I joined the Mustang Club of America which offers the X plan after 90 days. But I'll have to reserve that for my wife's next vehicle as I ended up buying a 2024 Lightning Lariat on 9/30 through the Costco Auto Purchase Program. The Maverick was going to be just too small and utilitarian for my...

Well, I'm off the Lightning option for now. How in the world the OP got almost $30K off of a Lightning Flash was a 1 off deal obviously. Even getting on the X-Plan pricing with a couple rebates and the $7500 federal tax credit, $15K off an $80K Lariat is the best I can do.

Right you are. I just checked the Ford Partners list and the company that my wife retired from earlier this year is on the list!

$14.5k on the hood right now?

Never mind. Apparently the only really great deals on the Lightning is if you are a Ford employee.

This thread got me thinking about a Lightening instead of the Maverick Lariat I have ordered. I'm coming from a Chevy Silverado, so this much of a downsize to the Maverick was giving me concern. Probably won't be within my budget, but I'm checking with my dealer to find out what the bottom line...

I had a 1970 Torino GT with a 351 Cleveland.

Looks like a Santa Cruzvrolet

How many of you haters were really serious about replacing your 22-24 with a 25? Be honest now! I'll bet close to none of you if you could get yourself to answer honestly.

20% accepting? Come on. 🙃

Design changes are not ever going to be a 100% hit. 3 choices. You like it fine like me. You don't care for it but it will grow on you with time. Or you hate it at the top of your lungs. A survey will be interesting after they are in the wild.

The only thing constant is change. Sometimes the changes work for you, other times they don't.

I'm pretty sure the design team had to run this past quite a few people and maybe even got some public opinions before it was set in stone. They sure as heck didn't ask any of the haters here, that's for sure.:ROFLMAO:

Yep. Factory lifted specialized vehicles have been engineered and are nothing like aftermarket lifts. Lots of parts are spec'd and different on factory lifts to ensure proper geometry that ensures reliable operation.

My original comments are valid. Modifying suspensions does have an adverse effect on the operation and reliability of drivetrain and suspension components. My original comment was over a week ago however, and I didn't realize at that time that there were totally stock Mavericks having this failure.

I'm going to guess it's a Vendor that maybe didn't follow Ford's specs exactly unless Ford's engineers just screwed the pooch. But I still would like to hear the percentage of totally stock Mavericks VS modified Mavericks that have failed.

It's not so much the wiring harness and connectors I'm questioning, it the different electrical loads and operating parameters between 2 different light technologies that can throw a BCM into an error situation.

What about the lighting differences and associated electronic controls? Different design headlights will present different loads and requirements I would suspect. But hey, I'm no engineer.

If that's even possible, I'll bet it would cost a lot. Maybe just buy a 2024 if you don't think you can live with the 2025 front end.

I get that. But why trash something so harshly when you have no interest in it.
