Here's mine...sorry I'm not the best photographer. The 2025 changes really do make a difference; the electronic brake booster for the 2.3L option makes it feel much sure footed when braking, and the 2.3L MPC feels more torquey at the lower RPMs and smoother. Unfortunately I do have to take it...

Another thing to consider is while the Wildtrak comes with larger tires that may not be as compliant for on-road use, it also comes with the HOSS 3.0 suspension that might offset that negative aspect. In terms of resale consideration, I'd expect the Wildtrak to have a slightly better residual...

I'll inquire with the dealer if they see anything listed on their system when I take delivery, but I'm not seeing any recalls listed for its VIN.

Just a day over three months to get from the order sheet to the dealer, waiting on the dealer to let me know when it's ready to be picked up.

Most dealer's inventory systems are designed to automatically list an incoming inventory without the manual upkeep (Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be able to recognize a retail versus customer order), you're probably fine.

The pre-2025's 2.3L engines also used in the Mustang Ecoboost seems to be right around low-to-mid 300 WHP for simple bolt-ons such as intake, tune and exhaust. I'm curious to see what (if any) extra head room the 2.3L MPC engine in the 2025+ Broncos/Rangers has over the prior generation, I'd...

It wouldn't hurt to see if the dealer can reach out to their Ford rep to find out, if it's a part constraint then they should be aware of it as it could affect multiple/future customers.

I'm sorry to see that, Ford chat support seems to have degraded a lot these past few years; they use to share the rail car info when I wanted to track the rail shipment and apparently, they don't do that these days.

No, it's not typical for the In Production state to be that long, most people's order are only in that state for a week or two at most, unless there is a Quality control hold or parts issue. Did you reach out to Contact Us | Ford® Customer Service, Help & Live Chat | Ford.com to see if they can...

@NBGoose Check your tracker, I just got the Built email from Ford. It'll still show Order confirmed status but you'll see a date under Built on the visual timeline.

I think this is just Ford being Ford...realistic conjecture is whatever backend component supports this tracker is likely undergoing maintenance on the weekends so it goes to a default status. I've seen this before with prior orders so I've learned not to bother looking on the weekends. The...

My modules are now populated but my status page reverted back to Order confirmed...just gonna stop looking at it on weekends. :LOL:

The modules will populate once the vehicle is getting put together going down the assembly line. My blend date was actually yesterday but the module hasn't come online yet; it seems Ford's been running behind on most of the recent scheduled build dates.

Yep that's the new 2.3L MPC engine, easiest way to tell is the intercooler pipe routing.

Order guide and order bank opening for the next model year has been consistently around August-October since MY2022.
