I have on order a '24 XL. I have never seen a Maverick bed in person; will do so for first time when the vehicle is delivered.
I want to add bed floor D-Rings in the position that Ford has put them on them on all other models of Maverick - one each side on bed floor at front of bed...
I've considered buying now/soon because of higher interest rates. I thought that by now the higher rates might strand Ford dealers with unsold Mavericks that had been ordered but not delivered due to higher rates. I don't see that any more vehicles are available; the greater interest expense...
Why do Mavericks made in Mexico need to move from Pittsburgh, PA area to St. Louis, MO area? Is there not a more sensible way from the border to the midwest?
There are also a lot of white XL eco-Mavericks at PHX dealers and have been for awhile. So, once the backlog of fleet orders has been satisfied (those buyers more important than you or me) there will be some more capacity for retail orders. Right?
I am fine with what I have for awhile and in no...
Ford failed to have capacity to handle orders/production of a vehicle they worked hard to make desirable in the market. Once introduced, Ford screwed up. Simple.
Would the company still be around had they done this with the wonderful new Mustang in 1964 or the revolutionary Taurus in 1985 or...
I have given up on Ford - Maverick or anything else. Love looks, size and eco-boost powertrain of Maverick and buying with EAA membership. But, despite a reasonable MSRP if one can be bought, the aggravation is beyond my tolerance.
Solution would be to keep my perfectly fine '15 Ford Transit...
And another niche vehicle whose introduction Ford screwed up was the fabulous retro T-Bird. You couldn't get them (or even sit in one) and then Ford couldn't sell them. They did everything wrong with the selling of that fine car.
This is Ford. This is the way it has been. Ford does care; they want to do it right. They want to earn profits to pay shareholders dividends. They want to please customers. They just can't. They do design and make fine vehicles; they just fail at planning and pleasing buyers.
What is the...
Ford botches the introduction of a new (and very desirable) vehicle?
This is nothing new. Ford has been doing this for decades; they are horrible at new vehicle introduction. How many times has this happened with the terribly important and often updated F-150? I can't count. What about the new...
Yes, I also want to know what changes there will be for MY 23. But no hurry and no foul if Ford doesn't come up with a package I want.
Which is an 2.0T XL with cruise. Don't offer it; I won't get one. I'm happy with my '15 FTC. It is a base vehicle with optional cruise. I'm happy to keep it...
"I wonder if someone can 3D print a pivoting bracket for the Ford logo so it swings down when the tailgate is opened."
Ford can do this. They already did it with the pivoting tail light on the '49-'51 Country Squire wagons.
The tailgate assist is not quite what I want but it is interesting.
Is there a smart way to lock the tailgate down so that it will not bounce? I want to carry one or two bicycles, with front wheel intact on the bike in the front of the bed and rear wheel resting on the tailgate. I will tie down...
Thanks. These are bicycles I am carrying - not motorcycles. They are big - like Dutch city bikes. I prefer not to take off the front wheel but I can. I prefer to load one or two or three assembled bicycles in a vehicle - without removing the front wheel. I want them in fully assembled, if...
I own and ride multiple city bikes. Generally they are larger frames and longer - unlike the little one displayed in the Maverick bed at Oshkosh.
In the past for bikes I have used a Ranchero, an El Camino, an F-150, and now am using a Ford Transit Connect SWB. The FTC is great because the...
