2015 FFH Titanium On Order

[HybridDragon]

Hello

Just starting out. Ordered the beauty at the end of May. DORA processed June 2, 2014. No schedule or VIN.

I see in other forums that the Hermosillo plant doesn't even startup till Jul 21.

Now for the long wait.

Sure am looking forward to this vehicle. Guard metallic, ceramic interior, most of the toys.

I love the look of the 2014/15 FFH.

Bring it soon, please.

Welcome & congrats. You should be able to begin tracking with cyberdman over at BOF once the summer shutdown ends. I would encourage you to do that. It helps make the wait easier.

HB, can you please explain more on how to do that? I have the VIN# for my 2015 order (DORA dated 06/04/2014) with a delivery ETA of 08/22/2014.

Just got a 2014 HySE in Sterling Gray, but I really wanted to order 2015 to get that Guard color or even the Magnetic. Unfortunately we couldn't wait that long without a car, considered doing a nano-lease/long-term rental for a couple months but just couldn't swing it. I've seen Guard up close on the new Mustang and it looks fantastic to me, really curious how it is going to look on the Fusion.

Here you go.

Thank you.

I have seen your posts here and over at BOF. All very helpful and useful. I look forward to learning and sharing hybrid info.

I know about the tracking with cyberdman, but I don't have much knowledge yet to make the requisite 15 posts. It will be a while before I can post a request there.

Hello.

I too saw the Guard metallic on a 2015 Mustang on the web from some auto show.That is what sold me. When the light catches it just right, WOW!

I was originally after a 2014 FFH in Dark side with most toys. But no stock available here, so I opted for the 2015

With some much appreciated assistance from Ashley and now Crystal (our Ford member on this forum), I have received my VIN. And successfully obtained a first copy of the window sticker for my car using info and tools from these forum. Thanks to all who preceded me and provided all the knowledge.

 

I guess it will be built sometime in the next week and has an estimated delivery to dealer of 26 August.

 

So far so good.

 

Now to start sourcing that donut spare and jack kit to replace the tire mobility kit. Its one of the key items I have picked up on here and elsewhere.

I found both of mine on ebay.

I found the entire spare tire kit at a local auto salvage yard (from a wrecked 2013 Fusion) for a fair price.

You're welcome, HybridDragon! Just send another PM my way when you're ready for an update; hopefully it'll help the wait go a little faster. :)

Well, its here...almost.

My 2015 is sitting in my dealers parking lot over the labour day weekend. The salesman says they are jammed and can't get it out till Tuesday Sept 2.

 

I did get to drive over and see it, though. First time seeing the Guard metallic and ceramic interior together, live.

I did make a good choice. Looks way better than any of the build and price pictures, but you'd expect that. I like the exterior especially at very oblique angles to pick up the subtle hues and tones. Looking forward to seeing it under various lighting conditions.

 

Just a few more days.

I have been tracking a few local auto yards around my area for the past month with no luck.

Even Ebay and Craig's list are coming up empty. Lots of parts in the US but virtually nothing here in Southern Ontario, or Canada for that matter. And most US sellers either won't ship north or charge more than its worth for the parts.

Looks like I may have to buy the wheel and tire from Ford or local tire shop (got almost equivalent cost quote from each) and get a suitable wrench and jack from good old Canadian Tire.

ARRIVED

 

finally took possession on September 2

in retrospect the order fell exactly into the 7 day timeframe from window sticker availability (Jul 29) to build date (Aug 6)

 

very pleased with the Guard metallic and ceramic interior. I have a had three comments about about how sharp it looks already.

 

after a few days I have figured out most of the tech stuff and set the car up the way I want, at least at this point

(thanks to all the forum topics, suggestions and ideas)

 

I put in the 3D Maxpider floor mats mentioned in the floor mats topic (I had taken a gamble and ordered them even before the car arrived) . The 2014 version fit exactly, the 2015 FFH and look great, an exact fit. The holes in the mats for the drivers securing pins have a slight rise to them so it would appear that it will take a lot of water to cause an overflow. I will see how they survive a great white north winter.

 

I really like the car. the tech blows me away, especially the comprehensive voice command capabilities and how easy it was to bluetooth my phone, phonebook and Ipod.

 

I am arranging for window tinting (3M ceramic) and still trying to find a spare wheel/tire/jack. Then I should be all set.
