  1. Thank you. I can see my order there. A Canadian advantage with an American company. It looks like the power retracting mirrors were deleted. I really wanted those. We'll just have to wait and see.

  2. Just got the email, as our Sales Manager is back at work today. Scheduled for week of March 6th. Escape PHEV ordered a couple days after the order bank opened.

  3. I don’t know what you know so I can not confirm or deny that statement. This will be a big year for Ford Motor future from Farley’s plan starting to gain traction which will leave big marks all over the company this year. There is also a ton of updated product that will be hitting dealers over the next 12 months. The quality is the wildcard in all of this, the recall costs are blowing holes in everything.

  4. I just called my dealer, and he informed me there's a build week and a VIN in the system for my Escape PHEV Premium now! March 13th is the target. He seemed surprised; he wasn't aware of it yet. "It must have just happened," he said. Mine was ordered Dec. 14th, 2021, and re-ordered on Nov. 21, 2022. VIN A297xx.

  5. Try the Ford Canada site. It works for me there. Haven’t had any luck with the US site. https://shop.ford.ca/vehicleordertracking/

  7. If it's a CSX train call 877-744-7279. Option 2, then 1, then 3. After that say "location". It will ask for the car initials (COER), then the car number (900331). Then say "done". The other rail lines have their own automated lines, you should be able to find out how to call from a Google search.

  8. After decades of trying to save money outsourcing its parts, Ford finally understands how that dug holes in its business processes. Most of that rot began with spinning off Visteon but now extends to almost every aspect of Ford’s parts supply. I agree with castings but things like electronic components and even things like outsourcing stamping or even turn signal lamp modules can have devastating consequences. Just in time parts delivery crashed and burned years ago, the term now used as derision…..

  9. I ordered the 2023 Escape PHEV Order date: 09/21/2022 700A ST-Line Select 2.0L Technology Package 2 Discount Memory Package: Driver's Seat and Driver/Front Passenger Sideview Mirrors Active 1.5L Technology Package 2 Discount PHEV Premium Package Tech Pack #2 At the time I ordered mine, it was part of the Tech Pack #2. So since it was listed in the system at that time, I hope I will still get it...lol

  10. while I’m a vacuum, I don’t disagree, I’m looking at the health of the brand as-is with the existing lineup, and see the brand having issues if they don’t at least have a stop-gap product in the 2 row segment until the BEVs arrive.

  11. Not mentioned here, but one of the more fascinating bits of info was ford talking about how this new ev platform they're developing is super flexible. How it would enable them to use it in a ton a new segments and that nothing was really off the table. Hopefully that means ford will pivot to giving us a wide array of interesting evs. Rather than just doing 38 different crossover models.

  12. It’s not perhaps, it is Billions and it is killing the companies competitiveness. Warranty costs are brutal. In a traditional market, market it would have been ugly, they would have been able to manufacture considerably more vehicles with the defects and wouldn’t have have the pricing power and margins. In the first 9 months of 2020 Ford has 2 billion more in warranty costs than GM. While GM did recall more vehicles in 2021 (8 million) than Ford it still not a good thing recalling 5.4 million vehicles.
