Seems pretty normal to me. I always ask to not have any stickers. I’ve even said that a few times…don’t want em on unless your gunna pay me for the advertising. Nothing serious and of course I’d never expect them to say ok we’ll give you something, nor is it anything I raise a stink about if...

I dunno about these mavericks. The typical setup with late model Fords with touchscreen is 3 parts….. 1) the screen assembly which is just that…2)the ACM which is the actual radio unit…and 3) the APIM which is both the interface between the ACM and screen and also the processor for...

+1 for something like fluid film. it’s dirtier and needs to be touched up and reapplied every so often, but MUCH more effective. Other more solid/permanent types of undercoating tends to do more harm than good in the long run unless it’s VERY meticulously applied. Moisture/salt will find its...

Price has always gone up year to year. In fact prices usually go up midway thru the year as well with Fords in the past when going job1 to job2. So going up is pretty much a given even without the madness of the last couple years. Question is just how much, with high inflation, low stock, good...

It’s a tough decision. Kind of minor difference between trims and major packages, but always that one or 2 things that make it compelling. I haven’t ordered yet as I am not a 1st year beta tester on ground up new model kinda person, though I have the big itch to on this one. Ideally I’d go for...

I used to live in the neighborhood for a good while, right across the river in NJ. In fact I even bought a car from Chapman Ford about 10yrs ago. Moved back to TX where I’m from a few yrs ago, and had looked into this as I had an extra car to get down here. Cheapest was a little over $1k from...

I currently have a Lariat F150 with all packages....so pretty much all the toys except the auto parking in the higher trims. On the maverick....base XLT + spray in liner is it. In fact, if they had something like the 101a packages on the XL's like they do the F150 that would add cruise and...

Still doesn’t mean it wasnt super tough to do! I also questioned leaving that part exposed. Easily done if spray in was done before the glass (which even factory I think is done after the fact vs an earlier stage in the build process)…but considering the glass is literally right there, I’d be...

I’ve used a plain ole treated 2x8 like this for ages…as long as bed liners (was the case with older trucks as plastic liners have pretty much always had slots) or the beds themselves had provisions for it. Rather than install when needed, it stayed put and only was removed when I needed it...

I only skimmed through most of the replies so apologies if any of this has been said already… The F150 hoods are (or at least were with the earlier 13th gen one) like that as well. Mine WAS like that. It’s a pretty simple thing to fix. Hood latches are adjustable on almost any vehicle, so even...

Spray in for steel, drop in for aluminum. Drop in has better impact protection, but with dirt and moisture inevitably getting between a drop in and the bed, and all the slight movement, at best it’s going to put a lot of wear thru on the paint, and at worst cause a lot of rust and rot years down...

It’s largely aesthetic so whatever suits you. I’ve had trucks all my life, and bed covers ever since living where it snows, and beyond after leaving the north again. They don’t have any real affect on MPG. Great for snow as you just push it off like the rest of the vehicle vs having a bed full...

If it’s not something you have and will continue to use frequently, I wouldn’t worry about what type it is, or skip the option all together if not getting a trim or package that includes it. Besides more cost, more potential for air/water leaks, etc…I’m not a fan of how the sliders are...

I was going to say this as well. One of my friends used to be a service tech who mainly dealt with the ‘unpacking’ (for lack of a better word) of the new vehicles off the truck as well as completing the PDI’s when sold. I remember him talking about how common minor issues are and that even more...

Couple points that stick out to me…. 1) no mention if that mpg was hand calculated or just going by the display. I consider the mpg display in every ford I’ve ever driven a true lie-o-meter as they always seem to be about 10% optimistic…and I’m not an aggressive or lead foot driver either. 2)...

Fords have only gotten increasingly more modular since then. For example with my 16 F150, I have added several factory options not originally equipped (or even available at the trim level) as well as changed the factory behavior of other stuff. At least with those 13th gen F150’s, the main...

I think there may be something to this. I won’t name dealership or anything as it was a quick casual check to see if any orders/demo/dealer trainers were inbound just to see and sit in one, and a casual ask if they were dealing at all, just msrp, or marking up. No pressing or further discussion...

Super inefficient, but really nice to have if you live in a colder climate! I had a diesel VW awhile back that had it. Pretty sure it was there just to augment the heater core until it was up to temp as diesels don’t warm up as fast. Whatever the case, it was sure nice getting some heat...

I expect the hybrid will be perfectly adequate in those situations. At least pretty typical vs the average typical late model vehicle on the road anyways. Keep in mind it wasn’t all that long ago that those kind of numbers were getting into performance car numbers (whether it be engine alone...

I think it’s a combination of a lot of things mentioned already. My take with hybrid in general in addition to points already made… I think it ends up a bit of a feedback loop/self fulfilling prophecy with the manufacturers. We’re only going to make (enter low %) hybrid due to the amount of...
