I'm not a retiree but a disabled vet. But I also live in the dead center of a red state. So, the dealership has its own incentives. But again, the sales floor is a rounding error in their profit margin.
If you work less than ten miles from home, you are effectively getting your travel cost for free. I like the idea of a solar bed cover. It's an extra 8 miles of range in an industry that maximizes range.
No engine bay means you can push the cab up a little and make use of that space. Opens more room in the rear without completely changing the overall footprint of the Maverick.
Ford needs to offer three options: SR, ER, and RE.
SR = Standard battery
ER = Larger battery
RE = Standard battery with a small range-extender generator where the frunk sits.
My dealer of choice also refuses to do markups. In fact, they charge no doc fee. Just taxes and gov't fees.
To be fair, they make way more money in their expansive garage than on their sales lot. I've joked they only sell cars so they can keep the blue oval out front.
I waited until I was in my 40s to finally get the blue truck I've wanted since I was a child. I need a true blue-to-dark-blue option, or I just won't bite.
If the pastels are designed to appeal to women, then that's fine. My wife and daughter love the baby blue option on the Maverick, but my...
Have you walked around Target? Pastel appears to be the "in" thing right now. That's why I'm terrified those are the only options. I need a bold blue, not a pastel one.
Slightly smaller than an Expedition but likely to be priced the same. Given that we get over 500 miles a tank on our Expedition, 300 miles is a bit short.
In any case, not a direct competitor to the Fathom given the size and likely price difference.
A few more:
Power tailgate that can be activated from the cab, fob, and app.
Spare tire option. A can of sealant doesn't work if the tire has too much damage, and I've saved more weight by losing weight than a spare tire would take up.
In-bed storage locker, similar to the Ridgeline. Could be...
There's a balance between endless options and trim packages. From a manufacturing perspective, it's much cheaper for Ford to offer one package with everything and use dealer-installed options. Buying 150,000 sunroofs is cheaper than buying 75,000 and needing two different frames that could be...
