That is interesting. The Hybrid can do 1566 lbs.Here you go!
What the heck is non tax fee????
1378Lbs.. What the....Here you go!
It is the registration at the DMV in Connecticut....
Thanks. When you have something that works I will appreciate if you could post what worked.
The waiting game they play really really sucks as they try to wear you down and just give in. Congratulations in staying strong.
Weird. I've seen some reviewers show the sticker and it's a little over 1600 lbs. Maybe because they were showing the hybrid. I guess it's different than the EB?
Thanks for the feed back on the color as that is what I have on order.After an arduous day of battle at the dealership, I emerged victorious and rode off the battlefield after 9pm last night in my new Mav! For reference: Ordered 7/9, Built 9/14, Delivered 9/30 (almost 3 weeks ahead of schedule).
Early Impressions:
Exterior: CG is just a sexy color in person. It isn't even well detailed yet but looks amazing and goes well with the FX4 wheels. I like the contrast of the black door handles on the XLT. Car is well proportioned and I don't think it looks or feels small in person. Fit & finish is impressive so far given the price point. I caught them before they drilled the front bumper for plates so it still looks clean up front. Will put in the black tailgate letters this weekend and probably take off the AWD badge and FX4 decals (don't like the random red, plan to replace with full black).
Interior: Impressed as well. Is it a luxury car inside? No. Is it nice and cleanly built inside? Yes. I think the blue/grey and orange go well together and work well with the CG exterior. Definitely roomy feeling and feels bigger than Ranger inside. I am 5' 11" and had plenty of room in both front and back seats. I'll be curious to see how all the hard plastics hold up over time but I really like the setup so far. My wife loves the stone colored dash & door inserts. Cool to see the off road screen for the FX4. Confirmed drive modes: Normal, Slippery, Tow/Haul, Sand, Mud/Rut.
Driving: Only 36 miles of mostly stop and go so far, so somewhat limited. Pickup is smooth from a stop and you can feel that the EB has some zip. It is a little bit noisy here and there (on some deceleration and cold temp start this morning). Does it bother me coming from a 2010 car with 100k on it, nope! Handling is tight and car like as expected. Got on the freeway for a brief bit last night and it got to speed plenty quick and will have no problem passing. Roads in my area are not super well maintained and while the Mav doesn't necessarily go over them like butter, it is absolutely better than a typical truck. Auto start stop is of course annoying but I did enjoy auto hold (even though my wife says it's weird). Overall, steering feel and throttle response are solid and the car feels nimble and easy to maneuver.
Overall: I am in love. Ford has a winner and will sell as many of these as they can get made. I won the lottery getting a build so early and it is going to do everything I need it to. Hope all the other early deliveries are loving theirs. Everyone waiting, hang in there bc they will be worth it!!
Connecticut the registration "Non Tax Fee" is good for three (3) years. In my case $510 Registration "Non Tax Fee" equals $170 per year.
That Doc fee is CRAZY! It's filing out paper work - seriously. I wouldn't pay more than $100 tops. If they feed you some line that is mandated by state law, they're partially right, it's the MAXIMUM they can charge under state law. That stuff is negotiable, and if you have X-Plan and they honor it, then I think the most Doc fee you will see is $100.My Hybrid XLT, LUX, CoPilot360 in Connecticut breakdown does not seem as bad as I inferred.
