  1. Got pulled over because of Bully hitch step

    I think this is one of those things where you have to decide how important is this to you. You can leave it and risk the cops going on a power trip and maybe fighting it in court, or take it off and use something else. In principle, fighting them is what to do, but practically, taking it off may...
  2. A buck will fit in bed

    .....I'll I can think of when I see this is "Tywin Lannister was here"
  3. This is what’s in store for EV owners [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    ooohhhh no! There's a supply/demand imbalance. That means this thing is stupid.
  4. This is hilarious

    Needs truck nuts for that cherry on top.
  5. Barron's has a article that mentions the Maverick....or does it?

    So Barron's has an article Here on Toyota raising wages for workers ( paywalled, unfortunately, but just hit that stop button on your browser when loading and you have a shot). The article talks about some of the difficulties that other manufactures are having. Oddly (and from what I know...
  6. GM just shut down EV production

    ...they just announced a new EV model yesterday, sooooo, yeah, don't think so: https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2023/10/30/gms-equinox-ev-will-start-at-49000-and-get-over-300-miles-range/71386218007/
  7. 2024 Hybrids

    Given the new shifts they put on, the easing on supply chains, and the fact they didn't get slowed much by the strike, I'm optimistic it'll happen.
  8. interest rates causing slow down on sales?

    I have a 2024 XL Hybrid on order. I was really disappointed in the price increase for the model year, and doubly so for the extra hybrid since the price point had been the big attraction for me. Had I had to pay $500 more off the sticker prices, I likely would not have been able to buy now due...
  9. Ford Engine Failures

    SO, I apparently needed to be a bit clearer. I certainly understand you aren't using the same parts in Maverick engines as these engines. What I meant was that if you QA is bad enough to have a defect possibly happen in 4-5 models over the timeframe it did, I think its reasonable to bit...
  10. Ford Engine Failures

    NHTSB investigation Now, I am aware that this isn't the 2.0L Ecoboost in the Maverick that they are looking at, but considering how far beyond the Bronco this has gone,it will be interesting to see if the same quality issues drift over into the Maverick (knock on wood)
  11. Maverick Clean-up Scheduling This Week (10/5/23) for Production Weeks 11/6 - 11/27

    Just curious, when they say XL limited, is that due to scheduling slot scarcity, or is it generally more to do with the limited items they have?
  12. Thermal camera view of my Maverick's heated seats & steering wheel

    Hottest Maverick footage you can find :)
  13. 2023 Maverick Emissions Recall 23E09 (Air/Fuel Enrichment Calibration) - New Vehicle Delivery Hold

    Looks like someone didn't listen to QA.....or maybe just doesn't have QA/
  14. Texas school raffling off Maverick for perfect attendance

    Story here Now, the benevolent part of me thinks giving kids an incentive to do good is nice, and its cool a young person has this opportunity. The petty side of me is all "some kid gets his Mav while I'm in group 19!!" The practical side hopes they account for sick days. Kids coming to...
  15. Teamsters will honor UAW strike (No Deliveries)

    Haven't seen this an here,, but at least on paper, Mexican truckers can enter the US. Now that policy has seesawed all over the place from administration to administration , but I'd bet if Ford wants to get the product moved, they will figure out a way.
  16. Ran the numbers on miles it takes to "Break Even" with the higher price of the Hybrid Maverick 🙇🏻‍♂️💰

    Even with the price increase, it's still one of the vary few hybrids that comes in under 30K AFTER taxes. The Elantra and Corolla are in the same ballpark, but are still just standard 4 doors at the end of the day and lack the utility the Maverick does.
  17. Well this is new! (update after "in production")

    I got one as we, though mine isn't scheduled. Other than that particular point, it's word for word the same email. They must be trying something new as far as communication with the 2024 batch firing up.
  18. TRUCK IS GREAT - BEWARE OF PLANET FORD FINANCE PREDATORY PRACTICES

    " she quickly told us that Ford DOES NOT accept outside financing. " Wow, I've heard some whoppers, but that takes the cake. I was looking at Planet Ford when I was on a Don Quixote style quest for a Maverick out of state, and I'm not sure why, but the sheer size of their network put me off...
  19. Exceedingly Long Oversimplified Explanation of Maverick Order Allocations

    I don't think anyone is saying dealerships can't lobby, but quite a few of the things they have lobbied for are anti-competitive and anti-consumer. Restricting new car sales to franchised dealers rather than independent or corporate ones. Restricting the placement of same brand franchisees...
