Ford Escape folks---
Regarding ordering a 2022 Escape: My order for a 2022 Escape SEL plug-in hybrid (trailer hitch and pseudo-spare only options) was placed 5Jan2022, it was "in production" 29May2022, it was built 8Jun2022, and said to be shipped to Larry Miller in Salt Lake City 11-17Jul2022, but now said to be shipped 26Jul-1Aug2022. All "explanations" have been cited for this situation, patience seems to be the best approach, and lowering one's expectations may lead to the best performance. Ford has determined I am a security risk, and I am no longer able to track my order with Ford.
Good luck to y'all with your orders.
