The skinny on diet chip Fords

[WannaMav]

First, NOT Mavericks. Quoted article link here.

"Ford will soon start selling and shipping some Ford Explorers without the chips that power rear air conditioning and heating controls, according to a report from Automotive News..The automaker will instead ship the missing semiconductors to dealers within one year, which they will then install in customers’ vehicles after purchase.

Ford spokesperson Said Deep told The Verge that heating and air condition will still be controllable from the front seats, and that customers who choose to purchase a vehicle without the rear controls will receive a price reduction. According to Deep, Ford is doing this as a way to bring new Explorers to customers faster, and that the change is only temporary."

Timmy's Story Hour tomorrow should be ... interesting.

Plan on tuning in accompanied by a big bowl of chips and beverage of choice.

No rear seat or bed AC control. Cancelling my order.

I would actually prefer getting mine sooner w/o chips than waiting for next year. Hopefully they extend this to the MAVs. My vehicle is on last leg and needs to put in shop but can't without a replacement or $$rental. I've looked for other vehicles but I need a truck for work and put about 3k miles a month. The MPG on hybrid is what sold me. Nothing comes close to the Mav.
