So I recently switch from the stand-alone hitch to the LUX package. I really want a hitch and was under the impression there was no way to get the wiring harness after-market that was Ford-approved. But after talking to someone on Facebook I found a wiring harness for the ford maverick on the...

A lot of us assumed the same. Which I think was the problem. I would have preferred to save the cash but I will totally enjoy the heated seats. Steph

The factor stand-alone hitch one of the items most contained and will keep your truck from getting built. The packages (XLT LUX) are less contained and so you will hopefully get your truck faster but they still include the hitch.

Adding a after-market hitch does not include the wiring harness. So if you don't need that then yea you can add just a hitch after. The Ford Video Guy does not recommend trying to install an after-market wiring harness because there are no approved options. And if you do and there are...

I just did the same, ditched the stand alone hitch and added XLT LUX. Two things I have to have are a hybrid and a hitch. So switching from the stand-alone hitch to the LUX to get a hitch works for me. All the waiting means I will have saved up the price difference by the time I get the...

Interesting. My dealer which I really like does not seem to know about a lot of this stuff. I am educating them rather than them telling me stuff. The best most reliable source I have found is the ford video guy. He is not always right but does correct himself if he thinks he is wrong the...

Not correct, for some unfathomable reason, only the stand-alone trailer hitch is contained. Not the trailer hitches in packages. At lest that is my understanding from the Ford Video Guy and other souces

I just switched from Hybrid XLT with a stand lone trailer hitch to the LUX package. So my only constrained item is it being hybrid. Fingers crossed. My dealer says I'm at the front of the list for new 23 orders at dealership. Well see how long a hybrid with no constraints takes.

No, the Dec build date for a 22 means that 22 is being canceled and converted to a 23. It is complicated because Ford has to do the conversion the dealers can not. But there are order number complications that the dealer does have to do. These are 22's that have VINs and were suppose to be...

This is my first honda fit. I've loved it. But I agree it is like driving a go cart. But a huge upgrade from the previous car which was a chevy metro, manual, 3-cylinder, no AC. Talk about driving a go-cart. Photo is included as proof of my crap car history. But it was $7000 brand new in...

I am pretty patient. My current car is a base model 2009 honda fit manual, 200K+ miles ($14k). I started looking for a replacement about 2 years ago. I like doing a lot of research since I plan on buying new and keeping it for a long time. I saw the Maverick news in 2021 and held out...

I finally got to sit in a Maverick a few weeks ago at a baby shower. Talked to the owners. They originally ordered 2 hybrids it took so long to them get they ordered 2 ecoboosts while waiting. They got the eco's and drove them for a while until the hybrids came in. They are selling the eco's...

That is not what the ford authority article said or the ford video guy. Stand-alone is not contained but the ones in the packages are. It does not make sense to me either. Just passing along the info I heard and read.

I could be wrong but previous posts about the trailer hitch (a week or so ago) say it is only the one in the packages like LUX packages. The stand-alone $100 trailer hitch was not constrained. That could have changed but I have my fingers crossed.

I think, and I might be wrong, but the original question was why don't car companies add solar? They have more constraints than the public when it comes to adding solar. The public can throw flat solar panels onto a roof rack which no car company could get away with. So that is the question I...

You should look up some videos on the Aptera Electric Car, which has solar panels. They talk about why most hybrid cars don't have solar panels. Very interesting. You would not get 10-20 miles a day but more like 1-2 miles a day (I think). You have to have a super light car that is very...

All I know is that is what the article said. Just saying what I read. I also asked the ford video guy and he agreed.

Nice! Steph

https://fordauthority.com/2022/10/current-2023-ford-maverick-supply-constraints-revealed/ Currently, the 2023 Ford Maverick supply constraints consist of front and rear splash guards, the hard-folding trifold bed cover, load box bedliner, pickup box extender, soft-folding tonneau cover, load...

It's not the stand-alone Trailer hitch but the Trailer Hitch Receiver in the packages. The $100 trailer hitch is not a constrained item.
