I got a family of 4 so I need the cab and I am not too worried about the bed, I think its 6 feet with the tailgate down

Only four?

that's a nice truck.  inexpensive too.  i nice smaller truck for easier parking and other stuff you would prefer a smaller truck.  i like it.
the 2.0 ecoboost is a popular ford engine.  same one in my Escape.  tq is 275
I changed the intake to a K&N CAI, and makes about 22 more hp and tq according to their dyno results.  comes with their dyno graph, and feels pretty legit by my butt dyno
and with the K&N CAI, now can hear the blow off valve.  cool if you like that sound.   :thumbsup:  its not really loud like an aftermarket BOV, but its notably louder than stock

I was tempted to get the tow package but I really don't tow anything. Without the package you can still tow 2000 pounds which is probably enough for anything I would end up towing

Drilling holes in tanks. If replacing your cat was not a pain in the okole enough...

So what we learn is fill up in the  morning before the price increase later that day.

The hybrid option is currently not available. It was however a bit more expensive and less capable.

I think it will actually be an improvement over my 2.4 liter 4 cylinder Scion mileage wise.

The hybrid is the cheaper model, the turbo 2.0 is the more expensive upgrade. With the chip shortage, none are going to be coming anytime soon.  Read they’ll be sending out incomplete trucks to fill current orders with plans to install chips later when available.

Weird, maybe they changed it? When we were ordering one I am pretty sure the hybrid was the more expensive option.

Did a lot of research on the Maverick and was fully prepared to purchase. Come to find out can’t now and probably not till later this year. If they can get the micro chip issues sorted. (Which doesn’t look very promising, due to all the BS going on in the world right now)

Oh, guess I didn't get the "base model" then.

Still looking forward to getting it next month or May, whenever they deliver it. I haven't gotten any notification that mine would be one of those ones where they will delivery the chips later.

I remember hearing somewhere that the price is set by the price when the station purchased the fuel so if they bought gas cheaper then they will have a cheaper price until they sell all the gas they got for the cheaper cost then increase the price. As opposed to raising and lowing the cost based on the current market price. I don't know if this is the case or not but if true that may explain why you saw a price change 3 times in one day.

He's using the colloquial definition of "3", not the mathematical one.
