  1. Copy that! Appreciate your insights. Will have to be alert when I begin my shopping. Thanks, again!
  2. That's great to hear. Of course, I think my next purchase may be a Mach-E in a year or two. Wonder how much the ESP for that one would be. Anyway, sorry to ask this on this thread, but wasn't there a mandate by Ford that dealers need to sell Mach-E's at MSRP and not more? Noticed a dealer in Florida selling for about $1,000 over sticker. Just curious. Thanks!
  3. Good afternoon. Not trying to hijack the thread, but I have a dumb question. I will be moving from Maryland to Florida. Two of my Ford vehicles currently have Ford ESP on them from Maryland, and my Jeep Wrangler has the Mopar Lifetime Warranty. Will these still be valid in Florida? Also, once I am a Florida resident, I won't be able to buy Ford ESP on any new vehicles at only MSRP? Thanks!
  4. Hey, HRG. Yeah; I was scratching my head trying to see if that was right. Thanks for the info. I think I will go with the 50A.
  5. Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. I saw that the 240V/30A with NEMA 14-50 is the outlet referenced to as an option for charging the Mach-E using the adapter that comes with the vehicle. Is it good or bad to have a 240V/50A with NEMA 14-50 outlet installed? Would this work properly for charging at home? Thinking ahead with a Mach-E potentially in the future. Thanks!
  6. Congratulations, Ice! You have been very helpful with your valuable information and insight. Good luck with your future endeavors!
  7. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One should try to see things from the other's perspective (and take a deep breath) before getting so sensitive. It was from such sensitivities that I stopped coming here years ago. I think, rather than being dragged into such arguments again, i will just bid you all a fond farewell once more. Take care and stay safe!
  8. Well, on the 2020 Escape, it looks too much like a Mazda. Just not my style. The Bronco Sport, I don't care much for the styling. Again, not my style. Personally, I liked my 2007 Mariner style even over my 2018 Escape. I guess I like them a bit boxy but not like a lifted Flex. Don't get me wrong. I have other vehicles. I was just talking about the Escape and Bronco since that was the other person's post. Although my fleet has decreased in recent years, I like the 2003 Ford Mustang GT, 2014 Jeep Wrangler, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 Subaru Forester, and 2007 Jeep Liberty. The 2018 Ford EcoSport I have is a lease so it doesn't count...lol.
  9. I bought a 2018 Escape, and I like that one better than the 2020. Now, I was looking forward to the new Bronco Sport. Unfortunately, if the leaked pictures are correct, I don't care for the Bronco Sport either. Bummer!
  10. I think you may be the envy of several people right now. I, personally, can't wait to see how it turns out. Hopefully, all bugs would be worked out when my EcoSport lease ends in 2021. Not too fond of the EcoSport. Speaking of which...I wonder if that is what the plastic trim along the bottom may resemble.
  11. I leased a 2018 EcoSport Titanium 2.0L AWD back in December 2018. Have a couple of issues and thought I would ask if anyone else knows of these. First, I categorize several issues under "electronics" issue. I've noticed that most of the time, the white guiding lines do not appear when in reverse...only the distance lines. Also, there are times when the radio sound comes out only from the center speaker on the dashboard. Then, the radio station resets (AM 530 or SiriusXM promo) very frequently. The monitor even froze on one occasion where the map was not progressing while I was driving and none of the buttons would work. Anyhow, when I brought this up when I took it in for the Spring service, i was told that Ford was working on a software update that should address these issues. Does anyone know if this is true and whether the update is available yet? Second, I am hearing/feeling vibrations from possibly the drivetrain under certain situation. I actually had a 2015 Focus that had issues with the transmission, but this one is not as severe as the Focus. What I notice is when I take my foot off the accelerator to allow the EcoSport to coast, I can feel and/or hear a vibration that is similar to when one upshifts a manual transmission too soon without having sufficiently accelerated. However, that vibration goes away when I step on the accelerator again. The vibration seems to be from under the vehicle behind the driver's position. This one, I have not yet had the service department look into. Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of these items. Thanks!
  12. I recently leased an EcoSport after the wife's Focus was rear-ended while I was driving it. Pick-up front bumper to Focus trunk impact made for a bad and painful experience so I got rid of the Focus and my '13 Mustang for an '18 Escape. Idiots tried to hit the Escape on my way home from taking delivery. Thought about it and leased an '18 EcoSport as the daily (and expendable) vehicle. After the wife drove it, she loves it so will probably end up buying it at lease end or get a new one if she likes the new design...for which I am hoping for flow of information soon. Personally, I wish it had a stronger engine and larger wheels/tires. Aside from that, I actually like it even though it's about 10 inches shorter than the Escape.
