We have a few XLS at some local dealers but no Lariats yet so mine might be the first in the area. I'm counting down the days. My ETA updated again and now says last week of January so its getting close!
I would suggest replacing the mirror with a dash cam one. They show the rear camera instead of the mirror and it will give you much better view plus a dash cam.
I'm curious is the Hybrid AWD performs the same or is slightly different. The slip test video they did made it not look great but your real life test is more accurate anyway.
The azure gray is interesting it changes from shades of blue to grey depending on light. I think thats in part due to the multi coat. My original order had it but then I switched back to grey to save a little since i forked over a bunch for the BAP.
It bugged me at first that they no longer included engine covers but the more I think about it, nobody ever looks at the engine anyway. Its not like we are showing off our twin turbo v8 or anything lol.
I have all Fords but I don't go around telling everyone they are the best lol. People should choose vehicles based on their needs, what they enjoy, and can afford. If you buy a vehicle just because of the brand I feel like you will be disappointed. They are all very similar anymore I feel like...
I'm planning to order the Ford Advantage Hard trifold with the 20% off coupon and points I earn by buying the truck which is just a bakflip mx4 rebranded. I was considering the rough country one until I found out it messes with the sliding rails on lariat.
It only works with Ford compatible apps and there are not many. They had same question here: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/display-mirroring-or-casting-on-sync-4-mach-e.3449/
If the schedule stays the same I bet it will change to built this week. One thing thing to keep in mind is the built status only shows on timeline it will still say in production on main account page.
Lol I was always told they were the most reliable but they started throwing new transmissions and turbos in that have had a few problems on there recent models.
I do wonder if the order volume is greater than they expected because 1 month to build is still abnormally slow. I considered just waiting for one on the lot but then you have to deal with dealer add-ons.
