XL. They found they had another set of Lux or Lariat bits'n'pieces, so the XL got put back in the box to await the next go-round. Likely. That, or someone clicked on your order instead of the one directly above/below, and sent you the updated status mistakenly... You will never know.... tom

Were all scheduled today AWD? I did not see one FWD in the bunch. tom

I would remove the Ford cover, and get one from a local supplier. If you do a little investigation, you may find what you want is available readily from the supplier who makes them for the factory, but it will likely be sans Ford emblem, and sell for less. tom

I was under the impression Ford was building in its own battery plant. Perhaps it was the complete assembly, ready for installation that was under FoMoCo control.

Matso, unless you want to wait in vain, move on now. The hybrid will not be produced with a 4k tow package. If you take a look at the available product specification and order guide, it is not there as an option. My take is that it was an oversight from the origin of the documents, and was...

Isn't some new thing they are rolling out... Well, yes, it is, on both fronts: production and order processing. When in the last 100+ years(Ford Motor Company, 1903) did you correspond with an auto manufacturer about orderin a vehicle built to your specifications? When did you last even...

Most planetary gearsets work by holding one of the triad stationary. The novel thing here is converting the planetary into a differential, where the triad can have all three pieces in motion and still deliver power. If I have the process and transfer correctly understood, a differential from a...

Ya can't fit the clubs into the back seat, on the floor? OR, are you in fear that someone will see that glam bag and want it more than you do? Some golfers use only a couple clubs. Caddying 5X years ago for duffers that drove to either side of the fairway, carrying double, with huge leather...

ANY color you like, as long as it is black. Henry tried to design his carburetor so that it could be assembled with one bolt. One. He got the 'T' down to a science, lowered the price almost annually, but when the market moved, changed, he had a heck of a time translating the success of the...

My impression is the 'reservations' and essentially the 'early order' were being used by Ford to guesstimate the 'take rate' on the available option packages and stand-alone options. Once they had a bit of a suggestion(i.e. hybrid double the expected) the information was likely used to change...

Priority 2 means ... it is selected for production scheduling, or at least on the threshold of the door to the scheduling room. I would not do a thing to my order in your case as even with some 0%, you seem to have gotten the 'missing bits' already assigned. Or very close.

If you are 'locke in' and your priority code has changed(likely 02), then your build, again likely, has been selected. Don't muddy the waters right now would be my suggestion. tom

Anyone notice that the Bronco Sport was 'balanced out'... I think that means they are done with the model year, and that would leave the capacity available for other models, such as the Maverick. Will someone with more knowledge of the process please correct me if I missed the boat here. tom

When I switched delivery dealership, I asked about anything causing delay. Steve @chapman told me that spray in bedliners may affect build schedule. May. Have not decided if it is worth it to change, and do a local bed spray. Wifey sez not in any rush, so just let it simmer as it will...

What is interesting is the listed price along with the comment 'below average' figure. An XL for $23,695 listed as $6,562 below average... so anXL should retail for $30,257... I think these are vehicles ordered for stock, and marketed with a healthy ADM/markup. But what do I know?

One thing to add... FoMoCo has become their own motor supplier with the Maverick version. It is using 'flat wire' for the windings in the rotor. They may be having trouble getting good rotors. The square wires allow the copper to snug up to the other coppers allowing more conductor per unit...

I think you will find it difficult as the dealer is the entity that is buying from Ford, and in turn selling to you, retail. They are the initial purchaser, for resale. You signed an agreement to buy at a given price, with some outs built in, and an agreement as to what happens should either...

I always took Consumer Reports ratings with a grain(?) of salt. It seemed to me their sample size was too small for a statistical analysis to have any sort of probitive value. They may hint, but the results seem to contradict too often. Where brother/sister vehicles have the same drivetrain...

{in Vermont voice} a-yup. Had I known of their flexibility in accepting CD, would have gone there first. Just got shot down by multiple dealers and gave up. GApeach found the MoG fleet manager, Alex, and I latched onto that. I know me. I cannot wrangle a deal better than this. My...

I am checking with Steve / Tom and plan to talk to Val on Monday AM. In July finding a dealer to do a CD was 'different'. The one right down the road a few miles said that they will not do them at all. FWIW they should figure out they're not going to get a sale with their attitude about ADM...
