1970, one owner, only 245,000 miles. Inquire at the Beller Museum, Romeoville, 331-888-1225 I wonder if there are actually any "two Maverick" owners, old and new? I saw this recently when touring the museum and well, couldn't resist! ;)

One reason, just one, why we lease all our cars. Something like this is irrelevant. In the past 18 months, we've "turned" three lease vehicles for three more, and in all three cases we "made money" on the transaction as the lease end value was much lower than the market value. On a hybrid Escape...

Relax. S&$@ happens. We got a new Bronco Sport two years ago. Our dealer in Michigan drove it personally the 600 miles to our home in NC. A 10+ hour drive. It was fine. Four hours after taking delivery my wife took her new car out for an errand, and about six miles from the home, the...

My Lariat came with Ford’s version of a spray in bedliner. I never have considered this to be anything more than pretty heavy duty paint… which is why as soon as I got the truck, I ordered an inexpensive rubber mat from Amazon. Flymotor Custom Fit Car Cargo Mat...

From what I understand, dealers generally employ a third-party entity to deal with out-of-state registrations. This may be the case since you bought the car in North Carolina and are registering it in South Carolina. We leased our Maverick from our dealer in Michigan, and we are in North...

I have a 2023 hybrid. Neither of the sequences mentioned here tried repeatedly worked. I don’t really care about the chime, but this warning shows up regardless of whether the seatbelts are attached or not. I get in my car. I attach the seatbelts and the sign still stays there for quite some...

Make no mistake, the dealer is well compensated under X-Plan, or A-Plan, or any of the other Ford discounting plans. It takes the unpleasant negotiations out of the equation. My dealer, Pat Milliken Ford in Redford, MI (one of the larger Ford dealers in the nation) does a majority of its...

You were an anomaly. Seriously. My wife's 2023 Escape, which was built in Louisville on July 20, and my Maverick, built in Hermosillo on August 25, both arrived at the Michigan dealer ON THE SAME DAY which was October 3. In the case of the Escape, no reasons given as to the delay in shipment...

Good question. I don’t know. I simply have not set up the auto lock auto unlock yet. I despise having auto lock; I will decide when to lock and unlock my car. Regardless, I simply walked out of the car, shut the door and it was locked. I needed to get inside and it was locked. I searched for the...

I get it, and the reasons for keyless entry. My wife would prefer sometimes to lock her purse inside, something I'd never do if I had a purse (or a laptop bag)...I've had keyless entry for years and never used it and in fact with the dealer we programmed it at delivery; the first time ever I've...

My point on the trailer tow was that the manual says go to the truck, the truck says go to the manual, and in reality the accurate data is in a third location. It's about what I expected. If I wanted a 3500-5000 pound capacity I would have bought something bigger!

Well that's not a safety feature, it's an annoyance. I was able to turn off the "check rear seat for children" message.. This is nuts.

Two comments one question for those far more experienced that I am (two week owner). 1. Comment: you can lock your fob for keyless entry in the car. This is a new one on me, my prior Fords (mostly Flex but some others) this was impossible. If you had a working FOB inside the car, you couldn't...

Some on this forum have disputed what I say here, but here's the story on this from my dealer. First understand that the ordering period for the MY23 was exceedingly brief before it was filled up beyond what Ford thought they could build. Even that was wrong as some 2023 orders, placed last...

My wife entered as a grade 6. I think all the salaried and hourly folks get some discount today. But the local dealers don't know or care. Pat Milliken knows who butters their bread. That's why we use them.

I live in North Carolina. I moved here in 2020. My wife worked for Ford in management for 31+ years. As such, we are entitled to employee and retiree pricing. We don’t pay MSRP and never did and we have always been discounted according to Ford’s programs. The dealer we use in Michigan has most...

Ford is totally out of control on quality, and has zero ability in the Parts procurement department. Our bronco sport had a recall on cracked fuel injectors. Part one of the recall was an inspection to see if the injectors were actually cracked. Part two was replacing the injectors if they were...

Mine was reported as built on August 25. It was at the CSX Automotive Services in New Boston, MI (rail car unload point) on September 14, a location about 12 miles from my dealer. It spent about two weeks there, and was then moved to an undisclosed location in Canton, MI, on or about September...

Red Carpet lease through FMCC. Not an option in your poll.

I don't know about you guys, but my FordPass App keeps accumulating points, so I have not paid any cash out of pocket for an oil change in as many years as I've had FordPass. I go to the dealer, preferably one with QuickLane, tell them I want the works, and it's taken care of. I use this on all...
