FORUM RANT

[ShadowChas]

I agree most people complain on forums like this and you don’t really see people saying the good stuff. However the people complaining about all the “stuff” they wish ford would have added to the Maverick is baffling me since we all know this is an entry level vehicle starting @ $20k with hybrid base they had to do a lot of cost savings for the price point (Honda & Hyundai are a lot more $). We all knew by ordering and/or reading up what the maverick has to offer or lacks. I myself didn’t get what I really wanted either but needed a vehicle that I decided to buy off the lot and I love everything it has to offer fitting all my needs and thanks to Ford for offering me a new “mini truck” vehicle I can actually afford.

The nice thing about living in the greatest country on earth is that we all have the right to voice our opinions (at least for now). We all understand that things are not normal right now (hopefully this is not the new normal). However, no matter what people who ordered first should have their trucks first....if there are constrained items or dealer allocation issues tell us and give us options on how to proceed. Lack of information and communication from Ford is total BS. But why should they care. They have the market cornered. Well maybe not. With my July order not scheduled yet I jumped ship and bought a Santa Cruz. More than I wanted to spend but so far very pleased. And long term I think I will be much happier.

Can I get the Ford FITS part number for this accessory please? Need it!!!

Shorter version: The OP got his truck in 2.5 weeks back in November. Everyone should quit complaining.

My take: When I haven't eaten all day, and someone who just ate a full mean tells me there's no reason to complain, I find it very persuasive. Don't you?

(BTW, I also find all the complaining tiresome. But sometimes there are nuggets of information buried in there, so I trudge on through. I can't control what people post about.)

Well one thing people have to realize about forums is that post, pictures, etc. , take up space. The forum owners have to pay so much $$$ for so much data amount. Making 1000 posts about the same complaints takes up un-necessary amounts of storage space. If I can ask the same question in a thread that has already been started about something I'll do it rather than start a whole new thread for the same thing. If I post a picture I compress it as much as I can. Pictures take up ALOT of space. Just something to keep in mind. Be considerate to the moderators that have to pay to keep the site going. We all know the waiting sucks but hey, at least some people at least have gotten emails from Ford. Since ordering I have not gotten the updates from Ford. 3 months later and I pretty much know it hasn't even been scheduled yet. At this point I will be happy if I can get it this year at all possibly by summer.

I hate to complain, but I for one am tired of people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about people complaining about people complaining. And nobody better complain about my post or I will have to complain about your complaint. Sorry if this sounds like I am complaining too much.

Hello all, I first joined this forum in dec.21, I knew this forum existed earlier but only joinned after I got a Maverick. First of, I mean no offense to those who will get offended but stop your complaining. This is a rant, if you dont like what im writing, then you can simply leave this thread. No hard feelings. I initially thought this forum was a good place to gather information and ideas for the Maverick, share projects and etc. But as of late, I found this forum to be very annoying and full of complaints. Its always about people complaining about how FORD or their dealerships markups and mess ups. I guess you can say im one of the lucky ones who received a Maverick in Nov.21. But I dont think I was lucky, I went to 8 total dealerships in my region. All had markups, no budging on pricing. I kid you not, I bought my Maverick, although it may be a XL trim ( i personally dont care ) sight unseen. After 7 dealership visits, I came to the conclusion, if i wanted this vehicle, id have to settle. placing an order was supposely going to take 3 months....which i doubted.. sounded like 6 to me. Guess i wasnt wrong about that. I settled for a maverick that was built by the dealership, i purchased it from and bought it sight unseen, knowing it wasnt going to be the maverick i exactly want, wasnt the color i wanted, wasnt the trim or options i wanted. but honestly i needed a vehicle, and i wanted the maverick. It came in 2.5 weeks later, i love my XL, yah its a lower trim, but its a functional car. Im a license mechanic, i know the more fancy stuff you want, the more problems it comes with. These vehicles are meant to be workhorses...theyre not a 6 figure vehicle you should be complaing about little things. What im trying to say is, you guys gotta stop complaining...this forum is full of complaining about production, about pricing, and its like a watchdog of Fords production line. Its kinda annoying. People need to understand its not FORDS fault, well not fully. Yah they could have done better...nobodies perfect, especially a cooperation like Ford that has 1 simply job...to create revenue for their shareholders...thats the honest fact...they are a business..theyre not here to screw you consumers over, althought it may seem that way. Covid19 has done lots of damage to society, and also to businesses. A shortage of parts is clearly indicated. A supply chain disruption....literally means a a link in a CHAIN has been broken and things will get delayed...people need to understand that...If you had an order and it wasnt filled...it sucks but its fricken reality...you guys need to stop complaining and pointing fingers...if you want the car bad enough...pay the premium...or stop whining. Thats the world we live in now.. stuff has gone up in $, looking at production #'s arent going to change anything. Stalking Ford isnt going to fix anything. All it takes is 1 chipset to not be available to stop a whole line up of vehicles from being built. There are more important things in life then complaining about how your Maverick isnt built... you wanted a hybrid. that comes with fricken semi conductors....which is a shortage.. suck it up. I wanted the hybrid too, but i know better then ordering one and hoping it will arrive at the promised time frame, 100% knowing there was a semiconductor shortage...anyone with a capable mind would understand those things come hand in hand.. so please stop complaining about production dates and crap when it wont change anything, you dont run the factory, you have ABSOLUTELY no control... wait or pay the price its going to cost. THATS HOW THE WORLD WORKS...capitalisms at its finest. This thread will probably get hated on, but i voice my opinion knowing so. Im just tired of coming onto this forum and seeing the SAME crap about production or markups. from every other thread thats created.. so annoying.

Hear! Hear! I went the no stress - it is what it is - don’t bother the salesman or the dealership or Ford - low key & laid back no jinx route and received my shipping notification from Ford yesterday 02/05/22. Order confirmation 10/29/21 EB XLT Shadow Black No Liner. Should see it in 2-4 weeks based on Ford’s shipping time estimate.

Somebody get that man a Snickers bar, quick!

I concluded years ago that online forums are 1/3 information transfer, 1/3 emotional therapy, and 1/3 legalized verbal assault. This place is super nice compared to some of the others I've seen.

To which you are contributing. Instead of talking about your XL, or anything interesting you have done with it, you have posted a long rant with awful formatting & spelling.

I totally agree, I wish you were able to monitor the forum and delete all the stupid repetitive posts.
