Yeah, I'm really not sure how they thought the maverick, which is picking up a lot of compact/midsize car and crossover buyers, was a good candidate for the Tremor package first, when its clearly more popular as a "street" car, especially given the popularity of the hybrid. I have no doubt an ST...
Its been a bit of a (mental) roller coaster for the last few years. I originally was thinking of loading up a Kia Rio around 2019ish as a runabout to keep some miles off my last car (a Fusion Sport) and let her be a garage queen/project car. Then I changed horses and seriously started looking...
I think a lot of people share your sentiments. I consider myself exceedingly patient, and good thing considering our circumstances...
I feel your pain, and it is very warranted, but honestly it is pretty hit or miss even at the biggest of dealers. I ordered from my local dealer, which happens...
Same here, and we get very wintery winters here in northeast Ohio. No salt is spared... Not one of my, or my families, cars with "plastic" chrome ever had flaking issues and we had some of them for 15+ years, all American brands (GMs, Fords, Chryslers)
I'm with OP on a love for chrome, despite...
yeah same-ish here. I've always driven ford sedans. The maverick is basically the only thing I want to buy from them now with their new lineup strategy, as I certainly wasn't going to be buying a giant truck or crossover . Its amazing they came up with something this desirable that could pull me...
Not a truck/towing guy, but I am a physics kind of guy. Isn't the frontal area limitation for trailer drag the area outside the vehicles own frontal area? as in its an additional 20 square feet outside the bounds of the maverick's in this case? I could be fully wrong if that's not how they...
Every big scheduling day that goes by without getting that magic email, I just have to remind myself that someone has to be last (hopefully not never). That said, if I keep crossing my fingers like this I'm going to get arthritis...
I'll go get my 500 bucks back from the dealer and tell them to call me when the 24s can be ordered, and I'll be first in line (again). Its already too late for the spring/summer(and probably fall) outdoor activities duty I wanted it for. If I have to keep commuting in my loaded Lincoln, I'm not...
normally I don't bother with this, but for some reason I feel optimistic today? We'll see...

🛻 Atlas Blue XLT Lux Hybrid
📍 N-E Ohio
🗓 9/16/22
🕺 Autonation Ford East
Of all the things that ford took out of the Lux package, I really, REALLY wish they would have taken out the trailer hitch. Its a stand alone option anyway, so if someone wants it they can always add it for next to nothing. I will never be towing anything with a fwd hybrid...
I stopped by the...
Ever since Lincoln showed the continental concept, and then the production car looked like 9/10ths of it, I knew I had to have it. The Rhapsody Blue Black Label interior/exterior was the only color combination I would buy. I waited and saved for years for a CPO car to meet my rather strict...
I really wish that one of the features ford had separated out of the lux package was the hitch. I have no reason to tow anything, especially not with a FWD hybrid. If it gave me a slightly better chance of getting scheduled I'd happily give up a hitch, or like, trade the hitch for the bed rails...
I understand this from a business perspective 100%, but it irritates me none the less. The maverick is proving to be a niche product that is snapping up compact car conquests from other brands that the escape, butch escape and definitely not the ranger, clearly aren't having the same effect on...
I got my hopes up for a minute after seeing all the well spec'd XLTs and Lariats getting scheduled, and again when I see that a fair few are hybrids, and a third time after reading that top dealer list and Autonation (my local dealer) is #1 in the country. But a scan through my emails from the...
This truly is a different world these days... waiting a year for a car, paying over MSRP, interest rates creeping up by whole percentage points. Crazy.
Back when I got my Fusion (around this time in 2016), it was 2 months from the day I ordered to taking delivery, I got 1500 off MSRP, and I was...
