Hi all. I deposited on the Escape 5.0 over the weekend As of today, I won't see the trailer until Oct 2024. I know at times Escape has build slots that open up allowing for a quicker delivery date. How many of you have had the good fortune of an accelerated delivery date, and how many months did the delivery date shift? Thanks.

We deposited for an Escape 5.0 in May 2021. Our original completion date was late August 2023. We were offered earlier dates twice. We declined the first date, which was five months earlier (March 2023), and would have meant a winter drive from Ontario to BC to pick up the trailer. We did agree to the second date and moved forward to May 2023. Escape has also reached out to ask customers if they would accept "any earlier dates" on two occasions. We declined the first offering but accepted the second, most recent, offering. We're waiting to see if this will move us into a 2022 prodution date but also realize that this is very wishful thinking for a 5.0. The issue, as mentioned by Tucson Kim, is that 5.0 production slots don't generally move forward as vigorously as other models due to the fact that they cannot be produced as quickly. All that being said, we've just past year one and are starting the second and final year of our great expectations ... Amazingly, time still flies by very quickly. Good Luck with your journey.
We were shifted forward a couple of times, by almost 10 months. However, that is for a 17B, and the 5.0 slots don't seem to move as fast.
