30 days. That is Ford's official policy on completing a sale of a customer-ordered vehicle. If the dealership is trying to force a customer to agree to buy it within 48 hours, they're slimeballs.
Then again, they may just be looking for a commitment. As in, does he intend to buy it? Or if...
Still $200 off. I think I'm going for the Limited HDx whatever version. Price has gone up, but so has pricing on all the other good covers out there. Inflation... So far the only consistent negative comment I can find anywhere is already covered in this thread -- the accordion fold system is...
They all come with TWO KEYS! Every model of Lighting comes with TWO. The Ford MyKey system, that is in most all of their current vehicles, is always TWO. If they misplaced a key, it's on them, they need to replace it. They know this and are trying to weasel out of it.
Or they're trying to...
I encourage everyone encountering the missing/ misrepresented partitioned lockable storage to file a formal complaint with their dealership and it may be helpful to maintain a list here. Ford will ultimately have to answer to this if enough of us complain. I've already posted on this in...
They are sure estimating the cold range of the e-tron rather high. Someone in our family owns one and I can say that it loses just as much range in the cold as our Model Y. Same with the Jaguar rating... WTF? Not that I know anyone who's bought one and I've never driving one, but that's a...
Just walk away from the 2023 and enjoy the truck you have. The '23s are coming with missing features and no one is paying premiums for these trucks on the used market now.
I attempted to do the same as you. My 2023 order was on chip hold and then I was told the hold was indefinite and would...
The Lightning has these "manufacturer" warranties included from Ford:
3 years/ 36,000 miles "bumper to bumper" -- this covers EVERYTHING
5 years/ 50,000 miles "Drivetrain" -- this covers your motors, axles, cv joints, linkage and steering.
8 years/ 100,000 miles "Battery" -- if your EV battery...
Just a general comment here regarding a lot of problems I see mentioned for the 2022 Lightnings. Several reports here and elsewhere about heated steering wheel issues, PAAK issues, security functions - especially sensors. These are all features that are now deleted, disabled or compromised on...
Definitely bring up the lemon issue with the dealership. Of course those laws vary from state to state. Dealerships are rewarded if they can stave off a lemon claim and fix the vehicle. But in the end, it's Ford that buys back the vehicle, not the specific dealership. They can usually buy...
Yep, just walk away. You'll never recover your investment by flipping it. Enjoy your Ranger and its lower payment. You'll be able to pick up a Pro or XLT on the used market in a year or so for a lot less than you'll pay now. Inflation and new truck, especially electric truck, prices will...
I'm still not convinced they send out exact pictures of individual trucks to everyone. Sure, the tech is there and all. But something about it always seems a bit off.
How long after built are you guys seeing your pictures? I'm now shipped, my truck was marked built a week ago. No picture...
Sadly, I think the under seat storage is heading into class-action and/or recall territory for Ford. I'm starting to see reports of people not getting it even when they had it selected as a separate option and it is listed on their web order and/or window sticker. Online configurator as well...
Yeah, but with those wheels it will look like it can do "truck things". :) I'm interested to see what the range impact is. I need my range too much, especially this time of year, so I'll have to run stock wheels and tires for a while and see how it goes.
I would like these, but definitely were not an option when I ordered. They probably did pop up in the dealer system between my order date and when I got scheduled, but I never knew or thought to check. Oh well. The lighted running boards are actually not bad at all. Not as slick as the power...
You don't need to include dealer docs with your return. I've had the IRS come back and ask for stuff, but most people do not have that. TurboTax will walk you through what is needed. States often request different things, depending on their incentive programs. Your profile says you're in...
"They" is the IRS. After filing my return, they wanted the supporting documentation -- purchase agreement, state registration info, for my 2016 Model X. And did the same to us a couple years prior on a hybrid. They (IRS) did not request any additional info for our Model Y purchased in 2020...
Great video!
I got to see the Azure Gray Metallic the other day with my own eyes. This is the first video I've seen of it that shows a small bit of the depth and pearly shine to that color. Just on a small spot of the truck about when they're pulling into the section with all the lights for...
Colorado residents are also impacted on tax credit for this change. State credit for light duty EV trucks with GVWR 8500# and up is $3500 for 2022 and $2800 in 2023.
For GVWR below 8500#, it only counts as a passenger vehicle and the state credit is $2500 for 2022 and $2000 for 2023.
