Interested in rolling the dice on this myself with SIBL a constraint I also chose to go without for 2023 order. It looks more glossy than the factory liner. Does that fade out?
Own none. Driven several at work. The MPGs in the fusion hybrid amazed me the first time I drove it, because I had an EB fusion at the time and drove them the same. 45MPG vs 25 MPG. We now have a new Escape Hybrid, which is much nicer than our first gen 2005 which was terrible in general and on...
You can add it. Show them the PDF guides shared last week which detail the changes in option packages for 2023. Remote start keyfob is not included in any package for 2023.
Turns out my dealer typed my email address in wrong - bugged them this morning about not getting the email, they corrected it, and got an email 15 minutes later. Woohoo!
Kids were trying to convince me to go with Cyber Orange because it was fun. I was on the fence but ended up thinking it too close to school bus / taxi yellow. Classy Cactus Gray for me!
This is getting interesting. Looks like Ford could be pretty close with their expected distributions on the Trim levels after all. Ford's earlier "Key Commodities" list has XL @ 15%, XLT @59%, Lariat @26%. We are within ~11% of all of those numbers.
Not going to be as quick as some others to shoot this down. It could be reasonable for a target or average goal. Important point to remember here is that Ford has introduced an incredible amount of control of their order numbers and distribution by imploring a few tactics:

I sure did. Haven't even sat in one. Closest I have been able to get is a walk-around at a dealer on a "used" XLT EB which was marked up so much I wasn't even willing to give them the pleasure of catching me check it out. It confirmed that I liked it much better in person, and I've been excited...
My '23 order will be going in without liner as well. For the $495 charge, it's not worth the risk of a potentially constraining item vs. the slight increase to have a third-party install a liner(Line-X etc).
