I think it's a really cool looking vehicle, and I'm strangely excited to see Dodge entering the "performance electric" market... But I just can't bring myself to trust anything designed / built by Alfa Romeo. Their historical reliability record is abysmal. I sincerely hope they've turned it...

This will be our fifth pickup. We've owned 3 Chevy's and a Ram before this one. Each new generation or trucks kept getting bigger and bigger, to the point that the last HD Crew Cab Short Bed we had required about as much room to turn around as an aircraft carrier. Heck, it could probably have...

Hollywood HR1700 is one of the few that is rated for use on the back of an RV (though only Class A, Class C, and 5th wheels, NOT bumper pulls), and is rated for two heavy bikes. Another option is from 1Up-USA.com. They have a 2" Super Duty Double that is rated for up to 200 lbs, with 75 lbs...

Dude, I would jump on that before someone else does... Though I'd also keep the current order open, hoping that you do win the lottery. If so, you can trade in the EB for the Hybrid (or sell it yourself) and might not even lose anything in the process. And you'd be driving a Maverick instead...

Because the BAP won't really change the visibility of my Cyber Orange truck! LOL

Same is true for incandescent bulbs. My 2013 Prius headlights are pretty dim, and I really should be replacing them. It's on my "projects" list...

I seriously thought about ordering one of our Mavericks with the EB. After all, the 2.0T gets about the same mileage as my wife's current Impala... But I really wanted the hybrid for both of us. I also briefly considered ordering a Ranger for one of us, but then realized that none of the...

Heck, you can't blame him. It might have been the only way he was getting a Maverick this year...

Yeah, if I actually had a Maverick (:rolleyes:), I would be happy demo it to anyone who asked first. I'd be happy to let them look it over, sit in it, answer any questions, etc. I would only let them test drive it if I already knew them well enough to know they were careful drivers, and even...

I know this is an old thread... But both the Maverick and Santa Cruz hitches are bolt-on components. For that matter, so was the hitch on my Chevy 2500 HD. As long as the hitch attachment points were designed-in as part of the tow package engineering, having a bolt-on hitch would NOT a reason...

Tim actually said that in their dealership, priority 10, 11, 12, and 13 were assigned to MY22 rollovers, and their new '23 orders went in at lower priorities. That's how their dealership works - following Ford's guidelines - but not how EVERY dealership works. At my dealership (which...

"Change tools over..." I think it might be even simpler than that for the 22 vs 23 Maverick model line production changes... The only part that might be different between a 22 model and a 23 model (other than the Tremor line, which is another whole kettle of soup) would be the data plate, and...

For me, the "hot-spot delete" was a total non-issue. I've never really understood the desire for a cellular hot-spot built into the car. For the last 8+ years, my cell phones have had hot-spot capability that is at least as good as the vehicle hot-spot. And the hot-spot speed and technology...

The optional "hitch" for the Maverick includes only the 4-pin connector. There is no built-in trailer brake controller, so no need for a 7-pin connector. The 4K Tow package includes a trailer brake controller, so it has both 7- and 4-pin connectors, side by side next to the receiver.

So if it the announcements had read "Ford releases 42 mpg compact truck (with optional hybrid powertrain)" you would have been less interested? How about "Ford releases lowest-cost compact truck with 32 mpg highway and 4K towing capability (with standard 2.0 EcoBoost engine)" for the folks just...

I truly do not mean to be snarky. I sincerely hope someone here can answer your question. But first, you have to actually ask one... There is no question in there that I can discern.

I fail to see how any of your bullet points support your conclusion that "if you take all those out the actual demand is probably a lot less..." Those are legitimate factors impacting demand. For example, I have 2 on order. But one will be my vehicle, and the other will be my wife's. Right...

How do you make that assumption? A limitation would be more likely stated as "34,395 hybrids". If it's a hard limit, they would know exactly how many they pre-ordered. Truth is, there is absolutely no way for any of us to know for sure what those numbers represent, but to me, the most...

Those vent windows were also the easiest way to break into a car or truck. I had a friend who could open the vent window of pretty much any car, reach in through that, and have the door open in under 5 seconds. He was a cop, so of course he only used his "powers" for good... :sneaky: LOL

My wife complains about the "grabby" brakes on my 2012 Prius C every time she drives it. I've never experienced any "grabbiness" myself. The only think I've noticed (consistently, since the day I bought it) is that at VERY low speed, the regen-function ceases to apply any braking and the...
