It's nice to see Maverick production really improving. People need affordable vehicles in the market. I'd like to see more offered because $60k+ full sized trucks are getting hard for most people to afford.
Since it's a rendering, I still do t trust it but it looks similar to what the spy photos are showing. The rear would def look different than what they rendered but the front should be 85% correct.
Why do you think that? We aren’t getting the new affordable EVS. I assume a cheaper better battery is being engineered for the U759 and maybe the Lincoln U760 is they even do the Lincoln.
No she has been looking on their order bank. She said the Nautilus has been different than all the other models. If the Nautilus was the same as the other models, I would have had my window sticker a month ago, but it still isn't available through any site (the Lincoln order tracker or the various Ford window sticker websites), it is still a 404.pdf. She specifically told me that they have not been getting invoices on the Nautilus until they were in country, she didn't know why, I suspect it is a customs thing or Ford is just not billing the dealer until it hits Portland.
This morning's gas prices in Hamden, CT (New Haven)
$3.65 Regular (Cash) @ Gulf
$3.65 Regular (Cash) @ Citgo
Hamden Gulf prices for Mid-Grade and Premium finally dropped this morning to compete with the Citgo station. It's usually the Gulf station that leads with pricing actions.
I'm guessing that your salesperson thinks that physical invoices are sent to the dealership via mail which is not the case. Both Dealer Invoices and Window Stickers are available to the dealership online with the Window Stickers available via the FordDirect database, or the Lincoln counterpart. The Dealer Invoice and Window Sticker are generated just before production to reflect the final vehicle specifications. There's no reason to believe that these documents would be produced at a later date because of the foreign production. In addition, U.S. Customs should have no bearing on production of these documents.
I would recommend talking directly to the Sales Manager, as Sales Representatives are often not familiar with the retail order process or have access to the resources available to provide accurate information.
Showing as shipped as of 6/4. Yesterday though it still showed as built. Either way the window sticker is still 404.pdf, so no joy there. My salesperson said she hasn't seen an invoice yet and seems to think that they don't actually get an invoice until it hits the port in Portland, guess once it clears customs, which from a Ford billing standpoint would make sense. I suppose the window sticker will go active then also. Just under 2 months from order to build, about another month from build to shipping. I am guessing 4 to 6 weeks on the boat and another 4 to 6 weeks to get to the dealer. So looking at 2 to 3 more months likely.
If Ford wants to expand the Mustang line to include the long-rumored sports sedan, and also wants to lighten the cars to help performance and economy, maybe there's one more real update before the inevitable EV takeover....
