The Ridgeline starts at $40K built in the US, it's not even comparable, so why? It's not even close in any metric and not the same customer at all. Everyone is worried about drained batteries and engine fires on this Maverick forum, not so with the Ridgeline, it's a Honda. I'll make it...

Bronze wheels?

I would've set that tacoma on fire while I waited. Or at least gone to the bathroom on all the seats, they're probably cloth.

It's a pretty simple platform from a company that's been making trucks forever. BUT maintenance is the key and that's where the rubber meets the road. I am picking up daughter's XLT in a month and would expect we'll replace it when the next best safety feature comes out in normal vehicles (5-8...

Got the 45 day email after Maverick went into production Dec6th. Says almost built with apologies due to supply chain issues.

Don't go crazy, but full throttle merge on the highway with a little high speed running to heat up the exhaust and clean the O2 sensors. Hybrids are great for gas mileage, but not necessarily good for ICE engines and their parts as they don't work as hard under normal driving.

Take it out on the highway and drive it NOT like a grampa and blow the crap out of the engine. Get it warm then HOT and thrash it a bit. Maybe a 5-15 miles driving over the speed limit with some full throttle for good measure.

Not Meth as it turns out.

License plate in the middle?

Missing something for the truck build they thought would be there by now. It's not, so you're waiting and it's probably some external trim piece or otherwise stupid holding everything up.

So I put my vin in the Module tracker and I got no PCM but pages and pages of BCE. Truck is alive? Not sure what to make of it, I know I needed to track but not sure what it all means.

CNN are a bunch of idiots on these kinds of things, all generalization no research. Cybertruck is stupid, but read something CNN before you report. Land Rovers have been unibody for about a decade and the nice ones while having spotty reliability are pretty hard core heavy duty. Modern...

Oh I'm in for one of these, do you do other woods? Or other trucks like Rivian? Those folks would go crazy for something like this.

FWIW, I've never considered buying a vehicle from any of the American brands until now (PP for new driver focused me on Maverick in first place). I expect the Maverick to be a solid unibody truck from Ford who has sold more trucks (F150's) than any other vehicle on the planet. Feels like I'm...

It's more about the manufacturer and what they focus on than $ spent. Mercedes reliability rankings are almost dead last and they sell very very expensive vehicles. So do Volvo, Cadillac, Audi and Lincoln in the bottom half of the rankings.

Forgetting about EV versus Hybrid, Lexus & Toyota at the top and Chrysler & Mercedes at the bottom has been like this for decades. It's how manufacturers focus on quality and reliability plain and simple. No real changes in the rankings IMHO.

Yes too late as your build date is only possible based on parts availability and production capacity. If Ford let people change at this point it would cause MORE havoc with their ability to schedule production accurately with JIT (just in time) parts arrivals having to be rescheduled as well..

It's the transmission shifting in a truck with no sound deadening material. You can hear EVERYTHING happening in these trucks.

You cannot be forced to even take delivery, so forced to pay over agreed amount doesn't exist either. You may choose to do what you want, it's your money and as you said just a Ford pickup....a dime a dozen.

I put a CTEK pigtail on all my vehicles and just plug them in whenever I need to (i.e. short drives not charging battery).
