  1. HOW LONG

    Oh and folks, check your tire pressure. Mine was still at shipping tire pressure, sitting mid-40s, a good 10 PSI higher than cold pressure should be.
  2. HOW LONG

    Sounds real sharp! Give it a good exterior once-over, I didn't even catch the paint chip in the Eruption Green, my mother-in-law did. Hopefully any issues in Desert Sand will stand out more.
  3. HOW LONG

    Went and picked it up today. Aside from a chip in the paint they said they'll work on, everything looks great, and honestly the BAP really made a huge difference on the final product. Interior much more to my personal taste, decals look good, love those wheels. Only drive it home for now, but...
  4. Maverick Down (Totaled), But Very Safe Truck

    Couldn't have put it better.
  5. Maverick Down (Totaled), But Very Safe Truck

    Good luck to your daughter! It's a line to ride for sure, you have to assume things are going to proceed normally but you also have to be prepared for anything to happen, and have secure control of your vehicle if said anything happens. Teaching the kid to drive also reinforced better driving...
  6. HOW LONG

    Got The Call yesterday, they said it would take a good 24 hours to make it ready - inspection and all that - so based on my own scheduling, I'll be heading over on Monday to pick it up. The salesman said he loved the look of it - Eruption Green XLT with BAP - and I laughed and said "Yeah, I...
  7. Maverick Down (Totaled), But Very Safe Truck

    I have spent the last 18 months training my son up to drive - that's how I wound up here - and the #1 thing I have drilled into him is being late is not a problem to concern yourself with when you are driving. At all. It doesn't matter. When you are driving the only thing that matters is getting...
  8. Maverick Down (Totaled), But Very Safe Truck

    Glad you seem to have come out of it all right, and thankful to the Mav for taking care of you. It's wild to me that people think even a slight risk of accident is worth driving recklessly, this guy is going to pay for this in so many ways.
  9. RIP Jeep Patriot. Hello Ford Maverick

    That logic applies to all laws.
  10. HOW LONG

    Nice! Ford shows Delivered as of tonight - like after 5PM when I checked - and I am hoping for the dealer call tomorrow, which has been the date I was hoping for all along.
  11. Orange Fury Metallic Ford Maverick Spied!

    It's fun seeing doppelgänger rides. There is someone else in my area that also drives a 2004 Ford Ranger, in blue, with the side steps, and they are like a distant relation by that alone.
  12. Orange Fury Metallic Ford Maverick Spied!

    Wow, Twister Orange is new to me, that is some PUMPKIN orange. Love it.
  13. HOW LONG

    Delivery sitting at 7/19-25, my hope is I can head on over after work 7/24 with my wife so we can inspect, test it out, and take care of business. I know I said I'd update when it was ready, but I thought I'd mention that I contacted the salesman to ask that they please not add the dealer...
  14. New to the club / photo dump.

    Congrats! Agreed on white Mavericks, it works better than most.
  15. Orange Fury Metallic Ford Maverick Spied!

    That orange POPS. Eruption Green is my favorite color in ages, but if I'd missed out, would not be mad at taking one of these.
  16. Am I a Luddite for not connecting Ford Pass?

    Agreed, I hope we can bring it back to something at least a bit more nuanced.
  17. Am I a Luddite for not connecting Ford Pass?

    Workers who found their skilled trade work being overcome by the machines of industry that made cheaper, worse product at higher margins for the benefit of big capital. A tale as old as the industrial revolution, relevant to today.
  18. Am I a Luddite for not connecting Ford Pass?

    There's a book called "Blood in the Machine" that talks about who the Luddites were, and they were pretty awesome.
  19. RIP Jeep Patriot. Hello Ford Maverick

    The ghost camper! Invisible to the naked eye, takes up no actual space, cars behind you can even pull right into it and never know!
  20. HOW LONG

    Unfortunately that triple-zero does not apply to the Maverick, nor does it apply to many current model years, making it feel more like a "take this excess stock off our lots" sale than a true sale like Employee Pricing was. Really just Escape, Explorer, and some 2024s. Now Honda - I hesitate to...
