  1. Maverick production suspended today Friday (10/15) at Hermosillo Mexico plant on material shortage

    Any shutdown, weekends, holidays etc they back build , no one doesn't complete the work at their station. We always finished 3-4 cars back. No 1/2 done. Never saw a car missing parts get through.
  2. Poll - Do you have a Maverick, a VIN, or nothing yet?

    Ordered 9/4 Area 51 XLT Hybrid confirmed Dora nata nothing since.
  3. Ford Maverick vs Subaru Outback size and legroom compared

    Give me 40 acres & I'll turn this rig around lol
  4. Ford Maverick vs Subaru Outback size and legroom compared

    Lower the seat, I'm 6'5" & didn't bump my head. You'll bang your head against the wall when your Forester starts needing replacement parts. Look up ac dryer. $800 fuel pump $2300 & if you get the bonus blown head gaskets you'll really jump for joy.
  5. Ford Maverick vs Subaru Outback size and legroom compared

    I currently have a 17 Escape & the visibility is not good. My 10 Forester was great & I'm happy to say my test drive in a Maverick was excellent visibility. Another bonus for the Maverick.
  6. Saw some transport damage on Maverick on dealer lot

    Small dents etc are repaired at the factory everyday. There is light repair for lights leaks etc & heavy repair, brakes motor transmission. Yes they are still new & nobody is told.
  7. Hot Pepper Red question

    Thank you, super helpful
  8. Hot Pepper Red question

    I'm seriously considering changing the color of my build to Hot Pepper Red. The question is , has anybody seen one & did the blue shaded interior look horrible? The XL interior would just look more appropriate. Thoughts?
  9. EPA and Ford's process to getting EPA approval for Hybrid Maverick OKTB

    How many have went to buy an appliance only to hear that is a display, we can't sale that, BUT we have this model at $$$$ available now? A possible time line from Ford would really destress all hybrid orders
  10. Drive belt on the 2.5L engine

    In general a later intake valve opening bleeds some compression off. I struggle to understand why adding compression only to bleed it off works but it does. Valve overlap works the same.
  11. Drive belt on the 2.5L engine

    I have read the Atkinson version has a higher compression ratio. But a different camshaft profile as well. A late intake opening results in a smaller charge of air.Low torque engine without the help of the electric motor.
  12. Ugh, on the fence again with respect to color and trim.

    I'm on the edge of a color change. Love Area 51 but way too many picking it. I'm pondering velocity blue or chili pepper red.
  13. Soft paint? Rock chips after 400 miles

    My cousin had paint peel on his Ranger. Like a 99 or so. He painted Ford quality job none on it lol
  14. Had a verbal deal at MSRP, but dealer reneged and wants $5k over MSRP

    I will pay msrp if mine is ever built. I feel they priced it fairly & my trade is worth more ,at least now. That extra trade value is about the same as money off msrp. But if word hits of dealers trying that crap on orders, who will trust the ordering g process?
  15. Truth about Hybrid Maverick orders - not delayed says Maverick team

    I'm starting to think there is more to this than meets the eye. It's always easy to blame the nasty government. It may be chip but does anyone know if Ecsape production of hybrids goes on. An Escape hybrid (same drive train) sells for about 10k more. Just asking for a friend
  16. Had a verbal deal at MSRP, but dealer reneged and wants $5k over MSRP

    Start looking, they're are several dealers in my area Illinois that are selling stock at msrp. One crappy dealer is trying the 5k stuff. There has to be a few dealers closer to you that want to be in business after this shortage stuff is over. A year will pass pretty quickly. I'm putting my...
  17. Had a verbal deal at MSRP, but dealer reneged and wants $5k over MSRP

    If Ford watches with their heads in the sand, their idea of orders only getting full msrp no incentives etc goes in the dumpster. Plus if enough greedy dealers pull this Mavericks will start stacking up like cord wood. If this is the plan I'll keep driving my Escape with 48k on it until they're...
  18. Possible real scheduling reason

    Ford could choose to build specific optioned eb to get faster easier sales. The real point is we are salivating to pay msrp, when 1 year ago no one would even consider that. I've bought cars as much as 20% below msrp. But I suppose most saved at least 5-10%. Now I'm not even blinking at msrp...
