Hello!
Months ago I had given my dealership my order, plus a $500 deposit to place the order (which would roll into my down payment). This week I got an email from Ford confirming my 2023 order, but it's an EcoBoost, not a Hybrid.
When I called the dealership to ask them for help, they argued with me and essentially said it's too bad/too late and that they didn't make a mistake (despite documentation proving otherwise). As much as I would prefer the hybrid, maybe the EcoBoost is okay for my life....however I build furniture and have limited knowledge on cars tbh.
My commute to my office is a few minutes each way/7mi round trip, on surface streets going 45mph. I will almost never haul anything, and the heaviest things I'll put in the bed are a sheet or two of plywood or the occasional impulsive furniture purchase. Currently I drive a 99 Ranger, so at this point either engine would be a significant mileage improvement.
Should I keep my order? Should I keep my order just in case, but look around for a Hybrid and ask other nearby dealerships to put me on a wait list?
