This makes sense. Dealers who can't deliver newly arrived vehicles can't book the revenue for them and they need to get those sales booked before year-end. I don't mind waiting so that the owners whose trucks are so near, yet so far away can finally enjoy their purchase.
Define cool. Here are my some of my old rides:

I just noticed the Garage Today link is broken, so here's what's currently in the garage:
Maybe this will help you ask the right questions of the dealer or lending institution:

We've always tried to keep a spare vehicle on hand in case we (or one of our kids) need it. When it came time to replace the last one, we decided on the Maverick because the pricing allowed us to have a new spare that was reliable and under warranty. The Maverick ended up becoming my daily...
Ignore the relationship advice. No one here knows you, your girlfriend, or the dynamics of your relationship. That last one should define whether you request a color change or not. It just comes down to your priorities and preferences and the extent to which you accommodate each other.

"Extended inventory" is code for "it's not actually here". If it's a multi-store volume dealer, they may have it at a different location but most likely it's a dealer stock order that hasn't yet come in.
I was an UnderCover dealer for many years and sold a lot of UltraFlex covers. It was actually our go-to because we rarely had a problem. When we did, the customer service was very good but our status as a dealer sometimes got us a better response than if the customer called in directly. That's...
The only Maverick showing at MSRP is the one marked "In Transit". One of the remaining two is $5K over MSRP and the other is $7.5K. I'm betting the MSRP one will get marked up when it arrives.
For classic cars, I've used enclosed via InterCity Lines but that's on the expensive end of shipping.
I've also used Online Shipping Marketplace (uship.com). Post what you are shipping from where to where and you'll get price quotes from transport companies and brokers. You'll also see their...
I had a 2012 F-350 SuperCab short bed for my business but sold it when we decided to sell the business. I stepped down to a 1992 F-150 to use as a 3-season truck, figuring I'd use my Jeep and utility trailer during the winter months if needed.
Then along came the Maverick and the Jeep is now...
The MX4 is a good cover and we sold quite a few of those. The tiebreaker between the MX4 and the UltraFlex was the prop rod design and the warranty period. Check them both out but you can't really go wrong between those two.
I used to sell these in the truck and offroad store I owned. We stopped selling them before the Solid Fold 2.0 came out because of customer complaints of leaking hinges and other problems. At that point we started recommending the Undercover Ultra Flex and had virtually zero complaints with that...
I used to own a truck and offroad shop that sold snow plows as one of our product lines. I also have a snow plow on my 2014 Wrangler.
We sold Meyer Home Plows that use a front-mounted receiver hitch to mount the plow. I ran one of those on my 1999 Jeep Cherokee for several seasons and we...
It's always better to buy something like this at a local truck accessories store. They will typically take care of any warranty issues for as long as the warranty lasts. And with everyone selling most brands at MAP (Minimum Advertised Price), there's usually no downside to buying local.
I used...
I've had mine since October 2021, and I've used the rail tiedowns several times because they are convenient. Would I miss them if they weren't there? Probably not, because I've never had a rail system before and the bed has built-in tiedowns.
Every car buyer should recognize that dealer sales staff are purely transactional. Their focus is on the next prospect to walk through the door, not flying air cover for sales already made (which is how they would categorize an order). This is not a knock on the OP, since they specifically told...
I have a BedRug bed liner in mine and a set of Stayhold cargo organizers. They grab the BedRug so completely that it takes some effort to remove them. I use them to hold my gas cans when I need to refill them, but then can put them out of the way when I need to use the bed for something else...
I got mine at Gervais Ford as well (October 2021). It was a refused order and they sold it to me at MSRP. No games, no dealer adds, no drama. Saw it the day after it was refused and took it home the next day.
