They could have, but then people would be complaining about sub-par crash results and structure. I know 5-6" may not seem like much, but when you are talking about crash, it can be the difference between 5 star and 3 star or less.
All Mavericks will be assembled in Mexico in the same assembly plant that Bronco Sport is produced.
The lack of thorough journalism these days. Forbes needs to go one step further and clarify that is assembly location for only the engines/ powertrains, not final assembly point for the entire...
I may be wrong, but I don't think it works that way if the spray-in bed liner is part of a package as that is performed at the factory. You'd have to opt out of their of the Luxury Packages to gain it as a stand-alone option, in which you would simply not select the option.
I prefer it to be...
I like the Cyber Orange color, just not sure I’m bold enough to actually purchase it! 🤣 It appears just a yellow-orange from a distance, but up close it’s got some nice depth to the color. We were parked next to a Bronco Sport in that color and I saw a Ranger in that color driving by the...
I figured there would be limited soft touch surfaces. I’ve seen some YT channels mention it’s plastic, but not necessarily super cheap feeling. Most has nice textures and I think some is some sort of recycled material type woven texture that was mentioned to feel decent for the segment and price...
That would be up to you.
For me no, but for someone else, maybe enough. The sides of the bed space will still be susceptible to some scratches depending on what you'd be hauling back there.
Those sneaky bastards updated it. For the past week, and up to early this morning, it always showed the way I described it. Just went and tried again and increases the base price from going from Hybrid to 2.0L. The price on the option when selecting on the B&P still lists an additional $3,305...
I like spray in with bed mat option for additional protection or easier on knees. Sometimes, I'm assuming it will be rubber, gives some additional traction on certain items even over what spray in provides.
I have a 2019 Tacoma. Do many test drives or rental prior to purchase if it is on your short list and you are considering. After 2.5 years, I finally needed to use the rear seat on occasion. If you need to use the rear seat, it is tight fit. My 2007 Honda Civic Si sedan has more leg room in...
You have to "read the fine print" and watch the price change.
For example, Lariat Hybrid starting price is $25,490. Switching to 2.0L EB, adds $1,085 for a total of $26,575. Add in AWD, price increases an additional $3,305. Being AWD requires 2.0L EB, they need to go together for a total of...
I thought Area51 was going to be the color I choose, but just doesn’t seem to work well on Maverick for me as I thought it would.
I saw a Velocity Blue Ranger the other day, it’s a decent blue. Not a shade I’m drawn to, but I did think about it for a few mins. It’s bright in the sunlight. I’m...
Yes, I love Rapid Red in photos and in person. I’ve seen Hot Pepper Red as there are a few 2019 Rangers around town in that color. I don’t like it nearly as much as Rapid Red. Hot Pepper Red has an orange undertone in sunlight that I personally not a fan of, but that’s me. Rapid Red is more of a...
Cactus Gray and Area51 have similar color characteristics based on lighting. They are very dynamic colors. Almost a pearl type color as they are not metallic. Brighter in direct sun and more muted under cloud or shade. Area51 is very similar to my 2019 Tacoma with Cavalry Blue exterior color. I...
Exactly. The auto industry has always been changing something or adding a small feature each year to keep things “fresh”. I know I’m going to be kicking myself with color choices after second and third year, but oh well. Buy what I need now and be done. I’ve played the waiting game in the past...
If I wasn’t so umm, fancy, to be drawn to Lariat, Lariat Luxury, power hungry and wanting AWD this time around. I would for sure rock a Hybrid XLT, XLT Luxury, Power Moon Roof, Ford Co-Pilot360, Molded Front and Rear Mud Flaps, Tonneau Soft Folding Pickup Bed Cover, Full Size Spare and All...
Ford sure did leave the door wide open for other on and off-road variants. This product has the potential to appeal to a seriously wide range of types of customers.
I thought that was strange. I figured they would have been optional on XLT and standard on Lariat. I like them as they do light up the foreground a little wider, but not necessarily going to miss them.
Probably wouldn’t lift right away. FX4 and it’s tire package would provide enough clearance for my needs out of the box. Curious to see what aftermarket does in that regards. If I were to lift for some reason, it would be 1” or slightly less.
I actually wished I could get a fully loaded Lariat, with all current option/ feature set, but with cloth seats. I mean I’ll still purchase, but just my preference. I’ve always had good luck with cloth interior looking much better after 10-15 years than leather type products. I like the Lariat...
