I heard about the hold on mud guards and pulled that from my order. Based on your analysis I should also remove my floor mats. I had no idea this was going to be a thing. Live and learn
I called Ford and after waiting a few minutes in the cue I talked to a friendly rep who was able to confirm I am in the system. Now I just wait, anything before Christmas will be a victory.
Went to the Denver auto show to see the truck in person. i was disappointed at first because they were not letting me in the truck or even open the doors. I came back later and someone had convinced them to open the doors. I’m glad I came back. I also saw a Bronco with the area 51 color...
FWD with snow tires can handle any snow on paved surface, the limiting factor is clearance and that should be pretty good for the Maverick.

Maybe, firs at one to take delivery buys lunch?
I am 58, I have been driving my 01 Ranger for 20 years waiting for an option that is this size. Bonuses: Hybrid with all the modern safety and convenience features
I am also in CO driving a 2001 Ranger 2WD. I am exited to have a small pickup option to replace my Ranger. The rear wheel drive has been a challenge but in my experience FWD, good tires, ground clearance and common sense is all I need for 95% of the snow storms I have driven in over the years.
