  1. Battery Dead! Infotainment screen would not turn off!

    This happens occasionally. If you hold the power button and fast forward for a couple seconds it will reset the screen. It will start functioning as normal after that. This also fixes frozen screens.
  2. Maverick ST prototype (wearing manufacturer plates) spotted at Ford facility?!

    I would throw something if they came out with a manual. I got into the Maverick dead pool because my Fiesta ST was slowly rolled over a wall so my wife could pet a dog. Miss it every day lol
  3. I'm thinking of switching hot pepper red to shadow black.

    Just picked up my Shadow Black Mav. Washed it, shined her up with Maguires liquid ceramic wax and she's sat in the driveway for a week. Truck is COVERED in dust and smudges. Never owned a black vehicle before and never will again.
  4. Elephant in room: Around 80% of orders are Hybrids.

    This actually makes a ton of sense. With the new MPG regulations, companies will need something to serious outliers to drag down their average. A 42 MPG offsets a 18 MPG when they're 1:1. If the regulation was based on total production it would be way more difficult but that would be difficult...
  5. Elephant in room: Around 80% of orders are Hybrids.

    Dealer called me today to confirm that my order went through. Last thing he said was "I just want to be as clear as possible, this truck will likely not be built."
  6. Ford Moving Away from Dealers

    Interesting article from Detroit Free Press. Sadly, this will likely mean the end of under MSRP prices. Shady dealer tactics leads to a win for the corporations. Personally, I feel conflicted. Buying without driving the vehicle I will actually receive is not something I'm excited about...
  7. Open letter to Ford Motor Company: please release MY23 order guide days before order bank opening

    Spray in bedliner for sure goes imo. I wouldn't be surprised if they drop things that need extra chips like heated seats from the XLT.
  8. Open letter to Ford Motor Company: please release MY23 order guide days before order bank opening

    You got a truck yet? Before Ford moved away from the previous distribution model I would have agreed but now that they're prioritizing early orders pending constraints, you're wrong. Unless you want to pay a premium for convenience. I think you're missing a huge issue in all of this. Ford drug...
  9. Is Carvana Broken?!?

    I should have been specific. It's a delivery holding lot from what I can tell. Delivery trucks and a bunch of vehicles on the lot. I've seen 2 or 3 Mav's priced at $40-45k there.
  10. Is Carvana Broken?!?

    So I just drove by my local Carvana and there are no cars on the lot. I'm in DC. I've never seen the lot empty. Could be a bad sign for the flippers.
  11. Is Carvana Broken?!?

    People are paying their bills with buy now pay later and payment plans on $100 items. Prime day just put tens of thousands in debt for the next 2 years.
  12. Paperwork to confront Dealership about ROVP/COVP

    I think this is great stuff but I read a few threads in here that there were dealers trying to throw ADM's on after orders had been placed. It's hard to see what's happening behind the scenes but it seems like Ford isn't really doing anything about the markups.
  13. Paperwork to confront Dealership about ROVP/COVP

    Not exactly an answer to your question. I've been thinking about whether it would be worth it to create some sort of template for folks to bring to the dealer for their 2023 orders for the dealer to sign stating the price is final with no future dealer markups guaranteed. If the dealer won't...
  14. 2023 Maverick website preview link

    Totally agree about CP360. I remember reading somewhere that the EB takes 3 and hybrids take 5. They're of course different specs but something about the hybrid seems to be a very big issue.
  15. No Price Protection!

    I'm not sure why anyone thinks anything will be protected, interest rate or price. Ford has likely been producing the Maverick at close to a loss for the last few months at a minimum. The cost of everything is up 10% and with such a low margin vehicle, there's no way they had room for that...
  16. 2023 Maverick website preview link

    All about the chips. Not happening.
  17. 2023 Maverick website preview link

    Price protection wasn't even really implied in the email that went out. More like, "you're going to pay less than a 23', we promise that." Ford isn't going to sell for a loss (again) so I wouldn't hold my breath at all on price protection. Even Tim Bartz said you can change stuff up on your 23'...
  18. 2023 Maverick website preview link

    I don't see an AWD hybrid being available. I'd be surprised if they didn't do what other brands have done and drop some features that most would consider standard on modern vehicles to save themselves on chips. I think GM did this with heated seats or something like that. If they cut those they...
  19. Potential MSRP Maverick in DMV

    Better yet, if it works out I'll drive out and meet you around Franklin or Union County.
  20. Potential MSRP Maverick in DMV

    XLT, LUX, rear sliding and mats. I'm guessing I'm getting held up with the bed liner. Because of the way the dealership works, they aren't getting more than MSRP no matter what so for them it doesn't really matter. It also eliminates the direct connection to Ford so updates are pretty minimal...
