Still ...... crickets on my Maverick Hybrid Lariat Lux ordered from Peoria Ford on 8/7 .......
I'm thinking April hehe
Sure glad I don't NEED it or I'd be shopping the used market before year end.
This past July I did a 12 day road trip from Phoenix back to MN and WI to visit family and friends. Along the way, I noted all the broken down vehicles along the road sides.
ALL (ALL) were Chevy / GM products. All while I was getting 40 mpg from my 10 year old Fusion Hybrid with 95k on it.
Where...
Woop! There it is! I got to see / feel / sit in my first Maverick XL base model. Could have driven it, but all I did was fire it up to see the instrument cluster.
Ample room for my 5'10" 200 lb body, both front and rear. Tons of storage room for things that my wife would collect, I however am a...
Well, did a 6 week check with my dealership for some sort of order or confirmation number to assign to MY commitment to ordering from them.
Big goose egg, no speculation, no nada.
Soooo ..... I've decided to make this an every 6 week event, for my personal self amusement LoL
Who says we the...
Ordered from Peoria Ford on 8/7 and still no confirmation or order number, so I'll be giving the sales manager a call Thursday (or maybe a visit). I would think after 6+ weeks, they should have a number of some sorts for me to track.
Guess I'm the lone orderer from Peoria Ford. And my sales lady Mariah Irish was good.
Don't have my VIN# yet, but confident that the process is in action.
We bought from them before.
Cool concept, however you run into the limitations of RPM / MPH limits, at least on a hybrid version.
My current Fusion Hybrid will not run via battery 1) if there is not enough stored charge 2) if you are exceeding 43 MPH. Even with the MPH factor, you must be on at least flat or downhill...
I have a "cross country driving mode" that rivals old school truckers back in the day.
Stop for fuel, sleep when your trip is done LoL.
Duel tanks ..... get'r done!
It is a weird itch, but, it will also set this truck apart from others of it's kind. That's my thought.
The hybrid tank is what, 13.7 gal? Make that into 27.4 and you now have 1000 mile range and at a cost of about $74 at current local rates.
My thoughts in all this is 1 stop trips to the...
Been a Ford truck guy all my life:
1966 F100
1978 F250 XLT Supercrew w/dual tanks
2006 F150 XLT
2022 Maverick Lariat Hybrid (soon!)
I want to focus on the dual tanks. Just how cool would it be to have a dual tank system on the Hybrid, giving a person oh, 1000 range?
When I reserved my Area 51...
Ordered 8 / 7, Lariat in Area 51 and some of the finer amenities added.
Like many of you, its a waiting game at this point.
I don't have any immediate need as I already drive a Hybrid and get 40mpg city, so I can be calm and wait for all this to play out. My Fusion however does NOT do well at...
As soon as Peoria Ford notifies me of the Maverick trainer arrival, I'll post it up here.
If anyone hears of it before me, please do like wise. Mine is ordered here at Peoria Ford!
Anxiously await .......
