[2023 Escape Orders & Discussion]

I got the supply chain issues delay email as well yesterday.
Ordered a 23 PHEV with A-plan on 9/22/22, which I understood to be slightly prioritized. Bummed that one of the first PHEV orders with supposedly one of the highest likely priorities still got delayed. Oh well.

99Z/991 is the engine code, not the transmission, per page 30 of the 2023 Escape order guide.

 

 

Escape Active page 8 has engine/trans code for the 2.5l hybrid being 99Z/445. Same thing for ST-Line on page 12, ST-Line Select page 15, ST-Line Elite page 18, and Platinum page 21. The order code if you want to the hybrid 2.5l engine is 99Z, always with 445 (the ecvt).

Now, when you scroll down to page 24 for the PHEV, that order code changes to 991/445.

It appears to me the '23 plug-in FWD ECVT could be a different ECVT than in the FWD ECVT in the other '23 Hybrid Escapes. The plug-in FWD could use the extra torque so the gas engine doesn't kick on under acceleration as easy under towing. I noticed there is a different motor # on the ordering pages for the FWD Platinum and FWD Plug-in.   

 

That IS interesting.

2022 Escape Order Guide has every PHEV trim having an order code of 99Z/445 for the engine/trans code.
2023 Escape order guide has the Hybrids (Active, ST-Line, Elite, Platinum) having the same 99Z/445 code, but the PHEV for 2023 now has that code listed as 991/445.
