The longer it goes on the more likely there will be an impact. Seems like Ford wants to put this behind them a soon as possible. The UAW will get more money. However, restoring a pension system and a 32-hour work week seems like something that won't happen.
Awesome look and illustrations on the tread differences! Did you trade in the factory wheels for a credit? Congrats on the new rig!
The CrossContact LX25 we got came in at 12/32 tread, but that was sooooo much better than the factory tires. :)
In addition, Hyundai may offer a plug-in hybrid on the Santa Cruz, Honda may offer a hybrid on the Ridgeline, Dodge Rampage may be coming to the states. I too believe in a couple of years there will be serious competition in the compact truck market and folks will have options.
Thank You.
I just seen enough complaints on the factory tires that I personally did not want to take the risk of having a problem with traction. I personally cannot compare the original set of tires. But if you look at the reviews on Continential site between the two tires( Continental...
You should reach out to @Discount Tire on this forum to get a quote, which is what I did first. They guided me to the CrossContact LX25. I went to my local store with my Maverick immediately after delivery to get a figure on the trade-in/credit. At the time, Continental was offering $110 back...
Great questions. I could only speculate on the motivation of the engineers. But I've seen a better tire (Michelins, I believe) with the Black Appearance package, so I believe it was more a cost cutting issue and not really worried about getting a bit heavier and stout tire. Especially one...
Discount Tire made me an offer that I could not refuse. The OEM tire credit coupled with the Continental rebate ended up costing me a fraction for a set of new tires with superior traction, wear and warranty.
I ordered a 24 also, "just in case" and now it is being scheduled for production in late November. Our oldest son wants that one for himself now that he got to use our 23. :)
Seeing the many complaints concerning the Continental ProContact TX and observing the weird sidewall bulges upon delivery of our Maverick. I was not really comfortable with running that set of tires. I do a lot of traveling over mountain passes and see occasional snow in our travels. Plus...
Love to see another long waiter get their unicorn. :D Great color! :) So far it has definitely been worth the wait for us. The first month I did not even drive it about 150 miles. Now on a cross country road trip it has been a great companion. Congrats and enjoy!
Unfortunately, this was for the last part of the MY22 model year only and where IMO Ford introduced a lot of confusion. MY23 was back to allocations only, which I only was made aware because the @fordvideoguy was kind enough to inform us it had changed back in MY23. There was no announcement...
