I really don't want to change wheels but have a sneaking suspicion that I won't be able to live with the looks of the Lariat wheels. Good chance I'll be looking to swap out for some XLT or FX4 take offs.

That's kinda what I was wondering. If they're saying they'll be getting a Mav before pre-orders, I think that was expected and understood. We've been expecting ones to creep out before too long for showroom floor browsing and test driving. Now, if they're saying their "allotment of immediately...

Definitely a great idea for many that are on the fence. If I was hard pressed to buy a vehicle soon, I would've done that so I could be prepared. As it is? Even with a similar powertrain, nothing will be exactly like test driving the actual vehicle. If I don't like it, I'm more than happy to...

Love hearing this news but I'll reserve a chunk of my excitement until I find out how easy this is to replace.

I was tempted too but after running the numbers, it didn't make any sense for me. The best deal I've seen is 4% off invoice and no deposit. That would have saved me $1,036.13 compared to X-Plan. But to get that $1,036.13? I'd have to: Definitely deal with the hassle of private sale on my...

No real concerns but I know there's a definite chance that once I get to test drive one, I'll pass. I've never driven a hybrid and have no clue whether the driving experience will be what I'm looking for.

Yep, per the Dealer ESourcebook, the interior has a particulate air filter. I have no clue on the ventilation though.

I ordered from Tony K and team at Sanderson Ford. X plan pricing, no dealer adds and no deposit.

I've never used adaptive CC but the lane keeping in my 2017 Escape is decent and not at all intrusive, as I also imagined. If anything, I would hope that it's gotten a bit better over the last couple years.

I must be missing something here, I thought the Lariat and XLT both came standard with the Securicode keypad? If so, this shouldn't be a problem unless functionality has been reduced the last few years. My last two Escapes have had push button start, proximity/magic keys and a keypad. If I use a...

I've never had a truck before but I do have a gym in my garage that uses stall mats for flooring and LOVE them. And at $45-$50? So cheap to try, I'll def give one whirl for a bed mat.

Unless the goal is saving every penny possible (which is totally valid), I still think the easiest path, which is similar to the one I took, is: 1. $35 Mustang Club membership so that you can get X Plan pricing. 2. Email every Ford dealership within reasonable distance and ask them if they'll do...

I'm lucky, in that CarMax's offer my Escape has only dropped a couple hundred in the last couple weeks. Of course, that doesn't matter because my only other vehicle is a Vette and NO WAY I'm gonna try using that for Costco runs the next several months. I've come to peace with the fact that I'll...

Derp, thanks for the assist. I've only been interested in FWD/Hybrid and keep forgetting about the extra options the Ecoboost opens up.

??? Are my eyes deceiving me or are those XLT wheels on the Lariat? Those don't look like the black Lariat rims to me at all.

I've already weighed in with other annoyances but as time as gone on, I gotta add "how much uglier the Lariat wheel options look compared to the XLT wheels".

Thanks for the heads up, I'm in the a similar boat. I only have one order in but never got any confirmation from Ford. Ford DID send the confirmation email out to my dealer though, as he forwarded it on to me. I'd REALLY like to confirm that my email is in the system though, so I can kinda...

Same here, First Edition package was one of the things that kept pushing me towards Area 51 but I held my ground with CG.

Good points here. Of course, by the time the VAST majority of us are ABLE to buy one of these, there WILL be a full press release, professional reviews and etc. To get my reservation in, it took a total of 1 email, 3 texts and about 2 hours. I won't part with a penny of my money until I've...
