for the folks that got in early, HOORAY! now that 'market' realities have revealed themselves Ford is adjusting pricing and procurement priorities to better align with the best balance of what people actually order/ordered in the real world vs what they(Ford) thought they would sell and what...
i got the exact same email confirmation. i dont mean to sound too snarky but couldnt someone in this vast Corporate Enterprise have objected to using a photo of a now discontinued color no longer available to notify customers of their new truck order? i bleed Ford blue, i admit it freely. but...
my confirmation email was light on details also. all it confirmed was that Ford had accepted my order as placed by my dealer today and that it would be scheduled and that i could expect further update from them within the next 45 days.
my build:
'24 Hybrid Lariat
Atlas Blue(i wanted Alto blue...
the GREAT general mngr (Dean) Auto Nation Westlake Ohio got my order in while on the phone with me around 7pm local time today. evidently the build site went live with no real problems. however the portal for actual orders to be submitted had some glitches(again?) i would of loved to have been...
y'all may be right, hard to tell at this point if this will be like the cancelled decision on dropping AM radios. every once in a while 'we the people' can win. not often enough, but often enough to keep trying my friends!!
100% agree, i personally view the keypad as a competitive advantage for Ford and thats not the kind of thing smart companies just throw away... there are almost certainly many different, maybe better ways to save $5.00 per car or truck. identifying them is one of the few legitimate reasons the...
i have no idea of the OP's age but people of my generation and others(69yrs young here) believe in a very early(perhaps even premature to some) 1st oil change. i know that 'modern' engines & synthetic oils may mitigate the contamination and oil/additive degradation but i'm still a big fanboi for...
it may be slightly off topic but still keypad related . my daughter has a 2011 Escape that the dealer wants over $150 to recover and or reprogram the keypad. i seem to remember that it was always written somewhere on the vehicles. under the hood, inside the door panel but somewhere. can the...
couldnt agree more, my 2014 escape that i traded in was equipped with the "hidden" securi code pad and it was a far sleeker look. however that stuff adds up and if your goal is a low as possible price point compromises must be made. but i still contend that if your customers are willing to pay...
if i had to guess it has more to do with the ALL OF THE ABOVE approach to increasing Mav production going forward. if i(Ford) offer this option than i need to punch the requisite hole(s) in the DR side door on some door panels but not others., and order different wireing harnesses with the...
to my mind tire rotation is somewhat analogous to changing your oil at least once a yr irregardless of how few miles a yr you may drive. oil will break down over time eventually. after enough time (5+ yrs or more) the different compounds in your tires will naturally begin to degrade and even...
Jim you and GPSman consistently deliver the goods. a lot of the folks on this site never cease to amaze me. the knowledge and wisdom i glean from this site is a "Maverick Master Class'" that i hope Ford corporate and Dealers are aware of and pay attention to. it would surely be to their benefit...
