I have not hooked up my OBDII (with Forscan) yet. Tonight I did hook up my TopDon battey tester. Resting voltage was exactly the same as my Klein at 12.42. During the test, it said my load voltage was 12.49, State of Health was 100%, State of Charge 81%, and resistance of 5.62mOhms. I really...

I am in agreement with both of your points. I have only had my Hybrid for 2 weeks but been testing the battery voltage 3-4 times a day trying to see if there is some rhyme or reason to things. I use a Klein multi-meter so confident in the readings. After the 30 mile drive home from the dealer...

No. Very bad (and dangerous) advice. Each vehicle is specifically designed for a specific tire pressure that optimizes handling/fuel economy/braking/comfort/etc. Changing tire brands or ratings does not change the recommended PSI. I know of no company that recommends running tires at max PSI...

The answer to the "do you think people cannot see a vehicle.." is "Yes. Absolutely.". I have seen this way to many times and have actually experienced it myself on a few occasions. It is midnight, you are 20 miles from the nearest town, no moon, driving 65MPH on a 2-lane highway through the...

Anyone have luck finding retro-reflective lettering right now? I have spent the last 3+ hours checking Ebay, Amazon, and Etsy and the normal vendors listed on this thread do not seem to carry them anymore. On Etsy I did see one vendor selling "reflective" vinyl that seems to be made from Turner...

What most people refer to as a Maverick Private Offer is for those that ordered a Meverick in 2021, did not get it delivered, and then had to re-order in September 2022. This was to partially make up for the fact that the price of a Maverick went up by $1750 for a Ecoboost and $2750 for a...

At this point, I find these "I ordered in September '22 and mad that I don't have my Maverick yet" posts quite amusing. I placed my order a year earlier than your order and still don't have one (but finally have a VIN at least). When I originally ordered, I was told "it could be as early as...

I have done both so at least have an anadotal perspective. First order way back on Oct 1, 2021 was with a small-town dealership. I think they only got 5 Mavericks (and only 1 of those a Hybrid) out of 12 that were ordered. Went with them since they gave me the best deal (which the GM later...

Thank you. I greatly appreciate the help. I am going to try and do the face-to-face first and see if I get anywhere. I want to make sure that I in no way mess things up with my current dealership. If I make no progress in the next two weeks, then I will absolutely take you up on the offer...

Been a week and still have heard absolutely NOTHING from @Ford Motor Company (who I directly sent a PM to last week), current dealership (e-mail sent to Sales Agent as well as Sales Manager), and old dealership (sent to both Sales Agent and Sales Manager). Phone calls have gone to voice-mail...

I have called Ford Marketing no less than 6 times since August. Ford Marketing would absolutely have given me the Private Offer Certificate number if it were in their system (they were happy to give me the number for my $750 offer that was in their system). Unfortunately, it is NOT in their...

I know that there are 50+ Private Offer threads and I have read (and participated) in just about all of them over the last 10 months. Trying to figure out if anyone was able to find "the magic Ford person" that can actually assist if the dealership will not. After 19 months, I finally received...

Finally, after 21 months of waiting: ⏰ 9:42 AM CT 📅 July 31 🛻 XL Hybrid with only hitch. Aera 51 📍 Central Texas 🗓 10/1/21 (curious how many have waited longer) 🕺 Lief Johnson Ford, Austin

This thread has me confused. How can the order be "previewed" as a Priority 10? Based on reading this forum for the last 2 years, "preview" typically only happens as a result of an order converting to a Priority 2. Did this order go from Prioity 10, to 2, and back to 10 (which normally does not...

Actually, what the dealer said is more than likely mostly true at least for Hybrids. Most of the dealers in Central Texas have probably 2x to 3x the number of Hybrid orders compared to how many they expect to actually get via allocation. Back in September, most of the dealers in this area where...

Here is Texas the Ford lots are absolutely over-flowing. Unsold F150s as far as the eye can see (literally hundreds of them on a single lot). No-one is even looking at them since they are just WAY too expensive. Last year the lots were bare. Around January/February they started to fill up and by...

In my case, yes. When I ordered 20 months ago I was promised the truck "by April at the very latest". The original point of ordering was to have a new vehicle to use for vacation in the summer of 2002. I ordered again in September 2022 just because there was not anything else in the market at...

Only 8 months??? I am at 20 months (Oct 1, 2021 order) for an XL HYbrid with nothing but a trailer hitch. Been Priority 10 the entire time. Contacted chat yesterday (for about the 30th time) and still "Priority 10: clean" the same as it has been for over a year and a half. Small dealer from last...

Since this is Texas, go to your local law library and look up the statutes and case law for "Promissory estoppel", "unjust enrichment", and "treble damages". If you have a signed and counter-signed Buyer's order then probably easier to just go with "Breach of contract" but if you don't, then the...

As long as your dealer is at least semi-honest (which is never a good assumption), you should be price ptotected. As for going from Priority 11 to 15, that is ENTIRELY something that was done by your dealer. Basically they have someone that they want scheduled before you. This could be an...
