Wonder how long the 6G model will go before it starts getting decontented.
2025 - switching to all halogens
2026 - manual wipers operated with a crack pulley system in cab
2027 - only drivers side mirror
2028 - engine decontented will be flinstonning it from now on

I wonder if some options are already off the table.

When I went to order a Maverick, 2 days before those banks closed, I could not get the tow package.

But YIKES! The banks closing before January's even done!
I put a custom order in for a 23 back a few days ago. Only features missing are auto stop/start and the hotspot

I removed WiFi and auto start stop on my 2023 XLT Tremor. It arrived without the hotspot, but I got the auto start stop free of charge…. I think the big blue “F” felt they did me a favor… I humbly disagree.

Auto start stop cannot be deleted from a Tremor. Dealer should have told you that. Did you get the credit for it?

Odd.

Why did they never delete it from the Tremors.

It took 75 or 95 dollars off my invoice when I removed it. I ordered through Military Auto Source (MAS) when I was still in Korea, so that could have had something to do it. I got a decent price going that route, but if I’m honest the sales rep was an idiot and communication with them was painful to say the least. Also, the dealer that prepped my truck didn’t make much since the sale was through a 3rd party, so they were less inclined to do anything for me. I bought my wife’s vehicle there at the same time (used) so you would think that would have made up for it. So far, it doesn’t seem like it. Nevertheless, I got my truck so that makes up for a lot.

Here is my order sheet, from 1/17/23.

I don’t understand why Azure costs an extra thousand bucks and why do automakers continue to get away with such a steep destination charge? Most dealers are tracking on another 500-1k for “administrative” or “processing” fees too. They tried making me pay $300 for laxer etching on the windows…. I checked the windows and they weren’t laser etched. Just bad business. You can’t honestly tell me it costs ford more than a couple hundred bucks (if even that) to deliver a vehicle stateside since they transport them in a methodical delivery path with several vehicles at once. Just another way to flex the capitalistic mind and squeeze that much more out of the little guy. I’m not jaded.
