I don't want to be mean because well done murdered-out cars look really good cruising and showing off, but if your main use isn't for show then I have to tell you that I used to drive a lot and have had several close calls with cars I just could not see at night. The last one was just last year...
I read a few threads on the MIC and soft tops sloughing off rainwater into opened doorways, enough so that Ford added a ridge to recent soft tops to help.
Does the MOD top also need an addon gutter? I live in the Southwest where it doesn't rain a lot, and we worry about melting like the Wicked...
It's crazy, right? I got someone else's order from 8/2023 when they abandoned it, and it's been "in production" since 1/2024 and I'm handcuffed the same way... where else can I find a 4dr manual trans Heritage? Best of luck to both of us, and all the rest of us in the Heritage thread 💪
Basic rule: any time someone says "many" or "I'm hearing..." then they're lying or were lied to. This counts in politics and cars, both things people care about deeply!
Another week sitting on a tear tag - if this were my order from the start I'd be really annoyed. As it is, dealers marking inventory for sale as "In Transit" is where my annoyed is leveled at 🕰
Best of luck to everyone; we're all in the same boat, but at least we're not pretending to BE a...
Not sure if most dealer contacts can differentiate "hard top" into MIC or MOD at this point 🤔 I'm kind of afraid to make the decision to ship it from the dealer to me here, or fly out and road trip home. So hard to find a manual heritage
I'm thinking that why would Ford make the custom trim parts available for anything but replacements so early in the lifecycle? Ford has nothing to gain by diluting the branding and reducing available stock for "real" models. I assume that it will become easier later on...
Thinking of going with BlackVue DR970X-Box-Plus because the actual cameras are very small and easier to hide, with a remote box holding the recording guts. Stealthed cameras is a good thing.
Any experiences with remote cameras to share?
5. Grab handle straps above all doors.
I don't even have my car yet, but I've already got these waiting. I love just reaching up and hanging my arm like that when driving.
What's the difference between Heritage Edition and Heritage Edition Advanced on that chart? I don't remember seeing that distinction before. Or I'm blind =)
May as well add this order that I picked up last month (not sure if it's a dealer car or customer abandoned after waiting some months)
