Yep spend a lot of time in Phoenix I get it. Shoot I'm sitting at the hotel bar in Scottsdale typing this...

This sucks. Sorry OP

Y Yeah that was my concern. Running around ranch roads, even without a load, in S TX 98+ degree weather... Would like the radiator of the FX4 / 4k. I will use that and potentially tow more than departure angles and a locking differential.

This was the conclusion I had as well. Same engine, same transmission, same brakes. It's the radiator. Possibly something in the shocks, but that doesn't seem like something that would create an issue. To me the Tremor could handle 4k fine, if not for short hauls that wouldn't get the radiator...

Seems strange. Dealer gets dinged if they have too many orders that don't go to person who ordered. Why would they add a second person not taking order for no benefit? Paying extra?

I'm in metro Houston. Mine hasn't come in yet but when it does (hopefully next month) if they still need some help I'll see what I can do. Maybe they'll reciprocate with some cool stuff. I'm getting FX4 and 4k so should have anything they need covered.

Ok

Have fun this weekend to those going. I'd be there but my sister and BIL are in town so I have to bow out. By next meet I should have a truck!

Soft covers, if properly adjusted for weather, don't flap enough to matter.

Yeah, my dealer made me a 10. They have signed an agreement that I won't get any mandatory adds or ADM. MSRP, and I am scheduled to go into production in near future.

Apples to oranges. Your Maverick Hybrid will be like the escape. The Ecoboost will be closer to Bronco Sport. Could you talk to dealer about passing on hybrid and getting dibs on a passed over Ecoboost?

Fair enough, there were issues with the order banks. Order guide right before, no build engine on website, didn't list rhe cost increase for colors, didn't have the Tremor ready to roll. Those were all craptastic and Ford should be called out for that. But I recall the discussions that Ford was...

The problem with going off pure facts and stats... With the right filter most can be parsed to say almost anything. I imagine both of you are right. It's a matter of the filter.

We will have to agree to disagree on this. Dealers know basically what their approximate allocations will be. Tim has said to that effect before. Plus even if not, they know if they are taking far more hybrid than Ecoboost orders they are not in line. It's not one or two bad actors here. The...

I get that the Santa Cruz isn't for everyone. I have mixed feelings on it, and in the long run decided to order a Maverick vs buy a SC. Also I get that "nicer" is a broad word and a matter of opinion. Having driven both a 36k SC SEL Premium and a 27k Maverick XLT AWD... I can't see how a person...

I think an Ute is a great description. I've been calling it that for a while. Some character, and less polarizing than baby truck, trucklett, etc.

You won't get the bed rail and cleats unless you add it. You'll get the tie downs that the trim you ordered comes with. If you add SIBL you can add the rails for free.

You sound like my wife. I say that a decent bit, and she used to hate it. But she has started saying it herself as she sees the wisdom in the statement. It doesn't mean we are a victim of circumstances. It means there are things we cannot control, and should accept those things. Then we react to...

Curt adapter is confirmed to work. That was a myth started by a salesman on a podcast but not true as confirmed my multiple fonts who have done it. Maybe there is no Ford produced way to do the wiring but there is an aftermarket way. That said, I'd still get the hitch from the factory. If...

Cost of goods aren't reflective of material costs now. They are reflective of prices 6 months to a year ago. They also rarely roll backwards even if material costs drop.
