  1. [Dealer Memo] Not all 2022 Mavericks will be built. Update on Maverick Retail Order Scheduling, Customer Options and Order Amendment

    I was initially so bummed when Granger changed the end-date of accepting orders for 22's, but now that I know that there was almost no chance I'd get one anyway being one of the last in the queue I don't feel so bad. And its nice that they are saying demand is so high, yada yada, but cmon...
  2. Yakima BedRock (low profile bed rack) installed with Yakima basket

    Nice, I like the aerodynamics and aesthetics of the low-profile racks. Only thing I would change is have the basket as far forward as possible so its almost touching the glass. That way its definitely out of the airflow, and you can still reach over to grab stuff from the open area of the bed...
  3. Add Bill Curry Ford to the Do Not Buy from list

    AFAIK, the chips that are used in our cars are archaic low power little chips, nothing crypto miners would be using. Crypto miners are responsible for high-end GPU scarcity, although even that you could blame on politicians that create the need for cryptocurrency (coughtrudeaucough) by...
  4. Add Bill Curry Ford to the Do Not Buy from list

    Akshully, that's a myth. :whistle: Its pretty much universally cheaper to fix an older vehicle than replace it with a new one. People replace vehicles because they want something shiny without dents and new technology and safety and prestige, not for economic reasons. For example, say you...
  5. Add Bill Curry Ford to the Do Not Buy from list

    I wish no one would pay a penny over MSRP. The only reason they can charge this nonsense is because people keep throwing their wallets at them. STAHP!
  6. Another remote start gone wrong, GLOWING CAT

    Ford legal team will advise on which is cheaper, but still probably put it off as long as possible because it will mean more delays and they already have parts shortages. If most of us on the forum know about this from multiple people documenting this on youtube alone, Ford certainly already...
  7. 2023 Ranger Raptor World Debut and Coming to US!

    Very cool, but a bit "too much" for me, not just in price that I would wager will be around $50K, but too tall and too rough around the edges. Now if they make a somewhat lower to the ground Raptor ST street truck (not slammed, just maybe Maverick height or an inch lower) that's in the mid to...
  8. Base XL Hybrid 1,500 Mile Review

    Base XL Hybrid 1,500 Mile Review with comparison to his previous loaded XLT:
  9. Kicker Hideaway HS10 installed behind rear seats

    No, I wasn't asking if it would fit on the driver's side behind the back seats, but under the front driver's seat itself. That way you could feel the bass right on your buns. For example, here's an install on a Honda Accord, with the seat pushed all the way forward so you can see it: But...
  10. Kicker Hideaway HS10 installed behind rear seats

    Nice, I wonder if you would get less rear window vibration if it were mounted under the driver's seat, or not enough room?
  11. Ultra bright aftermarket LED's & auto-dimming mirrors

    Because even the brightest lights in the world are nothing compared to natural daylight light output, so the brighter the lights, the better they work. Frankly, I would also challenge your assumption that you have a problem with bright headlights. You don't, you have a problem with excessive...
  12. For all you Ecoboost owners out there:

    Basically kind of what everyone knew, use the right oil, and every 50-60K miles you're probably going to want to have your valves professionally walnut blasted. There is a solution to this though, which are engines that are both port and direct injected depending on engine load/rpms/etc...
  13. Not seeing Mavericks in the wild... why not? How about your community?

    I still haven't seen either in Houston, and I'm on the road all the time. I do see a ton of new 2022 Tucsons and also plenty of Bronco Sports though! And its not like Houston has a shortage of pickups, every third vehicle is a truck.
  14. Can someone explain why order priorities are totally ignored by Ford?

    Yep, which begs the question, what value is the "middle-man" offering compared to just having direct sales from Ford? Research has concluded that as much as 30 percent of the cost of a car is the cost of distribution, primarily the dealer distribution and overhead and profits that the dealer...
  15. window sticker

    What I find strange is the lack of country of origin and domestic parts content information on the bottom right.
  16. So, you are now Director of Maverick Colors

    Wrangler is the new Miata. Or bonus points if the owner is driving with pink Salt Life gear.
  17. Maverick Road Trip CO -> SoCal (2,628 Miles total) : Feedback & Results

    I wonder how much lower the fuel economy will be like on the way back though, since I assume most of the traffic is heading out of California just looking at license plates in Texas. 🤷‍♀️ 😁
  18. So, you are now Director of Maverick Colors

    Literally every time you open your door to get in your vehicle, particularly since the body inside the door and pillars are painted too. The below with shades of blue and a brown are OK, but there's a reason around 3/4s of the colors people choose for the Mav are various shades of blue or are a...
  19. So, you are now Director of Maverick Colors

    In Germany there is an age old expression "Gruenn und Blau Schmueckt die Sau", meaning Green and Blue adorns the Pig, since apparently those are two colors that should never be combined. So while I'm all about green, we'd need a black interior to go with it. Blue, brown, and green would be...
