The initial release of the 2024 Ranger will only be a crew cab but I have read they are considering a super cab version later in the model year. It would still be about a foot longer than the Maverick but if this is true there is no way they would make that same style change to the Maverick.
I used the same product on all 4 doors and it does not affect opening and closing doors in any way. Tap it into place with a rubber mallet and it won’t budge an inch and you can remove it in seconds.
If you drive less than 5,000 miles a year or mostly highway miles then the hybrid may not be worth it. If you mostly drive highway miles then the difference in gas savings between hybrid and EB may be insignificant. Don’t get caught up in paralysis by analysis. Get what you want that meets your...
Are there any tracking options for an order prior to Ford issuing a VIN? I have a confirmed order # and completion of the vendor COVP but don’t expect a VIN for months. Is there a way to track the order status in that interim period or do you just have to wait for Ford to issue a letter? Also, I...
To emphasize a point, do not base your true MPG for either model on the dash display. The only true measure is to manually divide miles driven since your last fill up by gallons of gas purchased. That reading has always been less than the display on mine. The last tank showed over 42 MPG on...
I was not expecting much but was surprised at how well they sounded for a stock system, but it really depends on the source and type of music you are playing. I have only played from a USB drive and some stuff actually sounds great but once you get into more dense or layered recordings the...
I guess I might be the only DIBL vote. I have a SIBL but after owning it, I would prefer a DIBL. The drop in may be slippery but sometimes that’s good as it makes larger items easier to move around, and I think they are easier to clean as debris doesn’t stick to the surface as much. And you can...
Spoke with the sales managers at two locations Wednesday morning. One had 136 allocations and said they had people in line waiting for the doors to open Monday and were bombarded with rollover orders. But after that things slowed down and they still had about 35 allocations left. This dealer...
My response to the original question is yes and no. Yes if you need to add luxury packages and other options like 4K tow, etc. No if you just need a basic truck.
My 2024 build is a basic XLT with no options. That comes to a MSRP of $26,315. With destination, tax and license I still get out the...
Basic XLT EB which is luckily all I wanted. What I didn’t ask is if their allocations are broken down by configuration (you get this many AWD, this many tow packages, etc.).
Just spoke with the sales manager at a local Ford dealer and was told dealerships should have received their 2024 Maverick allocations last week. He said Ford is trying to do a better job of communicating with dealerships to avoid the ordering issues of the last two years.
This dealership is...
Almost hate to post this, but a neighbor of mine said the Ford dealership service department told her they are not expected to have the parts for the hybrid recall repair until December. They also told her to park her vehicle outside. I have a Mav hybrid on this recall so I contacted them...
So I talked with the service rep at my dealership. Ford has put out a SSM regarding the dash rattle. I was unable to get a copy as it appears it just goes to dealers. The SSM lets service departments know they can request a kit to install under the dash to stop the rattle. It is not a gasket...
I have a 2022 XLT Hybrid and will have a 2024 XLT EB order placed on the 17th. Deposit was only $100 and refundable and you can choose not to accept it if and when it comes in. After owning the hybrid I decided I would rather have the EB. I’m also looking at new 2023 XLT EB’s that are showing up...
I had a rattle in the dashboard that seemed to be coming from around the driver side vent that is close to the windshield. It was intermittent but it could get pretty bad. Took it to the dealer and they were able to drive and hear it. They told me Ford had issued a bulletin for this and it was...
I have a dashboard rattle near the driver side vent right against the windshield. It is intermittent but when its there it is very noticeable. I took it to my dealer yesterday. They test drove it and luckily the rattle appeared. They said Ford has a CSS for this problem as the rattle is coming...
Same issue here. No way to get the hood open. Took it to the dealer and they said the hood release cable came apart. They ordered a new part and will be doing the repair tomorrow.
Just anecdotal info, but I was at my Ford dealer this week. It’s a huge dealership in Northern CA. They never have Mavericks in stock for more than a day but they do have plenty of 2023 Rangers. I asked my salesman if he felt people were holding off until the 2024 Ranger release and he said he...
