Little late in posting, actually picked it up from Nick last Friday. Took me a week to get around to washing it and grabbing some better pictures. Specs are carbonized gray badlands, sasquatch, lux package, 2.7 w/10sp, mic hardtop, and washout floors. We've put about 600 miles on it and are loving it so far. Averaging ~18 might over all, got 21 on the trip from KC to StL.


Spent the day today correcting the paint, there were just a few scratches I cleaned up. Didn't bother doing the whole thing. Then coated everything in TEC graphene ceramic coating. Still have to do the wheels but ran out of time today.


Currently planning on a set of mud flaps to save the doors paint, some still guards and possible a set of removable steps for the factory sliders. For now it's the wife's car and does just fine for what she needs plus the occasional trip to the trails.

Nice. How long were you waiting?

Your government is lying to you
We reserved the second day banks were open in July 2020. It was originally supposed to be a graduation present for my wife getting her doctorate in nursing. She graduated with that in December 2020. So we're a little delayed but better than never

It is currently the most fuel efficient vehicle we own lol. My jeep on 35s gets half that.

I'm 6"2 and the 4 hour drive, which I did all of, back home was more comfortable than her 2016 fusion we traded in. With our rear facing car seat in the back passenger side I can fit in the front passenger side pretty comfortably

Can I assume you had a '21 on order and they eventually bumped you to a '22? This is what my son's dealership has had to do with several orders.

Yup same deal. There were a few reservation holders ahead of me so I didn't make the cut for the 21s.
I really like the wheels on these. How's the engine and trans?
So far so good. The 2.7 has plenty of power and the 10r60 shifts pretty good. It's a little clunky some times on takeoff but it's only got about 600 miles on it. I imagine with the adaptive learning it will only get better.
