Well that's not good if Bilstein was left out of that meeting. But, as long as Bigfoot was there with the engineers, I'm sure we'll be fine. The crash bars are a little concerning though.
If Ford designed my house without a front door, I would just climb through the window. All the snowflakes worried about entering their home through a door need a hobby! Plus, my house came with a Lux package which includes a step ladder to climb through the window. They thought of everything!
They could’ve offered as an option I guess. I personally wouldn’t have added it. But it’s a legit question. Just like, why do I need Lux to get a garage door opener?
Also with a small local dealer. They were able to tell me my allocation number out of total number. They also let me know how many orders have a build date so far. If your dealer refuses to give you that info they're just being dicks. Hang in there!
Same happened to me. Internet dealer > manager > salesperson > radio silence. But, I know the salesperson knows less about what’s going on than I do so I just set the bar low.
