The X-Plan doesn't save you much on a vehicle this inexpensive. I am using the X-Plan (my employer is an OEM supplier to Ford), and it's saving me about $700 under MSRP on a ~$30k build. Not complaining though. You start to save more when you get to higher price points. I think I priced out a...
XLT 4K FX4 CP360. I think my only constraint is the CP360. I would remove it, but I have a 13yo that I will likely pass this down to when he starts driving in ~3 years. So going to keep the CP360 for the young driver.
I work for an automotive parts manufacturer. What we see is that companies are going heavy on full electric, and skipping hybrid. Our business is currently transforming from supplying ICE related components to EV related components. We don't see hybrids ever having a large market share. Ford's...
I don't know anything about the film types, but my local installer said:
The film we use is Premium Shield NexGen Elite if you want to look into that. There is a lifetime warranty for any yellowing, blistering, and delaminating.
This is what I was quoted from a reputable shop in my area:
$595 Bumper if the bottom portion is chrome or plastic
$695 if the bottom half of the bumper is painted.
$895 Partial including Bumper, 1/3 of the front fenders, and 1/3 way up the hood.
$1895 Full Front End including bumper, full...
I didn't go through every post, but from what I could tell it looks like they only scheduled Hybrids this week? Is that correct? I wonder what kind of changeover is needed on the Ford Assy Line to switch from Ecoboost to Hybrid. Can they build both types simultaneously or do they have some...
My dealer in east Tennessee did not ask for any deposit at all. I was waiting to order a Maverick because I assumed there was a deposit I wanted to test drive one before I put money down. But when the order cutoff date was announced in January I called my dealer to ask about the process, and was...
Agreed. I priced mine out to $29k with AWD, FX4, 4k, and CP360. I priced out a similarly equiped Ranger at around $37k. If I got into the low to mid $30s, I might as well get a Ranger and get 7k towing capability and a bigger bed.
I've been seeing $2-5k ADM in my area (East Tennessee). Dealer will give MSRP/X-Plan to new custom orders, but if its off the lot they are demanding ADM, and will not honor X-Plan pricing.
Yes ordering is done for 22MY. It seems ordering for 23MY will open up ~Aug 16.
2023 Maverick Timeline:
August 16 order bank open
September 15 scheduling begins
October 6 retail scheduling
October 24 1st production
October 27 OK to buy
I ordered an FX4, 4k Tow, CP360 on 1/26. I know the dealer memo said that the "Retail Order Verification Process" had to be completed by 2/2. I texted my Sales guy today (2/1) to see if that was done. He said "we are good. It's pending through Ford." I don't know exactly what that means. Would...
I don't know anything specifically about the Maverick development cycle. Maybe it was shorter than typical. Yes everything is a mess right now. Seems like new fires to put out every day with the supply chain just to keep up with orders.
I work in the automotive industry as a product design engineer for a major OEM supplier. A cars development cycle is ~5 years long. This vehicle was in development long before Covid hit. Covid, supply chain, chip shortage, natural disasters, and port delivery issues have caused disruptions...
