MSRP at Monaco Ford in Glastonbury CT. Was told (before I placed the order) to not expect to see my hybrid for 20-28 weeks. Pre-purchase searches showed mostly very positive dealer & service reviews.
I don't expect to see my vehicle until sometime between late March and early May, but I have...
My dealer warned me, before I place my order for the Hybrid Lariat Lux, that it would likely be 20-28 weeks before I saw my new vehicle. I'm not in the situation of needing a new vehicle "now" and am willing to accept this time frame.. Although I won't be heartbroken if it's delivered early...
On the "Build Your Maverick" site it says "Dashcam - F200 IR Forward, Rear and Cab Cameras With Harness, by Aamp Global". On the Aamp Global site there's this page announcing their partnership with Thinkware: https://aampglobal.com/aamp-partners-with-thinkware/

Following this because I'm a "HAM weirdo" (🤪 Art_Vandelay). I'm wondering where I can mount my ICOM ID5100, antenna and how to route the coax without interfering with the airbags & stuff.

That's the estimate the dealer gave me before I decided to go ahead with the purchase. I would "assume" (and yes, I know what that word breaks down to ;) ) it is based on conversations they've had with their Ford Rep.

Put down a $500 refundable deposit & signed the papers over lunch today (10/25), estimated delivery in 20-28 weeks. Only reason I foresee cancelling my order & requesting my $500 back will be if, when the dealership gets a demo vehicle next month and I can sit in it, I find that it's too...
