  1. Lesson Learned - the next time Ford does a preorder...

    I can go with this but the dealer allocations BS has to go. I'll agree to wait if the wait is based on a queue and not what dealer has the most allocations. This is dumbest thing I have heard of. Who cares where the order came from other than Ford rewarding their largest dealerships which does...
  2. Maverick scheduling week of 9/27 for production build week 11/22

    No. The scheduling is for the build week of 11/22 If you get scheduled for that week, the exact day is kind of unknown until that week arrives.
  3. What's your Maverick towing?❓Show & Tell

    I see all these posts about people wanting more towing capacity. However, rarely see a truck with a trailer other than a landscaper or a horse trailer and typically those will be Super Duty or whatever Chevy and Dodge sell. So I’m wondering what the heck do people have that they want to tow...
  4. Getting real tired of the $20k truck argument. ..rant

    Sounds like you shouldn’t if buying an object causes you this much stress.
  5. Pics: Maverick Bed Cap Topper (SnugTop) + seat covers + First Edition Maverick + Molded Splash Guards

    This part here just evokes sadness. Really distracts from the lines of the body, IMHO.
  6. Finance or Lease your Maverick?

    0.9% for $30000 over 48 months is $554. In my book, that's pretty cheap and easy to make elsewhere in that time.
  7. Finance or Lease your Maverick?

    Why not pay 0% of it, invest the 40k and let it work for you while you pay off the free money in due time? It’s actually cheaper the longer the term on the loan.
  8. Finance or Lease your Maverick?

    IMHO, If the rates are low 0 - 1.5% then you should not pay cash even if you can. That's cheap money that you can invest elsewhere and make money. Paying cash for something that has cheap credit is not ideal.
  9. [Update: No scheduling on 8/19] Maverick Scheduling for Week of 8/16 [Update: No scheduling on 8/19]

    You comment is very hand-wavey about what you would like better. Can you be more specific about what improvements Ford could make to be more transparent? What I see is Ford has said/done the following things: 1. The Maverick will be officially released in mid September. You can check it out at...
  10. Anyone reconsidering their order / purchase?

    Seems like a pretty average vehicle. Average new car price is 38k so IHMO, the pricing is inline. What I don't understand is why size == value? What I want is a small truck with all the luxury stuff including posh interior and I'll pay for that. I don't want or need an F150 or a Super Duty...
  11. Did you order Moonroof option?

    you will, yes
  12. Current Maverick Regional Commodities

    Most of the time they just peel right off. Sometime you gotta hit them with a hair dryer for a bit to soften up the adhesive. If there is any residual adhesive, you can use goo gone or WD40 to clean it off. Make sure to hit it with soap and water after that to get rid of the solvent.
  13. Overall Attitudes toward the process

    What have you seen that has been different than what you describe? That’s all I have done and now I’m just waiting on the emails indicating it’s been scheduled, built, shipped, etc… What I am seeing is lots of complaining that their truck hasn’t been scheduled yet. Also, it appears that people...
  14. Aftermarket push button start?

    The average new car price in the US in 2021 is $37,876. Mavericks are all econo boxes and are built to a price point and thus that's why you don't get all the options at all the trim levels. If you really want a feature that's available at higher trim level, you can get it, you just have to buy...
  15. [Update: No scheduling on 8/19] Maverick Scheduling for Week of 8/16 [Update: No scheduling on 8/19]

    Yes, they should have taken your DL at the time your place your order. Otherwise, Ford wouldn't accept it. They don't want nefarious dealers putting in retail order. It's smart on their part if they want to move to a direct to customer sales model and avoid insane dealer mark ups. But there are...
  16. Trying hard NOT to swear at Ford....

    When was this ever stated by Ford? I have seen many posts to the contrary and many that also indicate your conjecture about the region/dealership allocation. The dealership model is all games and who is bigger and gets more allocation. Sucks for us but unless Ford goes to a direct sales model...
  17. Carrying skis?

    Hang them out the back up on the tailgate? If you really want protection you might be able to get a roof box on the roof or put bars on the bed to run the roof box. What are you driving now? I see you're in Mass. I'm in metro west and I'm looking to sell my Thule roof box. It'll carry up to...
  18. Anyone else think interior blue is reminiscent of the 90s ford truck interiors?

    Yes, please. My current VW GTI has the plaid seats and I love 'em. We need more bold design. All the SUVs being churned out are all so Zzzzzzzzzzzz
