Order into Jerry's Ford Leesburg VA, went smoothly. took 30 minutes including lot tour of Ranger in Cactus Grey and Bronco Sport in Area 51.
Simple order Big Bend, 2DR, 2.3L, Auto, Cactus Grey, Sandstone seats, Towing, Sound Deadening Headliner, LED Signature Lights, Auxiliary Switches Three Observations, 1. Can not have both Tube Step Option and Splash Guard Option contrary to B&P. Took the Tube Steps.
2. There is a Storage Bag for Door Option titled for "Off Vehicle Storage" for $190 also not listed in B&P. I took it and intend to use it with the back seats down or to store them safely protected in my garage
3. Got little paperwork, one page from dealer titled Preview Order and an even shorter email from Ford saying the order is confirmed with an 8 bullet summary. I hope that means that their focus is on production! Got an extra piece of paper on 3/2 - Purchase Agreement.
Thanks to Don I modified order on 3/2 - will look at aftermarket for headliner, and cargo mats that also cover the rear seat back when they are down. Final Mod made on 3/12 - Added 4.27 Rear locker
Ordered today 2/26 - Badlands 4dr, 2.7, lux, non-squatch, MIC, Cactus Gray - 7/22 Reservation - almost definitely ending up with a '22 - I am at a position 2x the dealer's expected allocation. The dealer conversion rate has been ~40% thus far. - Forgot to mention I woke up at 1am and couldn't fall back to sleep.
Placed order today. I was not an early reservation, like maybe sept/oct. But dealer thinks I will get a late 2021 since the allocations around here aren't very high. We'll see what May says!
