The average age of a vehicle on the road is over 12 years. We won't see the majority of new cars sold being Battery Electric (BEV) until 2030. By 2035 it will be hard to find a new gas powered vehicle for sale. So do the math you are looking at around 2050 before the majority of cars on the...

About 80% of Americans live in stand alone houses. And the appeal of a PHEV is that it can run on gas when the battery is depleted. PHEV vehicles don't need infrastructure. With their much smaller batteries they don't need fast charging. Which is why if Ford offers a 2023 PHEV Maverick I will...

This post reminds me of the Children's story "An Elephant is Not a Cat". I don't want a full size truck. I want a compact size truck. It doesn't matter what an F-150 costs. Ultimately an F-150 will cost more. Just like the Elephant ended up costing Pieter Vanderloon (in the story) far more...

It's harder to say what a "fair" price is on a used car. No one makes used cars. They made so many of that model that year and it's over. New cars on the other hand have an MSRP. So it's really obvious when you are paying too much.

I thought all cars have pressurized gas tanks? It's part of the emission control system. Pressurizing the tank helps control fuel vapors.

I don't mean to be a Johnny Raincloud, but I have had four build dates.. So far. I feel like Charlie Brown and Ford is Lucy... come kick this football, Charlie. Anyway, nice truck and good luck....

Wow! That is really scratched up. I ordered a drop in bed liner and the hard roll up cover but it looks like the dealer left the bed liner off by accident. Seeing your scratched up bed I will definitely get one after market. Assuming they build my truck this year LOL. I have a VIN but I've...

I ordered carbonized gray, so hope it isn't a lot of trouble as far as looking clean :) Of vehicles I've owned, black and white have been the ones that always seemed to look dirty. Silver and blue the ones that dirt wasn't not so much noticed. Shades of tan'ish color I would think would be the...

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Second click, past accessory .

Well, I haven't received this email yet but perhaps will. My scheduled build date of week of 7/25 has already been rescheduled 3x. For sure I'll know what 2023 models offer before I get my 2022. Maybe I'll be pushed to 2023. If I am I'll consider it a good thing. And if the 2023 model year by...

Yes, me too. This is the third date change for me. I hope that we have some idea of what might be new with 2023's. If AWD with the hybrid and/or PHEV were to become available, I would be very tempted to change something with my order at the last minute just to try to push the order to 2023. Or...

Thank you! Ordered one. All of these dead Maverick reports are concerning. Since I will have more than one vehicle I suppose the first year will be around town jaunts in my Maverick - when I get it.....

Yes....now that you jog the memory I believe the 4K tow package includes different final drive gear ratio and some additional cooling. Maybe the transmission? I only ordered the $150 setup since I was getting the hybrid. That might indeed be hard for the dealer to replicate. The final drive...

I check on this forum regularly. While it is impossible to know what kind of sample size we are talking about (people might come here only to report problems), it seems like this dead truck/wiring harness thing is happening way more than is reasonable on the hybrid. I really hope this looks...

Seeing as I have over the years added trailer hitches to several different vehicles I own, I believe your best choice is to just ask the dealer to install it for you when it arrives and charge no more than what the factory would. Because you try to "correct" the order at this point it is certain...

Good looking truck there! And you have already put it to work!!

The Ranger is a fine truck. But it doesn't get 40+ mpg in the city and it isn't as small as the Maverick. I actually want small. I've owned my F-150 for a decade and the Maverick will leave a lot more room in the garage and it is all the truck I actually need. But the Ranger is fine truck and...

I've subscribed to Consumer Reports since the 1980's They are really useful and the only - one of the few places for unbiased reviews. They buy the products they test just like consumers do. As opposed to the various car magazines and online sites that get their stuff from the manufacturers...

Glad to hear it was diagnosed quick and will be repaired. Hate hearing about these issues on brand new cars.

I ordered a hybrid XL and for me the biggest reason was I could not stand the looks of the XLT interior. All the orange accents, seat stitching even the damn door handles and air vents with that orange crap. It might surprise the Ford interior design team, but I don't need for the door...
