Similar situation here. Expected delivery was 11/6 - 11/12. As of yesterday it had gotten moved to 11/21 but I don't have much faith at this point.
Contacted my dealer last week and they stated "it's a quality issue Ford wants to correct". Interesting Ford emails us updates on good news and not...
There are many "consumer" grade ceramic (and non-ceramic) coatings available nowadays. Those claim 1-2 years life. Following any decent youtube instruction, anyone should be able to DIY it.
THE BIGGEST concern with a ceramic coat is that you'll be "locking in" what's underneath it. So, the real...
My situation is very similar to yours. My commute is 50miles each way and hate to drive our 15mpg GX460 for a 1-person commute. I too like the extra power of the ecoboost and could not go for the 2.5l engine + CVT. (I learned it was eCTV after my order, but still).
When building my Maverick I...
More sure-footed? not really sure about that. Here's a nice article from Popular Mechanics debunking that myth.

" Sure-footed all-wheel-drive handling." That's the kind of lingo you're likely to...
Specially with the bed of this truck being so low, a scratched bed is much more visible and, hence an eyesore. To me it'd be like a scratched trunk lid on a sedan.
I live in Houston and ordered from Chapman when they had their 4% below invoice and courtesy delivery with Planet Ford Dallas. I ran numbers to fly and pick it up and it did not make any sense considering the time I'd be wasting + mileage + gas. I got a couple shipping quotes and it was in the...
Awesome! Congrats!
Could you describe your Courtesy Delivery experience? Did anyone from Green Ford contact you at all? How long did it take? Was everything ready when you arrive? Was it as easy as show up and drive off? Was the truck washed/cleaned? Was there a delivery walk-around or just a...
Nice!
But being that shiny gives the impression of being slippery. I've had some in the past where my foot kept sliding while I was driving. I was always terrified I would slip one day after coming in from rain or traying to step out with wet outsoles.
How grabby is that rubber/plastic?
I too ordered from Chapman and my vehicle is in route to its CD destination. I was very nervous about having to complete the transaction with another dealer, so this information puts me very much at ease knowing that Chapman will complete all paperwork and payment process. The CD location is a...
If you didn't put anything down to place your order, then I don't see the need to even call them. Once the order has been placed, the dealer won't cancel it. They'll just received it and sell it as a stock unit making more money. It's a win for them, actually.
I'd just leave it as is and you...
EVERY dealer in Houston I've tried to contact for ordering my Maverick has been a complete jerk. The one I ended up ordering from is playing the mystery game with my order. I would not be surprised if they try to pull a fast one they day of. Or even sell my car to someone else and tell me it...
This is a matter of personal choice. Some people just prefer some extra power at the expense of extra gas. I cannot either understand people commuting to their offices in F250, F350, F450s, but whatever suits their fancy, right? We're in America, the land of choices.
