My other cars get changed on a yearly schedule because of low milage but the Maverick is being driven more by my wife who commutes a couple of days a week. I insisted she take it in early so the first change was done at 5,769 miles after about four and a half months of ownership. That was well...
The great thing about the YouTube review community is that there is a channel for just about everyone. For me if I watch Savagegeese and Alex on Autos covering a vehicle I come away with a great feel for whether I would personally like the product.
I just got quotes for my 2023 XL hybrid with under 100 miles on it.
Vroom was at $20,000 ($4k under sticker)
Carvana today offered me $24,000 (just under sticker)
This is in California. Obviously both of those are underwhelming offers. Might take it over to CarMax to see what they would...
I'm starting to see more here in Southern California. This week saw an Area 51 XLT driving around our downtown and parked two spots up from a white XLT at Costco. I think last year before I got ours I only saw five of them and pretty sure I saw one of them twice.
When I drove cross country last...
If you want a hybrid you are either waiting for the order window to open or paying a lot of markup. And as others have commented you might not get one even if you order it.
If you want an Eco-boost (non-Tremor) you can probably hold on until the summer and then have a decent shot at finding one...
There was a story a while back about the Hermosillo plant beginning to hire for a second shift. They wasnāt supposed to be ready to start until this summer. I think that will be needed to hit that 300,000 annual production number.
The question then is what are they going to be building? More...
Sometimes you just have to walk out. Last Honda I bought I gave my local dealer a shot. They sent me a price via email what was close to what I was getting quoted elsewhere. So I went in to do the deal. When I got there they wouldn't honor the price and starting trying to play the four square...
493 days from the order my canceled vin rollover came home yesterday. It is an Iconic Silver XL hybrid with the option being the tow hitch. It joins the 2022 Velocity Blue XLT that I got from Long McArthur when I just couldn't wait any longer for my original order to get built.
For those of you...
My sales guy just texted to say the truck has arrived at the dealership. Scheduled to go get it Friday afternoon. That will mark 493 days since the original order.
No rhyme or reason to it. I was ready for a long wait for shipping and it happened the second business day after it was built.
Hopefully yours is on the way soon.
Ordered October 12, 2021 as a hybrid XLT
Scheduled, pushed back multiple times and finally canceled late 2022
Re-ordered November 18, 2022 as a hybrid XL (cruise control!)

Ford email says ETA February 13-19.
Ford tracker says ETA February 10-23...
Look at the side of the dash, ābuilt Ford tough." I think youāll be fine. Between the suspension and the tire sidewall it should be able to handle that bump without issue.
This bit is telling
Next is a need for shared mobility and the opportunity to rent rides, because fewer and fewer people can afford vehicles.
"Electrification is going to make it worse, actually," Farley said.
There is the CEO of Ford telling you to forget about a new car if you canāt afford...
My October 2021 canceled VIN rollover order for an XL with a hitch is scheduled for production next week. Window sticker generated today. Should be at the dealer second half of February.
