Ford told everyone what to expect. They were fully transparent. Problem is the dealers didn't adhere to it. And the consumers decided to roll the dice in large quantity. Now they are mad at Ford instead of the dealer. Ford did a poor job last year predicting things. This year they learned and...

Shutting off orders only works on a FIFO system. This is based off allocations. The issue is that dealers didn't stick to their approximate allocation structure and direction by Ford. They kept taking hybrid orders instead of pushing to Ecoboost. Go to a restaurant, order the steak. After 30...

You have Ford's answer you just don't like it. They are over their allotment on hybrids. It may or may not get built. No way they can tell you for sure, it's not how their system works. So make a decision based upon the available data (it's a coin toss), not the data you wish you had. You have...

Dealer is Mac Haik Ford. The difference from my understanding is UV protection to prevent fading. The lady at Line-x Katy said if it goes off sale, just mention you were told at Christmas time it was on sale for $550 and they typically will honor that.

I got the Truxedo Pro X15. Nice enough to be happy long term. Cheap enough if I decide to upgrade later not out a ton. I got it along with the TS rail system. Right now they are sitting in my living room (Christmas gift) waiting for the truck. Window sticker populated yesterday so it's on the...

Dealer in Houston said $695. Line-x said standard $500. $600 typically for premium but on sale for $550. Most dealers don't do in house. Pretty sure my dealer is just taking to Line-x and keeping the mark up. Both have lifetime warranty.

Had a BAK cover on a Titan I rented the last week. Not impressed... Didn't do great keeping dry. Didn't fit well. Heavy. Glad I went a different direction.

You have an Ecoboost on order, you will get built. Allocations make it when, not if for EB.

All this talk that a Maverick is incapable of off roading is crazy talk. There are videos all over of the Maverick doing some hairy stuff, and that was before the Tremor came out. The Tremor is basically the Bronco Sport without the camera and reduced angles. Angles are always sacrificed on...

Yeah not sure what people are making an issue out of the Maverick handling that. I was doing trails way harder than that in my Cherokee Altitude Edition with no issues. It's about going slow and picking the right line. Do it wrong and the Tacoma would be leaving parts behind. Do it right and the...

I know not everyone is having a positive experience. I feel for them and get the frustration. But no one wants it to be a bad experience. And I have never gotten the impression it is a lack of caring (by Ford at least) causing it. Plenty of things that could/should be improved... Caring by...

I know I'll get called a fanboy by some. Others may be upset that a '23 order is built ahead of '22. But with so many complaints, sometimes is nice to share the positive. Overall I'm pretty happy so far with the process. Sure things could go off the rails still but so far so good. Through...

Tacoma has virtually the same ground clearance as Tremor . That's assuming you don't have mods which change things. As I mentioned before, not much in Tacoma can do off-road that a Maverick Tremor couldn't.

Not many places at Tacoma can go that a Tremor couldn't. It's not like he's talking about a Wrangler or something. I'd keep the Tacoma because unless there's a compelling reason I drive vehicles till I can't anymore. But I don't think for his use cases, assuming there's no significant towing...

I was originally scheduled for week of 1/2. Got the email to move to 1/9. No window sticker. When I did a chat with Ford last week they said it showed week of 1/22. When I asked my dealer they said they are anticipating late January or early February delivery based upon what they see in the...

They gave everyone the option to switch from hybrid to Ecoboost. They haven't closed that option. To me that should say enough of their confidence in building all the hybrids. There were orders vs capacity overage for hybrids by 50% per reports. Reports say only a small percentage of people...

I posted this in another thread. There is an entire thread to people installing the hitch and harness. Not sure how or why people jumped on this rumor. Just because one salesman says something doesn't make it gospel. You can install a hitch after market...

No, I get it. I'm not saying she should have lied. But you can say "I looked away didn't see them stop" without owning you committed a traffic violation with a pretty hefty fine in most places.

Sorry this happened. I find myself playing Monday Morning Quarterback on what you could have done... But really you shouldn't have had to and I don't know if any of us really know if the dealer screwed up so I get it. Whether or not Ford SHOULD step in, they won't. I won't get into that...

Very different transmissions on Ecoboost vs Hybrid. Which are you asking about?
