All electric? Def not in this current time. Electricity rates going up fast, range too small tho nice to see 200+ being common now, lack of charging stations, time to recharge, etc. it’s just not ready for prime time. PHEV…I think that is the sweet spot. Electric range usually enough to get...

I’ve seen exactly 2 in person since they have come out, both times on the road. I’ve seen a good handful of santa cruzes around though. All I can say is I’m kinda glad I dont like the look of the Santa Cruz. Besides it’s looks, I’m sure it’s probably a nicer car (yes car! where mav still looks...

I agree. Too bad they can’t change things up a bit too help without rocking the boat somehow…maybe something like the ability for the customer to do most of the legwork submitting an order online…like build&price, order now, choose dealer, and bam, initial order created with ford, with...

I think the lariat is missing a bunch of stuff it should have standard. Auto dimming mirrors, power folding mirrors, parking sensors, blind spot/cross traffic should be standard, selectable ambient, etc…all that sort of stuff that is standard on lariat trim and the like on the other models...

Closest I have come to one is seeing one on the road once or twice. Test driving is not necessary to me on something like this. As long as there aren’t a bunch of comments about being dog slow and can’t get out of its own way or something, which of course isn’t the case on these, I’m sure...

Hybrid carbonized grey XL w/ only the spare for me. Will add bed liner, and hopefully find a relatively cheap set of takeoff XLT wheels after the fact. Originally wanted a Lariat due to the proximity key/push button start which I love in my current truck, but don’t care about the rest of the...

I put an order in for a base XL (hybrid) with nothing more. I have a feeling I’ll be waiting a couple years before I’m in one as I’m pretty sure this one won’t pan out. On one hand I’ve seen orders show up and go in and out inventory and even know a couple people who have done orders thru this...

Until you have it! I don’t see much attraction to any built In navigation these days. Map Updates are often behind the real world as soon as they are released, not to mention the updates tend to be infrequent and die off all together in a pretty short amount of time. Traffic via travel link is...

Fords in general seem to be pretty inconsistent in general compared to other brands, esp the ones from the last decade or so that I have been around. I’ve seen from same model, year, etc where some are really solid with good panel/door alignment, squeak/rattle free interior, etc with others...

While there does seem to be some things pointing to that, I don’t think that will have any affect on these for the time being. Being a popular new model vehicle, no stock, that you can’t even order right now means you’re fully stuck with how the market currently is with no bearing on where it...

Same boat and general area for me as well. Talked to Gulf Coast and Yaklin in Brazoria county somewhat recently as they are the 2 nearest to me. Both said no markup or anything on orders. Yaklin seemed more convincing though while Gulf Coast seemed to have more of the ole we'll say anything to...

I get the idea your maverick isn’t driven much, but unless I missed it, I didn’t see anything about typical distance or frequency. That absolutely can make a HUGE difference in mpg, particularly during the colder months. Like just one trip a couple miles or so and back stone cold and that’s it...

That seems to be pretty typical on later fords. Also had this on my F150. Easy to take care of though. You can either raise the rubber bumper/support things on the side a bit or lower the hood latch a bit depending how the lines stack up in relation to the fenders. Both very simple to do. I...

Width of your garage doors doesnt mean anything. Though most garages generally are around 18-20ft deep, there really is no required standard there and can be anything! I thought the one on my current house was on the short side @ 18ft door to wall, but one of my friends has a relatively new...

My father has a 2nd gen, and I briefly looked at the 3rd gen last time I bought a truck. Was never really a contender as the smaller trucks were (5 or 6yrs ago anyways) more expensive and got no better MPG or anything than a full size, but the 3rd gen just came out so had to check it out since...

TX as well, at least here in the Houston area. I know a couple of people personally who’ve had this happen. Now it seems higher end lights (factory led headlights, blind spot rears) and mirrors are being targeted as well…at least there’s been a few segments as such on the local news lately...

I’ve seen ‘new’ cars with up to several thousand miles in a few places I’ve lived over the years. I think it’s one of those state things that prob vary some place to place. Personally I like to see under 150 or so, preferably under 50. A lot depends on the situation though. Old stock that’s...

I dunno why so many are hung up trying to throw a dollar amount or value on one drivetrain or the other. No question hybrid should be overall lowest short term, but long term there are just too many unknowns, especially these days with things beyond the vehicle itself to try and put a dollar...

That was my first thought as well lol….and those things aren’t exactly pocket sized either! I don’t think the pocket’s size is a big deal at all. It’s just a making some use of existing otherwise dead space sorta thing vs a purposeful major design feature. Like I’d prob just keep a couple...

Depends on what you are comparing it to. For small fwd vehicles, a fair amount of stuff is not exactly easy to get to. That doesn’t mean you can’t do the work or you have to get too extreme like pulling the engine for things you normally wouldn’t or anything. On newer cars, it’s all the...
