  1. Issues with Tariffs, both Mexico AND Canada [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS ALREADY BANNED FOR IT]

    If Plan A fails, Plan B is to go to the pub and think of Plan C. I do a lot of Plan C thinking.
  2. Maverick price increases

    Prices to consumers will increase, just not by 25%. Even if the entire truck including components was manufactured in Mexico, cost does not equal retail price. Dealers have costs that have to be covered, there are transit costs, etc.
  3. Maverick price increases

    Vey droll.
  4. Issues with Tariffs, both Mexico AND Canada [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS ALREADY BANNED FOR IT]

    I don't know. Sort of weird to impose a tariff on imported parts only for those parts to be subsequently exported. A tariff is designed to protect domestic industry from foreign competition including dumping (which China does with steel).
  5. Issues with Tariffs, both Mexico AND Canada [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS ALREADY BANNED FOR IT]

    I'm not convinced this is true. Take as a counterfactual example the following scenario (made simple to illustrate the point). A Ford Maverick is 99.99% manufactured in the US (including parts and assembly) at a cost of $25,000 and shipped to Mexico. In Mexico the windshield wipers (.01%) are...
  6. Maverick price increases

    The tariff does not apply to MRSP.
  7. Issues with Tariffs, both Mexico AND Canada [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS ALREADY BANNED FOR IT]

    The tariff is 100% paid for by the US importer. The Canadian exporter cannot pay the tariff. All the Canadian exporter can do is either lower the price charged to the US importer ($100,000 reduced to say $87,500 in your example) or offer a rebate. Lumber mills are closing down or going...
  8. Issues with Tariffs, both Mexico AND Canada [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS ALREADY BANNED FOR IT]

    If Ford ships truck parts from the US to Mexico valued at $12,000 (on the US - Mexico Customs Declaration) and Mexico assembles the parts at a cost of $8,000, the tariff applies to the $8,000 and not the declared value of $20,000 ($12,000 + $8,000) from Mexico - US. Otherwise the tariff is...
  9. What's your "One" Pet Peeve

    I have a dog that is so annoying I named him Peeve. So he is my Pet Peeve. I'll get my coat...
  10. Issues with Tariffs, both Mexico AND Canada [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; MEMBERS ALREADY BANNED FOR IT]

    Economics 101 at the Wharton Business School tells you that the Balance of Payments consist of two entries (or Accounts): (1) The Current Account (Exports less Imports); and (2) the Capital Account (Capital Inflows less Capital Outflows). Under a floating Exchange Rate (which operates between...
  11. Manual for 2025.Thats it?

    The main advantage of a digital document (as long as it's in a common format such as PDF) is that it is searchable. I have a printed hardcopy manual with my 24 Tremor and it is crap.
  12. Aftermarket gas tank upgrade -- is it an option?

    Adrienne Barbeau has a lovely pair of gas tanks...
  13. "Poundcake" 2024 Lariat Tremor

    Are you sure it's your wife's truck. Heck of a lot of mods. Don't get me wrong. I love my wife but may be not enough to drop a small fortune on her.
  14. Sound difference with intake in mud/rut mode?

    Pure Muzak. Totally naff.
  15. 2025 MAVERICK OWNER.

    My advice would be to park the truck in your garage and don't drive it if you: Don't want to get a cracked windshield. Don't want chipped paint. Don't want to get rear-ended and have a complete write-off. Hear a weird sewing machine noise when you start the engine. Try to change the windshield...
  16. New 25 % tariff on mavericks on 02/25 [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS; INFRACTIONS GIVEN]

    So you are not interested in Tom Selleck Reverse Mortgage to keep you in the home you love...
  17. Deal or No Deal?

    If it doesn't come with a trailer hitch and 4-Pin Connector, I'd pass. Not worth the hassle to add these after market.
