100% agree. Traffic and drivers in, and around, Houston have gotten ridiculous over the last few years. It seems like a totally different city than it did just 10 years ago.
Glad you're OK. Sucks about your new truck. FYI, if you're going to be looking for a replacement, Helfman Ford should be getting a XL, AWD, 4K, CP360, in Iconic Silver, sometime in the next couple of months, if it ever gets scheduled. I had to have a truck before the start of the summer and...
So, still unscheduled for my EB Maverick, and really needing to have a truck bed again before the summer, I decided to jump ship and bought a new Ranger. Upon hauling my first long load in the bed, do you know what I found. The entire tailgate IS on equal plane with the bed. Who woulda thunk it?
I needed a truck by the summer time and kept holding out, even after that timeframe was not attainable. So, I finally gave up on my Maverick and bought a new Ranger this last weekend. Honestly, I think I got the better vehicle, at least for me anyways.
Couldn't wait any longer. I told myself in the beginning that I needed my truck before the end of May, but kept holding out and still not scheduled. Decided that I had waited long enough, so this evening, picked up a 2023 Ranger XLT, Sport, 2WD, Locking Rear Diff, Tow package, Remote start...
Let me just say, I am a vindictive MF'er. I would go far and beyond one negative review. I would find any place I could on the interwebs to $h1t on their name. :LOL:
Seriously though, sorry this happened to you. Honestly, I'd be moving on from Ford as well.
For some reason, I was hopeful last week. Probably because it had been so long since any real scheduling and I have an EB order with limited options. I get the feeling this week, that we won't see much, if any scheduling. I believe the info about scheduling this week is most likely just...
1. I don't have it yet. Attempting to make an informed decision of whether or not to continue waiting or move on, based on valuable feedback from other people.
2. I don't quite get your meaning of "a better fit".
3. No stress here. Again, just getting feedback from current owners, who...
I keep hoping that even if I miss regular scheduling, my iconic silver XL EB can possibly sneak in with fleet orders. :) CP360 and 4K tow are the only options.
Most of the schedule dates that I noticed were May 1st and May 8th. Maybe one or two May 15th. Did anyone get scheduled for the week of May 22nd? Are they using the rest of May to schedule fleet orders?
If I ever get my truck, I'm hoping to talk to the dealer before it is unloaded. I have no desire to have them put any stickers/decals on my vehicle. If they want, they can put a dealer license plate frame on it.
