Ordered XLT AWD FX4 on 1/26/2022.
On 9/23 - Scheduled Build 10/31 week
On 10/18 - Scheduled Build 11/7 week
On 10/25 - Scheduled Build 11/14 week
Getting nervous that its getting close to the 22MY cutoff date....
I also called my dealer to order a 23MY and was surprised to hear it was scheduled for 10/31 week. My VIN is B069xx. So I don't know if the last 5 digits mean # of vehicles produced.
I feel you. I ordered in January and was hoping to have it for a camping trip in September. The salesman said I should have it by end of May, but it's still not scheduled. Now I'll be using the '06 Toyota Sienna instead. :(
In my mind, advanced safety features is one of the main reasons to get a new model car instead of something older. I know CP360 on the Maverick is less advanced than some other vehicles out there. But I wouldn't consider buying a new car without getting the safety features.
I don't have one yet, but I believe the main mileage benefit of the hybrid is in city traffic. How much of your 70miles is city? If mostly highway, I'm not sure you'll see a large benefit from the hybrid. Somebody else please correct me if I'm wrong.
I thought today (7/18/2022) the order banks were supposed to open for the 2023 Ranger. I got on the Ford website to look, but the 2022 Ranger is the only thing I can see. Is a 2023 Ranger order guide available anywhere? Trying to figure out how this will work in preparation for the 2023 Maverick...
Talked to my Dealer this week (smaller dealer in East Tennessee near Knoxville). They said they received about ~70 orders for the Maverick, and have 34 left to deliver. Not sure how many they're getting in per month or the breakdown on trim, engine, etc. I ordered in late January, and I'm...
I got the 4k to tow a trailer / small boat. I got the FX4 for the tow hooks (aesthetics), wheels (aesthetics), and instrument cluster upgrade (aesthetics). If I could only pick one, I think the 4k is more important (function > aesthetics).
An F150 is a $30k base truck, but can be optioned up to $80k-$90k. So if you have problems on an $80k truck, do you think "well you shouldn't have bought a $30k truck"? I guess I don't understand all the "it's a $20k vehicle" people.
The only reason I went XLT was to get FX4. Otherwise I would have done the XL. The interior does look a little juvenile IMO, but I was OK with it. Plus I plan to give it to my 13yo when he starts driving in ~3yrs.
Never pay for something on a promise to fix it later. Once you've paid, the incentive structure to fix it vanishes. This has been true for almost every contractor I've ever worked with.
