I'm surprised to see so many here hating on the Rivian, but I guess the typical Maverick owner is... how do I say this politely... "value oriented" :ROFLMAO:. The R1T is an incredible truck and I love mine equally as much as my Mav, but they specialize in very different things. Impossible to...

With the truck using synthetic oil I'll change it every 12 months or whenever the truck's oil monitor hits 0%. It's a Maverick, not a Ferrari; no need to overthink it.

Except road stress is exponential to the 4th power and distributing weight per axle is a better model. All else being equal a 40 ton vehicle does not cause 20x the damage as a 2 ton vehicle. For a full loaded 5 axle truck, that is almost 4,100 times as much damage per axle compared to a car...

This is exactly my point... a maximum annual tax of $550 is laughable when you consider the amount of stress an 80,000 vehicle places on the roadways and bridges compared to the average passenger vehicle.

That's true, but you can make that argument for absolutely everything. Perhaps we should just give diesel away for free so everything we buy at the store is 15 cents cheaper!

This makes sense to me, but how about we also start charging the trucking industry for the actual wear and tear they are putting on the roads. Passenger cars have a minuscule impact compared to an 80,000 tractor trailer.

I suspect Ford will announce that they have all the constrained items on hand, but will be dedicating all Sept/Oct allocation to dealer ordered inventory.

I completely agree. Some would also say it makes the Ford brand look bad to sell dozens of “constrained” hybrid trucks to O’Reilly’s while telling your loyal customers who ordered 12 months ago to go pound sand. I’m not disagreeing with their logic, just pointing out that Ford doesn’t care...

So what’s Ford’s issue with their dealers charging $15k ADMs on Broncos, Mavs, Lightnings, etc? Seems a bit hypocritical.

I thought hybrids were on constraint :rolleyes:. I'm guessing they also didn't have to deal with Ford's BS "allocation" like us lowly plebs. Typical Ford and their dealer network, it's all about who you know and $$$.

I don’t have any experience with PPF film, but have looked into it numerous times and always decided it’s not really worth the cost. That’s includes vehicles that cost upwards of $100k, let alone a Maverick. I’d just drive the truck and enjoy it for what it is. When it comes to resale value...

Still waiting. I would have happily paid for the Ecoboost engine or the Lariat package to get my truck faster if Ford would have provided realistic delivery timeframes. Instead we got radio silence and incompetence.

Ford would be better off just firing their entire Customer Service and Scheduling departments. How do customers who ordered cars in June and July 2021, before they even started production or could read Maverick reviews, still not have production dates? Ford is run these days by f*@#ing idiots...

Don't get too excited by Priority 2, mine has been there for months. Trying to communicate with the dealer or Ford directly is wasting your time. I've never seen this much contempt for the average customer and this will likely be the first, and last, Ford product my family ever owns.

I disagree. Once the layoffs start people will be eager to sell the toys they can no longer afford.

Order Date 7/13/2021 Hybrid XLT, Alto Blue XLT Lux, CoPilot360 Unscheduled

Oh man, I'm stealing this! Every time a Ford exec tweets something I'm immediately responding with this haha.

It doesn't matter what Ford says anymore, it's all BS or just straight lies. Don't tell people their order is constrained and then produce that EXACT SAME TRUCK for someone who ordered 2 months later. They couldn't build hybrids in Q1 so they used all their Lux package items to build EB + Lux...

I'm honestly happy for you, but how can anyone at Ford tell me they can't build my Mav because the Lux and CP360 packages are such a huge constraint, but they have no problem scheduling a f*cking late October order?

Dear Ford, don’t sell options you can’t build. Thanks for using up all the constrained parts on Sep/Oct orders last quarter instead of prioritizing summer orders.
