What's the knock on the Continentals? Admittedly they're not very stylish.

I surprised many people panned the look. It's a classic hot rod style.

In the Chicagoland area it seems like the SC is hanging in there at a 1 SC to 2 Mav ratio if I don't count commercial fleet Mavericks.

I have owned mostly Fords my adult life, but I did once own a Mitsubishi Mighty-Max. I don't recall it being all pristine and polished underneath. I recall it being the same as any other vehicle except for a thick coat of nasty tar-like undercoat.

Wonderful idea, It looks great. I thought about doing a light grey on mine, but was concerned about how it would look after it had some wear and tear on it.

Here is a picture of a steering knuckle/spindle I pulled off my 09' Escape. You'll notice the machined mating surfaces and it may be hard to tell, but it was never painted from the factory. I also posted up a pic of a knuckle with the OEM raw cast appearance.

There maybe some quality issues somewhere, but the paint on the spindle isn't one of them. It only stands out because the spindle was painted prior to the machining operation. Most factory spindles I've seen aren't even painted. This is a nothingburger.

That is essentially what I said.

I wasn't necessarily singling out Ford. I'm not buying the geo-political goings on as an all purpose excuse. There's always something going on in the world. It seems to me like the plant in Hermosillo is too small to keep up with demand. That's the bottom line. Also the originator of the...

What was the pre-Amazon lead time to order vehicle? +9 month waits for non-hybrid vehicles seem a tad long.

It would make sense for Ford to pitch Rangers to their Maverick waiting list at discounted cost. I'd take the right deal.

Forget about size. Your biggest problem with your co-worker is going to be explaining to her every passing month why your truck hasn't arrived.

In the end I think black will be among the top 4 popular colours offered on the Mav just because black tends to be a consistently popular car colour. I think sales will; line up: A51, Cactus Grey, the bright blue, and then shadow black
