Finally took the plunge tonight, just under the wire, after being in the fence for three months. Test drove the manakin last weekend and both wife and I liked it. Really wanted a hybrid but might wind up waiting until sometime in 2023 before being able to get one so I figured I better order an EcoBoost and decide later on whether to keep it or trade it for the hybrid.

Dealer accepted X-Plan. The bad news is that he was told today that he only has allocation for 15 units to be built for February and 125 orders (about 75 Hybrid & 50 EcoBoost) in the pipeline. I really wonder if this vehicle will be built or be moved to model year 2023. If the latter happens, I will probably switch over to the Hybrid and save a few bucks.

Plan on selling them my Ranger that is leased in about a month so I will likely be sharing a car with the misses until It arrives unless I find a beater car in the meantime. Thanks for all of the info and help over the past couple of months. There was some interesting reading for sure.

Congrats, make sure your order is confirmed by Ford
I received an email from Ford about 45 minutes after placing the order. I just hope the Sales Manager put the order into ROVP. He did take my license.
