Hello folks;
My Maverick was built 10/5 but I decided to cancel as we've decided to go down to one vehicle for the winter as my wife and I both work from home. We put hardly any miles on our second vehicle, a lease, and that is money out the door. We wouldn't be using it much at all until May...
Hey all. We've seen the "national" (read "US") constraints for thing like Tonneau Covers. In Canada, apparently they are a dealer install, which should remove the manufacturing constraint.
Has anyone seen a constraint list for Canadian orders?
My dealer sent me a VIN today. No build date, because I don't know why. Canadian order. Is there a way to get the whole future build info from the VIN?
Canadians, heads up. Ford Canada doesn't confirm by email the same way Ford does in the US.
That order form you got from the dealer? That's it. You can confirm the sale on the Ford side by calling 18005653673 and giving them your sales code and order code. Mine was confirmed as ordered on the...
Price negotiated. Order is in. Compromises settled. Now, wait.
I extended my lease with a very nice lad at Toyota Credit Canada, who was happy to tack on three months at the existing rate. Apparently, I'm not alone, one poor sod ordered a Ford Bronco and after the maximum three-month...
The 2022 Ford Maverick debuted earlier this month, and early indicators suggest that Ford could have a smash hit on its hands. The compact pickup comes packed with neat features, the latest tech, and an affordable price tag, which has helped the all-new model rack up 36,000 reservations so far...
My biggest worry is interior size. I'm a big guy, 6'3" 275 lbs, although it's funny which cars fit me and which cars don't. One of the best cars in terms of driver fit was a friggin' Nissan Versa, of all things. So I did a little chart that compared the interior dimensions compared to a Honda...
There is a little cubby next to the infotainment system. It's likely an artifact of not being able to source a widescreen panel for this model year. Oh well.
In my youth, when I drove a cab, every taxi had a "shrine", a little bit of dash reserved for a saint, a prophet, a hockey card, or a...
I've contacted four Canadian dealers I've got the following:
1. "There is no such thing as a Ford Maverick"
2. "Call us in 2022."
3. "Let me get back to you on that."
4. "Uh, Ford sent us a sales sheet on that and we don't understand it."
5. "Go to the Ford website." "The website directs me to...
So, is this coming to the Maverick too?
Off-road traction
More than traction control, new AWD systems are getting very good at optimizing traction. Take for example the Bronco Sports optional AWD system. Supplied by DANA, it’s an on-demand AWD system. The Bronco Sport with this system uses a...
The mid-range AWD version will sell like hotcakes in Canada if they can get it at the $30K CAD ($25 K USD) price point. Old Ford Rangers are still very popular here amongst tradesmen, especially painters, just for the ease of parking in urban neighbourhoods and client driveways.I suspect AWD...
