I just picked up my 2009 FEH Limited 4x2 Loaded last week. My thoughts after a tank of gas: I averaged 35.2 MPG in pure suburban driving. (I was trying too, so that might go down some). If you have concerns about a $35,000 truck not displaying your phones text messages, there are phones that are compatible that might cost you a few hundred bucks to switch to. ( a minor fee for something so important to you) IMO with 'A' plan, the Hybrid Tax credit, the better MPG's and the resale value of the FEH, it was a no brainer over the NON-Hybrid escape. (would I do it without 'A' plan? Yup) The Nav system with Sirius Travelink and SYNC blow any system away that I have seen so far. Voice recognition and capability is huge. My Ipod connected right in, my phone synced up no problem, all while never cracking the manual (Note: Gen x'er here..) Has a USB input for external hard drives, and a 110v plug. Factory Warranty on the Hybrid battery is 8 years, 100k mi. Pretty solid there. Throw in the fact that I am supporting American workers at Kansas City and driving an American Car, I was all in. Good Luck in your decision. Hx

Thanks Viper, I hope that wasn't something that I missed in a sticky. Hx

Yeah, I was just hoping to get an update because based on the blend date it looked like mine could have been built before the shutdown. No worries though. Thanks for your service, it is greatly appreciated. Hx.

Thanks for the update. It is greatly appreciated by those still waiting for theirs.! Congrats..

I think what he meant was: He WAS first in line for the 'tickle me ELMO' and the others who showed up hours later got theirs first. Would you be pissed? Hx

I noticed on a lot of Vipers post that they all go through the Blend Date process, then the Produced Date, Gate Release etc, etc. But once they get the Shipped date, it appears that people stop requesting updates (obviously, i think, they received the vehicle). For those of us still waiting, can you let us know when you received yours from the time it was Gate released? It would help us all who are anticipating our FEH/MMH. Thanks! Hx

Thanks for the Update Viper..! It is much appreciated... Hx.

[Hey, Halifaxboy, I seen you ordered white suede exterior. Do you know if that is the only white available? I wanted White as in pure white but the dealer told me that white suede was the only white offered. Was this the case for you too? thanks Hxciter

Thanks for all your help.....it is greatly appreciated.! hxciter2008
