Just got these pics in from my salesman... she has arrived safely! I'll add more pics once I get her home later today. Let me know if you have any requests!
Big Bend 4 door
2.3L Auto
MIC roof
Mid Package
Signature Lights
7/13 9:45pm reservation
6/21 build week
6/24 blend date
6/25 gate release
6/28 left MAP via convoy
6/29 delivered to my dealer
UPDATE:
Crappy driveway pics but here she is!
Early impressions:
- Has that bank vault feel like a F-150. Solid and substantial.
- Rides REALLY nice. Shook it around a bit out in the woods just to see what she can do. Incredibly surefooted. Much more confident feeling than other off roaders I've been in.
- I know it's a learning transmission but it hunts for gears quite a bit. I'm assuming that will calm down soon as we get used to eachother.
- Hate the auto start/stop. I've just been turning it off at startup, the button is easy.
- The interior is solid and super comfortable.
- Don't be in a hurry to get out of a parking lot with it! Lots of questions and pictures.
Overall? This thing is a damn home run. The engineers, designers, and awesome crew at MAP absolutely nailed it.
UPDATE 2:
After the baby went to bed, we left the kids home, popped the front panels off, and hit some of the back roads. Roof operation is SO easy and well thought out, with tactile feedback when a latch is fully opened or closed.
55 miles an hour on a country road with all that open air was absolutely perfect, and damnnear spiritual.
