Hi Steve in Denver and welcome to the Blue Oval Forums. What akirby stated. For passengers in their rear seats: A rear seat passenger can unlock their door and exit the vehicle by pulling the interior door handle twice.
The exception is when the child safety locks are activated. Then the rear door/doors can only be opened by using an exterior door handle.
Or turn off the Autolock feature and lock/unlock manually.
Also, you do not have to open your door to allow her out of the back or allow passengers in. Just use the power door lock button on your drivers door to unlock the doors. You can even do it before you come to a stop when picking up rear seat passengers. Then all four doors will unlock for your passengers.
All of this information and more is also covered in the Owners Manual.
Good luck.
Just ODD decisons as Ive outlined before...its definitely costing us Ranger sales for sure...as for the Escapes, insane, AND confusing...odd now given theres so many variables since they are at the end of their cycle....chassis just sitting around perhaps? Would not surprize me in the slightest if they become the Fleet Courtesy Deliverity mainstays...
Then you’re in the 20% who would just do a special order. The chances of finding exactly what you want in the colors you want is pretty rare given all the combinations.
I had the opposite problem on our last two MKX/Nautilus. Nobody had what we wanted in stock within 500 miles with everything we wanted which was a loaded reserve model. First one we compromised on the engine, wheels and skipped the technology package to take what was in stock. On the current one we only compromised on the engine getting the 2.0L rather than the 2.7L but I’m ok with that.
It just seems silly that you can get a high end reserve model Lincoln and still be missing options.
Well that’s a little different not offering certain things at all. I was just referring to dealer stock option packages. You could still allow special orders for more unique combinations.
I think that's where the additional product would come into play - the lower volume models like Evos, Zephyr, etc. that are already designed in ROW but aren't here because of plant space.
You name it, if it's a tech company, Ford has poached engineers from it. Apple, Rivian, Tesla.......the list goes on and on.

that said some of Fords simplification wont help their numbers...no more F150 Supercab Long beds, no more normally aspirated V6 engines, no more Ranger Supercabs, crecab with a small bed or nothing and a $37k starting price baqsically....some true head scratchers...and then you have the Escape...absolute smorgasboard of total mayhem as mentioned...?????????????????
we just caught an order put ion by Ford for us on 2025 Explorers....every one had the $6000 painted black roof....that option is a flooring red flag ( Icecapades will understand that statement )
