  1. If they made a full EV Maverick, would you buy, switch? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Can't argue that. It's definitely easier to carry gas cans to fill up after 600 miles. We don't really get many hurricanes in Nebraska so we haven't had to do that. Towing will suck in an EV but I don't do that very much other than taking the boat to the lake. It'll also be a while till...
  2. If they made a full EV Maverick, would you buy, switch? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Everyone's calculus is different. For us, it is worth it. At the time, her Model Y was just about $9k more than the Explorer she was looking at. There really isn't any risk of ownership... at least till the warranty runs out next year. After that, well, we'll see. We aren't really known for...
  3. If they made a full EV Maverick, would you buy, switch? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I don't know. Our Tesla Model Y is a lot of fun to drive (my wife's car, actually) and road trips are easy though it does take longer (took me an hour longer to make the trek from Nebraska down to Shreveport, LA than it took in a rental van (had extra people with us) a month prior. I can tell...
  4. 2023 Order - Best Deals/Dealerships

    Well, kiss my biscuits! Granger Ford is just under 150 miles from me!
  5. New EV 7,500 rebate could it change people from ordering now?

    Yeah. I'm getting the Lux package and am curious how Ford does on their approved highways compared to Tesla on all roads. Maybe I can find a road nearby that Ford will work on and I'll do a side-by-side comparison but posting videos isn't really my thing...
  6. New EV 7,500 rebate could it change people from ordering now?

    TLDR (but you'll miss the best part...): We stop every 3 hours or so and charge for 15-20 minutes except we stop for 30 minutes for lunch while it charges as well. We had free Supercharging so the cost was $0. It was cheaper than gas when we DID have to pay for it but it was only a couple of...
  7. New EV 7,500 rebate could it change people from ordering now?

    We paid $500 for the charge connector and $500 for the electrician. That wasn't free, of course, and definitely fits into a calculation of expense over time. We didn't HAVE to install a charger. We could have just used the 110V there in the garage and charged at a whopping 4 miles of range...
  8. New EV 7,500 rebate could it change people from ordering now?

    It literally costs us $0.04 per mile to charge at home... My F150 costs me $0.20 per mile in gas which is 5 times as much. My electricity is $0.12 per KwH so I suppose it could be higher for some people. For me, it's WAY cheaper to drive the EV than my F150. Tesla chargers are available...
  9. LIFT, LOWER, CAROLINA SQUAT?!

    Carolina squat may just be the dumbest look in a vehicle of all times. I've seen it so extreme I couldn't figure out how they were seeing the road in front of themself.
  10. No End In Sight for Inflation

    Most of that is driven by supply chain problems. Your production workers can't make cars if there aren't parts for them. This isn't because of workers producing less because of some fault of their own but rather it is because they are not allowed to produce more (because of parts constraints...
  11. Why have a tachometer

    In a relatively quiet vehicle, in the snow, it is helpful to see if the engine (and thus wheels) is speeding up unwarranted. nobody wants to be stranded in the snow or stuck on an incline because of ice. But, we DO want to know if we are sitting there spinning our wheels.
  12. Hybrid vs. Ecoboost: Opinions and why? I have a boat and popup, plus 45mile 1-way commute.

    Popup campers are trailers. The camper top is lowered for aerodynamics but raised for comfortable camper. It seems you are thinking about a slide-in camper... which can, I suppose, be considered pop-up style sometimes.
  13. First Maverick Tremor Hands-On Walkaround Videos Are Here

    Does the FX4 package have metal skid plates? The Tremor version does, right?
  14. Is this a Maverick?

    He's about to lose his duck. How to pick up a duck
  15. Ford to drastically cut vehicle configurations and options (Article)

    If Ford only offered the following choices: 7 different paint colors 2 interior colors 2 transmissions 2 engines 3 different graphics/shocks/skid plates They would have 168 different configurations... Now, how many different grey colors do they need?
  16. 2023 Ford Maverick Production Start Date Pushed Back Several Weeks

    The graph makes sense if you shift the titles one column to the right. It sucks, but it makes sense.
  17. Ford to drastically cut vehicle configurations and options (Article)

    ... and a better brake than a leather strap around the axle!
  18. Maverick Delivered

    Looks good. "I'm jelly" as my kids would say (jealous). Though, I suppose envious is more appropriate... LOL
