Something doesn't look right on your VIN and order date. The NRB indicates that you are over 100k in ordering. I don't believe they had that many orders by October 2021. My VIN in comparison is NRA 97xxx and I ordered 2 months after you in mid Dec 2021.

my only order was for my Maverick.

Only Hybrids affected by any of this, right?

I believe many of current Toyota USA models are actually built in USA, and don't have to deal with issues getting parts to, and shipping from Mexico. Another thing is Toyota had stocked up on (or had early contracts for) many of the parts for the USA models that were established already. Saw...

I used to live in CA and they have signs all over the freeways telling drivers involved in minor accidents to move safely to shoulder or center divide to exchange INS information on your own and not call 911. Seen that in a couple other states I have passed through as well. Common sense should...

Pretty sure "preorder" just means they put you on their call back list so they have your personal info to contact you when they get a turned down retail order and want to sell with huge ADM if they can talk you into it. I'm sure MANY dealers still have MANY people that didn't get 2023 orders in...

wasn't the FITS gear a small bonus just for people that ordered hybrids early and had to wait an extra couple months to ship because of the MPG rating delay in OKTB- instead of a blanket handout for everyone?

"Ford" never over promised or underdelivered anything. Unscrupulous salespeople? Maybe, but not the company itself. Growing pains are the rule, not the exception in new vehicle launches. Seen a production Cybertruck yet?

probably no set standards countrywide on that. You've probably seen those city street takeovers where street racers & spectators block off a couple city blocks late at night and have drags and burnout contests, etc.? I've seen TV reports on police cracking down on those and inspecting and even...

in what context? Street racing? They need Probable Cause to pull you over for anything and can't just go popping your hood without you giving them permission. I believe the K&N style open air filters are legal in most/many states. I was certified as a Smog Technician for the state and that is...

pretty sure they are contracted exclusively for Ford products in this case..

there's plenty of discussions in these forums already about how Ford chose to do it the way they did. No need to start another thread on it. Search is your friend.

You mentioned rotating and balancing tires- what made you suspect that could be an issue on a new truck? I can't tell for sure, but your avatar picture looks like it has oversized wheels? Another might be bad gas? You didn't say how many miles you have on it, but like others mentioned the...

Have you noticed California has banned sales of gasoline powered cars starting in 2035 and other states have announced they will do the same? And Federal gov't is pushing adoption of EVs as well as many European nations? Hybrids will be the next lowest hanging fruit they will go after as they...

I don't have my Maverick yet to verify, but I seriously doubt that it has a deep cycle battery. I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere and in fact it is commonly advised NOT to use them in place of your automobile starting battery. They are intended for marine and RV use where they are regularly...

That is actually a Training Vehicle that I saw and checked over Sept 28, 2021 at my local Ford dealership. Sat in on the presentation the Trainer gave to sales staff too. Funny part was it seemed like I knew about the Maverick than anybody in the room ;)

Maverick ECOboost engine compartment. Looks pretty crowded to me.

What's a "Yooper"? Is that another name for Bay City Roller fans? :LOL:

no reason for anybody to beat themselves up for "paying xxxx over MSRP". A lot of people are cross shopping more expensive CUVs and midsize trucks before they settle on a Maverick, so the whole thing of paying more than SUGGESTED price when it's less than they would have paid for the other...

because I want what I want- not what somebody else thinks I should want! I'm early retired and still active with outdoor sports and choose vehicles that appeal to me and best fit my many needs with fewest compromises. Average 5 miles driving per day, vehicles are all low mileage and well...
