Thanks for the additional pictures! Wow, 200lbs... My friend has a 90s ranger with a fiberglass top and its light enough that 200lbs shocks me for the Maverick. For my application, a good seal will matter, and my friends only roughly seals, likely because of how often it is on-and-off (and age)...

I found that on their site. Lets hope my dealer does it...

I wish I found out about it before this year, I'd definitely have signed up. Providing the program is extended for 2023 MY vehicles, I hope more people find out! I'll report back in about a month WRT if I burned $20 or got $500 back. My price increase was $800something, so I'll be taking price...

Interesting. I save more with price protection than Farm Bureau, but hopefully I can get both. I'll know in about a month.

I find the EV/HEV/gas discussion rather entertaining. Much like the fudd discussion of 1911 vs modern tools.

I joined WA for $20 because OR was ~$140, and I have addresses in both states.

I'm giving it a shot. Worst case, I'm out $20. I wasted way more than $20 in the last week, this won't kill me. I signed up last night, ordered in November, and will take delivery in early August (or very, very late July - but with my Farm Bureau signup date, not before 7/30 lol).

I'm seeing similar for Oregon, but my sales guy says no dice. I might need to talk to the sales manager. Price protection was also a point of confusion for the sales guy, sales manager told me not to worry about it, they'll charge me the price protected amount when the vehicle comes in (he left...

Has anyone received a Farm Bureau discount recently? My dealer says its not available.

Humm, weird. I don't think that's normal, but I'm not that familiar with it, and especially not with quirks Ford may have.

It's not about losing. Both can coexist. EV's and PHEV's are really pretty great, with a big exception for range and charge time shortfalls on EV's. But not having to go to the gas station for weeks or more while you're at home and just driving around the city? It's so fantastic. I'm going to...

Ford always defaults the down payment to 10%. Wow, I just checked Edmunds and the PHEV's APR is about 2x that of a gas vehicle. Insane.

Right you are - Escape has a $6.8K incentive if you lease, $0 if you finance. That is the same amount as the IRS lists. That's good news, it wasn't the case with all brands in 2019 when I was shopping for my Ioniq. Pretty weird, IMO, because the finance company definitely gets the tax credit.

Same here!

That looks good! I like it much better than color matched. The two height variances don't bug me at all! I think you just cost me $3,250!

I am skeptical of any of the PHEV rumors, but as soon as a PHEV AWD Maverick is available, I'll be buying it. A FWD is vastly less appealing but I'd consider it, maybe. I just don't like getting stuck in light snow or mud...

Does it seem long in that it should be shorter? Sure! Is it less than mine? Yes! (Built 6/24, ETA to Portland 8/3 [I only took note of the last day of the window...they gave a week though])

In the instance of a lease, the federal tax credit goes to the owner - so the finance company. Some mfgs/finance companies pass the credit to the borrower, some don't. I want to say Ford does not, as shown with the Fusion PHEV a few years back, but my memory is fuzzy. I wouldn't lease an EV if...

What a helpful comment! I'm sure you've read the section in the OM, so you'd know it says stability control cannot be turned off, and on modern cars (since the 90s, generally) stability control and traction control are intimately linked. Without the ability to turn both off, you aren't really...

That was also a pretty useless thread, save one comment, and a few follows up of folk testing this (including the OP). I like to be able to fully disable traction control...
