  1. Built two days into production? Really?

    I had a 2/3 production date, which was silently changed to 2/17. Logging in today, it shows 2/18 for in production, and 2/19 for built. Really? I'll take it if true, sure. And on the modules page, it shows several dozen of BCE modules, but no PCM. Now, I'm fine with not getting PCM errors...
  2. Have window sticker; did I miss a price increase?

    I ordered my maverick on 11/22, and it changed to "in production" yesterday. I know there should a $300 increase for the trailer assistance in Job 2, and a general $100 increase, but there's a $455 difference, having gone from $40,170 to $40,625. It's a Lariat with moonroof and 4k towing...
  3. A lawyer's thoughts on uninsured drivers

    I wrote this as a response on another thread, but it's a more general topic. While I am an attorney, this is not legal advice. If you want that, you need to pay my retainer. Speaking as a lawyer, there are a few possibilities: 1) mandatory impound of uninsured vehicles at any traffic stop...
  4. VIN came quickly

    I wasn't expecting this yet! I ordered at the dealer on 11/22, got the email from ford on 11/23 in the wee hours of the morning (OK, I suppose that made it 9AM back east), and mid morning today I got a vin and a 2/3 build date! So a slight chance to arrive in time for her birthday!
  5. I unexpectedly ordered; they matched Granger!

    I stopped at the nearest dealer this afternoon, and unexpectedly walked out with my wife's Maverick ordered! Against all of my expectations, Ford Country matched Granger's Out the Door price. So in her near future is an atlas blue hybrid with 4k towing and a sunroof. The sunroof is for her...
  6. bring granger quote to local dealers personally, or by email? [solved; epilogue]

    As I'm reaching to point of ordering, I can't help but wondering: should I bring the granger quote to local dealers personally, or send by email? I know there's no chance of them matching, but I feel obligated to give them the chance. And, perhaps because being a lawyer has turned me mean...
  7. towing package just for extra cooling?

    I'll start by admitting that I'm kind of paranoid about cooling, having lost more than one vehicle over the years to heat. Actual towing with the maverick will be a non-issue: the things I would want to tow will be over 4k, and there's a bigger truck for me coming in the wake of the maverick...
  8. keep factory bed liner when ordering Lariat, or delete and get from third party?

    Lariat comes with factory bed liner, but it may be deleted for credit. I think every opinion I've seen prefers third party options, but is it worth the effort to delete and have done elsewhere??
  9. the Atlas-Velocity Blue color shuffle

    If I'm getting this straight, 23 and 25 Mavericks offer(ed) Velocity Blue, while 24 had Atlas Blue. While the 24 ranger was velocity blue, and the 24 F-150 also atlas blue. Uhm, why? different paint available in different assembly plants, or . . . I took my wife to a lot to choose color a...
  10. seating difference between XLT and Lariat

    I took my wife to a dealership today to check out colors (the winner: Velocity Blue; I would have thought she'd have preferred Eruption Green). Early on in this search, I test drove a Maverick, and found the legroom insufficient (as in, my left thigh not fully supported by the seat; that hurts...
  11. farm bureau 30 day wait!

    For those planning on joining a farm bureau for the discount . . . I paid my $20 today, and when I followed links, it seems that ford has a 30 day wait after joining. so if you're planning on this, plan ahead!
  12. teetering on the edge of ordering . . .

    I seem to finally be teetering on the edge of ordering! I need to get my wife to a lot so that she can actually see some eruption green paint in the sun. One local dealer has videos, but they really don't show the change in lighting in the brief moment. It appears that granger can order a 25...
  13. list of actual differences between co-pilot 1.0 and 2.0?

    Is there actually a list somewhere of the actual differences between co-pilot 1.0 and 2.0? Trying to read through the search results is maddening! it seems that 2.0 has the stop & go cruise control, and probably a bit more collision assistance, but that's as far as I've been able to decipher.
  14. Is there and option for the seat itself to tilt?

    The Maverick seems perfect for my wife, but I'd end up using it, too--there are a few, not many, of my trips that I can't take a classic for, but not enough to justify two daily drivers. (that, and I'll be the one hauling wood, rocks, and transmissions . . .) Anyway, I went to try one...
