I ordered it for my 2025...and as soon as I saw pictures of it I was like "naah, not going there. " The dealer forgot to put it on. I think they might have lost it, but ended up knocking way more than the price of it off of MSRP anyway, so I didn't complain. Kinda sad, those keypads really set...

I'm discovering that at least on the Lariat, the seats can be set to auto-heat too. So I do that and then I pretty much don't touch the climate controls after that. Which I'm happy about, because I do NOT want to fumble with those icons while driving. Not sure of that's also on the XLT.

Ahh but we don't need extra hardware to go in reverse. :crackup:

Hyundai and Kia have a few very specific powertrains that they share out. This is another reason they might be smart to put the hybrid in: the Tucson hybrid uses a standard automatic tranny. DCTs aren't any good for hauling, and they're not so hot off the pavement either (or they ARE too hot...

Plus that standard roll-up cover eating up space, and cab side of the bed being slanted, it's really more of an external trunk than a truck bed. Though I do like the hidden floor compartment.

I mean, I don't HATE the Santa Cruz...but I don't love it either. And it's still an SUV with a bed. And the interior is too nice. I think they were smart to just make the bed plastic, it makes more sense for this kind of application and saves weight. I'm not sure how much of the Maverick's bed...

Lariats get the bedliner sprayed in at the factory (well, down the street from the factory). XLTs and XLs get it done by the dealer and whatever local ship the dealer uses. Having to go down the street or whatever to get the bedliner done might account for some delay, especially if they're...

Do you have a spray in bedliner? That get done off-site by a subcontractor.

For a while the backup camera requirement meant that couldn't happen here. But now that we're seeing dashboard screens and digital dashboard s we don't need the infotainment screen to show the backup camera. Of course I just show Android Auto on my screen anyway. But some companies (friggin...

I think that fee might be something to do with if you lease through Ford.

Have to agree here, it was a discussion of business practices. It wasn't a discussion of the politics itself, but the impact on and response from Ford is important.

We're all going on double secret probation now.

They could ditch the spare tire and put the batteries in that spot. That spare tire is a pain to get to anyway, especially with a load in the bed.

That's probably what's holding them up on the Ridgeline hybrid too. That's going to add a lot of weight and lower payload significantly, which is important in a truck. Not to mention make it more expensive.

It's still a popular truck, especially the XL and XLT trims. As long as there's demand and almost no competition, the price is going to keep creeping upwards. The only way it's going to stop is if people slow down their Maverick buying. Or a viable competitor drops. The Santa Cruz doesn't...

This is the problem. Even Ford, who is known for being able to pivot reasonably fast, needs a year or more of lead time for planning purposes and making changes. These rapid, week-to-week changes are creating a difficult climate for product planning, and it wouldn't surprise me if people just...

Join the club. I think everyone would like a clear picture but the picture (and the situation) keeps changing day by day. The dealerships likely aren't on the same page and Ford is still pivoting. I doubt we're going to get much clarity until things settle down a bit.

Fast Maverick is out of business and seems to have disappeared, which gives you an idea of how well that "plug and play" swap went.

Four pages in and no one's made the "wax on, wax off" joke? I'm disappointed... :cool:

They changed that with the new digital dash. You have to turn MyView on every time you start it. Generally it only requires ticking the up button but it's still annoying and I just don't bother. You get nav cues and brake coach on the regular display anyway. Same with charge/hybrid/gas...
