  1. Maverick Tops MotorTrend's 2023 Best Small & Mid-Sized Trucks to Buy

    XLT Lux seats. The cloth/power/lumbar and 8 way adjustment on the driver's are the best seats we have ever had. Hands down. These are heated too but untested so far. We bought the same combo for our Bronco Sport. Convenience package with the 8way cloth power seats.. In our book, seats and...
  2. Nerd warning: Model Year 2023 calculations to-date (and what it means for 2024 Maverick orders)

    getting way off original topic, and there are many discussion on the bronco sport forum regarding the 1.5l. What I find very interesting about the engine is that it actually shuts down one cylinder on the highway. The 3 cylinders become 2 operating cylinders. 1.0 liter of engine is all that...
  3. Nerd warning: Model Year 2023 calculations to-date (and what it means for 2024 Maverick orders)

    The BS 1.5l is inferior mileage vs the hypothetical 2.5hybrid AWD. Unfortunately, there is not a "best of both" option right now, and the Escape drivetrain not likely to move south for the next couple years. So, we do the best we can. My BS/AWD/1.5l meets the criteria for AWD. Meanwhile the...
  4. Nerd warning: Model Year 2023 calculations to-date (and what it means for 2024 Maverick orders)

    We have a 1.5l BS. Plenty adequate for our needs, and much better mileage than the 2.0l. The 1.5l is a worldwide standard engine for Ford. It's the US market where consumer focus is on horsepower. The Escape isn't built in Hermosillo, so an introduction of an AWD hybrid version to that...
  5. Nerd warning: Model Year 2023 calculations to-date (and what it means for 2024 Maverick orders)

    That's an interesting idea, but would mean Ford would build non-AWD Bronco Sports. That would take away the DNA for that vehicle and mean suspension changes. I know everyone wants the hybrid 4wd vehicle, but apparently not happening for a bit.
  6. Fordpass app seems to have slowed my phone way down...

    Thanks! That's the prodding I needed. New phone ordered. While AT&T may be a poor service, I was getting zero bars at my work store with T-mobile (a dead spot, no towers near this rural site).
  7. Fordpass app seems to have slowed my phone way down...

    4years old, running on Android 8.0. The phone has been solid and consistent until about 2 months ago when I added the app. Back to solid after shutting it down. It's hard to know why it would require so many phone resources, maybe a communication issue with the vehicles or GPS? Out here in...
  8. Fordpass app seems to have slowed my phone way down...

    I have two Fords now on my Fordpass app, a BS and a Mav. My android phone has periods of grinding to a halt! I started shopping for a new phone, and while checking settings on my old phone and comparing to new phones, found that Fordpass was quite active and using up a lot of RAM. Since...
  9. Is it true that the base XL eco-boost weighs just shy of 3700 pounds ?

    I had to get a weight certificate to register my out-of-state purchased XLT Hybrid/Lux/SIBL full size spare. With about 2 gallons shy of a full tank, the certified weight was 3,720lbs.
  10. '23 granger rollover thread

    I did read about that issue early on. I think it has been fixed (or reprogrammed). I'm not a fan of remote starting. We live on a farm with lots of cats. They have no forewarning to get out of dodge when a remote start is used. It is never seriously cold here in central CA, and I have no...
  11. '23 granger rollover thread

    The W8E0 is the model designation for the hybrid. Ford hiked prices around Feb-March, so those prices appear on the window sticker. Actual price though is the contract price (Sept 2022).
  12. '23 granger rollover thread

    They have the last 3 orders already with VIN's, so those will get built as '23 MY. The various discounts: $1750 from the Ford rollover PCO $500 from Farm Bureau $3000 off MSRP from Granger That's $5250... then there was a $400 MSRP price hike on the window sticker for W8E0 MAVERICK XLT FWD...
  13. '23 granger rollover thread

    Mine has finally shipped! It went out via a Montway contracted carrier yesterday, 7/7. Montway backed up big time. Scheduled to arrive 7/10. It will be great to finally get the vehicle. I've had black Friday rollup and rack sitting here for months. Granger has been super the whole...
  14. Latest Maverick Production Key Commodity Constraints (6/26/2023)

    I think this is a bit harsh, fordvideoguy and his crew have done a huge service to the Maverick community. They assumed that they "should" get the same number of allocations as vehicles sold the prior year. I deliberately avoided the use of the word 'greed' as I'm not going to judge honest...
  15. Latest Maverick Production Key Commodity Constraints (6/26/2023)

    Zach posted it today but did not say exactly when they received their allocations: "We received enough allocation to cover our 3 remaining retail orders on the final Maverick allocation and build out for 2023."
  16. Latest Maverick Production Key Commodity Constraints (6/26/2023)

    Granger has 3 unscheduled 2022 rollovers. After that, they should be getting dealer stock. I'm glad they will get rewarded for choosing to not take new 2023 orders, a decision they said they made because the 2023 allocation formula was unclear. I feel for all the overbooked Mav orders...
  17. '23 granger rollover thread

    If you signed new docs on or around Sept 16 2022, it would be in there. Did you? A new order was required for 2023.
  18. '23 granger rollover thread

    I hope you realize that this discussion is specific to Granger orders. The "3" left is correct per Zach with Granger. Granger did not take new orders for 2023 Mavs, due to allocation concerns. Sure, I understand your post regarding Mavs in general with US dealers.
  19. '23 granger rollover thread

    Was contacted by Granger on 6/17 and signed docs same day. Wiring money over today or tomorrow, and will schedule a transporter for next week. They said 2-3 weeks wait due to the backlog of vehicles in front of me. Have they contacted you yet?
  20. Anyone seeing recent private offers for the Maverick?

    just signed on Friday, there was not a $750 private offer available. I did get the PCO rollover and Farm Bureau rebates.
