Another possible source for delay could be CARB rather than EPA. CARB is very particular about any faults that may affect emissions or economy, and how such faults are diagnosed/reported by an ECU. It's not unheard of that CARB drives late hardware or software changes to improve diagnosis of...

The weight difference between a drop-in and a spray-in liner is maybe 10-20 pounds (I'm guessing). That is not going to make a significant difference in fuel economy. In fact, plastic drop-in was lighter than spray-in, at least for the couple of liners I found in a 10-minute search.

Thanks for collecting this info for Maverick. One small change: cells B40:B65 should be Lariat not XLT.

I had a great experience with Carvana as well. We had an older Focus that wasn't being used. It sat a while, had a battery drain issue and a couple of slow leakers. Decided to get rid of it back in the spring. Carvana picked it up from my house (in the rain, no less) and I got paid quickly...

It's true that the auto industry would benefit from moving to more modern CPU architectures (ARM, e.g.). One obstacle is that modern architectures lack some important features found in legacy devices (PowerPC, Aurix, etc) such as memory management, communication & sensor interfaces (CAN/CAN-FD...

Time email received 2:09pm EDT Sched build week Nov 29 Build info Lariat Lux EB AWD 4k Moonroof, 17" wheels/235 Wildpeaks, Cactus Gray (original order was a 1st Ed, changed a couple weeks ago) Region Michigan Original order date Jun 09 Dealer Chapman, Horsham PA 🥳🤩

I share this concern about the electronics. The hardware has improved somewhat, software is increasingly more functional but also more complex/fragile, etc. Now there are modules that are either mated to a VIN or secured via public/private key so they can't be reused on another vehicle, at least...

Yes, I tried to order this combo but dealer said it wasn't orderable. AFAIK the only way to order that wheel/tire combo is via the First Edition package.

I've noticed that as well. I really wanted the Wildpeak tires with the FX4 black wheels, but it seems the only way to get this combo is with the First Ed package. Choosing the Wildpeak on a FX4 requires a wheel "upgrade" to the ones shown in the post above by @Nw_adventure

Park pawl and neutral safety switch are two federal requirements that apply to transmissions/transaxles. I don't know if this constitues "government approval" or not, but it's a FMVSS violation to not meet and there are big fines from the feds.

That might be it, thanks

I recall reading somewhere that orders placed before July 15 would not be subject to a dealer's allocation. Anyone else remember this or am I imagining it?

This thread has the Maverick wheel specs

I ordered pretty early (6/9 2.0 A51), still waiting.

That ratio was published in one of the recent articles on chip shortages. I agree that it sounds too high. In terms of new electronics modules, a hybrid has maybe a dozen incremental modules (e.g., battery controller/monitor, regen braking control, transaxle/inverter control, dc/dc, HV A/C, aux...

This is on another Ford forum:

Well, ThreeScan and FiveScan were taken, so ...

Isn't there a difference between "late availability" and "constrained"? I've thought the definitions were along these lines: Late Avail = this component/feature will not be available until later in the model year Constrained = this item was intended to be available at J1, but is not available...
