next time. If you just like driving in sport all the time, well I can see that would be fun.
It may fit on the platform but the Badlands power train is much different. It is possible the 2.3 EB may be to much power for the power train to handle. I don't know that as fact but I know that the 2.0 can already overheat the power train.
Depends on what you are ordering. If you are ordering a BS with out the associative package BB<OB<BL, or maybe even 360+ you might be able to get one pretty quickly.
