I far prefer the hybrid even if I would like AWD and the ability to tow more than 2K. My reasons:
Atkinson Cycle 2.5L engine
NOT 2.0L turbo-charged small dispacement engine
Far better MPG
Nice bridge to eventual EV
Proven technology
Reliability
Relative simplicity
Solid eCVT transmission that...
Maybe your dealer can add the Remote Start System to your order now?
Just in case you weren't aware, by using the FordPass app on your phone you'll have the capability to remote start without paying $170 for that option that adds the convenience to the key fob.
Regarding one comment in the video, if you are one of those who placed an order more than a year ago, doesn't this imply that you are now in FoMoCo's rollover process with your new 23MY order carrying a FoMoCo-applied Priority 2 status that results in you being unlikely to get "juked again"...
It's a real pity for Ford to have such a huge success but not really being able to take full advantage of it while the competition races to come out with their own contenders. By comparison, made me wonder how many Mustangs Ford was able to sell/produce when they first were introduced. Wow...
In this good overview of the topic Sam Haymart points out that Ford has stated that unfulfilled 2023 hybrid orders will not be rolled over to 2024 orders as they were in 2022.
In case anyone wasn't already aware, another way to review/confirm what is included in your order is to review it in the vehicle order tracking system (shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking). Order # and VIN# required to access this tool.
Here's what I see for my XLT w/XLT Lux Package using the...
I haven't seen rebate mentioned as a delivery method for the $225 discount. It's projected that the $225 will come off the price around the time the final or window sticker pricing gets generated.
If you can get that SIBL added back to your order (costing $495) while resulting in a $225 discount since you already have the CMS ordered, you'll effectively be adding a Spray-in Bedliner for only $270. How can you beat that deal?
I also see Leather Wrapped Heated Steering Wheel included in the XLT Lux Package. But I recall seeing that the leather was being replaced by "pleather" for 2023. Maybe pleather became a constraint so they went back to the natural? ;) Oh well, having one natural item in the cab might clash anyway...
I don't know if anyone has seen it reflected anywhere yet? I thought fordvideoguy and or others have indicated that it will appear in the end when window sticker or other final pricing is generated. That's what I'm counting on.
Remember, it has been pointed out by fordvideoguy that ordering the CMS can be confusing for some Sales individuals. You may want to point out that you want to add the "BED TIE DOWN LOCKING RAILS w/2 LOCKING BRACKETS" (order code 61D). That's the same item that can confusingly also be referred...
BTW, if you're told they included the SIBL because it was dropped from the Lux Package, then I might ask why then did they not also incude the CMS as it also was dropped from the Lux Package. And the same is true for the $170 Remote Start System if you want to point that out as well.
You can't "get the bed rails thrown fo nothing."? Won't the dealer add the Cargo Management System to your order? Or is it too late in your case? If you can get it added, it's been confirmed in this forum that having both SIBL and CMS will qualify you for the "$495 discount special". It may show...
When folks mention "based on dealer allocations", is that actually a factor for those with canceled 22MY orders that have been transitioned to Priority 2 23MY orders? Hope not...
If you have a cancelled/transitioned 22MY order that was resubmitted as a 23MY order with a dealer designated Priority 10 thru 19 replacing the initial Priority 99, I thought the process was for Ford to then take that 23MY order and make it a Priority 02 order.
Since I don't see Cross Bars listed as an option when using the Online Build tool, I was thinking that $335 option must have been for The Bed Divider Kit...
I netted out and compared the price for my originally ordered 22MY Maverick XLT that was canceled/transitioned to a Priority 02 23MY Maverick XLT. Keeping everything the same, both times I ordered an XLT with Lux Package, Manual Rear Sliding Window, and Co-Pilot 360. Of course for the 23MY I...
