Nice kit, lucky YOU!
Very close to what I have on order except for color. I went back and forth on color maybe six times. Finally got so frustrated (with myself, lol) that I just went with the White to end my torment.
So, what are the minor gripes?
...didn't even realize it was an issue in WI.
My 2010 Escape was initially registered (when brand new) as a "Truck".
It was only upon renewing plates the first time since Evers has been Governor that there's a substantial difference in cost of renewal between 'Auto' vs 'Truck' plates.
"Gross...
When you think about it, it actually makes sense.
Tires in general are in short supply these days. So, every Maverick that goes out the door with a full-size spare means that another new one will only have three wheels, lol.
Ford needs every tire they can get their hands on.
Dealer also...
FYI- I was contacted by my dealer on Feb 2 regarding a new update from Ford about the current "constrained commodities".
My Maverick (ordered late Oct) is pretty straighforward:
* XLT, Lux Pkg, AWD, EB2.0, full-size spare, upgraded 17-in wheels.
Dealer said that the item holding-up scheduling...
My dealer contacted me today to tell me that they had gotten updated regarding which options were holding-up various models' scheduling for production due to commodity constraints.
For my Maverick (order date Oct.20th), it is the Full-size Spare which is the apparent problem component. I suppose...
...please elaborate on the potential for "emissions issues" with a Vented Can system. It sounds like a superior solution to the contaminants problem, but not at the price of failing mandated emissions testing!
...but, wouldn't a green truck with a blue interior drive you nuts?
It sure would me.
The only (available) color I absolutely would not have is black...too damned hard to keep looking good. Black highlights every little scratch, waterspot, and polishing swirl. Nothing looks better when its...
...My order was placed in the third week of October, rec'd the confirming email from Ford the following day.
As of today (09JAN2022) I'm still waiting to get the VIN and heads-up that it's been scheduled.
I made a couple of minor changes a couple of weeks ago.
'Have to get a new Z-plan PIN...
'Winter' is a season, and all the ramifications which come with it. Seasons occur predictably, a time period would be something like 'Day', 'Month', 'Year'.
The F-1 has a nice patina.
I'm in WI, and my dealer wrote-up my Z-plan order with no hesitancy.
It'll save me a little, but not even close to the discount amount back in the old days, lol.
Looks excellent.
Just my opinion, but I'd say "No" to black wheels. I never liked the look...unless they include bright beauty rings. That actually IS a good look I think...always reminds me of Porsches for some reason.
I'd like to see a Mav with chrome reverse wheels and baby-moons too.
Gawd, I...
