Can we dial this back please, on both sides of the fence? The hybrid / ICE banter is SO freaking exhausting. If there was a clear winner there would'nt be an option. When there is, the inferior option will die off. Both options as part of the overall Maverick offering are a step in the right...

Its not a credit card holder, its a credit card reader that just currently does nothing. This is future proofing for when car manufacturers start to go pay for play. Like the makers of so many other devices that are useless without subscription 😂 What's the fuse you pull to deactivate the cell...

Infrastructure currently cannot sustain EV growth. If we cant support infrastructure to keep up with how much EVs are being pushed we'll have problems. We will hit a point where enough people adopt it that demand shifts and electricity to gas costs for automobiles flip. However we'll all be...

You underestimate the stupidity of the consumer public 😆. You could make the most functional vehicle in the world, but if they dont feel like it makes them look good they wont buy it ☹️. People want to stand out, but in a very safe way, not too different.

Dont forget flippers require buyers. Impatient, uninformed, lucky enough to not care about the $$$. The mentality of the general consumer mass baffles me.

Thats a feature not a bug 😆! Forcing you to leave extra buffer zone so the guy in front doest ding you.

I feel like the discussion about blow through is just a distraction. Possibly someone who was looking for additional reason to justify 5K change interval. Which is unnecessary because it's just and "extra caution" thing. I thought that the 5K cautionary change was because the the turbo also is...

This is a great highlight of the never ending debate that an "I wish" thread like this could be. Aluminum: Light weight & efficiency vs stronger steal. I say strength is steals pro, because in terms or durability and rust resistance it leans back toward aluminum. Woh, just thought of an all...

Nope, dont have mine yet. But not something 'd ponder anyway. Seems like one of those things where you have to take the bad with the good. I find every car I'm in had its uncomfortable issues that you'll adapt to over time and eventually no longer notice. Its not the issue usually but the...

Where do the cars get posted in these forums? Just a thread or is there a dedicated area? Outside of possible visibility issue, you may actually be missing your target market in the forums. Most people I see here on the forum seem to fit below teo categories... 1) Already have one or two Mavs...

I thought by being there on order book open day that I was somewhat safe with an Ecoboost XL. One of the first few ecoboost orders at my dealer and early enough to nab a limited quantity of XL. In the game of constraints, based on the "limited availability on XL", I now wonder... are...

Keep other people from hitting me and winding.up back in in this list with insurance headaches or worse. Seems like a no brainer. On the lariat can you replace the lamps with regular lamps if you have problems out of warranty? Meaning, you could chat out on the fix if you got lights that...

Jim Sorry you dont live closer ☹️. I have an amazing Portable player that I couldnt bear to throw out the past 10 years because it functions great but is otherwise retired. You'd be a perfect candidate to continue its useful life.

Thanks, informative well written. Reinforcement that the platform doesn't have any weird weaknesses.

So you like to find arguments on the internet where there aren't any? Cause you're picking pieces of what I said and convincing yourself they fit an argument. None of your points are evidence to go against engineered specs. The "I'm not a hybrid guy" wasn't an invitation to arguing about one or...

Why do you seem to think I said it isn't good value? 🤷‍♂️ What I stated was more along the lines of... if you think its well engineered then why not also trust the duty guidelines/specs Ford engineers put forth. Aka, dont push your luck and operate it beyond tolerances. Why, did I say that...

Not a hybrid guy here, but could be in the future if my vehicle usage changes. My biggest worry with the hybrid and discussions around HP / torque would be the transmission's ability to handle it. Historically CVTs are efficient but not robust ☹. So even if I found out my vehicle produces...

😫 all the pontificating and chest puffing... its tiring.

If you know about allocations how does it help when dealers dont seem to give up that info or lie about it. Any secrets there?

Get outta hear! That scratch on my door was totally malicious intent, by the person with horns, who stalked me because they saw my sweet Mav and were jealous. They keyed that super long (1") and super deep (barely clear coat), scratch and now I have to have the whole side of my Mav repainted...
