  1. can i drive a hybrid into the ground?

    I think your biggest enemy might not be your longevity, or that of the proven hybrid tech. Where it lies is Northeast Ohio winters. If you keep it garaged and keep it as free of salt as possible, you'll easily do it. I lived on the east side of Cleveland in Chagrin, then in Rocky River, all...
  2. Maverick down, I repeat MAVERICK XL HYBRID DOWN! ($15k in airbags, $15k in body and paint damage repair)

    Glad you're not hurt worse. Curious if the deployed airbags were pre or post recall, or if you were even affected by that recall.
  3. Do I have any leverage?

    It all comes down to what kind of dealer you ordered from. There's essentially just 2 kinds.
  4. Permaplate protection worth it? Is my dealer trying to pull a fast one?

    I think there's a helluva lot more than "a handful of people" that were screwed by their dealer, losing incentives available at time of order, or the private offer fiasco, or just plain old-fashioned bs like appearance protection.
  5. What do you (will you) miss from your old vehicle in the Maverick?

    My 20 year old Passat with the 1.8T and 140K got wayyyyyyy better milage. Other than that....not a thing.
  6. Oil Change Already at 4k miles / 3 months?

    I did my 1st @ 3724, at a different dealer than where I purchased (because the dealer didn't honor PP, finance incentives, or Farm Bureau). I've put on 1006 since, and I have 69% life remaining. It is estimating next January and/or an additional 2400 miles. I took delivery in July '22. 80%...
  7. Finally picked up order - no cargo mgmt and dora not honored, normal?

    If you ended up paying hundreds to thousands more because the dealer wouldn't play by the rules, then yeah, that's normal.
  8. Ceramic Coating feedback?

    I've been using various Adam's Polish products. Currently waiting to apply my post winter graphene ceramic spray, after a clay bar treatment and hand wash etc. Compared to old school hand waxing, this stuff is a breeze. I havent used any of the more concentrated ceramic coatings, thinking those...
  9. Info for your dealers: How to Complete Price Protection on Ordered Vehicle

    When your dealer watches this video with you in the showroom office and looks at you like you're from Mars and refuses to display the system for you, well, it really doesn't matter that I know how to do it. Thanks for the great information that has helped many. It's just a damn shame so many...
  10. My Dealer is playing games with my MY22 to MY23 Private Offer

    The dealer I ordered and bought from fucked me out of every single incentive available at the time I ordered. When I showed them a short 6 min video clip from Tim Bartz demonstrating smart Vincent incentive activation they looked at me like they were from Mars. I went ahead and purchased it, and...
  11. Anyone have their airbag recall done in the Quick Lane?

    I had mine done at a dealer other than the one I bought from, because that dealer fucked me on all incentives. I'll never step foot on their property again. The dealer I went to claimed I had to bring it in first to confirm my truck was in the recall, despite the recall letter. I took it in...
  12. Air Design fender flares - smoothed and color matched

    Beautiful truck and a nice look. Do these attach with some sort of adhesive?
  13. Transmission gave at 16k miles. Getting rid of the maverick/ fairwell post

    I understand. A big driver of my purchase was tech enhanced safety features. And I'm glad it saved lives for you. Ive had my airbags done, got the Yeti, and things seem well. Best of luck to you whatever you drive.
  14. Transmission gave at 16k miles. Getting rid of the maverick/ fairwell post

    Something different? I understand that. I've been driving a '22 Audi A4, and I get in my Lariat Lux and look at the screen and think Fisher Price. And then I get used to it again. So many metaphors I could use, but you guys have heard most of 'em and know a few I don't. The itch.
  15. Not as popular as we thought?

    I've had a few. To most, it's just another truck.
  16. Fog Lights Molded Into Bumper -- My Project Has Started

    Love my Dremel. Interested to see the final transformation. Hope it goes smooth for you.
  17. My Dealer is playing games with my MY22 to MY23 Private Offer

    My experience was the same on my '22 with the price protection and and the financing incentives at the time I placed my order (0%). After the general manager watched the Salina Kansas gentleman's video, they looked at me like they were from Mars and didn't understand a damn thing said. It was...
