I would buy one. I think there is some confusion in the chat thread thinking it is a shelf and not a spring loaded door like your video shows. Maybe have a display image of the spring door in action, maybe a hand dropping something in it.
All three Ford dealers near me said that Eco's typically all got delivered in under 12 months except for a few exceptions with all the bells and whistles ordered on them. I am just glad I waited for the Tremor package. I have NO illusions that I may be waiting a good while.
I have waited seven years since I had a truck and once I saw the Maverick in 2021 announced I have waited for the right package that I truly wanted before I pulled the trigger on ordering. The Tremor, was just that. I have been patient for seven years for the industry to make a compact truck...
I would agree except, on a farm like me, I need skid plates on some of the trails between fields. Unless the AWD hybrid came in an FX4 or Tremor package it is useless to me. Also, they don't offer any of those packages on any model, that I am aware of with a AWD hybrid variant.
My order was entered and I got confirmation email from Ford. Shows up as "XLT with advanced AWD, Avalanche Grey". My dealer was unable to enter it until 9-19 after 12pm. I originally placed my order with the dealer on the 15th and they stayed on it until it went through for me.
