As mentioned, they are not building your car yet. It will be built the week of the 7th. You can find the blend date on your window sticker. That will tell you when the car comes together on the line.
Yes, blend date is the technical build date, so you are up for a Monday build. Also to the right of that you will see ***/1273. The *** is your car number in this build run. Sort of useless information I know.
It's not just Ford. Almost all the automakers are having recalls. A lot of recalls. Some are much worse than Ford's windshield wipers and such (looking at you GM and your V8). Frustrating for sure, but unfortunately it's almost the new norm for new autos. Hopefully this will be behind you soon...
I replaced the driver side mirror glass only. Turn the mirror inward as far as it will go. You will be able to get your fingers behind it on one side and a pry tool under the other side.Work the pry tool side out a little and you should be able to get your fingers behind that side as well. Then...
Like it or not, this is the future. And it can be incredibly helpful and will only get better as it gets more refined. Embrace it, or move deep into the mountains. In a few years, there will be no middle ground, IMHO.
I live in a beach area. More traffic in summer with plenty of bumper to bumper. But honestly, when I drove several sticks back when, I didn't give it much thought. It was the car I owned and I just drove it. And I mean Chevy Chevette, Chevy Citation, Newer Chevy Nova. Those were not exciting to...
Magnaride has some customization. You can set normal mode, sport steering and track exhaust for example. But you can't adjust each magnaride parameters to your liking.
If you really want to get detailed, at the top of the sticker, you will see "Blend". Ignore the first number, then you have year, month and day. That is the date, the body met the chassis during production and is the actual build date. In case you're one that worries about Monday and Friday...
On the bottom of the window sticker is an invoice date (below MSRP box). The right most numbers are the invoice date. That date is just a few days prior to the actual build date. Add 3-4 weeks to that date and that's when it landed at the dealer. This will give you an idea of how long they have...
Well that would have been another $6K. Gotta draw a line in the sand at some point. I added plenty and still kept the wife happy. Don't want to push my luck. She restrained herself a little when she got her Bronco, so I return the good will. Sorta...
I'm 66 and I will get my new 2026 GT Premium in a week or so. Not to be used for any type of racing, just a fun car. It's my first performance car since having a GTO in the 70's. It may be my last car, so I loaded it with the performance package, premium package, active exhaust, B&O and...
My build date was July 13th, ship date July 27th. ETA to Coastal SC was August 14th but has now been pushed back to Aug 18th - 24th. Just for reference. The hail storm stories about damage to Ford vehicles remains unverified.
There has not been any damaging storms in Flat Rock recently that I have heard of. And none that would cause cars to be totaled. Do you have info other than a Facebook post?
Maverick is like 4 quarts less than a GT. So, $12/qt x 4 more =$48. That brings the total for a GT to $178. That's right in line with what a dealer gets, as D/\rK*650 mentioned.
