And apparently, the competition for that "fleet" business is pretty intense. They give Amazon a significant discount or they take the business elsewhere. That's a LOT of gas!

I asked my dealership, how they got it topped off so quickly at delivery time, and he told me they actually have the dealership complex (there's 6-7 dealers side-by-side) have their own pump for 87 octane, and they use a special card to activate it. For vehicles that require higher octane, they...

There are literally dozens of other threads that discuss this. I'm out.

Yeah... When I was in college, my buddy and I moved BOTH of our worldly possessions from a dorm to a single-wide we rented (cheap!). Unremarkable, except I moved in one trip, and in a VW Karmann-Ghia! And I had two guitars and a mini-fridge, along with all the other stuff... We moved last...

OK - your Cyber Orange Maverick is gorgeous, but that old truck is pretty awesome, too! I briefly owned a '53 Chevy - the "five-window" version. But as I dug into it, I realized it was so non-original, and so "cobbled together" that it was going to cost a FORTURE to make it drivable. My wife...

... back when it wasn't clear what a runaway success the Maverick was going to be, and when the new and used markets had not yet "taken off" the way they did later on. But good for you, man! You got a heck of a price for a heck of a truck, and should be very happy. I wish I had known about...

I seriously considered that alternative. I've towed a LOT, and would have no real issue with that approach... But for the foreseeable future, I have no place at all to park a trailer. I already have one car sitting in the driveway because our garage is so small. And our HOA does not allow...

I think you misunderstood my reply. Or maybe I worded it poorly. As another Dave Ramsey fan, I would completely agree that the house if MUCH more important than any car. I've driven a LOT of POS cars in my lifetime, prioritizing housing over "quality" of transportation. The "well used"...

I'm not a lawyer, but it's my understanding that the "state of registration" guides the rules that are applied. But then, I tend to do my best to abide by the "uniform code for motor vehicles" rules.

OK, then show us the "plentiful" list of non-hybrid small pickups under $40K. I'll still wait... I asked about the hybrid, because that's the model that is driving high markups. Ecoboost markups are considerably lower. But OK - show your list...

I have no argument with anyone who chooses to purchase a Santa Cruz. But to me, the Santa Cruz is not a direct competitor for the Maverick Hybrid on fuel mileage alone. Add the price differential, and the Maverick Hybrid is in a class of it's own.

Please share with us your "plentiful" list of of hybrid small pickups under $40K. We'll be right here waiting. (But not holding our breath...)

There are several "portable power stations" that can provide enough power to run your CPAP overnight. with plenty of reserve. I'm rather partial to products made by Anker, but there are many other options, some that are substantially less expensive, though potentially less "safe"... Anker has...

Yeah, I suspect he misread your original post, where you said you would have 600-700 lbs of people + cargo when you traveled. Some of that load (at least two people), and probably some other "stuff" would be in the cab or bed of your Maverick. With that said, you'd likely be well below the...

Could well be, but surge brakes can resolve that problem, as U-Haul has been doing for decades...

Two pages, and 29 posts. Only one response to the OP's actual question of "Who is paying 5-10K over MSRP, and why"... If you didn't pay over MSRP, then don't chime in. Create your own thread to rant about "dishonest dealers" and "this truck isn't worth MSRP, much leas over"... (Or just add...

I paid some ADM when I got my Maverick (an abandoned '22 First Edition Hybrid). And I'm normally THAT guy when it comes to negotiating for a new vehicle. I've never paid even MSFP on any vehicle I've purchased. I walked out of a Chrysler dealership with my entire family when we went to pick...

I would do as much as I could to lighten the stuff you put into the trailer, and I wouldn't fill the tanks until the last possible moment. Lots of experienced RVers recommend taking EVERYTHING out of the rig at least once a year, and then analyze each item before you put it back in the rig...

It's pretty "cool" in the looks department, too! I'd have to say that I agree about the interior temps - and all my windows are factory standard tint (or not). My Maverick is garaged at home, but I've parked in the sun quite a few times for several hours at a time, and I'm always surprised...

Me and about 60,000 of my closest friends all ordered on 9/15/22.
