I am near 7k miles on my AWD with 4k. City mileage if you spend time at lights is really bad, 15-20, but that is expected when I sit as much as drive. ( this is with being easy on the pedal and watching the mpg meter) This is the main reason I am looking forward to my Hybrid.
Country roads...
I would chalk that up to the W column, either enough other people dropped them, or Ford had more than anticipated for parts, either way I would look at it as a positive.
My .02, wait for a good sale at Real Truck and purchase there. Every single call and correspondence I have made has been fantastic. I tried a budget Lund tri fold from them, which arrived damaged. I though I could get replacement parts but I was given the option of replacement or exchange, so I...
They won't install it but you can get the switches from the dealer and install yourself and use Forscan. Better than the Rostra IMO, you can't even tell it didn't ship with it installed.
Probably 60%. Off in mornings and evenings, or when the temp was ok and sun was behind clouds. ( really could of cut it off more, but my phone mount rests in front of a vent and keeps my phone nice and cool when charging )
Just drove about 24 hours North to VA and 24 Hours back to Texas. Speed limits are crap up north, but no issues with Texas at 80+, and passing at that speed ( huge change from my old 4 banger Toyota that sounded like it was going to explode any minute with the slightest hill at any speed over 70...
Thanks for the clarification. I assumed since I had a VIN they would just kick the can until they have the parts, but it has been a bit muddied on what the situation is. Hoping to have it before Carvana craps out, they offered 10k over on my current Eco and while my interstate MPG is phenomenal...
Update, I still have no window sticker so I contacted Ford Chat today.
Expected build Week of September 5th, anticipated deliver September 23rd.
Doesn't this conflict with Ford not building Hybrids for 5 weeks or whatever ?
I hope you are very wrong, competition breeds innovation, and even if it isn't your cup of tea, it keeps Fords foot on the gas in development.
Personally, I don't hate them, just no hybrid and the price turned me away.
Anyone saying their truck doesn't have the seatbelt issue, this is on the smaller screen dash. So if you have FX4, or a Lariat Trim, I believe you don't have the issue because the screen is larger. Non FX4 and lower trims have a small screen and it is absolutely obnoxious.
@respi133 got my...
Update 7/12
Worked with Real Truck today. I am going on a big road trip so wanted a solution before the weekend.
Ended up purchasing a Bak MX4, and will be returning the damaged Lund for credit in the packaging that the Bak comes in.
Not happy with with Lund overall, but Real Truck has been...
Sounds like as of next year your son will be in the back less frequently, so if you are buying a "til it dies" don't limit the next few years for your son over you and your wife IMO. ( and you can always take the Edge on long trips if need be right ?)
I wouldn't want to be in the back of my Mav...
echoing the take delivery and flip it when you get what you want or trade it. You should have positive equity driving off the lot for the foreseeable future.
@Johnxkrn had one for sale, maybe he can check before its shipped or direct you to the buyer to ask ?
I haven't done this yet but had it on my to do list, cheaper parts may move up that timeline.
Contacted the seller just to get an update:
Hello, I appreciate you contacting me. There was a little mistake in the mold development of the factory before, and the product mold was re-developed. Now the product has been produced and is being sent to our warehouse. We can arrange a fast...
