Don't forget about the $250 subwoofer delete if you are deducting from the DORA price.

Excellent point, I’ve already noted it on my DORA.

Thank you!

What’s this about?

What’s this about?

The 2023MY were supposed to have a rear sub woofer. They only produced vehicles with this sub woofer for about 3 weeks before it became a constrained and unavailable commodity.

Same here. I’m in PDX too. Built since 4/14/23 and still waiting for a train apparently.

We're like desperados waiting for a train....

How many of you plan to purchase a Ford ESP extended warranty plan?

I am struggling with this decision. This will be the 2nd new vehicle I have ever bought. It is over twice the cost of the first new vehicle I bought, 2006 Honda Odyssey. I did not buy an extended warranty and the transmission went out last summer at 16 years old and 275k miles. A warranty never would have paid for itself.

This vehicle does not have the reliability rating of a Honda. I plan to keep it for the long haul and pass it on to my son. I am considering the 125k or 150k 10yr plan with $50 deductible.

What are you planning to do?

My situation is like yours 2nd new vehicle and over twice the cost of first (Nissan which is now 15 years old). If I had bought extended it would not had covered for itself because I had literally no issues till first 12 years.

But I am still planning to buy 10yr/100K extended plan. Mostly for the peace of mind, here are my reasoning. It's a new model, reliability perception of Ford, (fear due to selection bias) have been on this forum a lot and have seen engines go bust. And last but not the least because I can afford it now (price for peace of mind).

I notice a pattern, it seems like most of us whose shipment is stuck are Wildtrack & Badlands builds. I suspect there is a stop-ship due to some issue or a wait for that one missing part.

I'm an OBX sitting in limbo as well.

I do not think you are correct. Mine is showing as built. Ford said it was built and waiting shipment. I do not believe if it was waiting for a part it would show as built.

maybe it's not for a "part" and a stop-ship for some safety event? just guessing at this point because there are too many of us in this almost-ready but not shipped stage.

Based on other people from weeks prior still awaiting shipment, I think it is just difficulty in shipping logistics for understaffed railways.

My daily Ford chat yields no change and no new information. My
Bronco is still waiting to be shipped.
