  1. Costco auto.com/invoicepricing.com

    I just tried to build a hybrid on their site, and got this message: "Pricing for this accessory (hybrid) is not available at this time." I have yet to see one of these pricing services that's ever provided an "unbeatable" price; if anything, their pricing often is not competitive due to fees...
  2. Ford Protect Extended Warranty question

    "...But the very fact they continue to push & sell them is rather telling..." I honestly don't think these huge corporations REALLY know what stuff costs to repair these days, or a part's true longevity. Case in point: the headlights. I saw somewhere in these forums that you can't replace the...
  3. Ford Protect Extended Warranty question

    I'm sure "mcc63303" can clarify this (perhaps it's changed?), but PremiumCare is an "exclusionary" product, as where the other two offer "stated items" coverage. The difference? Exclusionary means you get a list of what's NOT covered; if it's not on the list and it fails, they have to replace...
  4. Maverick Front Grill

    Damn, that looks good! Been thinkin' about doing that my XLT (Hot Pepper Red), but now I know for sure! Can I ask what the body shop charged you?
  5. How to turn off seat belt alarm if your Manual's instructions don't work. [For Hybrid and probably Ecoboost Too] - DIY

    I've tried every one of these ridiculous combinations and NOTHING works. I have a few issues that I need looking at the first oil change, I'm just going to tell the dealer to turn the damn thing off. I must have at least an hour invested in this nonsense an hour of my life I will never get back.
  6. This is what Ford should produce in the Maverick

    And yet, people on here are complaining all the time that their truck has been on order for XX months and still no word as to when it will arrive. Doesn't sound like demand has been met, at least when it comes to the hybrid. The dealer I bought my '23 from is one of the largest in New York...
  7. This is what Ford should produce in the Maverick

    I love it, but until Ford can meet demand, where's the incentive to be build ANY variations at this point? It's not difficult to imagine King Ranch/ Platinum/ STX variations as well, but again: why invest in all of that when you can't meet the demand for what's already out there?
  8. Florida Sold: Right-side XLT outside rearview mirror

    I ripped mine off after backing up and hitting a mailbox. I've seen where some guys are parting out their totaled Mavericks, but after nearly an hour's search do you think I can find their posts? Anyways, sure would like to replace this missing mirror without making the billionaire that owns the...
  9. Will maverick last over 150k with mostly highway driving?

    You might go 500,000 miles without any problems at all. Or, your engine could bite the dust tomorrow. While most engines in most vehicles today are lasting well into 6 digits on the odometer, you're asking us if YOUR engine will last a long time. If I were THAT psychic, I wouldn't be living in a...
  10. Rustproofing Best Product

    Anybody remember "Electronic Rust Proofing?" I believe people actually went to jail over their outrageous claims.
  11. Rustproofing Best Product

    I was in car sales a long time, and it got to a point where I refused to sell Ziebart under any circumstances (much to the chagrin of management, but oh well... I needed to sleep at night). There are many issues, but the top two are: Ziebart employees are notorious liars, and while the Ziebart...
  12. Sport Mode

    Complete with gear grind, missed shifts and appropriate swear words! 😆
  13. Just the facts, ma'am - Latest JD Power report on vehicle dependability

    Ford started getting out of Mazda in 2008, and sold their last portion in the company in 2015. They never completely owned the company, just a portion of the stock. Joint ventures included the Probe/ MX6, Ranger/ Courier and Escape/ Tribute. IMHO, I think Mazda is now much better off. Go...
  14. Just the facts, ma'am - Latest JD Power report on vehicle dependability

    2 things: 1) Infotainment leads the list of problem areas and Apple Car Play/ Android Auto are the most trouble-prone in that area. Excellent: we've entered an era where the most problematic part of your vehicle is something you can truly live without. Remember when the top problem areas were...
  15. how was your Ford dealer experience?

    Stellar: Van Bortel Ford in East Rochester, NY. Paid invoice (about $800 below MSRP), which is what everyone else paid upon ordering. Dealer fee: $175. Temp tag: $12.50. That was it; paid reg fee and sales tax when I returned to Florida. Steve Miller kept me apprised of everything during order...
  16. Calling all that are happy with little to no issues!

    2023 XLT hybrid with 6500 miles: 1) turn-signal recall (reprogrammed in my driveway). 2) Weatherstripping on my Ford hard tonneau is coming loose 3) Android Auto is sometimes slow to wake up upon vehicle start-up. 4) The "chimes" sometimes have a hard time deciding which one should ring...
  17. Starting the hybrid gas engine to warm cab.

    I'm thinking this is the XLT with the Luxury Package; my fobs do not have a "2X" button.
  18. My 4-day old new Maverick hit by a driver who ran a light. Will this be totaled?

    A lot depends on whether or not the subframe is bent. I "totaled" a Ford C-Max a few years ago when I T-boned a Camry. The insurance company claimed I "bent the frame," but it drove fine and the air bags did not deploy.
  19. Ford Service Centers in Tampa Bay area

    Yes, the same. I'm sure they can tell you on the phone what can (and can't) be performed via mobile service. The two guys that camecyo the house seemed very knowledgeable to me.
  20. Ford Service Centers in Tampa Bay area

    I live in Safety Harbor, and I've dealt with Bill Currie Ford since I had my 2015 Mustang. Excellent service all around; without my asking they came right to the house to do the turn signal recall. People think I'm crazy to drive that distance just for service, but the Ford dealers near me leave...
