My order was not placed through the reservation system, but rather by fortuitously coming across a dealer with an allocation on the way (plus another order waiting for an unbuilt 'runaround gang'). While I have a VIN I have never been able to get an order# to use in the trackers and have always...
Well, your post inspired me to call in to Ford in between shopping Defenders and 4xe's. Annndd.... "Produced" status, with no specific date listed for delivery as yet. So, certainly positive news. I do not benefit from the online tracker, so I am guessing this is the equivalent of Built in there.
Been struggling with this, so correct me if I am wrong: it seems the wheel width should be a consideration as the offset is based on the centerline of the wheel and a wider wheel at the same offset would therefore have inherently more poke. Many of the aftermarket wheels (most?) that I have...
Going out on a limb here, with 9 inch zero offset wheels, those fender flares could make sense. Given the angle peeking over barbed wire, these photos may not represent the objective of their design. I will reserve judgement for when I see these matched to the proper wheel/tire combo.
The scoop, 🙁
@Rosanna, what has your experience been with the wireless charger? Specifically, do you know if it will keep a phone charged (or better yet, increase its charge) while connected to something like Android Auto or Apple Car Play wirelessly?
In my case, here in Canada, the vehicle is not in the online trackers. Mine is a June 18 Blend that was originally scheduled for August 24th delivery. Ford then told the dealership it was subject to "additional QC checks" but it has clearly been in DM. While there, Ford advised the dealership it...
This would be such a great thread if it had pictures.
Could your friend report if they were hardtops or had that ever-so-fine film of silt from a stayover at dirt mountain?
Right, stopping will not be your biggest problem, it will be "continuing to go". City/highway driving requirements should be vigorously discarded. All the serious winter overlanders seem to run giant balloon tires at hyperlow pressure. Are you adding a compressor to reinflate?
Watching too much...
Yeti coolers are pretty expensive to start. I think you made a wise choice.
I thought bringing a guest was an additional charge? This suggests the opposite.
Really like those Nitto Trail Grapplers. Having a hard time not ordering these, want to at least see the KO2s before deciding. However, looks like they did it without a lift and wonder if that is wise.
