Ted Russell Ford in Knoxville.

The dealer I'm working with in East Tennessee told me they have 37 allocations, and my order is #27 in the queue. Still, I'm not holding my breath, since my order is for a hybrid.

From the "before" mileage estimates, I'd guess it's an EcoBoost.

Third time I got stopped I had it in the front windshield. There was no bracket on the front bumper to mount it on. The Highway Patrol guy didn't buy my argument – told me to go to the Toyota dealer (Prius C) and they would give me one and probably mount it for me. And they did. No biggie...

When I first started looking at the Maverick order site, I thought I would absolutely hate the Velocity Blue. Then my local dealer called to tell me they had a Maverick special order that was declined because the guy decided he needed an F-150 after all... It was configured exactly like I...

I know this is a REALLY old thread, but just had to comment. For years, I have NOT had a front license plate in Texas, even though it is technically "required." There have been several legislative attempts to get that law reversed, and it always somehow dies by becoming attached to something...

Good point. I'd forgotten about the seat heaters and power adjustments... my wife would kill me if I gave away her seat heaters... Guess I'll stick with the ActiveX. (That it, assuming I ever actually get a Maverick...)

Wow. Just – Wow! That truly is ... unfortunate...! And just when you thought it couldn't get worse: the interior. OMG, that is horrible.

In Texas, you have to buy from a dealer if you purchase in-state. But since the Interstate Commerce Act does not allow states to interfere in interstate commerce, you can still buy a Tesla, but the "purchase" happens out-of-state, and it gets "delivered" to you. I find it quite ironic that the...

Fixed it for you... 🤣

I'm not the one you asked, but from everything I've read, and from talking to several dealers, I believe the answer to BOTH of your questions is "Yes." 1) Ford did not know how many orders were placed over the opening few days - at least not until those orders had already reached "critical...

I was lucky enough to be able to test-drive a Maverick before deciding to purchase one... Though perhaps that's not quite true - I had decided I was going to get one, but the test-drive sealed the deal. A local dealer had a Lariat Eco with ALL the options in Velocity Blue. I will say that...

I don't know if it translates to the Hybrid (much less the EB), but on pure EVs, larger diameter wheels seem to reduce range. True for various Tesla models, Ionic 5, MachE, etc. In some cases its because larger rims bring with them wider tires (more drag), but some of it is just because of the...

Good luck with that. No, seriously! Good luck!

The 2nd car I ever drove was a 1950's era (1953 IIRC) VW van (Combi, as it was called in Brazil). Originally had a whopping 36 HP, but ours had well over 400,000 km on it, and had been "rebuilt" numerous times. We had to drive up a fairly steep mountain road on a regular basis. If all five of...

But since insurance is heavily regulated in most states, I'm sure that most (but probably not all) of that savings should be passed through to customers. [PS - See me later if you're interested in some great ocean-front property in Arizona...]

I have an EarthX LiFePo4 Jump Pack that I purchased several years ago. I've used it multiple times to start a lawnmower, a diesel tractor, a 10 kW whole-house generator (battery died at THE most inopportune time), several cars, one diesel truck, and even a 360 cubic-inch airplane engine. It's...

Added two orders to the list. One for my Maverick and one for my wife's. Both orders are the same (for now). We're debating color on her order...

I gotta call BS on that claim... Typical electricity cost for the fleet average (mix of all 277 EV models) is around $0.045 per mile driven. (A 21 Mustang MachE is around $0.043, so that's about right.) Using that average, a 320-mile trip would cost under $15. The only way it cost $100 to...

I carry a little EarthX Portable LiFePo4 Jump Pack. It's both smaller and lighter than the jumper cables it replaced. I've successfully jump-started a 360 cubic-inch airplane engine, a John Deere diesel tractor, numerous gas-engined cars, the 10 KW whole-house generator at my previous...
