Hello folks. Standard disclaimer that I did search first. Did not see much activity on this topic.
Do the Mavericks get a railcar number change once they hit the border? Or do they keep the same for the entire trip? I have what I think is a BNSF railcar number (based on the prefix being...
Ooooooooooooook. So after over a year of seeing people ask what a DORA actually looks like, and folks (me included, posting the next best thing, and order preview page as a sorry substitute), I figured I might as well post my actual DORA for a 2023 Maverick. Most of the Google image examples I...
Forgive my ignorance. Bought some rims for snow tires. Seemed to be pretty generic stock steel rims. Advertised as great for stock wheel replacement, etc..... Rims/wheels are labeled as lugcentric/ centered by the studs, not the center bore. "Black RTX Steel Rim. Diameter: 17in, width: 7in...
Bummer. Had my first "We don't have that model in our system yet" problem.
Went to Les Schwab (chain of tire centers in the West/SouthWest) to see if they could mount my snow tires on the new rims I bought. Purchased both somewhere else, but needed them mounted. Of course they were happy to...
I'm seeing mixed answers online. Starting to second guess myself.
Anyone have an opinion on if the stock 7 inch wide rims will work ok with 245/65/R17 falken wildpeak AT Trail? Most sellers of the tire itself say 7 inch is fine, but the lowest end of fine. But when I google things like...
This is a new one for me. I don't think I have seen anyone else say they have been given a 2 month (or even more) ETA after the assigned production week. PLENTY of folks who ended up waiting that long or longer due to chip holds and rail delays and such that were "unforeseen". But I don't...
I got to thinking about FordPass Points and how many people talk about saving them for some future purpose. Buying an extended warranty sometime closer to when the 3 year expires, dealer supplied oil change after 10k miles, etc.... I wondered if the points expire. They do! Just a heads up to...
Hello folks. If anyone in Western WA upgrades their wheels and wants to sell their stock steelies, let me know. Don't need the tires, but could negotiate if you needed to offload your stock tires as well.
Hello folks. Yes, I am one of those mid-January orders. And yes, it seems I will be built in October. Sorry but not sorry.
I'm trying to find out if anyone can remind me what the Ford Finance Deals/Interest rates were for January 2022. I found a couple threads on here from January that...
Hello folks. This might be oddly specific, but I am trying to figure out where things rub when it comes to the "Largest tire without rubbing" question.
Does anyone know if the rubbing when using a tire larger than 255/65-17 is due to height of tire, or is is due to width of tire? Do we rub...
Hello folks. After seeing how popular the Chapman and Granger threads were for 2022, figured I would see if I could get a Long McArthur 2023 orders thread started so we can all commiserate while we wait! Feel free to post your order details here and maybe we can eventually do some data...
Really fun email with a dealer today. I was asking about getting on their "list" for when 2023 ordering opens up in August. Got them to confirm no ADMs or mandatory dealer installed options on custom orders, but also got this gem of a reply related to what MSRP even would be.
"Sometimes...
Figure the best time to buy some winter tire chains is not in the Winter when they are in high demand. Someone point me at some quality chains that will fit on the stock XL Maverick tires. AWD if that matters. Pacific Northwest if it matters. Won't need them for months at a time, but may...
