Oh yea, by the way ..... my truck was on that same train :cool: Wife and I will be heading out to Peoria Ford tomorrow afternoon to "hopefully" close that deal out and trade our Fusion Hybrid in.
So I get this msg from Bell Ford yesterday via text. I had initially stopped at Bell Ford last August, but went with Peoria Ford because Bell was clueless about the Maverick at that time and we had prior dealings with Peoria.
"Hey, c'mon in! We have a Lariat Hybrid in and available!"
We're...
When I was at Peoria Ford, I asked the sales rep how many Maverick orders had they taken so far.
The answer was a shocking 10. 10!
He said the F-150's were still flying off the shelves, but the Mavericks were shockingly slow.
I was quite surprised to be honest.
Ok, I FINALLY managed to get out to Peoria Ford for a face to face update on my Mav Lariat Hybrid.
Recap:
- ordered 8/7/21
- told build is scheduled week of 1/20/22 on 12/30/21
- emailed sales and customer care last week, could hear a pin drop
My sales person didn't get in until later in the...
I tried but there was a ton of traffic and couldn't get close enough.
I DID see on the passenger side of the rear window, a large white decal of some sort!
To the owner of the Grey Maverick ECO that was driving east bound on the US60 in Tempe, exiting on Mesa DR, at about 2:45pm on Friday the 4th .......
Lookin' good !!!!!
That was my 1st Maverick in the wild sighting :cool:
Yep, I still get a solid 40+ mpg out of my 2011 Fusion Hybrid. That will be the easy part in owning the Maverick Hybrid. The hard part, is actually GETTING the Maverick Hybrid ......
Never received a VIN, so I'm under the assumption the scheduled build hasn't taken place and I was either given bogus info OR it changed and they didn't tell me.
Thus an in person visit is in order in my mind hehe.
Well ...... Still nothing on the build I put in for on August 7th for my Hybrid Lariat.
The last I got from the dealer (Peoria Ford) was December 29th, saying my truck was scheduled for build the week of January 20th.
So I do believe i'll do an in person visit with the dealership next week. I...
Well, this upcoming week is supposedly when my build was to be scheduled.
I'm holding some voodoo ceremonies to help make this happen :)
- I have ordered and received my blind spot mirrors for the side mirrors (always use these)
- I have my Browning GMRS antenna
- I have my Diamond NMO antenna...
I don't doubt the integrity of Ford to the point that I'd not order their hybrid.
In fact I have ordered the hybrid Mav. 10 years will get me to 74 yrs old, I'll make sure I
leave a note in the glove box with instructions on what to do in case this happens to it :)
That way the next owner will...
Kinda a low move on the part of the auto companies if you ask me. Yes, they would have loved to have gotten $7,000 out of me for a new battery.
My re-programming cost was $175, and it actually did the trick!
My Lariat Hybrid order was placed 8-7-21, and I inquired to my dealer after new years.
They came back in email and said it looks like i'm scheduled to build the week of 1-20-22.
So this is all I have to go on for now.
Currently driving a 2011 Fusion Hybrid. At the 10 yr mark, the hybrid system showed that it was failing, and the battery wasn't charging anymore.
After researching if this was a common problem, I discovered that it appears that Ford programmed the on board computer to consider the hybrid system...
