does this new Dec. 8 OKTB date mean that factory production/build/ship dates can be released before the OKTB date ? Or that all dates of production will come after the OKTB Dec 8 date? ?
Sure Ford did a good amount of consumer focus group on both models (2.5 and 2.0) way early on. Even if they researched a much smaller buyer interest in a hybrid, they would still want a smaller pool of buyers to take delivery ASAP since 95% are at MSRP or higher.
All this info and charts are above my pay grade to understand, but the hybrid engine is so close to the Ford Escape and Bronco Sport engines it boggles my mind that Ford and the EPA aren’t on the same page with an efficient EPA approval.
Lea, you won’t have any sliding/slipping with the fwd hybrid….if you do these …..mount 4 new snow tires (I prefer Scandinavian brands such as Vredestein or Gislaved Frost or Nordfrost models). You’re right AWD is really only good at starting the inertia of moving car forward at a dead stop...
Extra credit bed measurement question…..anyone know the diagonal bed measurement ? (Front left bed corner to right rear tailgate down corner).. Hoping I might squeeze my Suzuki vstrom front wheel into bed corner with rear wheel still sitting on the edge of the tailgate.
