You are lucky that you wanted a 'standard' build - one of the ones that are in the pipeline. It really helps if you're not picky about colors, and don't want any "oddball" optional features (not part of the "packages") that the distributorship has decided don't "belong" in your area... Like...
Your answer seems to imply that my answer was incorrect. I stated that I, personally, have NEVER seen the Maverick in ANY form of advertising. It really doesn't change my answer if Ford MAY have been advertised in places where I didn't see the ads. I was simply stating that I didn't see (and...
What's even funnier to me is that many (and I mean LOTS) of Ford dealer websites don't have the Maverick as an option when you search their inventory! You have to look at ALL vehicles, then you can narrow it down by typing Maverick in the search text. Unbelievable to me...
There, I fixed it for you... (Orders for 2023 Hybrids were about 50% higher than they were for Ecoboost. So much so that Ford increased Hybrid production dramatically, and still expects to fall short of delivering all the ordered Hybrids.
Interesting statement about "advertising the heck out of the Hybrid..." I'm extremely interested in the Maverick, and like you, I've never ONCE seen a Maverick advertised in ANY media form. Shows just how much pent-up demand there really is for a small (but still usefully sized) pickup with...
FWIW, I'm "large" and I have found the Lariat seats to be VERY comfortable, once I got them adjusted properly. At first, the side bolsters bothered me. Then I raised the seat (actually - only the back of the seat raises on the power seats in the Lariat), which meant I had to angle the...
... with their "we'll just add a complete new assembly line to an existing factory in Mexico so we can import into the US without the 'chicken tax' to be price-competitive" AND we're going to do all that AND deliver vehicles for sale THIS YEAR...
In today's highly constrained supply world...
If the 2.0 L turbo delivers the same MPG in the Rampage (21/25) it won't be much of a competitor for the Maverick... Why would anyone want a small truck that gets worse mileage than a mid-size truck from the competition? Well, I guess that would be die-hard "RAM Fans"...
I'm pretty sure that four years ago, when Ford was planning for the Maverick intro, and planning for production, they (and probably every other rational manufacturer) gave out contracts for specific numbers of components as a "minimum" with plans to add additional orders if/when needed. With...
Let me get this straight: if you HAD put down a deposit on the Maverick order, you think it WOULD be "your" Maverick? Nope. And the same is true for the Corolla your wife ordered... I'm not a lawyer, but IIRC the "business law" courses I took for my degree, unless you have a purchase...
Just FYI - the Hybrid engine is the "standard" engine for the Maverick, according to Ford, despite the fact that they expected to build no more than 35% of Mavericks with that power plant...
Not that this brilliant information changes your situation in the least... Sigh. I would definitely...
Necessary? For me that was only the floor mats (Smartliner) and the DeeZee tailgate dampener (little grandkids who love the Maverick).
Cool? Black 3D lettering for the tailgate, stubby antenna (the tall one just looks weird), wireless CarPlay adapter (specific version currently unavailable...
You can edit the post yourself to turn off the "strikeout" feature. Just click the Edit button for that post. I don't think there was nefarious intent by the admins - more likely just a software glitch in the system. If it was "prohibited" information, they would have taken down the post (or...
I would just point out that the "Ford rollover plan" for 2023-to 2024 orders involves much the same process as the "Ford rollover plan" for 2022-to-2023 orders... Meaning that "Ford" isn't doing ANYTHING... They are counting on their DEALERS to follow a special procedure for those rollovers...
Here's a picture that shows all the dimensions. I can't take credit, as I found it elsewhere on the forum... (But I do like the fact that it's in the best Maverick color! 🤣 )
Looks a lot like Spring in El Paso, TX. The increased winds coming through the pass in the mountains generate sandstorms that make the outside world look like that. On the plus side, dust storms don't really smell bad or aggravate asthma or other breathing conditions like y'all are...
