Speedometers will always ( unless they have Police calibration ) read faster than actual speed. There are laws that cover that, basically saying the speedometer cannot read slower than actual speed. But the concern over more miles showing than actual isn't related to the speedometer, the...

Some rearview mirrors ( don't have my Maverick yet so don't know about it) have a short stalk they are mounted to. You can raise the level of the rear view mirror quite a bit if it has that setup.

I would be happy with 1-2 mpg less than the dash display shows! At 40 mpg that is actually fairly close percentage wise.

As far as filters go....Micron is the measure of how small of a particle the filter will allow through the filter media. Has little to do with extended drain interval. Why would you want 40 micron size particles to stay suspended in your oil ( compared to 20 microns, a common benchmark) just so...

Wow! Way more BS than fact in this thread!!! If you don't have an oil sample analysis readout to PROVE your theory about oil ( and filters...) you really cannot say you are correct or full of BS. An oil analysis will tell you if ANY fuel is getting into your Ecoboosts oil, will tell you if...

Not exactly/fully correct. True that the Dealer does NOT hold the "Title" with name of buyer and seller and so on. What the Dealer holds is even more important. The "CO" or Manufacturers Certificate of Origin for each vehicle. This is NOT easily replaced. This is what is taken to a DMV to GET A...

I am pretty sure this IS a warrantable repair. Either part of the powertrain or specific to the hybrid system ( warms the battery pack). Make sure you talk with the Service Manager, not just a service writer about this.....

Dealer allocation is for BOTH sold retail (custom) orders and stock orders. Fleet orders are not in this allocation, and are handled quite differently from stock or sold orders.

Funny thing is...a $70K sale often has little more profit than a $25K sale. At least not 2 or 3 times as much as the price might make one assume...... The problem with MOST sales people is that their hands are tied on what information they have available. Until you get to the level of those like...

Do what you want, at the moment we are still allowed to work on our own vehicles! But take a moment to realize adding an inline filter might just kill your transmission. Regardless of good intent, that filter might just be adding enough restriction to increase heat and decrease lubrication in...

If we were always right, forums would be NO fun at all! You have earned my respect with this statement! The SERVICE department gets paid by Ford to PDI the vehicle, not the SALES department. There IS dealer holdback (3% of invoice pricing) that is paid back to dealer once sale is reported...

And...Ford pays for the fuel fill up........not the dealer.

IF, and that is a big IF, Ford is running out of buildable EB Retail orders, there could be some fleet builds get scheduled. But my experience tells me that Ford will start to build Dealer Stock EB's before they get too carried away with fleet. As in you would see quite a few Non Special Order...

@BradnChristine, I run the Patriot braking system by Blue Ox. Would not buy that again. Looking at the conversion to the Ready Brake mechanical system for the Maverick. That would eliminate in cab chores with the auxiliary brake setup. Which would make the running of the engine every few hours...

Started flat towing a CMax in 2014, then got a Jeep Wrangler...waiting on a Maverick. Sure will miss the ease of setup on a Jeep. Put transfer case in neutral, make sure e-brake is off and go. Not much else matters! But once unhooked I think the Maverick will be worth the change to it. I...

I would love to feel sorry for your long wait. And it IS a long wait! I would LOVE to be complaining about my Maverick sitting somewhere, but that seems months away............:) That said...there does seem to be too many issues with rail transport. I understand the trucking side, but the rail...

What you write is true, and good on you for "working" the system to your advantage. But you might be surprised at how often I work a discount for cash folding money when buying higher dollar amount items.....

There is not much that is free in this world. 1-2% cashback from a credit card purchase? Who pays that? CONSUMERS DO! In extra costs for the products you purchase, in exorbitant interest charges for those that don't pay off the balance in FULL every month. Not saying to not take advantage of...

I would warranty this...one time as a dealer. Ford might have other warranty claims....and too many will point to needing some engineering inquest to see if that needs improved.

Those not a business owner might just be surprised at how much credit card fees add up each month for a business. 3-4% charges for credit ( Visa, PayPal, etc.) can eat up about all of the net profit on a vehicle. That is the number one reason a dealer will almost always have a limit on how much...
