  1. Poll: where is your truck?

    Mine's sitting inside the fence behind Cella Ford. I want the dealership to sell the truck to a close friend, who has a November order pending at the same dealership. The dealership wants to sell it to somebody else. It's currently waiting for one of us to blink.
  2. Dang kids!

    Lol. She's eleven? Why, that Maverick might be her truck one day! She'll be loading her stuff in it when you make her move out of the house. 😄
  3. 🛑 Dealer Memo: Ford Will Suspend New Maverick Ordering Until This Summer

    Not only labor, but also the Maverick specific manufacturing robotics and machinery that's installed in the plant in Mexico. Contracting, duplicating, and installing that in two separate plants in two different locations can't possibly be cost effective.
  4. 🛑 Dealer Memo: Ford Will Suspend New Maverick Ordering Until This Summer

    Husband was shopping for a Ridgeline or Ranger when he heard about this truck. Immediately did a 180° turn and ordered a Maverick.
  5. 🛑 Dealer Memo: Ford Will Suspend New Maverick Ordering Until This Summer

    The words left out there, but implied by the rest of the article is ..."but (new) customer orders (after January 27th) will be suspended until summer." Nothing in the article or the notice to dealers says that current orders in the system won't be built.
  6. Washing, waxing, upkeep.

    I have very little idea what most of those words mean, but they sound like fun, I guess.
  7. Saw Second Maverick in the Wild!

    Our 4 doors down neighbor picked up his cyber orange hybrid lariat this past Thursday. The HPR hybrid lariat that I ordered was delivered to our dealer on Jan 13th. We've checked it out and done a test drive, but we're waiting for my husband's rapid red hybrid FE to come in before deciding...
  8. Pre collision alert not working?

    It only alerts when you are driving at slow speed and are in imminent danger of hitting something. Mine's gone off maybe 4 times in 73,000 miles. I don't think it could be turned off by accident, but definitely check your settings.
  9. Ordering Tomorrow 😅

    Maybe. Production is ramping up. Shipping seems a bit problematic. But, yeah, six months seems like a good estimate. June and July hybrid orders are being delivered now.
  10. For rewarded my patience with an $890.00 msrp increase

    Report them to Ford. Find the copy of the email that was sent out to dealers that's floated around some of the forums and Facebook pages, and email it to your dealership's general manager (or take it in). You have a copy of your original signed order so take that too.
  11. $750 Ford Rebate?

    I wish we'd gotten one of those as well.
  12. Which is a better phone for a Maverick ??

    I've never heard the term so I can't say. I'd want something I could return if it's corrupted though. Ebay resellers and Amazon have some level of guarantee.
  13. Cracked windshield glass

    You'd be surprised to find out that traffic cops often do not have more to worry about than a cracked windshield and a chance to sniff the inside of your vehicle. Think about keeping something in your truck that verifies that you're working on it.
  14. Which is a better phone for a Maverick ??

    You're probably going to get a lot of suggestions here, but as a longtime user of smartphones, MY suggestion is to go to eBay and buy either a 2 year old unlocked model of IPhone or an unlocked Android Samsung Galaxy S9 (not an S9+) that is 'Ebay refurbished' in good or excellent condition...
  15. 1st time new car buyer, question about paperwork.

    There's a decent chance that the electronic signatures were copies of the other docs, but there's nothing at all wrong with calling the dealership and requesting email copies of those electronically signed docs. Tell them it's for your 'files.'
  16. Should I accept the phone call from a number I don’t know?

    Yeah, I'm retired, which is amazingly freeing.
  17. Should I accept the phone call from a number I don’t know?

    I stopped accepting calls from numbers that aren't in my contacts years ago. I have voice mail. My voice mail announcement says "Leave me a message, or send me a text. Otherwise, I assume you're just trying to sell me an extended warranty." Car salespeople can do that just like everybody else...
  18. Talk me off the ledge

    How do you know all of those details?
  19. Any strategies on buying a hybrid off dealer lots?

    Call a bunch of dealers and get on the sales manager's waiting list.
  20. Road bike won’t work with 2x4 hack in the bed of a Maverick

    Yes. I'm fairly sure my husband will put his pretty valuable bike on a hitch rack unless he builds the bike its own house above the truck bed. Honestly, it could go either way at this point. 😄🚴‍♂️ I mean he's buying his bicycle a truck.
