I am currently trying to install the universal Tracrac. I cut 4.25" off the height so it isn't so far above the cab. I am currently having a little trouble because of the black plastic piece that goes over the top of the frame of the bed. The plastic piece has a small step on it and I don't...
I just removed mine and the bottom of the cavity appears to be a plastic body part so you wouldn't want to put anything at all heavy. It might also get exposed to spray from the wheels.
I am also waiting for this part or a 3rd party part.
Supply and demand is what it is I get that. I asked the dealer mark up at another ford dealership and he said it was another thousand or two higher so I know it wasn't just them thinking they could trick me. That sucks but it is what it is. If your gold coin goes up in price due to demand, who...
The dealer mark up was actually less than the other Ford dealership I contacted, another dealership had a markup either 1 or 2 thousand higher. I guess I could have tried to order one from the mainland and had it shipped in but then I would have had to commit to the truck without ever test...
The coating is Resistall NG2. Actually comes with some sort of warranty if I understand. The VIN etching too actually came with a warranty. If my car is stolen within 3 years I get $2500 back.
Doing some reading I understand that the ceramic coating can be a good product so I know it wasn't a complete ripoff. However personally, I never wash my cars. They are tools to me and I don't care if they look dirty. If I get scrapes I don't fix them beyond maybe the factory paint can touch up...
I did not put any money down and I had no obligation to purchase the truck if I didn't like it when it came so I guess I couldn't say it was mine.
The "plus taxes and fees" is the gray area they played in. A "covid cleaning fee" for example. I guess I learned a lesson that I should have asked...
The manager was not happy, he said don't threaten him with bad reviews and the better business bureau. He said he would sell if minus the $1500 as long as I promised to leave him a 5 star review. I responded by saying the best I can do is to just leave no review at all because I am not going to...
So I bought the truck. I got them to waive the $1500 for the ceramic coating but couldn't get them to go down to original agreed upon price. I had to let them know I would leave an honest review on Yelp and the manager wasn't happy with that "threat". I had previously said I would buy it if they...
I called a friend who was a mechanic for a dealership. He told me that the ceramic coating is actually good and he paid that much for it to be done to his mother's vehicle but he said to ask what grade of coating it was and what guarantees it comes with. So the ceramic coating doesn't appear to...
At the bottom it said "*plus taxes and fees". This was never laid out specifically.
It isn't a markup I am pissed about it was dealer add-ons which are additional things dealers add on which are not Ford factory options. So the ford factory didn't add ceramic coating, the dealer themselves had...
So I ordered a Maverick XL in January and it just came in. I got the base model upgraded with the gas engine, a tow hitch, and tail gate lock which made the truck about $22K. Dealer told me that their markup was $3995 due to the high demand and limited supply of this truck. This wasn't going to...
