They're not. That's why Ford provides CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment in all Mavericks.

You aren't wrong. Had you walked away from the 2nd vehicle someone would have made the profit, just not you. From your description of the process, it doesn't seem like you were speculating at the time you placed the second order. Enjoy your windfall. I suspect the situation for 2023s is...

11/18/22: On hold for pick up. I'll revise listing if they become available again. Set of 4 Maverick XL steelies. Excellent condition, no damage. They had a few hundred miles on them when I took them off the truck. No nuts, caps or TPMS. Wheels only, as shown in the photo. Perfect for...

I especially like: "New transmission will improve ride quality"

You're trading your data for a couple of oil changes or an accessory or two. Ford is aggregating the data from thousands of customers to gain real-word information on how their customers use their products. Where they drive. How fast or slow. When they service their vehicles, and where...

I've tested my truck's MPG computer against manual calculations on my AWD EB a dozen times. The trip computer is always incorrect, consistently erring on the side of higher reported MPG (not a surprise, most of the vehicles I've owned have done the same thing). This is based on 12 fill-ups...

"I love capitalism when it benefits me, but I hate capitalism when it benefits someone else"

Ford sells a standard cab Ranger outside the United States. They don't sell it domestically...I suspect because sales of prior Ranger models didn't justify offering that configuration here. In the early 2000s I bought a standard cab Chevy S10 pickup. I loved the truck but hated the fact that...

I get that. I'm just saying if there were some kind of formalized order cancelation process, I wouldn't put the task of ensuring the integrity of affidavits / signatures in the hands of a finance manager or frankly, any dealership employee. It would be too easy for a dealership employee to...

I suppose this is why the requirement is 75%, not 100%. Dealers who are playing by the rules will have the occasional customer cancellation. As long as they are delivering 75% (eventually 80%) of their orders to the customer who placed the order, they are free to take the canceled vehicle and...

Yeah. Something tells me that the finance manger is the l-a-s-t person you want acting as the gatekeeper for this process. Notary should have no vested interest in the transaction.

This experiment shows the relative change in MPG for the same vehicle at different average speeds, but keep in mind, the vehicle's onboard MPG calculation is not reliable. That being said, it's interesting to see how much speed affects MPG. I always scratch my head when I see giant, lifted...

I believe those figures represent actual deliveries, rather than orders. Ford has never revealed their Maverick order numbers.

👆 This. Plus, Ford and Ford dealers almost certainly make less per vehicle on fleet sales. They're generally selling low-option, base models to fleet customers. Keeping fleet customers in the fold is a priority, but not a higher priority than selling to retail customers who load up their...

Deleting the video from youtube and removing this thread would be pointless. OP indicates he turned to video over to the police. Attorneys, insurers, etc, won't need to search youtube or chat forums; the evidence is easily accessible.

I have an AWD EB with slightly oversize 245/65 17 AT tires. I don't mess with the driving modes, the truck is always in "normal". I'm in south FL with no terrain/hills, and the A/C is always on. I'm getting sub-20 MPG when driving in-town on surface streets with zero interstate / divided...

Items I've added to my EB XL: - Bullet spray-in bedliner (sourced locally) - Gator tri-fold tonneau cover (craigslist) - Bronco Sport take off wheels (craigslist) - Set of Cooper AT tires (local shop) - Ceramic tint for front windows (local shop) - Floor trays (Amazon) - Leather steering wheel...

Not long. I was used to it within a couple of months. I get in my other vehicle now and my hand automatically drops to where the shifter in my Maverick is. I have to engage my brain to remember I'm in a different vehicle and find the shifter elsewhere. The Maverick shifter is different...

XL - Six tiedowns: 4 in the bed 2 on the tailgate none are D-rings

One can pretty easily distinguish an AWD (which is, of course an EB) from a FWD by looking at the rear suspension. The AWD has an independent set up that is easy to spot. Beyond that, the only way I can think of to easily tell the difference between a hybrid and a non-hybrid just from the...
