I pulled the trigger...

[TRK65]

Just reserved a new 2026 XLT Hybrid.
FWD, light blue, lux/360/sunroof/spare tire.
Due to arrive 10/16-10/22.
I was in no hurry, but after seeing the changes for 2027 I started searching on Ford.com. I kept expanding the search and found exactly what I wanted one state away, and the pricing was too good to pass up.
I've had a company vehicle since 2000. I still have one but that may not be the case forever. I'm not ready to retire yet but I want to go into retirement without any debt so I need to get everything paid off by then.
Let's see how many accessories I can have waiting for it in the garage!

So, wait. Are all of us a bunch of Old Guys here?

Somewhere in MTC there is a survey. Low entry height, no “heavy” building projects, smaller dent into retirement saving for Maverick and gas. Yes, lots of older folks here.

I had a similar situation, company car since '89, planned to retire at the end of '22, so I ordered a new '23 to have as my first personal vehicle in 33 years. In Nov 22 they offered me a sizable bonus to stay 6 more months, so I took delivery of my '23, and promptly stashed it away until I needed it.

Nothing like a well orchestrated plan!!!!

That's awesome what's changing for 2027 i can't decide what to get f150 with the big discount a ranger that can pull a real trailer load or a maverick for driving around cheap or a hybrid maverick I'm all screwed up

If you are pulling a big trailer regularly and don't care about cost of gas, F-150, if you tow occasionally and want to save some gas, Ranger, if you just want to have fun and tow a light trailer and have decent gas mileage get the EB and if you want to have a fuel efficient vehicle that still capable of towing a light trailer get the hybrid does that help?

I had an opposite situation. I needed a replacement vehicle when the 2010 Toyota minivan i was driving for work finally wouldn't drive anymore after 465k miles. It was August of 2021. I put an order in for a XLT Hybrid.
Because of the mileage reimbursement, I was able to pay it off in a couple of years.
2024, the company decided we get company cars so my wife has been driving the Mav. There's talk that we're going back to driving our own personal vehicles again which means I'm taking back the Mav. My wife said she'll buy her own. She loves driving it.
