Change your order, its worth the wait. I have it in my Raptor and wouldnt order one without it now. Of course I wouldnt go without a sunroof in any vehicle now either.
I thought there was talk of a 4.X engine, I believe 4.8L, being built in a Canadian plant, but I havent heard much since.
I for one would like to see an eco V8, I think that is what should have been in the current generation Raptor.
While I get your point, those third rows certainly dont seem to be hindering the sales of the other vehicles. Its best for the Escape to have them whether logical or not, because the vehicles cross shopped will.
Ford has a habit of doing this with their cars. They know how to build a nice car but they never seem to fully commit to them. Its a shame really, because they could be a leader in these segments if they really wanted to.
Im not convinced your generation has that kind of loyalty to a brand. I think there is still opportunity there. I dont disagree that the product has to have the right appeal and price though.
So I was driving home northbound on Interstate 55 and encountered an ice storm. Heres what the truck looked like when I got home, an hour and a half later than I anticipated I might add. Once again the front sensors were all iced over and did not function. The camera at the top of the windshield did work when it could see the lines but otherwise it did not function either. I bring this up, because I still do not understand how these automated systems are going to handle common weather phenomenon like this, when the sensors do not work and the vehicle is blinded.
