Ford I guess bought patents from Aisin? I watched video on youtube and fords unit looks identical to the Aisin one. Seemed like a straight out steal by Ford. Unless they bought a patent or patent was no longer good.
I sat at auto show in back of Tacoma that is what I thought about that model too compared to the Mav at show. . Less leg room. I was amazed. They had no 2023 Chevy colorado at show BUT it sounds like the same as Tacoma as far as leg room. BUT the Tacoma was wider. .Chevy is nice looking to me.
My point exactly on next order date order several at many dealers or be a sucker and order one and not get one. Order many is NOT gaming its necessary with Fords incompetence.
The Bison SOLD in Canada is MADE in China. I asked this question on youtube video of owners to look to see if it had a Made In label. Yes China. So not sure why ONLY Bison has it for that price. I plan to drive up 1.3 hour drive and get one if I ever get a Mav. Not sure if border patrol will...
If I had no money issues i would get either the Mid size chevy of Tacoma. Not too big but much safer. Being up high saves your butt at times. Thinking of dear hits is one. Bigger is almost always safer.
I have lost track of when things happened so sorry if Iam way off base. What date did Ford raise the price by $500 ? If you made ANY changes after that date didn't you lose the price guarantee? Again I can't remember when they price increase was?
42K for a maverick. Okay then. You allowed the dealer to rip you 3 k in add ons. Watch youtube videos by Carmax Zack and Ray or the Homework guy channel. Learn how to negotiate better. BUT hey if your happy then good for you. I would buy a Tacoma at that price. But hey that's just me.
I did it the way you say. I placed one order. I have no order in sight and doubt I will. I was a SUCKER for only placing one order. Nice guys finish last. No more.
Drop the atkinson cycle engine. I doubt it. Atkinson cycle while less power per size gets better MPG Hybrids are about MPG not power. Hence you get non hybrid 2.0 turbo if you want power.
I guessed at battery size. But I get your point. To me its not worth the higher price. . Some might not agree. Some math at 3.5 a gal thats about 1571 gallons of gas at 39 mpg thats about 61000 miles. Are you going to travel 61000 miles all EV plug in. Maybe, not me. Plus that 61000 mile...
This whole unknown allocation thing is just stupid. Ford doesn't care so if they get double or triple or 20 times more orders than really wanted its TOTALLY ON THEM. Simple fix only allow the number a dealer can order by how many allocations they are allowed for the year. No more BS Ford doesn't...
Heck order 20. FORD caused this issue so if everyone orders 20 Ford deserves it. I would say at least 4 orders for 2024. problem is finding 4 dealers you could trust NOT to rip you off if it comes in. .
A plug in would for sure raise the price maybe by as much as 7 grand BUT I can't see a 14 grand increase. So not really much more profit as 7 grand is closer to cost. Going from a 1.1 KW battery to say a 25 KW battery is very costly. Plus not sure any bigger motors would be needed but for sure...
I like the Mav BUT it sure isn't worth thousands above MSRP . MSRP was a rip off just a few years ago. Norm was a grand or two below. IKf desperate buy something else sell in 3 years buy a Mav. BUT if your old 70 plus have the money before you die sure go for it.
