  1. Final 2022 VINs by Close of Business 9/8. Reorder Banks Open 9/15. New Order Banks Open 9/30.

    Seriously, the tow hitch?? Omg. I grew up in Pittsburgh, with steel plants making the air bad -- I thought orange horizons on clear days was normal. Things have sure changed, although when I visit there I do appreciate the better air and the many great craft beer breweries and such in former...
  2. What is the age demographic of most buyers?

    58 and female here. Disclaimer: I have hugged a tree. But not a soccer mom. My hoped-for Maverick will partly be used in volunteering to help restore American chestnut trees, actually... Plus it will fit in my garage and not get covered in ice and snow for half the year! (Partly responding to...
  3. Can you spot the Maverick in the photo?

    Only if it's an XL. Lariat shadows go for $45K.
  4. MY22 Order Honesty?

    My area (New England) has a number of Mavericks for sale around that price, with some Lariats pushing $50K. My dealer, with a straight face, said that his place "has to" charge that much due to low overall inventory and sales.
  5. 600 Miles Per Tank Hybrid Maverick club

    How much effect does speed have on mpg? Anyone have a sense what mpg a hybrid will get at 65 mph? --still waiting for my November order
  6. Ford CEO Responds to Price Markups

    A lot of those jobs were manufacturing, steel industry and such. I grew up in Pittsburgh during the time that U.S. Steel was moving mills to other countries. Dealers are a tiny number of people compared to what U.S. manufacturing used to be, sadly. Industries are always evolving, it's hard on...
  7. MY22 Order Honesty?

    So, if Maverick-less '22 hybrid order customers put the '23 order through in September, any thoughts on how many months until delivery? Would we actually be at the top of a '23 hybrid list? Next question... will the list actually be done in order, unlike this last year? Thanks for any...
  8. 📬 New "we're sorry" delay email from Ford -- July 14, 2022

    Why do some people get emails and others get none? Ford doesn't love me! (sob) Aside from jokes, if they relied upon their customer database management skills to make money, they'd be worse than bankrupt.
  9. Maverick Lightning and Ranger Lightning trademarked as Ford's new electric EV trucks

    "Long distance" means means different things in different states sometimes. Here in Rhode Island, it seems to mean more than 15 minutes away! :) It's densely populated overall even though we have some farms, so people needing pickups have loads of work to do where a lightning 150 would be...
  10. Maverick Lightning and Ranger Lightning trademarked as Ford's new electric EV trucks

    The power infrastructure in lots of places is really frail, it's scary. We have some solar panels with net metering so charging in the day is not bad in the summer here. I'd love one of those "home batteries" but $$$. The Ford Lightning can sort of double as a home battery though! I wonder if...
  11. Maverick Lightning and Ranger Lightning trademarked as Ford's new electric EV trucks

    Interesting! -- they have talked a lot about more EVs though, not increasing diesels, and diesel fuel prices are way up. Plus the 150 Lightning is selling like hotcakes. I wouldn't mind an EV Maverick if it had good range, since EVs have more internal space leftover for storage than hybrids. I...
  12. This is the e-mail coming at 3PM today (6/29) to unscheduled order holders

    OMG you are so optimistic, have you considered writing a self-help book? Lots of money in those I think. Suggested title: "What I learned about optimism from my decade on the Ford Maverick Wait List"...
  13. This is the e-mail coming at 3PM today (6/29) to unscheduled order holders

    I must be too low on their list to even bother sending this email to. They handle a waiting list so poorly, what is going to happen to Maverick owners who need first-year bugs fixed? I love the idea of this truck but not from a company that's proving this unreliable at the moment. I know they...
  14. FORD CANCELLED MY MAVERICK ORDER!!! - (Ford Customer Service Transcript Attached)

    My order is valid, not sure that the original poster's was. Ford confirmed my order last November and sent a cryptic message about delays in April. But...The original poster got this message about cancellation -- I suspect I'll get one soon!
  15. FORD CANCELLED MY MAVERICK ORDER!!! - (Ford Customer Service Transcript Attached)

    I'm really sorry... However not only is Ford bad at managing backlogs, they apparently cannot craft an understandable email either!!!
  16. Some 22MY Mavericks may get pushed to MY23

    Happy Birthday? We could get ourselves some Matchbox pickups...
  17. Some 22MY Mavericks may get pushed to MY23

    Happy Birthday? Let's get ourselves some Matchbox trucks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275354293459?hash=item401c6514d3:g:vNsAAOSw8uJirhnU
  18. Hybrid Orders Still Unscheduled

    November. Really early in November... One "constraint", hybrid with the Co-Pilot 360; removed another constraint. But no news anyhow.
