I received a reschedule email last night as well. From March 28th to now March 14th. Original scheduled date was Feb 28th so at least we're headed back in the right direction.
@fordvideoguy Has this type of situation happened at your dealership? What happens if a vehicle is badly damaged and "irreparable" by the dealership? Does it really get returned?
I'd wager there's some issue with the hybrids. Super sus to see hybrid build dates pushed back an entire month and now deliveries also being pushed back. Hopefully @fordvideoguy has some insight in his live stream tonight.
It's the additional DIOs (Dealer installed options)... Looking at Reddit, seems like there were a good chunk of Hybrid Lariat Lux that got pushed back a WHOLE month and it looked like they all had DIOs; floor mats, covers, etc.. I also have a Hybrid Lariat Lux confirmed 7/28 and scheduled for...
Ford doesn't prefer that, dealerships do. I don't think Ford makes extra money when dealerships sell a vehicle higher. Hence why it's called ADM (additional dealer markup).
Not sure if you live in a place where you pay sales tax on new car minus trade in like Texas. So just make sure you are getting enough when you sell to make up for the sales tax you'd otherwise save with trade in.

OP, you should add the approximate times emails start showing up. Maybe I'm the only one, but I always have to search for the last one to see if someone's asked and answered.
So I was kind of leaning towards gloss. Get some gloss black rims and paint the side mirror caps gloss black as well. And replace Ford emblem with their smoke chrome/black one.
I plan to black out my Lariat grill bar as well. Seems easy enough to do with some sand paper and a rattle can for less than like $40. Or Plastidip so that it's reversible. Real question is, matte or gloss? :)
