As my wife worked for Ford for 31+ years we've used A-, X- and Z- plan repeatedly, and plenty of management lease when she was still an active employee. Find a Michigan dealer if you don't want any trouble. Most of the Ford dealers in SE Lower Michigan (Detroit area) could not survive by not...

Come on Ford, you don't have a second source lined up? If not you are just TRYING to create supply chain problems. There was a tornado in April 2023 in Tupelo MS that affected the Cooper tire plant there. I think they make Goodyear and Cooper tires there, probably some others as well. I have...

My own opinion is that's the best course of action. As to "not available to hold overnight" that's a lot of BS. Call the finance/paperwork person at the dealer and sort it out. All of the Ford Hybrid vehicles are not only holding their value but may be rising, so take what you can get rather...

Could be any number of reasons. A friend of mine has had one on order for a while with no sign of production yet, and then his dealer called him about one that had come in for another client but the client decided they didn’t want it. So his salesman called him and he took that Maverick instead...

If you find anything on this, I’m curious…

Oh, absolutely—my opinion. They designed a small truck to fulfill a market need that wasn’t being fulfilled, and they did that brilliantly with a great design and nobody else was serving that market. They offer a hybrid, a smart thing to do. They offer a number of trim levels and attractive...

I get it, sort of. There are plenty of people that still would like to see a manual shift transmission. When I was younger I kind of enjoyed that, and a Taurus SHO was the last car I had with a standard transmission (I bought it off the B-Plan lot in Dearborn, as we had tagged it. It had been...

Oh we checked with the dealership periodically as we have three rotating car leases. There’s very little information they have been able to provide over the past year other than the order was placed. We’ve been doing this for many years. The Maverick if it is indeed made and delivered per...

Was yours a rollover order from a prior year? Or was it a first time order made during the model year 2023 ordering. In September 2022? My dealer tells me that none of the 2023s ordered were able to be ordered with the adaptive cruise during the 2023 order period. Only the rollovers. I suspect...

What can I tell you?? When my dealer went to place the order that we gave him, which was exactly what I stated with those three option packages, it would not allow them to order the 360 copilot assist, option package 66B. We have bought dozens of cars from this dealer and we are A-plan so they...

Just confirmed with my dealer, and it's true. The ACC was part of package 66B, Ford CoPilot Assist. This could ONLY be selected when you also chose packages 86B Ford CoPilot and 54P, Lariat Luxury. So, in theory as a consumer looking at the 2023 order guide last year, it was simple: Order 54P...

Yes, @Jakb I believe has it correct. If my 2019 Ford Flex has a lot of highway miles, it has been known to go up to six months and over 7,000 miles before it tells me to "change [engine] oil soon". This past year I've had a couple of instances where it's all been short around town drives, and...

From my 30+ years of Ford knowledge with my friends and family employees, sometimes AFTER a vehicle is built, they discover some minor issue on the assembly line. First task is to fix the problem on the line so they don't make more cars that need work. Second task is to examine cars built but...

@Redline Well, there's that...and then you run into the person with the car that has CDs all over the place. On the visors, in every storage location, all mismatched, some damaged from dropping on the floor, etc. Back before I had Pandora (free) I often just packed a ton of music on USB thumb...

What's in a name? Who knows. My present daily driver is a Ford Flex. It's been classified as an SUV, but it isn't. What it is, is pure and simple: what they used to call a STATION WAGON or in more familiar terms today, an "Estate". It's just a long car with a huge cargo area OR a 3rd row seat...

Not just hybrids! My wife’s Bronco Sport, just the 3-cylinder gas engine, makes all kinds of clicks and whirring sounds just sitting in our garage. I stopped asking…

Very nicely done. Love all the things you have expertly installed. Be proud!

The dealers make some money from leasing and financing through FMCC at least; I don't know about third parties. So "paying with cash" is something they really don't like! No way to make more money on that.

I added mud flaps to my 1979 320i when it was new...only to prevent, well, mud (dirt, rocks, etc.) from kicking up and damaging paint behind the wheels. Did the trick. I never thought about any effect on mileage + or -.

@Maverickman74 that’s absolutely astounding! In decades of ordering dozens upon dozens of Fords, never had anything delivered that quickly! 🤞
