I think EVs are not viable in the long term due to the scarcity of materials, but all car makers are being pressured to build them. What I like is that Ford is building the F150 Lightning factory lines in a way that they can be quickly converted to produce ICE F150s. The stock is very reasonably...
Shortages are real, and manufacturing the Hybrid is a five dimensional craps game. When the correct parts bins are full, your truck gets built. Then the Ford allocation system causes your build to be shipped to another dealer!
I first came to MTF to see if anyone anywhere had ever received a...
I have been driving new Fords since I bought my 1984 T Bird. No serious issues with any of them.
My 2016 F150 had a couple of recalls for amazingly small things. One was that the seatbelt retractor might catch on fire! Complete bull crap. I think the NTSB has it in for Ford.
I don't generally...
I get the dealer to do it. The cost is not much different, and there is a record for warranty and ESP. My dealer does a very good job, most of the service employees have been there a decade or (much) more.
I am not a mechanic, I don't like it and I am not good at it.
No the Ford Pass is not necessary for me.
It is spyware, which I try to avoid from any vendor.
The dealer tells me they can apply points through their system when I get an oil change. This has not actually happened yet, but the dealer has been honest with me so far. They got my August 21...
Hello, I paid over MSRP, and this is how it went for me.
1- I have a really good credit score. I told the dealer that I would only pay 20% over MSRP if I got financing with 10% down. The dealer had to submit my loan request to several lenders but they finally got me approved at 8.5%. A month...
Howdy neighbor! It was 11 degrees yesterday morning on this side of the Bay.
I never had a heated steering wheel before. I figured that I had a pair of gloves, so who needed a heated steering wheel? Well, the past couple of days have made a believer out of me! On the least expensive vehicle...
I see you are located in Atlanta. I have experienced some truly amazing traffic congestion in the Atlanta area. Perhaps traffic congestion has affected your results?
I have enjoyed 32MPG over 4K miles with my EB Maverick here in rural East Virginia. We have no cities or Interstate highways...
You were an early order, so your odds should be very, very good. Only the dreaded dealer allocation can stop you now.
I misunderestimate a 65% chance of success by April 9.
Congratulations on your 30 years of marriage!
I would like to respectfully disagree with your premise that Ford has "screwed so many of the rest of us".
I do understand your frustration with how long it takes to get a Maverick Hybrid. It took my August 2021 order 419 days to be delivered. I was mad as heck at times.
But eventually Ford...
For sure she is a fine beauty!! She will look good under the tree. Or out among the trees.
Now that you have had her for a couple of days, I would love to hear how you like her.
Please step away from the Ridgelines! Step far, far back!
The Honda Ridgeline made me the happy Maverick owner that I am today. May I explain?
We ordered our Maverick Hybrid XLT Lux in August 2021. By July 2022, all we had was a couple of emails from Ford lying about scheduling. At the time...
