I'd tell them it's a deal-breaker. They can require it, but you don't have to order the truck from them. Find a dealer who's not playing those sorts of games and, before you place your order, be sure to get a signed purchase agreement that includes everything you'll pay at time of delivery.

For clarity, the red underlined comments in the quote within @Glen Baker LLC's post above were not in my original comments. They've been added to the quote. He makes a good point. It's why I am a loyal customer of 3M adhesive products. I don't care if they are more expensive; they just work...

Obviously, I'm not a lawyer and don't want to play one on TV. That's why I included the link in my post and that article does include copyrighted designs, as you noted. What remains unclear is if Mabett modified your design. Your comment that they "are in the right in terms of the law"...

IMHO, there are some flaws in OP's original post. First is casting aspersions on vendors specific to this forum when, in reality, it's just as easy to urge people to do their due diligence with any seller, storefront or online. Second, by not providing any specific information to support his...

My experience was similar to yours but in October 2021. During my first search, I spotted the Maverick EB on the dealer website on a Thursday morning, called to confirm it was there and available, then drove up to Ayer, MA to see it. The ordering customer had refused it the day before because...

Congrats on getting the Maverick. Mine has been up your way a few times (Tenants Harbor/Port Clyde/Owls Head). We'll be back in Owls head in August for the Transportation Museum Annual Auction. I volunteer there every year. Have fun with the new ride!

These are what we have besides our daily drivers (my Maverick and her Fusion). Collectively, they provide a classic muscle truck, classic muscle car, and street-legal go-kart experience.

Our 2018 Fusion Platinum and 2022 Maverick XLT are the first vehicles for which we've purchased extended warranties. Part of the reason is that replacement parts for most electronic components have become so expensive that one claim can pay for the warranty. Ditto with transmissions. We also...

I believe only the Lariat has it. My XLT doesn't have it.

Dealerships change hands sometimes, so you'll want to make sure that hasn't happened here. They could also have a new sales manager looking to boost his bonuses. Who knows? The items quoted (protection plan and acquisition fee) as mandatory would make me find another dealer. I bought mine as a...

If I remember correctly, the acquisition fee that shows up on the Ford website assumes a lease rather than a purchase. It shouldn't be there for anyone who isn't leasing.

They are charging you for dealer-added options (vehicle protection plan?) and extra dealer profit (acquisition fee). I'd find another dealer that plays it straight. I'd like to know what the "non-tax fee" is; doc fee, maybe? Anyway, this doesn't sound like a reputable dealer.

Hate the grille and the wheels. The rest is not enough to make me want one.

We did something similar for our two sons. We got them each a new Fiesta to use for college. As long as they were in school, we made the payments. My oldest son's car was paid for by the time he graduated, so he had to get a loan and buy it from us once he started working. My youngest dropped...

Over the course of 13.2K miles, I've averaged 26.7 MPG on a 2022 EB AWD Maverick. My common highway mileage is typically in the 32-34 MPG range. My best ever mileage (39 MPG) on a single 20-mile run came from a 2-lane county road with no traffic lights, no stop signs, and a 55MPH speed limit...

Welcome! Worcester area, here. Bought mine off the dealer lot as a refused order in October 2021 for MSRP. It's an EB AWD with Lux, CoPilot 360, and a bunch of other stuff. Just over 13K miles now and I'm very happy with it.

This morning I was talking to our police chief following a budget meeting and we started to talk about cruisers. It turns out he tried to save the town some money by purchasing a couple of Ford hybrid PIU cruisers and they've been nothing but trouble. One of them is currently down and has been...

12mm or 14mm is just the thread pitch of the studs. The head of the nut doesn't matter as long as it's the same type of seat as the wheel (acorn, etc.).

Just about any of the tri-folds will be easy to install/remove but none of them will help hold down your load because they all (as far as I know) can only be secured either fully closed or in the 2/3 open or fully propped up position. The closest thing, functionally, to what you described would...

Check pricing on Jeraco caps. I believe they are less expensive than ARE and the quality is comparable. We used to be a dealer for them before I sold my shop.
