All due respect -- regarding the Maverick, the dealerships didn't have to do much. Most orders were over the internet. Myself, I walked into a dealer and ordered in person. I certainly knew more than the salesman about the Maverick and it Only took about 20 minutes.
They WILL make a profit with...
I looked at the positive side of the battery under the seat. It will prolong the life of the battery and although we lose some space, Hybrid owners have a much better option for a DIY 400w inverter. From the beginning I planned on installing an inverter and connect it directly to the battery...
Funny, that's the exact Maverick I took my wife to see, feel and touch. It had 5k added to the sticker and I just can't understand why anyone would pay more that MSRP? I'm sure this is the truck you saw in North Port below. We did order our Maverick Hybrid based on how pleased we were with that...
I too have a vintage Jaguar XJS were the battery is in the trunk and it is vented. I always thought it was because the gasses were corrosive. If so, a battery under the seat would corrode anything metallic stored under the seat, yes?
Before I ordered I read everything I could find. I read somewhere the passenger seat was power but no Maverick model or package has that. Because the last thing I need is heated anything here in SW Florida there was little practicality for the Lux Package in my case. Also, since my first post on...
When and if I get my Hybrid I plan on Badging it with what you see below. I too aligned the HYBRID with the top of the tail light.
I told my wife they were delivering the Maverick today. She got all excited until I told her it was the "Maverick" lettering I ordered coming today.
LIFO would/should not apply to the Maverick. These are "made to order", not "stock" units. IF Ford is blocking in any Maverick on any storage lot with a truck that was recently "made to order" that's just WRONG! I see the business logic for stock vehicles but I'm pretty sure I speak for most (if...
Actually one could buy THREE base model Mavericks for the price of ONE base model Rivian . . . . . and have money for the tax for all three . . . . and not have to worry about needing a charge!
Personally I think that's an ugly front end on that truck and can't figure out what it remines me...
I sure hope your order got to Ford as this is the kind of salesman that is out of touch with the Maverick.
Back in October I called a Ford salesman (that I knew for well over 20 years) to make an appointment to come in with my wife to see and order a Maverick. I was waiting until we could see...
And just too much truck! Ford named it Maverick because it's the first HYBRID compact truck and about 70% ordered it because of that -- yet Ford is smart enough to satisfy a broad range of folks that just like a smaller truck that does what the big trucks do. Can't think of a more versatile...
I think that circled area is the relief vent for the cabin pressure - - somebody will correct me if its something else. I plan on using it for what ever I can get back there, like a tarp.
All-in-All, in November the Hermoslla plant made more Mavericks than the Bronco Sport. I think there is a little hope when 58.3% of production were Maverick trucks.
I also wonder if some of those 13k units were waiting on a part that could be installed after the truck went down the line, like...
I made a decision with upper management (my wife) to sell our 7 year old luxury car that we bought used for 19k three and a half years ago. CARVANA gave us 21k for it. So we got paid $2,000 to own and drive a car for 3.5 years (with me so far Dave).
We ordered a Hybrid Lariat with a few options...
Thanks for pointing that out -- I wish YOU would have been the salesman standing there when my wife pointed out the seat was too low! The salesman said only the Lariat had power seats. l do know that is true but he obviously didn't know the standard seats can adjust up and down. Don't know if...
