Lowered Performance Maverick by Long McArthur

[Joe Mac]

I wonder who's truck that is since L M hasn't gotten any stock orders.
But I'm sure it rips if it's been tuned

I was trying to wait for the video but this does have a Cobb Tuning Kit on it as a performance upgrade. (Spoiler Alert)

Tim, what about a twister edition Like this?

This is a stupid argument. Do you work for Long McArthur? I understand how they got where they got. I am simply making an easy argument for selling MORE vehicles like that. I assure you that they are meeting profit margins, even if they lowered the price on this. Also, this kind of work does not come across my desk. Most dealers have internal advisors that make less than I do to handle this stuff that is low or no margin work. If you could do all the work on that truck yourself through vendors at a cost thousands less, what route are you taking? I KNOW someone will buy that truck. But it is a better proposition if it is more appealing to more buyers. I can raise my prices in service daily, and some people will keep paying it. But if I want to retain as many clients as possible I can't simply make the prices whatever I want. The consumer will vote with their dollar and the business will lose

No, I do not work for any car dealer, I am not sure that it is 'more appealing to more buyers' is the goal of any business, though a noble idea.

Does part of the profit from the parts and labor pay your salary?

Dealerships pay for retirement, medical, etc. A lot of mechanics in independent shops don't have those perks. That being said, for that price I would expect the dealer techs to be 100% competent to fix what is wrong.

You don't think that businesses want their products and services to be appealing to the broadest possible base? Umm, ok

The customer turned down the Maverick so it became available as stock.

No, this is a targeted base.

I would really like to work with your dealership on a real performance package you could offer your customers. Intake, Intercooler upgrade, 3 inch catted downpipe and 3 inch exhaust, turbo upgrade, and tune. Add some lowering springs and lightweight 18 inch wheels and they would fly off your lot.

Finally, a voice of reason. Then maybe they could justify the $10k.

Long McArthur said in one of their videos they charge a dealer doc fee?

I've never once been charged a dealer doc fee. In one of their Escape videos they said it's $500! A $500 "document prep" fee. C'mon man... get real. That sounds like a dealer markup with a disguised name for the fools willing to pay it.

Sounds about right from a dealership charging $10k for maybe $4k max of upgrades. Shady dealer tactics disguised are even worse than outright blatant markups. I'd love to see the invoice and prices of these add-on's and the cost of labor for them.

Most dealers charge a dealer fee.

All the things we added can be found online and you are welcome to buy them and install them yourself and save some money. I've done that with my Bronco build. There is a cost to have a technician install it and have the dealership back it with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. We are not added the $10k to an already marked up Maverick as some dealers would do. It is added to the MSRP price. Thanks for you input, we value information coming back to us.

I forwarded your information to our Aftermarket Manager, Blake Cormack. Hopefully, we can work together for the 2024 model year. At this point, all of our 400 allocations are for customer orders and we would love to offer an option for some performance upgrades for their Mavericks.

An XL AWD with 4k tow would be ideal. I can already see it

Eibach Springs with 18 inch Konigs
Rear sway bar and front strut brace
Tinted windows, shorty antenna and full LED kit
Ford rear tailgate spoiler
Fiesta ST steering wheel
Gentex mirror with Homelink
Hood Struts and rear tailgate assist

S&B intake with Velossa Tech dual inlets
Dual Catch Can Kit
CTR50 turbo
3 inch EPA GESI catted downpipe with 3 inch catback
Intercooler upgrade and Turbosmart BOV
Tune
Fast Mavericks plaque

That’s a 12 second truck that people would pay for.
