Might need to find a different dealer... got my email from Ford before I got home from the dealer. My daughter and son-in-law went to a different local dealer a few days later, who gave them the runaround saying their "PDF didn't work", even after meeting in person to place the order. It was a...

The 2.0 AWD FX4 should net me close to 30mpg highway or better, which is WAY better than anything I have in my garage today. The wife's QX80 gets 15.7 no matter what. My Ram 1500 Hemi with 4" lift and 35s gets about 12 highway (but 15+ around town), and the 4Runner is 17-19. We have rented...

I was questioning the similarity between FX4 and 4K tow packages in earlier threads, and finally went back to the dealer Friday and changed my order to include both. The FX4 fits 95% of my needs, but I have this funny feeling that the 4K tow is going to be a "bucket list" item if I ever go to...

Full size spare will most likely be a steel wheel and tire from the XL standard issue. No way they are giving a nice black aluminum wheel and AT tire that matches my FX4 for only $115.

Lariat signature lighting is like a DRL, an LED brow over the headlight, as seen in some of the pics. Great conversation here... the one thing I have not seen mentioned is lack of HomeLink, regardless of trim level. This and a heated steering wheel are my big wants. XLT Luxury gives me most...

Mine is 19

I took my driver test almost 40 years ago in my Dad’s 1981 Nissan regular cab and later owned a 1988 Isuzu Reg cab I bought new after college. I’ve always had a truck, mostly Chevy or GMC until 2013, when I switched to Ram. I have a lifted Ram 1500 and my wife drives the big Infiniti QX, so we...

Thank you for posting this. Do we know what is included if no full size spare? Is it a temp spare or no spare at all?

The 4K tow package offers a trans cooler and 7 pin wiring as the only difference from the FX4 package. Ford is double dipping on the option packages. While I’d like to have the 4K rating, I don’t plan to tow that much weight with it unless I part with my Ram at some point. Unless towing...

Ordered my XLT FX4 Luxury a week ago and my son in law ordered an XL hybrid today from a different dealer Their dealer couldn’t find the order entry yet so they still do not have the confirmation from Ford.

I was hoping for proximity key access and push button start without having to go to the Lariat Luxury package. XLT Luxury suits my needs otherwise for $4k less. The folks that have seen them in person speak very highly of the XLT "unique cloth" interior, even favor it above the brown vinyl in...

Could see Mavs hitting dealer lots around September 1 for customer orders. My company used Donlen for fleet purchasing and they get them delivered quickly after coming off the line. In many cases, the unit arrived at the dealer and they could not deliver to the customer until titling paperwork...

I find myself being a little more generous with restaurant tips over the past year and I think car dealers are in a similar hardship. These dealerships cost millions to own and operate even in the best of times. Yes, they make money on service and will get whatever they can for new or used...

I did some math on it before and my XLT FX4 Luxury build with an MSRP of $30,940 would invoice at around $30,300. 3% under invoice would be maybe $1500 off MSRP. Dealer had $1000 incentive they can apply to my deal and gets me under my target price of $30k. In this environment, dealers are...

I don’t see anywhere that the Maverick has Homelink available on any package. This, proximity key entry and push button start are unfortunate misses. I’ll still buy and use an obsolete keyed ignition if I must, but may retrofit Homelink in somewhere like I did in my Jeep.

Got mine ordered today. Took about 20 minutes and no deposit. He said there was dealer cash available if ordered by 4:00 today, which they are applying to my deal. XLT 2.0 FX4 AWD w/ XLT Luxury Pkg and Ford 360 in Area 51. Dealers here are selling the Bronco Sports on the lot for MSRP plus...

The orange accents are subtle enough that I can live with it. I have always enjoyed cloth seats as much or more than leather. And the Lariat is not real leather. My 4RUNNER SR5 premium has their “Softex” vinyl which has proven comfortable and durable, so leather is more of a smell and may not...

You could certainly get away with the hybrid and enjoy the fuel economy on a more regular basis than needing the AWD, and pay less for it up front as well. I have a Ram 1500 Hemi with 4” lift and 35s, so the 2.0T and AWD is going to be a huge improvement vs the 12-13 I get on the hilly 80mph...

Anyone else looking at these 2 options and think they are redundant? Both have trailer hitch, and upgraded radiator and cooling fan. Both are available together, so feels like it should be discounted. I definitely want the FX4 equipment , and wondering if the 4K tow is worth another $800 for...

Ford is forcing us to choose between MPG and utility, so resale value will be a consideration. The hybrid is most likely going to be the choice for fleet buyers, but outdoorsy types and tough winter weather locations will seek the gas with AWD.
