Florida dealers including Ft. Myers charge around $1k for fees and may be $300 after market floor mats. Nitrogen fill is also a thing with other options would be around $599. Tax is depends on your county. In Lee county would be around$2k. Plus plate fee or transfer fee around $200-450. Total...

You do what it is good for you. Some people used to drive a slower car without sound dampening, so the Maverick hybrid is a huge step up. Some traded a fully loaded full size truck with bi turbo or V8 for a little truck just to go green and found out how dangerous it was to drive a Maverick...

In Texas, those would have been bigger. Several sand box trucks did not cover the top when I drove on I-20. Some of the flat bed 18 wheelers had several big rocks perfectly distance from each other on the flat beds ( intentionally?).

Not really. It still has a newer small screen. Customers have to pay extra for a bigger screen. It has some updated inside and barely noticeable outside. I did not pop up the hood but I doubt that it would have any sound dampers inside fenders. It was not even worth time to test test drive it...

I drove a 2022 Escape titanium loaner for about 3k miles. It was a nice car but it was shaky like Maverick and the cabin had a lot of road/engine noises like Maverick. To me, Escape is almost identical to Maverick including cheap build quality. I do not even want to talk about a bronco sport. I...

New Escapes already have new screens. Base gets a small one. Upgraded screen in higher trims get a bigger one.

@Montana How could you tell it is a 2.0? Based on OP experience, I think it is a 1.5. You made the right choice. I would not touch anything lower than 2.0L (could be 1.9xxL) T or no T. I drove a Bronco sport 1.5L as a loaner for a weekend. I had it switch with another vehicle on Monday early...

The escape might have a 1.5L EB. A 2.0L EB would give a faster feeling compared to a 2.5L hybrid because it is actually faster. Turbo lack on 2.0 is barely noticeable compared to a 1.5.

I was told by one dealer that they would charge installation fees for dealer install options. I recalled the options were at MSRP or lower compared to purchasing separately. If there were to be purchased separately, customers would have to pay for installation for sure. Another dealer installed...

Escape PHEV has a bigger battery compared to a similar hybrid setup. You would definitely enjoy faster acceleration.

I feel you. It is not going to be easy to finish the end curve corners of the hood but it is doable. The picture from another member looks good and the price is not bad. I think I paid more than that.

I don't park my cars under trees anymore. Ford triplecare covers PDR. The plan can be bought during the sale or online under 5k miles. It does not cover hail damage. I have the plan on another car. Keep in mind that unlike ESP, Triplecare plan starts on the day and mileage of transaction. This...

My dealer used screws on only one of the Fords that I bought from them recently. I'm very certain that it was something elase on/behind the bumper for each screws. I think they only used two screws not three and the screws seemed to be heavily coated for rust proofing. I often use 3M tape at the...

Granger Ford is good. I have been seeing bad comments about Granger Ford but those comments are nonsense. A friend got a vin couple weeks ago for 10/30 schedule.

I totally agree with you. In April 2022 during the peak of part shortage, a Toyota dealer said I could order a Corolla, a Camry or a Rav4 (gas, hybrid, not Prime) for MSRP with waiting time around 45 days. The salesperson mentioned that the waiting time should be less than 30 days but 45 days...

If you had $750 PCO in 10/2021, you may have another one under your name now. We have been receiving that offer almost year round (most of the year except Q4 if I remember correctly). I just used one in May for a Maverick. You can ask the dealer to check the offer under your name or go to a big...

I drilled all four holes and nailed down the fasteners. I emailed the company, waited for a week and called to follow up. A replacement was delivered within a week after the call.

I like it that you shoot straight. When I bought my first (compact) car, I thought it was so good and quite fast. I knew I was a fool when I moved to a snow bird town where most cars were fully loaded. I could not catch up to any one when traffic lights turned green. 7+ sec was fast in 1980s. As...

Hybrid Maverick is fast???? I must have gotten a lemon. It gave me the feeling of the slowest car that I have ever owned. I think it is as slow as a Nissan Sentra 1.8s. EB has decent power which is much more than a hybrid.

Pennzoil platinum is around $24 for a 5 quart bottle with $10 rebates per 5 quarts with 10 quarts purchased. I do not feel the need of budget oil change.
