Changing the front end also means fewer years to get junkyard parts from in future.

Been wondering same. In defense world we do LRIP (low rate initial production) to ensure everything is ok before we build a bunch of radars or F35s and need to retrofit a bunch with fixes Or why not build them at full rate for a very short period and stop for a few days while they are...

Yep I went back a page- it was another guy who wrote about greedy company...no idea why/how I replied or whatever you wrote. Ford probably wasn't making much is why they raised prices, demand was higher than expected, and inflation started increasing a few years ago. They basically haven't...

Yep, and you now seem smart enough that I think you know that bashing the evil owners and management is a stretch. Biggest cost in almost every industry is labor. They should charge as much as they can...it's the cheapest truck around so hard to accuse them of being greedy on the...

Seeing they were selling every maverick they could make, they could have clearly charged more, and probably still could and should. Instead of being envious, slow down the spending, invest $200+ monthly and you'll have $1m after 40 years (with 10% gains - the market's average and what I've...

I own some Ford stock - suggest you spend a few minutes researching the facts of what we, the owners, have been making. Also, anyone with a 401k likely owns some Ford stock in an index fund.

Chevy volt can go two years. Was pretty sure, so I googled it. However, my 20k mile mobil-1 says 20k or one year. I've been driving so little, so I've been going 1-3 months past 12 months on my 2013 focus ever since COVID (we're still mostly teleworking, driving 4-6k per year, mostly highway...

I've used very strong very small magnets. I have never cut the dirty filter apart though. Can also put one on oil plug screw (on my cars - I dont own a Maverick). I think long ago I put them on oil pan back when they were steel/magnetic.

Yep, they have not raised it a ton really, and I think we all knew the $20k was a teaser / first year headline. Basically everybody has received raises of 10-20% during that period too... The site I use says 20k in January 2021 is now 24k...

Agree - and noisy struts and hybrid oddity aren't exactly huge issues. Similar Toyota truck (or hybrid RAV4) would cost $5-15k more? That buys a long extended warranty and/or a lot of beer. My 2013 Focus has an annoying whistle w/in a speed range that even my wife notices and annoys her...

Or huge union greed - large raises. We've had what, 30% inflation over past 3-4 years? 20k x 1.3 = 26k starting price. .

That (band aid fix) is partly why we let the dealer keep our 2023 which Ford won't let us take delivery on...been sitting at dealer since right before or right after this recall was issues.....we (my disabled older brother) ordered a 2024 turbo. I probably won't buy one for me after the many...

I wonder if Ford could check/monitor the motor oil to determine which trucks have faulty engines...send oil off to be analyzed. Ford likely has the capability.

Except they added cruise control to base model, making it much much more livable.

We gave up waiting, ordered a 2024 turbo. Brother feared the hybrid and it would take 35-40k miles to pay for itself.

Dealer is clueless, they wouldn't know, unsure if Ford corporate even knows...I heard someone at Ford say in September or later in 2022 they fixed the engine issue, but if true, then why was ours in the recall. It was delivered in June is my recollection, so I think engine was likely built in...

Dealer has no clue, truck is sitting at the dealership still! If prices hadn't gone up so much for hybrid, we'd seriously consider ordering a 2024. Might order 2024 turbo .. and should also search dealers for a 2023. Seen a couple on Facebook for fair price.

Wow didn't know 2024 were delivering. If they hadn't jacked up hybrid price, I would have ordered one. Our 2023 is held hostage at dealer waiting since summer for the engine fire recall Band-Aid fix.. The recall was supposed to be done in October originally, which I knew they'd never meet...

LOL fire detector crossed my mind. I wonder if very frequent oil changes (even if I do it at my expense) the first 10k miles is the solution. 500 miles,. 1500, 3000, 5000, 7500, 10k.... something like that. Or is the bearing total garbage....filter should catch metal, so apparently oil changes...

They aren't going to "fix the engine". they already had a recall on the fire issue and simply added more ventilation. This time I think they'll add a shield to block spurting oil from hitting anything hot. And maybe add a warning msg when they sense the engine has failed.
