When do you apply for the $500? The dealer gave me the Ford website. But you have to have at least a VIN # I'm guessing. Do you have to wait until you actually sign the dealer paperwork, then apply?

Don't know what year Focus you had but mine was a Mk3 2012 hatchback. The whole process of getting the rear seats down flat was a pain. Could fit a surprising amount in there though. I once put a 7 foot ladder in there by moving the front passenger seat up. Loved my Focus. Good amount of power...

Maybe they live with thier parents or live in a cardboard box and spend thier rent money on thier car. :D. The most I've spent on a car so far has been my 2012 Focus hatchback. I paid about 23k for that. I actually got my 2018 Escape cheaper because it had so many discounts. I could afford a...

Don't know how they got a 0-60 time of 7.0 secs. I've seen video 0-60 of 6.3 secs for the XLT with tow package, another video of 6.4 secs and a video of 6.5 secs. But the last was done on 87 octane fuel. The Santa Cruz has more power but the heavier weight and bigger wheels and wider tires make...

To me the SirusXm was a big PITA when i had it on my 2012 Focus. Only listened to a few channels so when it came time to resubscribe, I didn't. I would get constant calls from Sirus asking me to re-subscribe. Borderline harassment. In fact many complained about it as well.

I've already been down to the dealer twice. He showed me the order but from the video I watched, that doesn't meant the order had been accepted by Ford. I'm not going to drive myself crazy or keep going down to my dealer. I'll wait a couple more weeks and then ask him if the order has been...

The Autobahn is great isn't it? I was stationed in Germany in 1985-86 when I was in the Army. I ordered a 1986 Dodge Omni GLH through the PX. It was built in (Detroit I think) and shipped to me. Had to take a train up to Bremerhaven to pick it up when it came off the boat. I was stationed right...

For an e-mail confirming your Maverick is on order?! o_O I feel bad I haven't gotten one and it's been 16 days.

I like that version of the gauges. You have to get the XLT with the FX4 package or the Lariat to get it. I think the standard gauges look kind of cheap the way they didn't put some kind of trim rings around the speedometer and the tachometer.

For those torn between Area 51 And Cactus grey, these pictures of the Bronco sports in both colors side by side should give you a better comparison of the two colors. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/area-51-vs-cactus-gray-side-by-side-comparison-on-sport.9922/

Forgive my primitive rendering here. I don't have photo shop, I'm just using MS paint for now. I'm guessing quite a few might try color matching the grill bar to the body color. Like so:

Agree. Can't tell you how many people I've seen driving with thier cell phone up to thier ear when I know darn well that they have a hands free system in thier car like Fords. I know because the ones I see doing it are usually are driving a car over $35k. I know if my sub $25k Fords have/had it...

I liked the fact that Hyundai offered the non-turbo 2.5L on the Santa Cruz, but Car and Driver tested the Tuscon (which is basically the same vehicle sans the trunk) which has the same motor/drivetrain and the 0-60 mph was 8.8 secs. Not much better than my 168 hp 6 speed auto Ford Escape (About...

I see. I thought reservations were the same as an order. Kind of like the "reservations" on the Elio 3 wheeler that people put deposits on and waited literally years to be built before Elio crashed and burned? :p

Not quite that simple. Here is a video of the process. My 95 Plymouth Voyagers spare lowered on a cable like that. The cables have a tendency to start rusting after being exposed to the winters and rain. People might want to carry a piece of mat or cardboard behind the seat to lay on while...

What is the difference? Orders are ones that are actually in the process of being built?

If you are going to buty a new car, now is the time to do it probably. Trade in values are high and the shortage of cars is probably only going to get worse. Heard there is a shortage of Magnesium now. Told my brother in 2020 he should trade in his 2008 Chevy Impala, but he said he didn't want...

Thought Ford already had 100,000 orders for the Maverick already?

Just saw my first maverick on the road today. An Area 51 XL.

Put my order in 11-1 and never got an email either. The dealer confirmed it was ordered when I talked to him about it. You can contact Ford and talk to someone to verify your order. You need the sales code & order code form your order sheet. (there is a thread about it on this site). The number...
