Not a bad idea! Though as a counterpoint; I've been in the back of some smaller cars that don't have that under seat space and my legs end up feeling cramped. You don't realize how much of a difference it makes to have that space to put your feet until you don't have it. Are there floor vents...
High hopes for an electric maverick, and I really hope they follow the f150 formula and just take out the engine and put a trunk there instead. Storage at one end for the grocery store, the other for the hardware store. perfect form factor. Keep the cheap and cheerful demeanor with an electric...
I think it really depends on your proportions, more so than overall height in general. Have you ever compared your "wingspan" to your height? "Typical" proportions are 1:1 but you might be skewed one way or the other, making it harder to get comfy...
Anecdotally, I'm a very average 5'-10" but...
I really appreciate how you used the lines of the fender vent to dictate the angle for the side stripe. That's great design detail. this looks fantastic.
The local AutoNation folks must have set good customer service standards for their franchises. The guys at AN Ford East by me in Wickliffe are great as well
I've been saying it for months, and now its the bitter, bitter end; Someone's got to be last. I'm pretty desperately hoping that its me. For the keypad, the rear slider, and to just stop thinking about it week after week.
The fact that the emails seemingly have yet to show up for anyone isn't...
One of my most used features, and one of my favorite things about buying Fords. I'd trade the drop in bed liner and the remote start key fob from the XLT lux package for it. The fact that every Ford I've owned has had it, even on my old 2002 Taurus, has made it second nature to use. I use it...
Intelligent access is lariat only on maverick. However you're unforunately missing the point. Being able to get in WITHOUT your keys is the point. Its not primitive, its practical. Sorry your memory is failing you
I'm seriously so bent out of shape about the key pad. I literally use it every day, multiple times a day. It is ingrained into my muscle memory to lock, unlock, and pop the trunk. I can do it faster than fishing out my keys even when I do have them on me. I've had it on all my fords for over a...
Gee captain obvious, I hadn't even noticed. But now that you mention it, both the Escape and Fusion's fully enclosed, trimmed out/lined, insulated, glassed-in rear ends pose a much higher cost of production than an empty truck bed, further buttressing my point. Thanks!
I had the dial shifter in my fusion, I liked how it looked and how it operated and how much space it saved. I'm not in the dial hater camp at all. My complaint is it was a significantly nicer feeling unit by comparison for a vehicle in the same price range. The dial in the maverick is a much...
Quite bad indeed. 3K is a huge percentage of the MSRP. At well over 30K after tax for xlt hybrid, without options, it would probably deter quite a few buyers. I'm hoping the private offer covers the entire increase, as my xlt lux hybrid order turns into previously lariat money, which is...
On this topic, I'd like to shout out my dealer for keeping me up to date with as much info as he has without me even having to ask him. Got a text with some of this same info from him after the email came in, and an honest admission that I'd likely get bumped to 24, and that he'd know more on...
Same email here. At this point, I wouldn't mind getting a '24 instead, considering if I do get a 23, it won't be delivered until nearly 2024 anyway. Glad they're trying to do right by us unscheduled masses. Love that they are aware of the ordering faux pas and are recommending both a new 2024...
Curious why they'd wait until the week of the 10th? Or do you mean that as a drop-dead before the 24 order bank opens? Isn't it usually the first Thursday of the month? Next week would be really ideal...
So, here's a fun anecdote that's on-topic.
I am an Amazon Trusted Reviewer, which gives me access to a catalogue of pre-listing products that I can request and keep, for free. All it requires of me is a review of said products after I get them. (yes, everyone I tell is jealous too, and no you...
Damn, another week of disappointment... I keep telling myself someone has to be last, which is fine, but its a real bummer now that I'm starting to think its not getting built at all. I guess reordering next month is now a pretty distinct possibility unless they do one last round to fill up the...
