Nice! Sounds similar to my new hybrid XLT! Keeping speed under 60 seems to get mpg in the mid 40s for me. Getting on an Interstate and doing 65+ brings it down several points; doing our local Interstate traffic speed of more than 70 brings it down below 40. I'm thinking the EPA must assume...

Probably true. My dad had a diesel VW Rabbit a long time ago, it could get 45mpg back when nothing else did that. However VW was kinda caught cheating about its more recent diesels, as I understand it. The emissions are definitely bad news incl. for people who live near routes with lots of...

Sounds like the local state patrol might want to know that this dealer is doing this

Mine has a couple of locations. I haven't been watching this carefully, just saying my general impressions from this winter when I was stalking them for Mavericks. The rows of Rangers and F-150s and 250s and whatnot seemed endless... no little Mavericks to be found... :)

Mavericks might not be the issue; they still have a shortage! My dealer has zillions of 150s and Rangers sitting on the lot though.

It seems like the Mavericks are put on trains from Mexico and switched to various other rail lines to get to us. Up here in New England, there might be more transfers, and I think NH has less rail service than us NE corridor areas. Mine took about 3 weeks to get here, RI. It's at the Dealer...

I am in a similar situation; my XLT order was scheduled for 4/10. I looked at the Ford "https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking" site again this week an it's "In Production". (yay!!!) Mine also has a Window Sticker. Does yours? Reading the various posts in this thread, I'm not sure if the...

I noticed that some vehicles have much higher tow ratings in Europe than in the U.S.; I think the speed limit in some countries, while towing, is some reasonable number like 55-ish, whatever that is in km/hr. I bet in the U.S. the car companies have to account for those maniacs I see in pickups...

The prime rate is now about 8% so I bet a lot of financers are wanting to pass that hurt on to customers.

I saw two on Saturday, driving up from RI to Boston. A record for me!

I was one of the scheduling lottery winners this week too! Hybrid XLT 360 XLT Luxury package (whatever that means now!) Originally 11/02/2021 Rolled over 2023 Dropped hitch Flood Ford, Rhode Island April 10th Build Date. All fingers still crossed.

What is the most helpful beverage for this?

I wonder if part of the murkiness is due to Ford not really wanting customers to know its internal process. It seems clear that dealership factors like size/allocation are valued far over fairness to customers, in terms of Ford's prioritization systems. Ford's profit is also valued over...

I strongly feel a Lariat is needed by the lady. ;-)

Ford doing programming work on parts of their system??? Oh please let that be true... please oh please... ok I'll stop being snarky. But seriously.

I did the same. Lots of places install hitches. I think I read that there might be software that helps towing, or some electrical differences vs. the factory installed version? Hoping someone will comment. Hybrids only tow 2k. Maybe the 4k package is different...

Hmmm, I first read this as, "10 years shy of ..."

Is there a version of the spreadsheet with order dates that's sorted by order date? I would love to try to look for a pattern that might provide an inkling of production for my area and model, but the unsorted data is almost impossible to read. Lots of people don't have any updates on their...

You can have one installed after delivery. Not sure if it's exactly the same... comments? My dealer called me about this and I decided to get one aftermarket, I will use the bed more than the hitch.

If this happened in my state, everyone's first guess would be that the dealer sold it to: a.) a relative; b.) someone who they owed a "favor" to; c.) a local politician; d.) someone who is all of the previous categories. I used to think jokes about that stuff were funny until I had personal...
