If the order window is still open on Friday, 7/21, I’ll be surprised. Even with the price increases, the Maverick is still the best deal in the category regardless whether it’s EB or Hybrid. Plus, I think Ford has months of production usage just from carryover orders.

Even with the increases, my XL Hybrid is still at a better price than any other small hybrid truck.

I’m not sure what I’ll do. I wanted a hybrid for the mpg; but I can buy a lot of gas for $1500. I only drive about 5000 miles/year, anyway. On the other hand, nothing in the small truck category is going to be any cheaper, even with the $1500 bump.

We will need to know by the 17th, when we initiate our rollover orders. I’m not sure what I’ll do if my XL hybrid ends up priced higher than an XLT EB.

Some folks are just a little OCD like that. It drives my wife crazy that the thermostat in the hall and the thermometer in our bedroom don’t read exactly the same.

Not to worry, I won’t be canceling my ‘23 in favor of a 24. I was mainly wondering about the people who want the latest and greatest regardless of extra cost, because it’s possible that the last of the 23’s and 24’s could be delivered at the same

From the stats shown on MTC, Ford never expected the demand for hybrids to be so high. Remember, many of the manufacturer‘s decisions are made years in advance of production, and based on agreements made with suppliers at that time. Most major manufacturers, of any product, are not agile...

$500, refundable. I didn’t mind. When the order banks opened for MY23, Ford wasn’t basing filled orders on allocation, I don’t think. I felt better knowing that I had some money on the table, and a “contract”, although it wasn’t binding. I would worry that an unscrupulous dealer would get my...

Oh, no! I wouldn’t cancel my order! I just know guys hat have to have the latest and greatest of every vehicle they buy. They trade every year or two!

Nope. Just one of those random, useless thoughts that pop into my head occasionally.

I was just wondering if any of y’all would cancel your unbuilt ‘23 Maverick if you got a guarantee of a delivered ‘24, even though the ‘24 would include price increases. In other words, would you rather have a 23 in hand, or wait another few months for a newer model year?

The “hybrid related” standard warranty from Ford is 8 years/100,000 miles.

I’ve never been a fan of extended warranties for any product. I think I’m way ahead on cost.

You could also use a light and try to gauge the thickness of the metal you’re tapping. Extending the screws (or the tap) past the tapped metal won’t give you any more grip.

Yep. If I couldn’t get spray in, I’d rather have a rubber mat than a drop in.

I’ve had several drop in liners in my 70 years. Every one of them, if/when you took them out, had rubbed bare spots in the paint in the bed.

Just what is “price protection by private offer”? I’ve seen it mentioned a couple of times in this thread, and I understand that is what happened in 22-23, but I don’t understand the terminology.

$500. i wasn’t surprised. I expected it and thought it was reasonable. I get it back if I cancel. I thought this was/is standard practice. No?

Yeah, the paperwork I signed with my order detailed my out-the-door cost. I’m not a lawyer so I can’t say whether it’s legally binding, but I think it’s pretty close. Paperwork signed and money exchanged hands.

Yeah, I’ve heard about Bigfoot sightings, but I’ve never seen him myself. Just kidding. I went through the process of trying to find one within 300 miles. No luck, and I really didn’t want to fly across the country. I found a few, but nothing near MSRP…plus, I can afford to wait. My old 2011...
