Look what Ford sent me

[Spike]

I've been bugging my dealer for my recall for a bit now and just got the go-ahead letter last week. That's a darn nice tumbler...I wonder if those are randomly sent?

I had no idea what came in the mail today until I opened the box.

Ford sent me something today as well - my new Lariat Hybrid, but I had to pay for it LOL. Glad you got something free. I bet it WILL fit. Most of them are standard size and they all fit just fine.

These days, I would suspect a glitter bomb....

Glitter in the eye can be no joke. Square-edged glitter can cut your eye and cause an infection that can make you lose an eye. There was a story of a poor girl to whom that happened. Watch out.

Out of context of the previous quote, your typo is humorous and potentially not appropriate for a family forum...

oops.

I bought a Lincoln in 2001 and they sent a set of crystal champane glasses. Looks like their budget has gone down since. Now I can't get them to talk to me.

I got one about 2 weeks after I took my 2022 Maverick in for the airbag recall.

That's the "standard" gift thanking you for your patience getting the air bag recall done... And it fits just great in the console cup-holders, but not in the doors. Sigh.

On the plus side, it keeps stuff cold (or hot) for a VERY long time!

The doors were supposed to be uniquely designed. I think the unique was that nothing will fit in them. My non spill mugs and cups won’t fit I can’t even put my ice scraper in there without worrying about it falling out when I open the door and if I do put it in the door it rattles like crazy. Why didn’t Ford just leave well enough alone. All my things fit nicely in my F150 door. Work gloves, mugs, ice scraper, maps it fit and stayed. The ones in the Maverick are worthless. I’d love to give Ford some interior design tips. One thing I liked that Ford did on a few models was the extra glove box on top of dash like the 2008-2009 Taurus. Perfect place for paperwork, road maps, handiwipes and such. I could actually get to them without leaning all the way to passenger side or digging around in the bottomless pit of the center console.

I got mine in the mail a couple weeks after bringing my Mav into the dealership for the air bag recall. It's the first water bottle I've found that actually fits snugly into the door pockets!l Does it compensate for having to wait 13 months for my new Maverick? Not really. But it's something!

I think the difference is target demographic in Maverick. Ford wanted Maverick to be functional for city dwellers and young people as well, who rarely carry stuff like maps and work gloves, but likely always have a water bottle on them.

I got my recall done a couple weeks ago, and I haven't received anything yet...would be a nice suprise to get one in the mail, but I'm not going to hold my breath

Wait, the freely distributed tall custom Yeti Tumbler Water Bottles with the Maverick title emblazed upon them, don't fit the special Water Bottle holders of the Maverick doors?

Can't be... you've got to be pulling our leg?
