I'm working under the assumption that if Ford rated for 2000# it is probably capable of pulling 2500-2750#s before the legal dept reminds them not to go overboard. European vehicles are often rated for higher towing capabilities than there identical American counterparts. I have a 1700# camper...

I suggest searching dealerrater.com. Looks like Five Star Ford is the "best" in the area.

I would assume that online orders are essentially pushed through a dealership. Ford is not legally allowed to sell vehicles direct to consumer. That being said, I think it is always is FCFS; unless you order a trim package that suffers from some sort of delay.

Always treat them as 2 separate transactions. 1) You are buying car from them. 2) You are selling them a car. Sales folk always ask if you are trading something in up front. I always tell them that I have not decided and will make that decision after I decide if I'm purchasing a new vehicle.

How do you really feel??? ;)

They didn't name him "Old Ranchero" because he'd take a back seat to an El Camino or worse...a GMC Sprint! ;)

Ranger sales were around 100,000 units in 2020. "If" it went on sale in August...I will say 40000 through year end and 85000 in first 12 months. I would guess sales could climb in years 2 and 3 if Americans are convinced that a non "frame-on-rail" truck can still be a truck.

These were taken a few miles from my house in mid-Michigan. I'm pi$$ed I didn't see it. I would have loved to talk to the driver. Of course with the number of #$%@ knuckleheads spreading COVID in my fair state...he or she would have probably ran from me like I had the plague.

Pretty inconsistent speculation. "...according to the source of this information, Ford isn’t sure about the Mavericks chances of success." " Interestingly enough, Ford is apparently looking to build 100,000 examples of the Maverick in the first year of production..." I'm going on record as...

Freudian Gilt is the single greatest paint color name EVER...

I agree. The chances are slim that the Maverick will weigh 3700#. The Ridgeline is near 4500#.

Thanks for reply...that was kind of what I was thinking. I'll be happy if it matches my Escape's 3500# max.

Are the components in the Ford towing package fairly standard across their line-up? IE...hitch, 7 blade connector, etc? Most importantly...will the Maverick have a tranny cooler standard or will that be part of towing package?

These guys...

There are not. It is more expensive to manufacture and install the cranking mechanism than it is to use the cheap motor.

That would be the smart play....

Great advice...particularly when I got nothing but time to do it.

I would think that dealer is creating a potential headache for themselves. Sure...there are potential sales but there are also potential pi$$ed off customers when the information they have provided proves to be inaccurate. Also...I'd think Dearborn would be a bit miffed at them "spoiling"...
