I waited from March 2022 to January 2024 because I refused to pay the penalty.
I love the truck.
It's a shame the demand is making money for the dealers at the expense of those who may need a vehicle and can't wait.
Maybe they need to get a beater and go back when the demand slumps.
The law of supply and demand is around the corner.
The initial builds of Mavericks included thousands of XL fleet vehicles.
Combine the fleet returns to the market after two to three years, the buildup of production capacity in Hermosillo including the extra shift, and the return to market of...
First, I truly don't care who buys what, we are free to do what we want.
I do disagree with tax rebates to encourage market decisions, which favor certain types of products.
That said:
" People have reported hybrid batteries lasting 250,000 miles or more. "
The issue of battery life is...
Like Dusty, I was on alert and ready for information.
HA! Well done.
But I also am ready to see exactly how high I can get the EB FWD to go.
No long trips yet, but when we do it'll be fun to squeeze the hydrocarbons as much as we can.
At the risk of offending those who think they have posted dumb questions, I submit:
"My XLT doesn't have a green tab. Is there something I need to say to Ford?"
Two questions, thanks.
Snowbird has a new Mav XLT EB.
Will be leaving to go to the cold late April early May.
Plan is to come back maybe in November or maybe January.
Do people use tenders or trickle chargers to maintain battery for such a period of time?
If yes, anyone got a recommendation for...
I understand your point as far as it goes.
However, a brand is only as good as its reputation.
And if Ford can't control what their dealerships are doing to the Ford reputation, why would anyone buy a Ford?
In this case, Ford gave the authority to the dealerships to give (or not give) the...
The dealership sales manager is telling me that the XLT that was originally ordered in March 22, rolled into 23, and then rolled into 24, and received in January of this year is not eligible for any price adjustment or rebate.
Ford marketing is going to send me an email detailing the negative...
Remember when we could buy a washing machine, dryer or refrigerator and expect it to last a long time?
So long that the garage refrigerator (consigned there because of its ugliness, not utility) has outlasted three or more "new" units?
Same thing will happen with EV's.
The EV is a battery...
There is hope, or at least there was for me.
Started in March 22, then rolled into 23 and 24. Started build on 12/4/23.
Arrived in Florida first week of January.
Hang in there.
As far as I'm concerned, the tracking function hasn't worked in about two weeks.
Yeah, yeah, clear cookies, yeah, yeah, did that too many times.
Called Ford cucumber (sic, by accident) service finally.
Hope the truck, (which I ordered in March '22 arrives on January 6th), works better than the...
One of the regional utility marking companies was in the neighborhood in a Maverick.
I asked the guy how long he's had the Mav and if liked it.
He said he'd had the Maverick for about six months and loved it.
Eco with steelies.
He also positively mentioned the storage underneath the rear seat.
