#596 of 705 tracking your order for a 2009 Hybrid Escape Limited by pal44 Aug 08, 2008 (11:05 am)
The phone number to call for tracking your vehicle is 1-800-392-3673. The number prompts are 1 - 5 - 2 - 2   You can't get anywhere without your VIN number. You will also need:   Body style (U59 for the 2009 Ford Escaped Hybrid Limited - loaded) Dealer Number (usually a letter followed by 5 numbers) Your order number given to you by your dealer   A good web site for this vehicle is www.genuineservice.com   This is a free service. You can download your manual (333 pages) or save it to your favorites, a much better idea. Replies to this message: burnsva (Aug 14, 2008 5:05 am)
#597 of 705 '09 FEHL AWD initial observations... by marksp Aug 09, 2008 (8:51 am)
We picked up our new 2009 FEH Limited this week. Sort of surprised a "Limited" trim level, $35K MSRP 2009 vehicle does not include Home Link garage door opener integration or back-up camera in the $2,395 Navigation system. The included back-up sensors are nice, but camera is more functional and expected. In fact, there are exposed bolts, wire looms and visible brackets which seem out of place for a '09 vehicle in this price category.    That being said, the hybrid drive system is super sophisticated, SYNC + Navigation + Sirius Travel Link is awesome and it's great to be driving USA made, lower impact vehicle!
#598 of 705 Received my VIN number today by mtbk Aug 12, 2008 (7:31 pm)
My dealer called today to let me know that I had a vin number, a build date and a delivery date. If all goes well we will have a new Escape on 9-1-08. The excitement builds.   Does anyone know the weight allowances for roof top carriers, bikes etc or does Ford not recommend it?

Replying to: mtbk (Aug 12, 2008 7:31 pm) Congratulations! Hopefully with 3 shifts working, they'll crank through orders a little quicker, too.

Replying to: mtbk (Aug 12, 2008 7:31 pm) Hey mtbk, curious when you ordered and what part of the country your in. I'm hangin' tight in Pittsburgh waiting the VIN for about 2 months. Not too long considering other people's waits, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get it before December because it looks like the tax break will phase to 50% come January.

Replying to: troberts1 (Aug 13, 2008 10:51 am) Per the Ford Motor Company memo (distributed to all dealers) dtd July 17, 2008: "As of June 30, 2008, combined sales of the FEH and MMH eligible for the US Federal Tax Credit are 55,990. Based on sales patterns it appears the 60,000 unit threshold will be reached within the third quarter of 2008. If this is the case, purchasers of the FEH or MMH would be eligible for the full federal tax credit until December 31, 2008. Purchasers after that would be eligible for a reduced credit equal to 50% of the full amount until June 30, 2009."

Replying to: mtbk (Aug 12, 2008 7:31 pm) "Does anyone know the weight allowances for roof top carriers, bikes etc or does Ford not recommend it? "   I believe I have read 145 lbs. But if you want MPG, don't do it. I think a rear bike carrier would be more efficient.
#604 of 705 ordered 09 FEH by dvdkirtley Aug 13, 2008 (3:49 pm)
#605 of 705 ordered 09 FEH by dvdkirtley Aug 13, 2008 (3:57 pm)
oops, sorry about that blank post. I ordered our new 09 FEH 2WD without the nav system, kiwi green. Placed the order on 7/25/08 but I don't think the dealer put it in until the next monday: 7/28/08. Dealer said it would probably be about 4-6 weeks wait for the vin#. Said it might be delivered as late as Dec or Jan. I sure hope it gets here by Dec so I can take the full tax credit. We live in St Louis, MO.   dvdkirtley Replies to this message: dvdkirtley (Dec 03, 2008 7:09 pm)
