i didnt know that about different Bronco trims being exclusively built at specific plants, but i still dont believe it would be that hard a lift to 'flip' Hermo to 70/30 % or even 100% Mav production. i dont know how the profit per vehicle retail profit margin works out as far as vis-a-vi MaV...

a good thought experiment is to ponder how different those #'s would be if Mav production was better aligned with demand for our beloved little truck? i would wager the F-series wouldnt still be outselling Mav's 5 to 1, Ford if you build them the people will buy them.

it would appear that Ford has 'seen the light' and is finally getting serious about producing more Mav's. what caught my eye was the almost 60% share of total plant production capacity used for the Mav last month. Hermo is the sole supplier of Mavs worldwide while the Bronco has a additional...

good article, thanks for posting it.

all true but maybe a little strident?

hilarious:) as a lifelong NE Ohio resident i know EXACTLY which dealership group to which you refer. as a admitted Ford fan boi i have appreciated the keypad for decades and have often wondered why other OEM's havnt copied it, perhaps patent issues?

you definitely raised that kid right!!!!!

you betcha!!

that is the quickest build date after order date i have EVER heard of, by far!! good for you :)

you too? welcome to my world. as far as my darling Bride is concerned those mode buttons may as well not exist..... sigh.

great succinct summery. that has also been my experience as well with my '23 hybrid

Yep, just that much if im not mistaken

i believe that what you are referring to is the fuel capacity of each tank, not their actual physical dimensions. the discrepancy is due to the additional inside the tank pieces/parts needed for the pressurized fuel system that hybrids are equipped with. so, same size tanks, different fuel...

i also believe that to be true. the Lariat package on my 23 hybrid was advertised as having a 'noise reducing' windshield, thicker glass & better laminate between layers would not only reduce outside noise but should also be more robust and crack resistant as well. by the way when i purchased...

so GLAD you were able to walk away!!

great question, my guess would be yes. nostaligia can be very powerful. and dont discount how much some folks love 'tinkering' with older vehicles.

'verped'? not sure ive ever heard that particular expression B4 but i get your drift.

100% plus at least the Ranchero was a truck while the original Maverick was a poor attempt to respond to the oil embargo in the '70s

my theory is that the Ranchero identified too much with a 'car' like truck, just look at that rakish front end! while the Mav on the other hand is basically a F150 profile vehicle in a much smaller package, and seeing as how the F150 is and has been the bestselling vehicle in this great country...

congrats on your '24 Mav. great looking rig by the way :)
