My C-Max was the very first one sold in Las Vegas when it launched in 2012; my customer order beat all dealer stock deliveries. Those were the days, huh? :ROFLMAO: 145,000 miles later and she's still a great vehicle; although I think she still holds it against me leaving the southwest desert...

I was born and raised between Detroit and Toledo and that was terrible winter weather: something happens on the far west side of Lake Erie that most of the time dumps a nasty mix of sleet, freezing rain, and slushy snow. I went to college just outside of Grand Rapids, MI about 15 miles east of...

I didn't pay attention to the locations until @ShadowBlack XL440 brought them up and now I am having a traumatic flashback to this weekend trying to find parking at Severance Hall 10 minutes before show-start. I just moved to Amherst a few months ago from Indiana and am glad I don't have to deal...

Don't know if the university professors software/tools ever caught it for me in the mid-late 2000's, but my "hack" was to increase the font size of my periods and commas. Size 12 to 14 wasn't a visible/massive difference, but it did dramatically increase the spacing. Spread that out over a 10...

What was shocking for me was going to my local dealership and sitting in a Maverick and a Ranger back to back. I'm a large man (5'10" 350lbs, down from 390lbs at my largest) and the Ranger was a PITA getting in and out of, even with running boards; I had to step up and fold myself down to get...

Car companies desperately need to embrace "fun" colors again. Love them or hate them, at least they make you feel some way about them. I think that Bolt looks great! My wife's Bolt EUV is Chevy's true blue color and it looks great as well. I switched my Maverick order to hot pepper red just to...

What it is capable of towing vs what it's rated to tow are two very different things when it comes to any potential insurance claims. If I'm towing a small camper for 8+ hours, I don't want disaster to strike and my insurance company to throw their hands up because I exceeded the rating by 500...

EcoBoost: AWD and 4k Tow Battery Boost: Sad face :cry: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: AWD and 4k Tow made me abandon the thought of ordering the hybrid; wife and I are planning on a camper to soon-follow the Maverick (if I ever get one). If the day comes and they offer a hybrid with AWD and 4k...

It's a hybrid pickup. A hybrid... pickup. The original 1964.5 Mustang was 8.2 seconds 0-60. The 1967 Mustang GT was 0-60 in 7.3 seconds. The 1996 Mustang GT with it's new and "technologically advanced" 4.6L V8 was 6.6 seconds. The mid-90's Ranger with its 3.0L V6 couldn't crack 10 seconds...

The biggest problem with that is Ford isn't saying "we have no bananas" to the customers en masse; they're mumbling it in their hallways and dropping post-it notes saying it hoping the janitor gets the word out. Also: you say bananas, I say cyber orange fruit boomerangs.

I'm hoping you're not meaning it as such, but this comes across as victim-blaming. I agree Ford would probably be able to produce a noticeable percentage more if they had less choices and more standardized packages. Is it really the consumer's fault if Ford offers all these different levels of...

Me trying to make sense of the notifications by comparing engines, trim, options, customer location, etc.:

I feel there are a couple key variables at play when judging the screens in vehicles (aesthetics, functionality, and overall specs like computing power and brightness) and that this will continue to become a hot topic of discussion over the coming years. Personally, I believe the sweet spot for...

**Pending constraints**

I changed my 2023 EB order about 3 weeks ago from Atlas Blue to Hot Pepper Red, so it is still very much an available color. Wife just got a Chevy Bolt EUV in Chevy's true blue and it looks great, but I didn't want to have two almost identical shades of blue in the driveway. Personally, I have...

I could absolutely be misremembering what I read, but I thought that since the remaining MY22s didn't rollover automatically that they all went in as "normal" MY23 orders with dealers instructed to mark them priority 10?

Hmmm, you should probably reach out to customer service for help with that. Here's the link: https://www.ford.com/help/contact/#chat

(Looks as sees location listed as Alabama) **Proceeds to laugh in lake-effect, rust-belt Midwest**

I doubt I will opt for a 10 year plan, but possibly a 7 year. Ultimately I am crossing my fingers that Ford will finally pull their heads out of their rear and offer a Maverick, Ranger, or Bronco in an AWD PHEV version that can tow a small camper (4k or more) within the next 5 years and I will...
