I am planning on installing a fold-out D-Ring on the tailgate where this one bolts on (red bolt). As long as it folds down without any overhang, it will provide the second tie-down. Anything off the edge of the tailgate will hit the damper shock.
The "free" windshield becomes a claim on your insurance. You don't pay a deductible but they can (and will) raise your rate due a comprehensive claim. I replaced one like this, they raised my rate and it stayed on my insurance for 3 years. The last couple of windshields I paid cash and did not...
I'm sticking with the 18" wheels myself. But yes, a lot of wheels will be available! I have seen quite a few posts about people planning on upgrading their wheels after delivery to aftermarket.
The two items you have that are constrained are:
Spray In Bed Liner
Hard Roll Up Tonneau
I had the same Tonneau cover and Splash Guards removed on mine to hopefully speed up the process. There are only a few builds with spray liner as a separate item that have been selected. But not many, as...
The spray in will absolutely protect your bed. It's part of my Lux package so I am stuck with it. I am not sure if the spray-in bed liner is slippery so I may go with a bed mat too.
It does have the Maverick name on it.
Congratulations to all who got scheduled today!
It is very encouraging to see Hybrid and Lariat Lux on the schedule for November.
Many of us are still waiting but we see some light!
They haven't said for sure! I keep thinking about the statement "targeted 40 MPG". They have played it very close to the vest. Maybe they don't want to tell us it is 39 MPG!
I think Ford is going to make a splash next week - they probably have better numbers like 41 MPG they are going to drop. No one would set a manufacturing date without full approvals. They can't "roll it out" without all things in order...
I'm sure many were converted orders but the dealers would easily be able to enter a second order in your name. Some people have ordered two trucks - one fellow already has two build dates! They really want Hybrids so I would not put anything past them.
Your dealer may be trying to grab your Hybrid order. He will not cancel your Hybrid order if you change to EB. They can't order Hybrids for stock. What if you get scheduled soon?
Hybrids have left the plant already so that seems fishy. They have not been released to customers but that all does...
