I did take pics because my mom wanted proof.
Yes, it took driving under the speed limit by five up hills when folks weren't behind me, something I'm willing to do. I'm not in a hurry.
I filled up for the first time at 13.419 gallons. $37.56 (with fuel points). 648.8 miles since I pulled it off the lot with a full tank. That's 48.3 mpg. My truck currently says 614 miles to empty after a 2 mile drive from the station, but it's been going up, not down...
So I don't care about...
True enough! Currently my bed doesn't even have a liner. I'm going to get something at some point, though. I'm also going to tint the heck out of my windows, like we're talking limo, plus a strip on the windshield. Will post pics of that when completed.
I also declined all my dealer add-ons. They automatically put almost $1,800 worth on there, plus some Ford maintenance plan thing that was a rip-off for $600. Salesman was a great honest guy, but on this, he did push back and told me that's standard and "most people on the road have those...
I had a great experience with my dealer. The salesman was young (21, fresh out of college), they made me do a $1,000 deposit, which they later applied to the MSRP when I took delivery, and all around they were honest folks. I was in and out in fifty minutes when I took delivery the day it rolled...
I considered spending extra money on accessories and ended up deciding against it. Despite being blessed this year, I've always hated spending money.
This thread is making me regret not at least getting the rear cover.
Love this. I low-key want to convince my Sheriff to let me install blues on mine, but the wife won't have it. :ROFLMAO: Not sure he would, either. But the Sheriff's Office next door to mine has a couple of unmarked Area 51 '22s. Not sure what application they use them for. I have a large...
Wonderful! I have the exact truck, except in Atlas Blue. Similar order date/delivery date. I second everything you said. I've gotten the overall MPG up to 51.1 mpg as of now, with some of the smaller trips being 100% electric. I'm highly satisfied, and the bed is roomier than it looks!
Thanks, y'all!
Blue was my favorite color before this profession, but it does fit nicely, yes? :)
And absolutely! Favorite part of the job is making the public happy and making folks feel safe, protected, and served well.
I'm very glad to have gotten it early. I have been lurking on this site for some time without an account, and seeing folks waiting so long was discouraging. I'm not sure what all goes into who gets what when. :P Hopefully you get it soon!

Hello, I ordered a 2023 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid in Atlas Blue on September 19, 2022. It arrived January 9, 2023, way earlier than expected! You may find the photo below. I joined this forum because I usually join forum groups of things I'm excited about.
I'm excited because this is my...
