Sorry, not meant to be disparaging. The only parallels between a “market adjusted” Maverick and a designer pocketbook is that whoever buys it, they want it badly and can afford it.
The “why” is easy…they want it real bad and can afford it. It’s like asking a woman why she’d want a $300-$500 designer pocketbook. I wouldn’t pay 3-5K over MSRP, even though I want one and can afford it...it’s a matter of practicality and principle. I’ll wait for my base XL to be built.
Yeah my XL is hybrid. I don’t “need” a new truck. My 2011 Ranger 4x4 only has 92K miles. I knew I’d probably have to wait a year when I ordered. But I hate the thought of maybe having to reorder in July if Ford is not doing order carryovers to the 24MY. But I guess, if I want a Maverick...
Thanks for the info. I really don’t expect anything until I get a VIN, I am just a little surprised there aren’t more celebratory posts. What did you order and when did you order (if you don’t mind me asking)? I ordered my XL 9/17/22. Only options were a hitch and a full size spare. Neither...
I’m a newbie here (just a few days). I’ve browsed most of the forums and have yet to notice where someone says “Got my VIN today! Scheduled for xx/xx/2023 ! (description of their order). Am I missing them ?
Yeah, probably…but in manufacturing, it’s always a crapshoot when you roll out a new item. If not for the pandemic scaring the crap out of everyone and creating supply chain issues, production vs sales may have been more in line. The rollout plan was in place long before the pandemic. In the...
Here’s the info I found:
What Comes With The Maverick 4K Tow Package?
While the cost of the 4K Tow package isn't grand, what comes with it is quite impressive. The package includes 225/65R17 tires for XL and XLT trims (Lariat already comes equipped with 225/60R18 tires), a 2-inch trailer hitch...
I don’t think so. I could be wrong, but I think the standard hitch is a 4-pin connector while the 4K package has a larger connector (6 or 8 pins) for larger trailers with electric brakes.
Trailer hitch constraint pisses me off. When I ordered (9/17/22) Hitches weren’t a problem.. I deleted a couple of options because they were a problem at that time
Does Ford prioritize certain models (Lariats over XL’s) or do they just start what they have parts for (eco-boost over hybrid)? BTW, new member…sorry if this is a repetitive question!
Change it when you feel good about it. IMHO, you can’t change oil too often. the engine may not NEED it, but it won’t hurt anything (except your wallet).
I received my order confirmation about a week after I ordered…mid September, 2022. Received an email from Ford in the first week of November, 2022, promising 45 day updates. Nothing since, although my dealer calls about once a month to let me know they haven’t forgotten me.
