Damn you guys are really getting into it.
I am getting a 2.0T - for safety of my engine, I prefer to change more frequently than required. It is cheap insurance in case what I view my use is heavier than what is typical for the truck.
I plan on using 5W-30 full synthetic. I have used...
Definitely quite lucky! Hopefully those additional items you want you can add in later! I have two orders (one XL and one XLT, not sure which I want) that neither have been scheduled (both in June). But guessing my options just aren't palatable to ford!
Oh how interesting! I have a few questions for you!
how was pulling the door closed with those handles?
How is the viewing angle from the drivers seat? Any big blind spots?
You noted it was good on road noise - compared to what vehicles have you been driving to compare?
how “upright” are the...
That is one of the most absurd things I have ever read. Trucks are commonplace nearly everywhere. Hell, my neighborhood I would bet there is a truck in every 4th driveway.

The extra safety features + powered mirrors are always welcome IMO.
eh I would say power window would be nicemost of the time(not all of the time) and someone may find a “hack” to add those parts. Won’t be cheap either though.
Funny how we differ! I would like to NOT have one so I can have direct access to motor. I do a lot of my own maintenance and that means under the hood every 6months
FWD will drive fine in the snow with snow tires. Sure AWD would be SLIGHTLY better (with snow tires) but its the tires getting you the traction.
But yes, I hope that the maverick fits what I want. I cant wait to test drive to see driving noise, materials, etc. I am coming from an SE Focus so...
Alternatively you can join the mustang club and get XPlan which is effectively invoice. Just to note you have to be a member for 3 months before it takes effect (I.e. take delivery and sign paperwork ). You do have to notify dealers that you are XPlan while ordering as well, just an FYI
