  1. Using wireless Android Auto with BT earbuds... Possible?

    Maybe a ticket for not getting out of the way. But probably not a ticket for wearing EarPods -- depending on your state. (What state is that, by the way?). A little farther down the thread there is a link to an article on state laws, showing that it is not illegal in most states. (It is not...
  2. Turn signal recall - truck is still on the train.

    Like I said... it's a complicated, multistep procedure. But you don't need a YouTube video. Just remember the acronym "G.O.A.L." Which stands for --> Get... Out... And... Look. :sneaky:
  3. Turn signal recall - truck is still on the train.

    I don't know if you are still concerned about this, but... If the turn signal indicator on your dash flashes very fast when you put on your turn signal -- indicating a bulb out -- there's a special procedure for figuring out which bulb is the problem. But it's way too complicated to explain...
  4. Sitting at dealer wondering what to do…

    Are you talking about the reprogram for "grabby brakes"? (TSB 22-2493 came out on that last December and the solution has been available at least since March of 2023, when I had it done.) Or are you talking about the "reprogram powertrain control module" issue that Ford references as "Campaign...
  5. Maverick Hybrid brake system grabbing and/or rough engagement at low speeds

    Thanks, that makes sense. Assuming you mean it's "not unusual for hybrids to wear out the REAR brake pads faster." Here's an article that gives a more detailed explanation of why that is. Basically the same as what you said. And, on the good side, it also says that in hybrids generally wear...
  6. Maverick Hybrid brake system grabbing and/or rough engagement at low speeds

    I just had the grabby brake fix (TSB 23-2060) done last week. So far, no more brake grabs... BUT... The status report says my rear brake pads were down to 5 (mm, I think, doesn't say), while the front pads are only down to 8. They said I will need to replace the rear ones later this year...
  7. Smartphone holder suction mount transforms Maverick dash cubby into functional space

    When I was making several quick stops, it saved me having to plug and unplug the cable every time I got in or out of the truck. I plugged it in for longer trips. But the message you responded to is a year old. Since then, I got a wireless Android Auto adapter. and a wireless charging pad. That...
  8. Need advise. Keep it or risk a ‘23?

    Okay, I get it now. What @HTX really meant to say was: "the XLs actually made a better profit than the lower trims higher trims."
  9. Need advise. Keep it or risk a ‘23?

    I'm not sure what you are saying here. (The XL is the lowest trim.)
  10. Am I The Only One Who Hates Cruise Control?

    A lot depends on where you drive. I live in the southwest and often take long trips on roads with traffic sparse, towns widely spaced, and Highway Patrol cleverly hidden. One day last month, for example, I spent about 8 hours on the road between Twin Falls, ID and Las Vegas, NV (as part of a...
  11. 💵 2023 Maverick Pricing (MSRP / Invoice) & Options Released -- Including New Black Appearance Package

    Sorry, I guess my point wasn't very clear. I wasn't talking about the price increase compared to the private offer. (I got my truck months ago so I'm not in that private offer group.) I was just talking about the price increase in general. Ten percent is quite a bit, but when you compare it...
  12. 💵 2023 Maverick Pricing (MSRP / Invoice) & Options Released -- Including New Black Appearance Package

    It looks like my fairly lightly equipped XLT hybrid would be about $2500 more this year. That's about a 10% increase in price.
  13. Dealer sold my custom ordered Maverick to someone else, they never called me when it arrived.

    Actually, @YazYaz, not a single word of that was addressed to you. You are quoting my response to @Dudley's comments about Buyer's Orders and DORAs (which are right above my response in my post -- quoted, bolded, and linked -- so I'm not sure how you missed them). No, I didn't use the phrase...
  14. Dealer sold my custom ordered Maverick to someone else, they never called me when it arrived.

    That's my intention as well -- and I think it's a good thing to do -- but I'm giving up on it now. I think I've reached the point of diminishing returns.
  15. Dealer sold my custom ordered Maverick to someone else, they never called me when it arrived.

    That's a straw man. My statement was about your belief that a VIN is required for a contract, not about your beliefs about Buyer's Orders. Here's my statement: "If you believe a VIN is required for a contract, then you must believe it is impossible to make an enforceable contract for the...
  16. Dealer sold my custom ordered Maverick to someone else, they never called me when it arrived.

    I don't think they mean it makes the contract unenforceable. Enforceability is one requirement, skin in the game is another. They don't want to give the EV benefit to people who, under the terms of the contract, weren't really at risk of losing anything (or very much). For example, I had a...
  17. Dealer sold my custom ordered Maverick to someone else, they never called me when it arrived.

    I agree with you on all of that. I was just pointing out -- in a joking/not joking way -- that people believe different things. @YazYaz apparently doesn't think anything can be a contract for a no-VIN-yet vehicle, @Dudley apparently thinks a build sheet is a contract. They may or may not end up...
  18. Dealer sold my custom ordered Maverick to someone else, they never called me when it arrived.

    If you read the IRA guidance text carefully, you'll see that it does not say that "A deposit without signed documents would also be a valid contract," as you wrote in your previous post. The guidance determines who benefits from pre-August 16 rules for EV credit. You qualify if you take...
  19. Dealer sold my custom ordered Maverick to someone else, they never called me when it arrived.

    If you believe a VIN is required for a contract, then you must believe it is impossible to make an enforceable contract for the purchase of a vehicle not yet produced. But, as explained here, we make contracts all the time for goods that are sufficiently described but, at the time, are not...
