Wow - I had totally forgotten about that "clunk" between tracks... But yeah, it was a "thing" back in the day. I can remember pulling the aftermarket 8-track out of my '71 Maverick to replace it with a cassette tape deck. I thought I was totally cool!

So, should we assume you're "quitting" Chevy, Kia, Hyundai, Lexus, Toyota, and all the other makes as well, since there are dealers for each one of these vehicles that have been charging ADM on new, high-demand models? I guess that leaves Tesla for you to do business with, since they don't have...

Except that in Texas an emissions test is still required for the online records to be updated to you can renew your registration. I wonder how they are getting by with that? I know someone who had a race-modified Porsche 911 that was almost certainly out of spec emissions-wise, but "passed"...

Good for you! That sounds like a dealership whose service department is on the ball. So many service departments these days have you drop off the vehicle so they can "get to it sometime in the next few days..." Makes me crazy. Why have an appointment available if they can't work on it when...

It's pretty crazy... $10K ADM (or even more) for an "in stock" hybrid is par for the course around here - even ones that are used with up to 15K miles on them! For Ecoboost models, it's a bit less. Was averaging around $7,500, but now seems to be down to $3,500-$5,000. But they're asking...

Wind in El Paso can be pretty stiff! I was stationed at Ft Bliss (in El Paso) back in the late 70's. At the time, I owned one of the original Maverick 2-door coupes (Grabber Blue). I parked it outside our barracks building, with the car facing East. One of El Paso's infamous sand storms...

Yeah, Ive heard that complaint many times. I think the Lariat/Lux with the 6.5" center display screen has different programming/settings. On mine, I de-selected the "seatbelt" screen from the "Select Screens" menu under the "Settings" for the center display, so it doesn't even present that...

Ford has plenty of capacity for ecoboost builds, so your odds of getting your truck are extremely good. Now as to WHEN in 2023 that might happen? That's where a Magic 8 Ball might give as good an answer as anyone here...

This is interesting: I have a Lariat Hybrid Lux, and I have never once seen this "seatbelt check mark" popup message. Of course, my wife and I (the only two people ever in the Maverick to this point) always buckle our seatbelts before pressing the "start" button, so there's that... There is...

It's only present for the vehicles with Sync3, according to the manual. I've got it on my Lariat Lux, and turned it off. Even when you turn it off, It reminds you twice a year that you've disabled it.

Not directly related to your point here, but it did remind me of an observation I've made lately: I've notices what seems to be a significant difference in conditioning between the offensive skill players (running backs and receivers) and their defensive counterparts (cornerbacks and...

Since Ford doesn't publish that data, I'm surmising it (subject to error, of course) from the fact that they initially were selling the hybrid for LESS than the Ecoboost, and are now selling them at the same price. Applies either way. I don't see your point here. That statement wasn't...

Sipping my coffee from one of them right now! :coffee::love:

OK - not quite done... There's at least 3 Hybrid Mavericks that would be sold (the one I bought, and the two I still have on order) that are NOT taking an order from the Escape Hybrid. That vehicle was nowhere on my radar. I was looking at small trucks. So if anything, the Mav Hybrid brought...

Exactly! It costs almost the same to build a Maverick EB as the Hybrid, which has nearly 2X the impact on CAFE. It just amazes me how many people on this forum are salivating over the Maverick hybrid, yet seem to truly believe in this malevolent corporate scheme to deprive them of it, and go...

OR, they just can't build them because they can't get the materials. The high voltage batteries require a lot of relatively rare elements that are in extremely high demand right now. I can't help believing that as a for-profit company answering to their stockholders, Ford just doesn't want...

So, you're saying Ford could somehow satisfy the CAFE standards without selling a single Maverick Hybrid? Just having it in the lineup is good enough? I thought they actually factored in the number of such vehicles sold in determining the "average" fleet economy. I thought they were selling...

Thanks for the correction. I must have misunderstood.

Whether it's connecting from inside the garage or not, FordPass definitely shows my car parked in my garage, and has the address correct. My neighbor's driveway is about 6 ft from mine, though the garages are probably 20 ft apart. (We're in a cul-de-sac.)

I've owned literally dozens of cars where the exterior paint color carried into the door jambs, and was visible on the inside. Guess I'm used to it, because it just doesn't matter to me. I did, however, choose the BAP for my Cyber Orange Maverick because I thought it went better with the...
