Any new colors? xD

The dealer already knows I won’t be taking it.

You could try finding and messaging Ford’s head of product on LinkedIn: Hau Thai-Tang. ;)

I received a build date for my order (June 28) but since I’ve already purchased a different car that I’m happy with it should be available for somebody to scoop up. Badlands + Badlands package Area 51 Tow package Cargo management Copilot 360+ steel style wheels Rubber floor mats Phil Long...

Whatever that other bundle of wires/connector set is it is giving me a lot of anxiety. Messy.

Bummer! I’ve done similar in my Escape and my friend did that in his Outback, much slower than that wild Sprinter of course. No issues. Sorry this has turned into a hassle.

I was an engineer for Ford. Uhh no comment. ;)

I have chosen to hike up roads to trailheads for this reason. And if I’m tired on the way back I just try to hitch a ride back to my car, which I suspect is easier when there isn’t a pandemic... Pro-tip: I have learned that many Texans like to show off the capability of their vehicles so you’ll...

Hmmm. Hard to say about off road capability but the newer Subarus do seem well put together without the typical Ford squeaks and rattles. Somewhat strange throttle response sometimes though — perhaps CVT related? If your friend is trying to make you feel worse about your decision perhaps you...

I’m out — the waiting game for production scheduling coupled with how my Escape hasn’t held up as well as my Accord allowed me the chance to reconsider. I bought a RAV4 Hybrid in blue flame (46 mpg coming home woohoo). Since I backpack a lot out here in Colorado the extra off road capability of...

haha as an engineer formerly of two automotive OEMs which shall go unnamed I am not surprised by their response, though I am surprised their testing didn’t reveal this seemingly widespread problem during development.

Do you know if Toyota ever fixed the fuel filler issues on later models? I haven’t had too many issues with my 2017 Escape. It has a lot of interior rattles and one of the front speakers was replaced under warranty — now the other seems fuzzy and needs replacing. One of the front struts needed...

Hmmm this slow process and some of the issues reported elsewhere on this forum are making me reconsider my decision. Perhaps a RAV4 hybrid is in my future (the Escape hybrid is :/).

Well sugar. I’m going to change my order back! Just kidding! I should have stuck with Area 51 after chasing a test vehicle down in Georgetown, CO last summer. I am going for fun and flirty!

This is good news and similar to my 2017 Escape 2.0 awd. ?

I was able to change the color. Woohoo!

Does anyone have experience changing their order once it has been submitted? I don’t like Cactus Gray as much now that I saw it in person on a BS and want to change to Area 51.

I ordered a BL+BL package on 2/23 and haven’t heard anything beyond the confirmation email. Oh well!
