I got scheduling notice today including the VIN to be started the week of June 10. Ordered it 11 months ago, but i knew it was expecting it to take about this long since ordered a base model XL with 360 as the only add on.

That is good, or at least that's what people that actually complete polls believe :ROFLMAO: . It points to a larger issue with the media landscape generally where the headline will be "UAW Demands 36% Wage Increase in Strike" implying an immediate raise, which sounds a lot different than "UAW...

The problem with Unions is their PR is terrible and their negotiations public. The demands aren't crazy, especially the wage increases, if you take the fact that they agreed to a 4 year wage freeze that still hasn't been accounted for and that inflation is looking to be around 4% for the...

Not as many new hybrids because it's a $1500 add on now. I don't think the issues with the hybrid have scared people off so much. Many new orders, like me, were likely people waiting a couple years for the kinks to get ironed out. I'm not so worried about the hybrids past issues at this...

Sounds like you need an exorcist, not a mechanic

Totally, when you pay yourself first and set limits based on take home income % rather than amounts or gross income, it makes knowing what you can afford a lot easier. Ppl here probably knew that already but I didn't learn this stuff until I educated myself at like 30 !!!

Likewise, my maverick will be replacing a 2009 Hyundai Accent base model with manual-crank windows, so it will be a hell of an upgrade haha. Then I plan to drive the mav for at least 10 years, likely much longer. The rule in our house is only 1 car payment at a time costing no more than 5% of...

Compared to the first 2 model years and your '22 sure it's not a total steal. But compared to the rest of the new vehicle market for those of us that don't already have one it's still a solid deal. Even with the hybrid price bump it's still one of the cheapest hybrids on the market, seats 5...

Just the outer tread of those semi tires can be pretty serious if the peel off. The damage probably has more to do with the fact it's closer to the ground than most pickups, not that it's cheaply made.

I'm curious to see how much this changes when they switch to MY24.

Man, Nitro fill is so dumb. normal everyday air is 78% nitrogen already https://www.noaa.gov/jetstream/atmosphere. I have emails from my dealer saying no markup over MSRP. My dealers doc fees are like $20 over the state average, which is whatever. The one thing that was on there that I don't...

Finally got the email confirmation from ford last night after placing an order on Monday. Now whether my base XL with CP360 will actually get built before the 25MY production starts... who knows?

Uhh ok i'm getting worried. Midnight over here and I still haven't gotten the confirmation email....

I'll be sticking to full synthetic every 5000 miles or annually, whichever is first thank you. It's just cheap insurance especially if you do it yourself. 5 quarts of Castrol full synthetic and a filter will run you about $40. I will probably change it after the first 2-3k miles to get all the...

Gotta say I kind of lucked out considering all the colors they removed from the XL trim. I actually like the Cactus Grey color better than the premium ones. Checked it out on a couple bronco's they had on the lot and the wife likes it too.

There is still value to be had with this by default just given its "enough truck" for most people that starts at a price in line with how much "Less of a truck" it is compared to something like the Ranger even with the added cost of the hybrid. It's certainly no longer the bargain it was in the...

Got my order in this morning. Apparently I was the first one in, not that that matters when it comes to actually getting the truck. They said they will email me later when the order banks open and they get it officially entered. Ordered an XL Hybrid in Cactus Grey with CP360 and nothing else...

The plan right now is to be about 50/50 cash to financing. I have about 10k. should have close to 15k by they time they even start building the '24s in October. Considering i'll be ordering a base XL Hybrid maybe, i'll be able to just pay cash by the time it actually comes in. :ROFLMAO:

Does that also include the trailer hitch with its increased expected availability? I honestly don't think i'll need one, but for $100 I might as well add it as it will be much more expensive to do it after the fact. They said they expect availability not to be an issue this time around but i'll...

Yeah i did the math and assuming the 37 combined MPG is accurate, with the commute being about 50/50 city/highway, it would take 7 years to payoff the difference between the engines. its only like a 15 minute commute, so we're not talking a ton of driving. But of course, if I were to choose...
