These magazine tests are a joke. I know first hand. My wife and I had a 2012 Hyundai Elantra and a 2012 Chevy Cruze Eco. Both EPA rated at 35MPG avg at the time. I was telling everyone who would listen (forums and car website comment threads) that I was getting vastly higher MPG from the Cruze...

Thats about right OTD with perhaps a relatively smallish markup.

With our primary vehicles I am very much like this, OCD. With this being a third vehicle I plan on beating the crap out of it and not giving a shit. I will probably try and get it airborne a few times. My Fusion has taken a beating and it has held up impressively well. Fords are tanks.

Holy shit! Nicely done! Any chance an Android version will eventually be available?

"Prusa orange" is quite a popular color in the 3d printing world. I cant wait to get my Mav so I can actually put my 3D printer to use for something other than printing parts for my 3D printer... Shout out to OP for some sweet designs!

This guys rep here in Colorado is garbage. I wonder why. Vin: 3FTTW8F98NRA03705 https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=615381923

I think at this point if you ordered last year its probably best that you wait vs paying ADM. There are piles of Mavericks just waiting on chips. Once those arrive there will be a flood of deliveries. From what I have read GM and Ford anticipate the chip shortage is nearing an end by the middle...

Reminds me of my wife's Audi e-tron sitting in the service lot for 2 months waiting on a part from Germany. I was getting pretty stressed out as the temperatures for weeks on end were touching 100. When I mentioned my concern to the service guy he looked at me like I was crazy and said "they are...

Oct 13th order. Hoping for early May delivery but not betting the house on it. In the mean time, I have my 2015 Fusion Energi to get me places. Been plenty reliable but only 120k miles on it. I need a truck though... badly. If you see a White Fusion Energi in Denver packed to the roof with stuff...

I ordered from Granger on Oct 13th, last I heard was I was number 35 in line, that was Dec 1st. Apparently they got allocated 0 Mavericks last month. We may be waiting longer than 3 months... They seem to be a very high volume dealership though, so you would think they would be allocated more...

Wait as long as you like, but I dont think thats really a thing anymore. That 2.5 liter engine has been around for a long while, about as refined as its gonna get, and is damn near bullet proof.

This is why forums exist. Plenty of people replied to this post and I found it informative considering I placed my order on Oct 3rd. Not in any hurry just wanted to get an idea of where I stand. I have an XLT Hybrid with the SIBL so seems like I should relax and get comfortable for a while. :D

The problem is there are smooth-brains out there buying them with these markups. It seems to be getting worse.

Yes indeed. The problem really is with the people who cant math or control their desire for instant gratification because they cant bring themselves to be grown ups and actually wait for a reasonable deal. The dealerships know this and take full advantage. The real victims arent the asshats that...

If anyone is interested I can get you a RAV4 for $95k, DM me if interested. Its a black Friday special.

Dealerships cant just do whatever they want. Ford does indeed have some control. I do agree that much of the problem are people that are willing to get hosed because they have zero patience though. Grown ass men and women with the self control of a five year old always expecting instant...

Why the hell is Ford letting these dealerships bait and switch people on custom orders? There should be laws against this kind of shit.

I have a white (tri-coat metallic) Ford Fusion and the one major benefit of white is it hides dents very well. Mine has hail damage but you really have to look to see it, most people dont notice. The same damage on a black or darker color would look terrible. But for this truck im probably gonna...

Merging onto highways with a 190HP Hybrid is not going to be an issue, period. Not even worth mentioning IMO.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but another reason to choose a hybrid is because, with a light foot, brake wear is nearly non-existent. Most of the energy lost to heat with brake friction is put back into the battery with regen. Most of the reason why hybrids are more efficient is they...
