If you decide to go with Adams, order direct through their site. You will get 20% off for signing up for emails. I purchased the full kit w/light for $104 shipped today. Was the cheapest I saw by a bit.
Called Ford today and received VIN and build date of 9/19.
A little bittersweet since I know a lot of others have been waiting much longer, but definitely not going to complain!
I contacted Ford by phone and was given that status by the agent.
Their description of No Hold was essentially that there were no constraints or anything holding up my order from moving forward "at this time"
Likely the 4 door for the ability to sleep inside when camping.
Will depend on interior dimensions though, if the 4 door doesn't allow enough space to stretch out comfortably than I will go with the 2 door
I voted 2.3l since thats likely what I'll need to say with my decided budget. If the 2.7 is within $2k and not tied to a higher package/trim than I will definitely go that route.
With that said, the 2.3 hp/tq figures already match what the V8 in my Lexus is putting out, and I loved the engine...
