Come on guys, many of these questions can be found between the dealer source guide and order guide that are posted at the top of these forums. Lets please stay on topic to keep this thread clean and allow Brian to be able to answer the questions more efficiently.
Thanks Brian for being here as...
I appreciate everyone at Ford sending these pictures!
This picture is with the 68B Premier trim package (because of the stitching on the brow of the dash board, also notice the white stitching on the steering wheel and console lid which I have not noticed before!). Can someone there take a...
Wanted to start a discussion what people have found are the differences between these two sound systems. I originally thought I wanted the 401a but it seems pricey for what you get. I don't care much about the BLIS (have had both and I think the integrated spotter mirrors give more confidence...
The only one I saw that had adaptive cruise was the EB in oxford white next to the Wimbledon White LE during the Mustang Memories show on Sunday. It had the grille with the two blocks on either side. The LE had the same lower grille and did not have adaptive cruise.
I would say this still...
As others have noted, do not trust the builder for accuracy in pictures or option combinations. There are vehicles that have been through several model years and they are still showing the wrong things on the builder site. It should only be used for an estimation.
It's amazing as closely as we have found that Ford monitors these forums that they don't just clear this up with some pictures so we know what we are ordering. Why the mystery for something that is now being produced?
I don't know why anyone was expecting anything different from a 4 cylinder. It doesn't mean it's wrong, it's just people had unreasonable expectations.
It wouldn't be the same for me driving a mustang without the rumble, so I am willing to sacrifice some MPG for power and sound.
But it's...
Not available on the Escapes for whatever reason. The main thing that burned me up when I had my 13 Escape was the lack of consistency in operation compared to other Ford vehicles. Same with the memory recall via key fob and auto heated seats w/remote start that the owner's manual said was...
Was reading the owner's manual and it says that the message center will alert you if ACC needs you to down shift because of slower speeds. I would say the verdict is still out on the clutch disengaging ACC.
No, only reason being is I put less than 1000 miles/year on my '97 Cobra and I would rather have fresh oil in the spring, but I suppose it doesn't matter since I don't startup the car in the winter. Either way it comes out like brand new gold color because of the lack of use.
I am happy that Ford has finally come to the 21st century and has tire pressure readouts for individual tires!
Other notable items is it will flash the hazard signals if you spin out, different size tank for the ecoboost engine (15.5 vs 16), adjustable tilting headrests, memory includes both...
I don't agree with the storage procedures. A 15 minute startup is worse than leaving it sit over the winter without touching it. 15 minutes isn't enough to fully heat the engine oil and exhaust system to burn off moisture.
I've been storing late model Mustangs over the winter since I started...
Per a new car inventory manager on blueovalnews.com (ice-capades) this was sent out to them via Ford communications on July 21st:
So anyone without a VIN can expect to see a delay in movement of getting a VIN until September.
Not to add disappointment but I have been through this now on several new car launches when pre-ordering for production--most recently 2012 Focus and 2013 Escape which were both brand new chassis. Both these cars sat in holding lots and were delayed by a few months as then other orders started...
