Curious that they mentioned specific models but didn't include the Maverick. (F-150, Bronco, Explorer, Ranger, Mustang Mach E, Lincoln Aviator.)
Anyway, I thought Ford had partnered with Global Foundries, a US chip manufacturer, so this kind of thing wouldn't happen...
A day after I ordered my Maverick, I got a confirmation e-mail from Ford. I forwarded it to a friend when telling him of my order. A few days later, I went to look at that confirmation e-mail from Ford and it was nowhere to be found... no longer in my IN box or in my DELETED ITEMS box.

Someone already makes a device that will remember and default to your auto stop-start setting. Maybe they will make one that will remember your drive mode setting...
What I like least about the Maverick is that I have to wait so long to get one to find out what i really like least.
Here in the Northeast, "winter mix" gasoline is responsible for as much as a 10% penalty in MPG. I almost always buy my fuel at the same place in nearby VT (cheaper gas than NY) when I'm shopping and get pretty much the same MPG on the ride home. I can notice the drop in MPG when winter gets...

I got my Area 51 XLT w/4K tow package ordered just under the wire on Jan 26. I suppose I'll be watching this thread with envy until this fall...
I still haven't seen a Maverick on the road.
That's my next step, obviously. But with the COVID numbers going crazy around here and the dealership being 25 miles away, I thought something as simple as ordering could be done easily on line, especially considering there would be no haggling on the MSRP....
I went to the Ford webpages and built a Maverick. It was sent to my local dealer. They responded with an e-mail asking for more info. I answered it. They said they'd get back to me soon.
After waiting two weeks with no further contact from that dealer, I cleared the Ford cookies on my...
