Got the Truck I Wanted

[Micheal]

I’ve been on MTC for about a year now. At the time I became aware of MTC there were members on for 6+ months. Most hadn’t gotten a truck yet, a few lucky ones had. I’m sure that I asked some naive questions as I see the 23 crowd doing now. There were a few “have you searched MTC?” and “Read the Manual” responses, but also a wealth of good info. Now that I’m an “experienced user” I’d like to offer a few of my thoughts and observations.

I have a A51 Lariat EB with a lot of add-ons. Cost? Yes! But I wasn’t shopping for a “cheap” vehicle, but a one vehicle replacement for my 2012 Escape Hybrid and my 99 Ranger. I had the Ranger for 20+ years and the Escape for 10+ years. So I’ll have the Maverick for at least 10 most likely.

So another way to look at the math, if you keep a vehicle for 10 years, the cost per week:

FX off road = $1.53

Power Moon Roof = 1.91

4K Tow = $1.43

Lariat Lux = $7.21

Co-Pilot 360 = $1.25

Total of package add-ons for 22 Lariat = $13.33 per week approx. or two drinks at Starbucks.

So what’s the point? If you are waiting or considering an order, I recommend getting the lux, towing, or whatever. It’s worth it in the long run. I’m really glad I waited it out, didn’t drop anything from my original order, and got the ruck I wanted.

But even with getting a loaded Lariat from Ford, there were still plenty of “mods” that I got.
Still working on "mods", but to date I have:

Ford Hard Roll-up tonneau
CPLAY2air bluetooth adapter - works great with iPhone
Tailgate lettering
Tuxmats - best IMHO
Rexing dash cam
Ceramic coating lite - (from dealer)
Lund Aeroskin Smoke Hood Protector - used FORD Points
Lund Smoke Low Profile Side Window Deflectors - used FORD Points
Bumper Cap (small piece to fill in around hitch)
Seahawk license plate to balance rear end (I'm doing a hinge on plate so it lifts when trailer plug in is needed.)
FITS Kit
Fits dog water dish
Thisworx 12v car vacuum
Ommo cooler/refrigerator, holds a 6-pack and fits under back seat
Haley Craft leather key fob cover - very nice, good quality

Bottom line, have patience, consider upgrading your order if possible and you can afford it. You won’t be disappointed, its a great little truck!

You've inspired me to add the CP360 package. However, I'll also blame you if I don't get my truck .

Love the furry baby photos. My wife and I have been married for 46 years and have never been with at least one dog. Three currently.

Yes we had two boys also. Now grown and married.

Lariet EB? Didn't realize EB was an option?

After re-reading for several times, lol, I realized that's Ecoboost and not Eddie Bauer which now shows my age.

When you put it that way, even a $10K ADM would only come to $19.23 per week... How much is your sanity worth? LOL
