Yes I have and knew it was a known issue but wanted to update with info directly from my dealer and see if anyone else got a call like this today.

So I got a call from my dealer today. They've been super straight with me this whole time about timing and pricing, and essentially they called to say that I may be waiting a loooooooooong time for splash guards. I knew this was on the late order list and was okay with that, but they said rubber...

So here's my thing: anybody complaining about production snags and wanting it now A. Should've realized what they were signing up for and B. Seem to not want to acknowledge getting a car made right now is insane. I'm paying $28,000 for my next car that I plan on having a while, and that's a...

So I think the Santa Cruz is actually pretty cool, but the Maverick wins out on styling, price, and fuel efficiency. My Maverick is specd exactly how I would want it at $27.5, while the Santa Cruz I'd want is about ten grand more. The interior of the Snata Cruz is really nice and looks great but...

I got an XLT Lux Hybrid in Area 51 with a bunch of options that are on the late arrival lists (spray in liner, splash guards, bed net). My dealer was straight with me when I ordered it July 9th (order confirmed 7-10 via email) that it may be a while before I hear anything, and they thought it...

Sooo...the whole idea of identifying gender with vehicle type is pretty gosh darn silly. Like what you like, individuals identify practicality in different ways. It seems the general through line with cars that get branded with being girly is "shrunken". Jeep Renegades, Bronco Sports, Tacoma...

Why Maverick in general? My first car growing up was a 94 Ranger. Parents bought a cheap used car for their son that they also could have in case they needed a truck. Loved that little guy, drove it all over. Was a great truck and I liked that it was small. I am one of those people that for the...

So this was something I debated for a while, but I decided agianst it because the safety features are really basic. If I was getting a Lariat Lux that had Copilot 360 with the enhanced technology (adaptive cruise, lane CENTERING, accident avoidence) I would do it. But the 360 on the XLT or XL...

Blech. I ordered mine with one. Didn't know it would look like that...

The quote from my dealer was "November, possibly December, and don't be upset if its January because things are crazy right now". I would prefer December. Like others, that's just extra time to build up that down payment for me, and I've got a ride in the mean time. Although apparently I've got...

So we have a 2,000 towing capacity. I don't own anything that would necessitate towing, but I'm getting a luxury package with the hitch and, hey, it's a truck, so it's fun to think about what we could feasibly tow with it. Here's what I thought of: -Small U-Haul trailer (empty weight of a 5x8...

I never felt the need to have one when I used to own a truck. Tarps are pretty useful when it gets wet and you gotta keep something dry, and also there's the back of the cab (with those neat storage cubbies under the seats) that will fit plenty of stuff. I'm more into the bed extender as a...

Yeahhhh....that's....not my style at least lol. I'm sure somebody you probably don't want to hang out with will love lt. I personally love the minimalist design of the Maverick. Has a timeless look, reminds me a little of a mid 90's Ranger.

I'm 32 now and will be 33 when the truck comes in. Getting the XLT hybrid with the luxury package, no co-pilot 360 (don't really enjoy lane assist. If the xlt offered lane centering like the lariat I'd consider), manual back mirror, and a bed extender. Driving an old Volvo now that I scored a...

Currently living in Forest Grove but moving to Milton-Freewater in a couple weeks for a new job. Doerty Ford in Forest Grove required a $100 deposit but were very forward and good to work with. Got an XLT in area 51 with the Luxury package, then added a manual rear mirror, bed extender...

Grumbles: The Co-pilot 360 features on the XLT are pretty basic and honestly not worth the extra money. Lane assist is really herky jerky and not particularly refined, and how much do you reeeeeeeallly need blindspot monitoring on a small truck? Visibility should be no problem. A wider array of...

So I also debated this for a while, and I went with an XLT Luxury for a few reasons. Firstly I just dig the interior of the XLT more. I like that it has durable cloth seats and has weird orange highlights everywhere. It looks distinct and embraces the general inexpensive/basic design. Plus you...

So I have an old Volvo 940 wagon that has been remarkably maintained over the past 30 years, and I've already got a co-worker who wants to buy it. Was gonna start offers at $3,500 and settle for $3000, and he's a friend so he gets it for $2800 which, conveniently, is the 10% down payment I'll...

I think another big point to make here when debating how/when to buy based on potential discounts or incentives is that the Maverick is a pretty budget car. Cars that tend to get multi thousand dollar discounts are usually far more expensive and tricked out than the $26,000 ish truck most people...

OK first off, couple people said I've had my 284,000 mile volvo for 30 years. It's 30 years old, but I'm the second owner who has had it through March, and I already have multiple people who wanna buy it for more than I paid. It's reliable and awesome, but because of the years and miles when...
