Good logic here. The ICE Mav will likely get built within 8 months and serve your needs well....the Hybrid: better than 50/50 no build at all and no real advantage for your needs and driving experience.
VERY pleased to hear all your positive real world comments concerning the driveability and comfort of your new Mav. I am certainly hoping to, someday, feel the same wonderful emotions when my hybrid XLT "ship" comes in....
The XL, it seems, has become an even better value relative to the XLT for 2023. They definitely upgraded the XL seat appearance. Why did Ford make the XL better and then massively restrict its availability?
Perhaps Ford is now telling the dealers they CAN change the drivetrain away from hybrid to help ensure a customer can get his 2023...rather than waiting until fail to build notice months down the road....If the OP really wants to wait on hybrid his dealer is willing to make him a priority for a...
Certainly looks that way now that the Build and Price site is up and running. Seats are disappointing to me..do not look like an upgrade at all........
I have a bad feeling the door handles with BAP will not be painted..just std like an XL or XLT. Also the BAP seats in XLT trim look like they were just lifted from the 22' XL? I was hoping the BAP black seats would look a little richer and distinctive...doesn't look to be the case?
Also, if you place an XLT with Lux and with BAP it shows the mirror caps changing to body color..so no one really knows how they would actually build it.......
Hmmm, the price protection information also has a 2016 Ford photo. Can we be sure this is still in effect as stated? I had one dealer state there is no price protection while another said they always have it....
If you like moonroofs you should get it. Certainly enhances ventilation options and adds light to your interior. Next best thing to a convertible. Headroom is said to be no problem...many reviews.
Some dealers are making customers sign a document that final sale price is current MSRP at time of delivery. Effectively, if price protected, they are profiting the difference between price protection and and price increases before delivery....It becomes an additional mark-up.
Another...
We have to realize Ford cannot get the components to build more hybrids...that is why they are constrained to 30 plus percent of the 2023 production. In my opinion, the bank closed because of the way excessive number of orders for the hybrid...around 80 percent of the customer orders! Once they...
Yup, the 18" Black wheels will be a nice add to an XLT and hopefully the black fabric seats will look great also...I am not so sure about the black interior bits along with the blue..not great. The exterior black out should be a plus also..
Someday Ford will show us the full interior/exterior...
