After surviving the Great Order Debacle of '21, with little communication, a canceled VIN, a rollover, disappearing colors and equipment, and a 507 day wait, not getting a confirmation email for my 2025 order triggered my order related PTSD. Self medicating as I write.... 🍷
Built out the XLT AWD, 2K less than a similarly equiped Lariat. Upgrade! Now, picking a color. Green, Blue, or Black? Green is the "limited edition" color. Decisions, decisions.
Update: Went with the green!
Only Lobo gets fog lights? They are such a basic feature. Their continued exclusion points to some childhood trauma affecting the Ford design team. Hopefully they will get some therapy before the next refresh.
Right now it's an Eruption green Lariat Hybrid AWD, unless there's a mystery trim like Lobo or Lightning, then I may be persuaded otherwise. I'm easily distracted by shiny objects.
Not impressed with the 24 offerings/pricing. Holding off for the PHEV when/if it comes. My 23 will do me just fine until then. Just hope it keeps its high trade in value.
I was prepared to trade in my 23 Mav with a 24 order, but it looks like there'll be major changes for 25. I'll wait. Let other folks enjoy Ford and dealer hijinks for the 24MY.
