  1. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    Looks like i won't be driving a Maverick. Ford emailed me today to tell me that my Maverick had been delivered. I called the dealer today and they sold it out from under me to someone else. Then the General Manager, whom I've spoken with half a dozen times since January, and had placed the...
  2. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    You haven't seen pot holes until you've driven through Michigan. Ontario is a modern paved paradise in comparison
  3. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    2" and up one tire size is rather minor mod on a vehicle like this. I just don't like the shoes that come with it. That's all. I have done mods like this on nearly every vehicle I've owned, and all to suite what I am using them for, not what Ford is specking them to do. I'll agree with all...
  4. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    I've owned two F150s and a Transit Connect. And TBH i kind of liked the van better because I could tease 30mpg out of it on the highway. It was just less frustrating to own, even if i couldn't take it off road. But what's always stuck in my head is a 5k mile overland trip we did to New Mexico...
  5. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    LOL I lost that argument!!! Taco fans are a cult. Nothing you can do to convince them.
  6. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    2" level lift on a Maverick doesn't make it anything like a Tremor. Just makes it a bit more capable. The maverick doesn't have a rear locker, Fox suspension, etc etc. And the Ranger can tow almost twice as much. Two very different trucks. Also, it's $20k cheaper than the Tremor, and even with...
  7. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    If you want to compare taxes I guarantee you that if i add the cost of my health insurance to my total tax bill it'll beat yours! LOL Before this i lived in Maryland, which had high sales tax AND high state and local income tax. The saying in Maryland is "we can tax that!"
  8. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    She. And my wife wanted a Taco more than I wanted the Ranger. LOL. But yeah, I reevaluated. We do a lot of highway only driving, and need one vehicle that's a bit better suited to pavement miles. The Tacoma will be our Overland rig. I'll likely do a 2" lift on the Maverick and add bigger...
  9. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    Same dealer, won't work. LOL. Maverick is available now and the Tremor won't be in for a month.
  10. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    Yep! Sales tax in Tacoma is 10%. The downside to living in a state with no Income Tax. I suspect my dealer will put it on the lot for $3k-$5k above MSRP. MSRP on this truck is $46k.
  11. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    My partner just bought a Tacoma TRD Off Road. We decided we didn't need two very similar trucks, and something with better mileage makes more sense for daily driving. Also, I am getting the AWD Maverick with the Ecoboost engine, so it is fairly capable.
  12. My Lariat Tremor is on it's way, and I'm not buying it

    Ordered a Lariat Tremor in January. Got the email today that it's been built. But I'm buying a Maverick instead. EDIT: Dealer took my custom Maverick order and sold it to someone else. I had waited months for that truck. Then told me they were confused since I'd ordered two vehicles (a...

    I have a 4/11 build date, and I am waiting patiently. How many weeks are most of you who waiting between build date and delivery? Last time I bought a Ford via factory order I only waited 3 weeks between build and delivery to the Dealer. But it sounds like some people are waiting much longer...
  14. So a 50K Tremor...

    My lariot Tremor MSRP was $45k. No dealer mark-up. They had one on the lot when I walked in, and they would have added $3k to MSRP if i had wanted to buy it. But because i placed a factory order they did not mark it up. I had originally ordered a Maverick, then a month later decided to...

    got my email this morning. it's going to be a fun summer!
  16. Tremor Owners and Orders Lounge

    Placed an order 2 weeks ago for a Lariat Tremor in Silver. Waiting now for my VIN and build date. News of slow-down at ford truck plants is making me nervous. I'm hoping to have this by summer since it's going to be an overlanding rig
