  1. The dreaded email from ford

    Im not an expert but if you get a printed copy of your DORA what you want versus what's on order will be listed. Don't trust dealer to make the correct order. One needs to follow up on your own and go line by line on your DORA.
  2. Fuel door push-to-open conversion?

    Where you got the complaing part is a mystery. I only pointed out the car companies added features and bundled for $$$ Any one who has to have P.S. because they feel it's a safety feature has no business operating a motor vehicle on a public highway. The nanny state has even taken over minds.
  3. Fuel door push-to-open conversion?

    Im not complaining only pointing out if one has only known electric everything how can you actually make an informed choice. You have no option other than to buy 60, 70 year old car. Is power steering necessary..no, elec windows necessary.. no are they convenient yes. Do I like them yes. My...
  4. Fuel door push-to-open conversion?

    While I agree in general it's what society want electric everything, its really what a couple generations were brought up on. Once upon a time Power Steering, Power Brakes, tinted windows, options like this were all stand alone. These started getting bundled. According to Auto companies reduce...
  5. Symbols instead of letters is pain for old folks

    Adaptive cruise boy I despise that. Wife's car has it. Turn it off defaults back on GRRR
  6. Symbols instead of letters is pain for old folks

    Guess point I was trying to make if you don't know how old things work how can you design interior controls so people that grew up in 40's and 50's and 60's are comfortable. Believe or not people over 65 buy vehicles. I really dislike controls on LED screen one has to divert there eyes to...
  7. Symbols instead of letters is pain for old folks

    Well they are hiring people that cannot read a dial clock or how a rotary phone works. Sooooo
  8. 22" wheels on Maverick... there's such thing as too BIG

    Maybe not exactly what I would do. But owner is happy. Blue looks really nice.
  9. Anyone else keep bouncing back and forth on what trim to get? I thought I had it figured out!

    For my self the brown vinyl seats in the Lariat are just no in Florida, prefer the XLT wheels over the lariat wheels as well. Don't mind the orange trim in xlt heck people are buying orange mavericks. This is an experiment for me as well. Never had a hybrid or battery powered anything. No...

  11. LIFT, LOWER, CAROLINA SQUAT?!

    Sadly that can be followed by the owner, asking what are you staring at? What would be the correct answer?
  12. LIFT, LOWER, CAROLINA SQUAT?!

    Sweet you don't mince your words. But yes first time I saw that I was what the F... started thinking maybe truck was in an accident. Because no one would do that on purpose.
  13. The hybrid fake engine sound is annoying, thank goodness there's a fix

  14. What should Ford change on the 2023 / 2024 Maverick

    I was thinking of screen over center stack. One could make their gear selection choice there instead of shifter.
  15. What should Ford change on the 2023 / 2024 Maverick

    Funny no where in my reply did I mention linkage being moved. I know better. Even the stalk shifter of only few years ago acted just like a rotary.
  16. What should Ford change on the 2023 / 2024 Maverick

    so lets save some more money and get rid of the silly rotary shifter and free up some space. All one is doing is telling which VFS to turn on or off.
  17. What should Ford change on the 2023 / 2024 Maverick

    Really?.... all it does is make a micro connection so the computer can shift into the gear you desire. I guess being brought up on manuals one gets use to a real shifter.
  18. What should Ford change on the 2023 / 2024 Maverick

    Why not get rid of the useless rotary shifter. If a real shifter is too much money. Put the P-R-N-D-L on the LCD screen. Once keys goes in or you push the start button this selection lights up. Make your choice. The 8 speed could then have a Manual option with paddle shifters. This may free...
