The real reason there's a chip shortage is because they were all put in the Covid vaccines for 5G tracking devices.
Don't worry, though. The lizard people know they can't wait too long before the demons who provided their sperm for the vaccine demand an appearance of normalcy. So the lizard...
For restocking supplies three times a week in a truck that has all the space I need and is a lot nicer to drive than the 1990 Silverado 1500 I'm driving around now.
It'll be a whole hell of a lot easier to steer because I refuse to fix the power steering on my current truck since I'll be...
Does anyone know whether it will stay in the mode you select or if you have to select it every time you start up the engine?
The second is what I have to do in my Mustang and it's annoying because sometimes due to fat finger syndrome I select track mode instead of sport mode and...well, do you...
I like it. Simple, clean and functional. Everything I want in a work truck. No need for all the bells and whistles. It's like Ford knew what they were talking about when they said that the XL trim would be sought after by business buyers or something.
And that's the bottom line. It'll get to you when it gets to you. If you've got a confirmed order you've done everything you can, so now you just wait until it arrives.
A lot of the advice we got about caring for cars when we were growing up is obsolete. I laugh at the people in line at the Costco who don't turn off the engine because it supposedly takes more gas to start it back up than a minute of idling. Try ten seconds. Plus, you're leaving it idling for a...
It's a work truck which will be used to haul supplies. It'll never go off road except when I drive on the dirt road at the dump. And I'm in SoCal. No need to pay more for something I don't need and will never use.
Here's what happened with me. On August 13, I got a call from the dealer, telling me they had a trainer on site if I wanted to see it. I wasn't able to make it in to see the truck, but I told them that reminded me that since I wanted a hybrid, I'd need to get my order in with them and that I...
It's not fancy but it's great for a work truck. This is why Ford said they thought it would be popular with fleet buyers. Those ten year old Rangers ain't getting any younger and this is a good replacement for them, especially for companies that need to park their vehicles in city garages.
And things will change again, depending on what supply constraints Ford is running into that week. As I've said previously to people getting upset
Exactly. This is something you're going to have for years. Why delete something you want so that you can get it a few weeks earlier?
And it's still a more valid comparison than yours because we are comparing trucks with similar payload capacities (around 1500 pounds) which are typically used for the same thing (hauling supplies for businesses). But wait, Ford says the Maverick will also appeal to sedan buyers? Not in the XL...
Assuming you're doing 100 mph (and you won't be) you'd have to drive five hours to exhaust the tank. You're going to need a break before your truck does as it is.
If you're dead set about putting in dual tanks, do it. But realize that it's not about it being practical. Realize that it's about...
I'm a reasonably intelligent man, but I'm not that smart. :sneaky:
Every time I go for supplies -- and I'm buying a Maverick to haul them so I can get rid of the 31 year old piece of crap truck I have now -- there's something I can't get.
So yeah, when I hear any company talk about supply...
Ain't that the truth.
