We have all been where you are. It was 2.5 years to get mine. If it helps at all when you finally get scheduled and delivered all the frustration fades. Easy for me to say but it really is worth the wait.
Finally installed my 4 bangers from Morimoto. Install was easy with the upfitter switches and light output is great. I’ll get a few nighttime photos in the coming days.
As with most on this forum, I began my journey in July of 2020. I followed all the deadlines and held out (99d my order) for the black roof that was promised for the Wildtrak. When Ford finally announced no black roofs my dealership prioritized my order and I was picked up at the end of 2022...
If the "new" build is exactly what you want I would trade and upgrade. You will never be happy knowing you could have taken one exactly like you wanted.
Your site was great! I was lucky enough to take delivery right before the shut down. Thank you for the hard work and maybe fords will be as reliable one day lol.
