I don't mean what would you do differently from Ford in the initial construction, but rather what would/could you do after purchase to turn the interior into something that feels more luxurious? Add noise dampening to the doors, floor and/or ceiling? Replace the seats? Wrap some/all surfaces...

I always say "buy the thing you need 363 days of the year; rent the thing you need 2 days a year." And moving house is an even LESS frequent occurrence. Why would anyone choose their daily driver based on that criteria? That's crazytown bananapants.

Yeah, and the website definitely still said 30 as recently as late December, for sure. I'd been putting off driving to the nearest office to buy membership because... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ why hurry? But when I spotted the change, I went the same day. $30 to save $500 is a no-brainer, even if it means...

They actually recently (within the last couple of weeks, I think, which probably means as-of Jan 1 , 2026) changed that to 90 days. I can't decide if I should delay ordering a bit to be safe or if it'll definitely take more than three months to get delivery anyway.

Hence my confusion. Based on the other replies here, it sounds like it may be a procedural issue on my end.

I"m working on ordering a Maverick and, based on the info on the Farm Bureau site - Farm Bureau Recognition - it looks like the 2026 Maverick should be eligible for the discount, but I've been told by two local dealers that they don't see any such offer available on their end. I can't find...

Worth it. The Defender is a hell of a tire. My top pick for highway driving, on any model it fits.

What's PEBKAC for cars? PEBSWAS?

I've loved my wife's Prius V (the bigger, wagon one they made for a few years, AND SHOULD MAKE AGAIN DAMN IT) for the past 14 years, so I'm already sold on the tech. I look forward to seeing what advancements the ensuing years have brought.

Ohhhhhh...I just realized something. I don't know the best way to ask it, but... is the average age for a user here very, very high?

'26 Lariat Hybrid is the plan.

LOL. I've never actually heard someone use that term, unless they were making fun of the sort of person that uses that term. It's an honor to encounter one of you in the wild! Of course, now I need to back away slowly...

Oh, that's easy: he knows I'm in the market and have been impressed with the Maverick, but he thinks I'd be happier with a Tacoma. He *has* also sent me several articles praising the Maverick, though.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I've heard the name, certainly, but they're not a source I intentionally check for stuff.

Fair enough. My father, who I think it's fair to say has moderately strong anti-Ford opinions, sent it to me this morning and I wanted to make sure there wasn't something I'd missed in my research.

Did I accidentally link to the wrong article? *checks* Oh, you're talking about article underneath the one I linked to. Gotcha. I didn't read that one, sorry.

They're not talking about the hybrid there.

https://www.slashgear.com/2074519/ford-maverick-reliability-consumer-reports/ So, it's obviously not the best written article. Kinda reads like an AI summary of a CR chart. Nevermind that. What I'm curious about is the dismissive language around the Hybrid. I've read A LOT about the Maverick -...

Cloth seats?
