This is an interesting issue. From what I have heard, the Santa Cruz has a payload capacity of 1750, but no more than 600 in the bed. So that claim of 1750 is misleading. On the other end, the Maverick can take a full 1500 lb load in the bed, or thereabout, but if you do it, it can only be...
I think that is the antenna for the Sirius x/m on the lariat lux package. That fin looks nothing like the other screw-in antenna. Totally different shape.
This is an interesting question. From what I understand, it is not done in the factory on the F-150, but rather sent across the street to a company that does them. This is in the US, not sure how it is handled in Mexico. could it be possible that all these trucks with spray-in liners are...
I am not so worried about the delay, and agree I can take off the spray in. What I was concerned about is the reservation on hold. At this point, even if I am scheduled next week, that would be a late December delivery anyways. So a couple of months up or down is fine.
I called Ford yesterday to see if I could get any info. I called the marketing number. Got the same “your order is being processed“ response, but for the first time they were able to look at my reservation. It still says XLT, even though I switched to Lariat, but I was told that that was...
What I got and why I like it:
Hybrid: this is the bread and butter option for me and the main reason for getting the truck. I have a 120 mile commute roundtrip, so economy is important. That said, I realize that for my commute the 2.0 probably won’t be that less efficient because it is all...
This is my concern too. I made the same switch and Ford still has the XLT in their system. I called the dealer and they said that the change was submitted to Ford. I think you can call Ford to make sure. From what I understand, reservations and manufacturing are two separate departments
No. I think that the Santa Cruz will have its market, and there is some overlap with the Maverick market. However, to me they look so different even though construction may be similar. The Maverick looks like a small truck, while the Santa Cruz looks like a cross-over with a bed. Also, I...
Looks like the full sized spare is the 17in steel tire from the XL. Technically the tire on the 17 is wider, so the total diameter is the same as the 18. So my question is, does full size spare = same size rim? I am thinking no.
I think that the optional rims definitely have a cool pattern. I wonder if the spare is an 18. Looks like the steely from the XL trim, so could be a 17?
the only two options I am surprised about is homelink, since it has been on every Ford I have had for the last nearly 25 years, and Sirius/ XM on all trims. To be honest, I am actually shocked about satellite radio because i would think Sirius/XM would pay Ford to make sure it is there. I know...
