Option regrets?

[Alto Maverick]

There wasn't a way to order it this way, but I really wish I could have gotten the front tow hooks without the fx4. I wasn't willing to give up the sport mode, so I didn't get the fx4 package. But I would have happily paid the full fx4 price just to get tow hooks and nothing else.

Similarly, I liked the xlt interior, wheels, etc. better than the lariat, but really wish I could have gotten it with a power sliding rear window instead of the manual window I was limited to with the xlt.

I wish ford was better about allowing a la carte ordering of most options, even if they charged significantly more than the same items when in packages.

For 2023 the manual window also requires CP360. Not sure if it was the same in 2022.

Maybe it's a Canada thing but I can add the manual rear window without having CP360 to their online build web site. I did have CP360 already added when I added the rear window to my order. I noticed that the manual rear window is included with CP360 for the XL. Don't know why.

The manual window is a standalone item on the XLT (at least it was when I ordered). I originally ordered it, but removed it later.
Maybe you are thinking about the power rear window?

I ordered

I was curious about so I just tried on the Canadian site and it made me add CP360. Someone here said Ford requires CP360 because of lower visibility from the sliding rear window. I'm not sure if I believe that but who knows.

Only on the XL model is CP360 required when adding the rear window. Not sure why but it has been this way since ordering opened in June of '21.

Yes, because the truck I ordered 14 mos ago cannot be built. Now 1\2 of the lux package is not available, and I will pay more.
Been a ford guy my entire life. Not any more.

I have a lariat with AWF, Off road, 4# two pkg, Vo-Pilot 360, lux pkg and I am sure I missed something. I bought this because someone walked away. My opinion is still the beet package is the XLT with the LUX Pkg, Co-pilot 360, spray in bed liner if not OEM get Aftermarket. The Co-Pilot 360 is worth every penny. The sliding rear window is good if you travel with a dog. When you open it i must crack the front window to stop the buffeting sound. If I waited to buy a 2023 this is what I would have ordered. With my configuration I got a oil cooler and a bigger radiator good luck

Maybe the CP360 is what I should have added. Really, that is a safety thing, Ford should have that on every package...should be automatic.

Lastly, if you want to add options that are also available from the parts department I would order them there after your truck arrives and you get your 40k Ford Pass Points you can use to pay for them.

I did exactly that, however, the accessories I ordered are on backorder with no estimated delivery date. I ordered the horizontal bed net (I couldn't find an aftermarket bed net that fit the Maverick's bed and had enough tension), and the bed mat.

I didn't get the keypad to unlock...I don't know why I didn't, but I didn't.

XLT and Lariat have it on the B-pillar on the driver door. If yours doesn't, then the dealer needs to look into a resolution for you.

Interesting, I don't actually have it yet. Breeding shipped. I just remember there being an option to pick it and I didn't. I may have even deselected it. We shall see.

it comes standard with the XLT package iirc

Well, other than looking dumb, I'm glad I posted that, just checked window sticker and there it is.

Sliding rear window. My dealer suggested it, but I didn't think I'd need it. For $150-ish, its a cheap option.

NO brainer ... tossing empties into the bed through the driver-side window at 80mph is harder than it sounds
