I know what you mean. I talked myself into a Nautilus (when I really wanted a Corsair). The radio cuts out when going under trees (leaves are the issue, I guess) and the volume doesn't work on certain drives. Even though I got the code from Lincoln, the dealership says that it has to happen...

I actually enjoy the car-buying experience. I've ordered most of my vehicles since 2004 (Dodge Ram 2500 HEMI w/ 6-speed manual). If I don't order them, I do extensive internet research to "locate" them and then either have a local dealership arrange a trade or do the online purchase option...

I doubt that they can amend the order. What I believe is more likely to happen is they will still build that vehicle and ship it to the dealership. However, if in the meantime you've worked with the dealership to build another one the way you want, they'll void the original bill of sale and...

It is DEFINITELY worth waiting an additional two or three months to get what you want.

Nice. How accurate is the photo that appears with your order update to the vehicle that you ordered? I did the "Build & Price" and noticed that the 2026 is $2630 more than my '24 with the same options plus the $985 moonroof. Ouch.

So, they ARE building Rangers with the moonroof?

I couldn't agree more. Every time I get into my '24 Ranger Lariat, I am reminded that it doesn't have the moonroof. It's the only vehicle that I've had in 28 years without one.

BINGO. When I looked at the itemization on my Monroney Sticker, I thought I was buying a GM vehicle: $130 splashguard flaps, $200 Floor liners all-weather+carpet mats, $215 Integrated box side step, and $95 Securicode keyless keypad. Nickel-and-diming on a $49000 vehicle.

I have them. Personally, I feel they should be standard with a delete option.

I wish I had gone that route. I could have had the moonroof and a manual transmission.

'27, not 27'

You are NOT crazy to wait. I have a '24 Ranger Lariat. I almost purchased a '24 Tacoma TRD Sport with moonroof and 6-speed manual. Every time I drive my Ranger, I am reminded that I don't have two options that I really wanted in a vehicle that stickered at $51,115. (I can live without the...

Not exactly: 2019 = '2019?

You are correct. It was drilled into my head in the 3rd grade during "Contractions" that the apostrophe simply replaces letters or numbers.

FWIW, 19' = 19 feet and 25' = 25 feet.
