  1. Dealership "Interviewing"

    I'm probably starting too early (going for a 2023), but has anyone else been phoning around tracking which dealerships are asking what for Maverick orders? And saving a doc with the results of those calls and the name of who you spoke to? Or am I just way too OCD about this?
  2. Auto Stop/Start Not Working

    So, I might've missed this, but have you checked the alternator and regulator? Or just the alternator if it's self- regulated? I've had enough problems with my mom's old '73 F-100 that the alternator and regulator are the first thing to check when it's not charging. Yes, I know they're...
  3. Trailer Hitch Constrained?

    Does anyone know if the trailer hitch and 4-pin are still constrained on non-4k Mavericks? I sort of remember there being an availability issue, but that was the last I'd heard of it.
  4. Disabling chime for trailer light

    Depends on where you're at when it burns out. There's some parts where it's literally 200 miles of absolute nothing except you and the antelope.
  5. Higher gas prices vs. spending thousands of $$ on a new car

    In my case, it's a matter of sunk costs. When my Colorado got smashed a bit over a year and a half ago, I needed something quick that I thought I could pull a small camper with. The used Jeep I got, needed about $5k worth of repairs at the time, and another $12k to get to where it could reliably...
  6. "Limited Dealer Allocation" and preorder fees, for 2023?

    Not my dealer. I don't have one yet. Probably should find one, though...?
  7. "Limited Dealer Allocation" and preorder fees, for 2023?

    So, a couple of FB groups keep having posts of dealerships charging $100 for a pre- order slot for Mavericks. When I called one of the people who paid it out, they said the dealerships were only getting "80 to 100" allocations for Maverick orders and something to the effect of them only entering...
  8. Ford gives Maverick official slogan: "MAKE IT WITH MAVERICK"

    Yeah, and if Apple was still using its '90s business model and marketing solely based on PowerPC benchmarks relative to Intel (and if Intel hadn't started cheating by cramming multiple CPUs onto a single die), it would've probably died with BeOS about the same time Windows XP came out. Or more...
  9. Lettering on the Maverick stamp on the tailgate

    How rigid are the raised ones? My concern with vinyl is not getting them in the right spot. Also, has anyone seen a set of super- reflective red ones? I've driven past the one in my neighborhood a few times at night, and I'd like a bit more reflectiveness when I finally get mine.
  10. Seems a bit odd, wonder if it means no electric Maverick

    Got a better source? Google only showed a few sources on it and none of them were familiar to me.
  11. Deep Sleep- Recall/Permanent Fix?

    From reading on here a lot, the Deep Sleep issue is caused by a wiring harness issue between the high voltage battery and the 12v battery. Something to do with the 12v battery not getting charged. Is there a recall on it, or did anyone ever get a permanent fix worked out? I sort of remember one...
  12. What are you putting off until you get your Maverick?

    Haven't even been able to order mine yet, so I can't justify putting anything off.
  13. Auto stop start surprise

    It probably thinks you're going to be making a turn and will need a faster response time. At least that's the rationale I've seen in other threads.
  14. HTX Mavericks

    A blue one just moved into the neighborhood, a few blocks away from me. So I can now see one in person every day. Think it's an XL since it's got steelies.
  15. Get rid of run stop once and for all

    I've heard talk that plugging in a pass- thru trailer light tester into the trailer plug will get the job done. I think there's also a plug- in chip that'll do it as well.
  16. "Cute" "Little" truck?

    Well, I find it kinda cute... Not sure I'm going to have one painted Kaiser Indian Ceramic though. I might be the wrong kind of cute.
  17. Emergency Braking Experience?

    What's the clamp/unclamp time on the electric e-brake?
  18. Front License Plate or No Front License Plate?

    Never had a problem with a front plate. And TBH it's not *that* hard to design a front bumper for a front plate. I guess car designers' refusal says more about them than whether or not a state requires it- they absolutely cannot have their design tarnished in any way by putting in an extra bracket.
  19. Houston-Galveston Area Good Dealers

    Anyone had a good experience with Houston/Galveston dealers? Especially ones that don't charge ADM or add "protection packages." Especially when the order banks open back up in August. I'd rather not have to make reservations at five or six dealerships hoping to get a good one.
  20. 15% Ethanol Fuel? [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    You missed the part earlier on where I pointed out how the people who really set oil prices are the guys at the commodities exchange, and how gas prices are based on that but still pretty arbitrary. And like stock prices, commodities prices can be really volatile depending on the news. For...
