Highly recommend Bellingham Ford. Ask for Marty. Tell him I sent you. No BS all the way through the process. No stupid add ons, no upsell, no tricks.
And yes, they have markups on vehicles on the lot, everybody does. But they were completely up front about it and guaranteed my order was...
Baseplate goes on the vehicle being towed. This has to be designed and tested for each vehicle.
Tow bar goes on the vehicle that is doing the towing. These are relatively generic, with different models for different weight classes and features but otherwise they are "one size fits all" since...
Hard to say for sure. And Ford might not even be consistent on this. But on the other hand Ford themselves removed some of the shutters as part of the 'engine fire' fix. So who knows. Potentially ANY aftermarket modification could be used to deny a warranty claim.
I had Roadmaster set up my Jeep Cherokee last time I got a toad. Cost was $3,300 and included everything on both the Jeep and the motorhome.
I will likely have them do the Maverick when I get around to it. We live only a few hours from the Roadmaster factory so it was easy enough to have them...
No. Unless that is an actual scaled weight. I wouldn't quibble over a couple hundred pounds if it was actually scaled. But manufacturers (especially those selling ultra lights) quote 'dry weight'. Which is absolutely empty. No gear, no food, no bedding, empty tanks, no spare tire, etc...
I have not put ceramic on my Maverick yet. I did have my wife's ID.4 done professionally. The detail shop told me it should last 2 years with care. Provided we hand washed. And they offered a relatively cheap 'renew' at one year.
Like most things you get what you pay for. Ceramic coatings...
Customer Order Verification Program. Intended to ensure that a retail order was from an actual customer, not a dealer. As I understood it, this was required during the 2022 order period and if you didn't get it some things like your "Private Offer" on roll overs did not get applied.
For...
That is exactly what you should have gotten. The only one missing is an acknowledgement that your dealer did the COVP paperwork, which they might not have done.
So you are good. The next email will be something stating your vehicle has been moved to in production status, hopefully.
"Shouldn't". But not all dealers followed the rules.
And I didn't "imply" that, I stated it. Because they can and have. Not all dealers are honest or even understood the rules.
Like I said: sort of. I'm not quite clear on when it takes over or what it does. Just boosts power steering reaction, maybe? Seems like that might cause an oversteer?
That your dealer is not your friend.
The lower the number the better, 19 is the worst you can get but is the default. Retail orders get dealer assigned codes of 10-19. 10 is best. Under 10 can only be assigned by Ford and usually means Ford is starting to work on your truck.
If your...
Driving / parking in dry grass is very different from parking on asphalt. Depends on your location / climate and what type of ground you are parking on. When I did field work, I always carried a shovel which for brush fires is (IMHO) a better solution than a fire extinguisher.
For actual...
Your error was in waiting for your dealer to tell you anything. I have visited (in person) with my dealer at least every two weeks since I ordered. They know me when I walk in.
If you did not get emails from Ford about the status then your dealer either did not put in your email with the...
If you have you order number you should chat or call Ford directly. I would also physically go to another dealer and ask for the sales manager. Explain the issue and ask what happens to the order and request they look into it and transfer it if possible. If the other dealer did go out of...
