There has been a wave of gas theft in the Atlanta area, but thieves aren’t bothering to siphon out the gas. They drill holes and just collect it underneath. Thieves are not nice people
I was originally planning to hold out for a future model year when this becomes a thing. Then gas prices shot up (thanks Putin) and 24 MPGs started sounding really good.
So, I didn't get to actually buy my build, but I put a lot of thought into it. I ended up finding one that was close enough because I'm impatient. I think it worked out, though.
I got one with CP360 which I was going to leave off, but did not get the FX4 kit like I wanted. In hindsight, I'd...
I traded in a crew cab Silverado for the Mav and have no regrets. My infrequent rear seat passengers just won't have as much leg room. Oh well. I can still get three asses seated back there, though, if they're friendly with each other.
I wish I could open the windows & sunroof remotely with the fob, the "Global-Open Windows" feature. It would be nice to cool it off before climbing inside.
Rain-sensing automatic windshield wipers would be nice, too. I had a 2012 Mazda with it and it was great. I don't know why it's not more...
[I was trying to reply to "Impatience is expensive" but the quote didn't work]
Is it, though? I mean, I'm sure folks will save money by waiting to order and getting their truck next year, and I should generally be less impulsive, but $3K today is not the same as $3K next year with these...
I didn't get the FX4 package. (I found one for sale rather than ordering a build.) I'd like to add an OEM or aftermarket skid plate but can't find anything. Any advice? I've been searching FordParts.com and these forums and coming up empty.
Has anyone added skid plates to a Mav without FX4?
If I were a sexist man, I'd make a joke like "of course she's trans, she's mechanically inclined" or "..knows a lot about cars." But I'm not. And I actually do know a couple of women who are mechanics.
The 2:50 mark... I had to back and watch again. I was wondering what all that cheap plastic stuff underneath mine are for. It's really flimsy. Aerodynamics..?
Personally, I don't know why anyone gets a fully loaded Lariat Ecoboost with FWD. I mean, if you've checked off EVERY other box, why not get AWD, too? And if you're content with FWD then why not save with a hybrid?
3 including mine, and I think it was the first one the salesman had seen. I saw one in Clearwater, FL back in December. I don't know what kind it was. There's a hybrid that I've see in traffic a couple times here north of ATL. I waved to the guy.
Are we doing that, waving like Jeep owners...
When I was searching online, calling dealerships to inquire about Mavericks they had listed for sale, I called at least half a dozen and they all said "that's a customer order, it's not actually for sale, and it's not even here on the lot.." Then they put me on a list to call in case an order...
