Your dealer is a moron. You will either need to drop the 4K package or upgrade to AWD. Ford has stated that they will rebate the upgrade cost for existing orders, so I would go that way. Call 1-800-334-4375 (Ford Maverick team). Have your dealer and order code ready. If you don't have that...
With the exception of ordering two through Military Auto Sales, this is the first vehicle I ordered to spec. In the past, I just cruised the lots (usually near end-of-year markdowns) and found what I wanted (or as close as I could get) at substantial markdowns since they were trying to clear...
Charts are only as good as the data entered. Since all data was user entered, and not-verified in any way, the data is bad. It was just a fun excercise to kill time while we all waited for our build/delivery dates and to try and see how our build stacked against the others.
Your dealer making all priority codes 10 is no different than making them all 19. This priority only applies to that dealer and in what order ford looks at their pending orders. All other things being equal, parts available, etc, that dealers orders will be pulled by date ordered since their...
You can run your own credit report for all 3 major agencies (and at least 2 minor ones - one deals with utility reporting, I think the other is strictly medical reporting) for free right now (beyond the ususal 1 time per year. As COVID winds down, it may revert back to just once a year here...
Ford's exact ranges may differ slightly, but here it is in a nutshell:
TIer 1 is a credit rating (above 720 - 850) Best interest rate.
Tier 2 is 660-719 Reasonable interest rate
Tier 3 is 620-659 You're not gonna like the terms
TIer 4 is 300 - 619 You're getting screwed on the interest rate...
One of the points of a hybrid is to only run the engine when you need it for power/speed/charging. I have a 2021 Sienna hybrid and if it wasn't for the graphic on the center DIC, I wouldn't know when the engine was running or not unless I stomp on the gas pedal (in which case I can hear the...
Just did my first fill-up while I was across the river in Missouri (where gas is about $.25 cheaper per gallon). 40.5 mpg compared to ~18mpg with the big truck.
Pretty sure I was one of the early cases. About a week after attending the very crowded St Louis Auto Show (Jan 2020), I had fairly severe somach issues for about a month, month and a half, including becoming lactose intolerant. About the same time, my Nieces family that I spend a significant...
Just bought a 2021 Toyota Sienna XSE two weeks ago. While it's been quite a change from the Silverado 4x4, so far I like it. Went 200 miles before the gas gauge even moved. I'm at ~300 miles now and gauge shows 3/4 tank still. Can't complain about that.
