My son, that lives in Germany, is considering revoking his US Citizenship to become a German citizen (at the moment, Germany does not allow dual-citizenship), the US Government charges $2350 to do so,,,,, HRG

Hope the kid & his family don't "lawyer up", and drag you and the dealership into court,,,,,,, HRG

That is Burgundy Velvet. HRG

Heck, I bought one last month, just because my wife has so enjoyed her '19. 0% for 66 months. HRG

Admittedly, it was old. but, as a phone & text device, it served my needs. I'm not one to run out and spend $$$ just to get the latest device. Heck, the Dell laptop I'm typing this on is 8 years old,,,, HRG

After a FordPass update in Jan 23 obsoleted my Android, I found out that while Androids don't update OS's, iPhones do. Got tired of app after app no longer working with my 'droid, the FordPass update was the last straw. HRG

And I can proudly say, in a company with thousands of employee's, I was the last one to give up my Blackberry,,,,,, HRG

I really, really wanted to order a Gen6 Ranger, but with my retirement in 6/2023 (and losing my company car), I'd have been 9+ months waiting on them to finally start shipping. I'm already on my 2nd Maverick, and you're right, adding another $10K to get the features I want in a Ranger just doesn't make sense for me. Still waiting on one to show up at a nearby dealers lot to look at though. HRG

The TSB started with the MY2017 for the Fusion. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169807-0001.pdf HRG

If only the stock price had gone up a similar percentage,,,,,,, HRG

Have they actually removed the head and determined that the block is cracked? Considering the original head gasket/block design lasted 6 years, I'd be interested that this isn't the much more common gasket failure, and some time could be bought by having a new gasket installed. I've been thru this coolant intrusion problem & had the short block replaced, so I'm more familiar than most. HRG

Did you not receive an Order Preview sheet, showing all the equipment and Priority level? HRG

As per the linked document, it's a 5-hour pressure test, followed by a borescope inspection. Certainly should not take a week. HRG

Possibly the coolant intrusion problem. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10169807-0001.pdf HRG

I'll be really surprised if they bring the SuperCab Ranger back in the US. I'll bet that most of the prior generation were fleet/delivery vehicles, the market seems to be pretty happy with Maverick filling that slot. HRG
