I have no worry of it being any less reliable than a typical Ford, only concern would be the eventual turbo maintenance down the road. Also, the plate of spaghetti engine bay is a little off-putting :)

Congrats on your mac n cheese model! Love the color in small bursts, not something I could live with, but it looks sharp :)

Haven't sat on active X yet, but the XLT cloth was a disappointment for me. Super stiff and almost itchy, kind of like burlap. Aesthetically the cloth looks great, though.

The new ranger isn't expected until Q3 2023 now which is a huge bummer. You'll likely get a Maverick much sooner than a big bronco despite demand imo. The Mav actually has a slightly roomier cabin than the current Ranger, I say go for it if you don't need the capability of the big boys.

The demand for all chips has increased. Because they're using outdated ones on old processes that produce fewer chips per wafer that are less profitable for fabs, their orders lose priority to those of phones and other tech which use smaller, higher margin/yield chips. There are consequences for...

Maybe relying on outdated chips that get low priority at modern fabs while not maintaining sufficient inventory of very cheap, essential parts and also completely misreading market demand has consequences... Can't keep blaming prioritizing human life, have to start blaming companies' inflexibility.

The interior quality is really good. Those XLT seat covers feel really high quality. The orange accents are in real live not as orange and even the orange console inserts look fully appropriate. I now don't think that I want to even replace or remove any of the orange stuff, because I think it...

A lot of the orders here were placed pre-production... That's not a good time frame to look at. Timing will be anecdotal and difficult to extrapolate for a while.

The short answer is they don't need to

It's a mixed bag. Interior is more modern and spacious than the Ranger, but you can definitely tell it's a budget vehicle from the fit and finish. The buttons on the wheel and the (XLT) seats stand out as feeling cheap. The driving response is fantastic, it feels like an elongated crossover...

The dealer I visited for my Mav test drive is selling at MSRP but not honoring X-Plan, so that's a pass for me lol.

12 mi test drive on e87 after a fuel up of in town, country roads, and getting up to 80 on the interstate had the lie o meter showing 25 mpg for me. Had the towing package but not FX4. I feel like I could coax it over 30 with more time

Drove a 2.0 XLT AWD with the tow package in West Branch, MI yesterday. I believe it's a tester.

This is nearly identical to what I'm looking at. Congrats!

You ordered during an unprecedented global supply shortage. It would be less of an issue if they'd update to newer chips, but it'd still be slow in this crazy demand climate. Your Mav options are patience or Ecoboost.

Manual is less efficient than modern AT, so no.

Still on the fence between Mav and Ranger... Tough.

Hybrid sweetens the deal further! Lol. I'll upgrade from check to cash on that one.

I'd cut a check immediately for a Maverick Tremor with better ground clearance and that ridiculous rear end tapered.

I feel exactly the opposite. I want it to lean more capable. A lift is mandatory if I get one. I'm on board with the OP. Looks sharp.
