  1. South Florida Hybrid owners save on tolls

    Nope. Only for the HOV lanes on I-95 (believe me, I looked). For the few times I'm on the east coast and driving on I-95, I'll just stay in the regular lanes. But it sure would be nice if they'd expand it to Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
  2. Going to put a deposit to be able to do an order for July when the banks open at Wayne Ford in NJ

    Invoice is not the dealer's final cost; there's at least a 3% hold back, plus other incentives based on sales volume. If you want to know if you'll get invoice pricing, call 585-586-4415 and ask for Steve Miller. He's a straight shooter and will tell you over the phone if you can order a 2024...
  3. Rough Country Tailgate Assist! Overview and Install Video

    I have to remove the tie-down/ bottle opener in order to install this? No thanks.
  4. Going to put a deposit to be able to do an order for July when the banks open at Wayne Ford in NJ

    I ordered my Maverick from Van Bortel Ford in East Rochester, NY last September (the truck just arrived at the dealership). I paid invoice (you read that right: INVOICE) with no deposit (full disclosure: I once worked there) . As I'm not able to fly up and take delivery of the truck until the...
  5. New Maverick Recall: 2.5 Hybrid Engine Fire Hazard [Updated w/ Safety Recall Notice to Dealers]

    I stand corrected. And thanks for the Reader's Digest version...
  6. New Maverick Recall: 2.5 Hybrid Engine Fire Hazard [Updated w/ Safety Recall Notice to Dealers]

    As of 9:37 this evening, NHTSA shows the recall for the 2022 models, but NOT for the '23s. Since NHTSA creates and issues the recall, I don't see how Ford could know about a recall before the federal government does.
  7. Looking for Advice on Negotiating with Shady Dealership that Requires Ford Surface Care

    If you have a written agreement showing all the pertinent details, signed by you and the dealership, and NOWHERE on the contract does it disclose you have to pay $1,500 for a $5.00 wax job, then there's only one way to get them to drop the charge: take them to small-claims court. As far as...

  10. Break in vehicle for long road trip?

    And don't forget to change out the break-in oil with regular oil after the first 250 miles of driving. Oh, wait- that was for my Dad's 1957 DeSoto Firedome. Never mind... ;)
  11. Anyone else experiencing shipping delays?

    Mine was shipped 04/26, now looking at a delivery date to dealer of 5/28-6/10. This date has changed 3 times since the truck shipped. When I was selling for Ford, most vehicles shipped within a reasonable amount of time (7-14 days). But every now and then, we'd wait 4 weeks or more and hear...
  12. Jeeps got ducks, Maverick's have...

    No thank you. One dildo in the governor's mansion in Tallahassee is enough.
  13. 📊 Maverick Order Tracking List & Stats [Enter Yours!]

    Just added my XLT Hybird to the list, hope to have it in hand by the end of this month!
  14. Jeeps got ducks, Maverick's have...

    I'm up for something different. Hippos, maybe? And the original Maverick logo had a stylized steer's head, so what about a bull?
  15. Panda Motorworks Maverick Gets New Wheels and Lowered! [Video]

    Nice. Any idea what it costs to lower the truck like that- parts and labor?a
  16. Modifications to my Maverick

    Love it! But a black truck, here in Florida? No thanks!
  17. Anyone else considering not buying?!

    I bought a Chrysler New Yorker in the spring of 1980, and the bank rate then was 18% (this was before credit scores and tiered rates), so you bought or not. Maybe 5.5 suddenly doesn't sound so bad.
  18. Would you accept this custom order?

    If you have an original purchase agreement that doesn't show a $995 dealer fee (or the $199 Electronic Filing Fee, or the $500 Registration Fee), then they can't charge you that fee now. Of course, you'll have to take them to court. However, if you have nothing in writing, there's not much you...
  19. Ford Extended Service Plan Review

    I was in the business a long time, and every manufacturer I dealt with started the extended warranty on the day the vehicle was first sold new. Why? 1) Because they can, and 2) it's much easier for the manufacturer to track the original in-service date. It's been this way forever, I doubt it...
  20. Newbie question: Are ALL dealers marking up current stock?

    The dealer I purchased from (Van Bortel Ford in East Rochester, NY) did not mark up my order, but they have no inventory; it's my understanding that 100% of their allocation goes to customer orders. When you factor in the ADMs and "dealer fees" ($800-$1200) on the hybrid here in Florida, I'm...
