$12000 gonna buy you a lot of gas!

Just sat with elderly Aunt Judy through the test drive and buying process of a new Nissan Rogue. Here in Texas if there is transit or lot damage, an acknowledgement form must be signed. In her case, the rear bumper was slightly damaged on the ride over from Japan. Their body shop repaired it...

It appears my production constraints are shrinking, which is good. Except the hybrid part, which is whole reason I'm getting the truck. Fingers still crossed....

Understood. So why accept orders you know you can’t fill? Why offer a lower end entry level vehicle if you’re not interested in building it? The malfeasance is on Ford. The domestics vacated the cheap car and family sedan realms (either through desire for greater profitability or sheer inferior...

There’s a lot to unpack in your narrative. Quite the road warrior you are!

Looks like a phone company truck. And I say that with fondness- my first car was a ‘66 Belvedere I phone company strippo in white. I paid $15 whole dollars and definitely got my money’s worth as it got me through senior HS summer. Only option was a heater. I’ve always loved base...

Or, better yet, Ford shouldn’t have accepted orders beyond capacity. That’s what irritates me.

My order is a fully loaded Lariat hybrid. Ford ain’t dancing with me either.

Dear Ford - Many thanks for yet another update. And why did you way over-commit on the hybrid? Much love, your continually spurned lover Dave PS: In July…. “Thank you sir, may I have another?”

Just got an email from Ford explaining the ongoing hinderances in meeting all orders. They said all ordered EBs should built, but us hybrid folks will hear further details in July.

Congrats. Hopefully some of that *luck* rolls down here to Houston.

same that happened to me - kind of goofy/slimey for Ford to accept ‘23 orders before the ‘23 packages were known. Thanks to this forum I did go back to the dealership in January to have it added, but I forgot about the SIBL (that was included in ‘22 Lux package but not ‘23). At this point I’m...

That looks pretty sharp!

In my opinion, Subaru is way behind the curve on a small AWD ‘truck’ and hybrids. With their close hookup with Toyota, there’s no reason Subaru couldn’t be hybridized across the board. I know they tried small truck with the Baja, but that was a weak, peculiarly styled effort. I love my 10 year...

Baja?

Congrats! Great to hear of a solid dealership experience. Great looking truck!

Santa Cruzes are starting to stack up in these parts; I’m starting to see some discounting. Funny about the “keeping eyes on road” thing… my Outback was at the dealer getting a several day repair so they gave me a brand new Ascent for a loaner; a could of times it admonished me to keep my eyes...

I buy cars every 10-11 years. Decided I wanted a hybrid, and the Ford system was a proven one. Always wanted a blue Lariat (haha). This will be my first domestic nameplate. Otherwise I’m itching for a CRV, Sportage or Niro. All hybrids.

Hint: If you open the hood and there's fresh oil sprayed on the bottom of the hood, park immediately and call a tow truck. Just sayin'.

Same. If I don't get a happy email by August 1st, it's time to move on. Ford can't seem to get their shit together. Disappointed to say the least.
