PSA: DON'T ORDER A FORD MAVERICK FROM THESE DEALERS

It's ugly as sin. F150 still the way to go.

[@tallcip65]

@@HDCanadianTrainVideos I dig the way it looks. Kinda like an old school mini-truck from the 80s-90s mixed with a nascar truck. And with gas prices the way they are it seems much more reasonable than a full size pickup that costs 10-15k more.

[@craigphillips3154]

I agree. I want a small truck that I can use to commute during the week, run to the garden center on the week, and take a road trip once in awhile...and still fits in the garage.

[@craigphillips3154]

@@HDCanadianTrainVideos The Maverick and F150 are completely different markets and use cases. Not to mention that a Maverick is about half the cost and twice the gas mileage. The Maverick isn't intended to be a commercial truck. At best, it MIGHT be a shop truck or construction supervisor/salesperson vehicle. The Maverick is a "dad's commuter car". It's for getting to work, running the kids to practice, and Home Depot runs on the weekends. It's not a "towing the cabin cruiser to the lake" vehicle.

Just had a dealer in Dallas, TX say they are requiring a $1,000 deposit that is non-refundable. I was given a story about how the truck will sit on their lot as it's built to my specs and not their "clientele" if I decided to walk away. This dealer also told me if I were to place on order that my order would sit on their desk until Ford starts "pulling orders" to build. Thank you Long McArthur for all your honest upfront information. This is my first foray into the whole "reserve/order" a vehicle so I wouldn't know any of this without you.

Thank you for your advice. It took 3 dealers before one agreed to no deposit. The others said Ford required it.

[@petermcdonald2846]

I placed an order for a Maverick with these folks based largely on these videos. They were just as advertised and saved me more run around with local dealers (in another state) who wanted anywhere from $650 - 1000 down and just didn’t make me feel very special. Contacted LM and that same day I had an order for the build I was interested in with 0 down. I have no problem financing through them at least initially for the free shipping to my state. I believe in giving credit where it’s due and the ordering experience with LM was just as expected from these videos. Pretty simple and pleasant experience and now just sitting back and looking forward to my Maverick this fall.

The out the door price will be MSRP, sales tax & doc fees, I'm sure, as it's typical with all new car purchases.

So far I’m pretty happy with my dealer. They had a Maverick that was sent to the sales manager to put some miles on it, and they arranged a test drive on it for me so I wouldn’t be ordering something I had never driven. I got mine ordered with a $500 refundable deposit (which I am okay with since it goes toward the cost of the vehicle) for MSRP, and it’s all in writing. I’m happy to get confirmation that they seem to be doing things the correct way. My build date has been bouncing around a bit, but that’s on Ford’s end, not the dealer’s.

@@ofcbob6391 In Penn, the sales tax is 6% (or 7% if in philadelphia or piitsburg). Doc fees for title, tags, registration typically run around $250. Note most of this is not something the dealer controls unless they try to add on some outrageous "admin fee". For example if you transfer the title and go to a auto tag place you'd typically pay a fee of $250 no matter what. Most of that goes to the state and the auto tag places adds on a admin fee, typically around 10% or so. I just sold two vehicles and that was about the cost to xfer the title, etc for that the buyers had to pay.

[@gooberthoreau]

Customers need to realize that they have power in this scenario too. Right now, the dealer needs you just as much as you need the dealer (in fact maybe even more-so) because they don't have any cars on the lot and basically can only get 1 truck. If you don't show up to make that order, they aren't going to have a truck to sell. You got to hold the line and refuse to be fleeced. Ultimately, the market is going to have to change the way it does business to accommodate the change in environment and there may be a day where manufactures start to sell direct in the near future.

[@vitaly6312]

Try the ranger first and see how it fits you. From what I understand, most people find Ford spaces fairly comfortable, even though they seem tight between the center and the door. I don’t think you’ll have an issue with height with the maverick if you find the width comfortable. I don’t really like how Ford ranger and SUVs seats “hug” you in place, but being close to your size I think you’ll fit - as long as you like Ford interiors. You will be towards the top end of the height range I believe.

[@frivlus]

@@woodwaker1 In this case I think you can buy the first model year for two reasons: 1. The Maverick is based on a lot successful technologies FMC has years of experience developing and implementing; 2. FMC cannot afford to produce a lemon in this segment as it will become highly competive quickly and they want tolead the pack. They cannot do that with a failure. Its the reason I am getting a Maverick for my wife and purchased a Mach E earlier this year. BTW, the Mach E has been nothing but a joy to own and drive - it has seem more mileage than my 2016 Mustang convertible, this summer. Ford has really turned itself around with its engineering and first year releases. Again, with the margins involved and competition coming they need to get it right, and they KNOW this.

That would be awesome! So tired of dealing with dealerships that try and screw people out of money. I saw two or three dealerships trying to get between $31,000-$33,000 for an XL model and $42,000 for an XLT… I think Ford should see that and cut them off. It makes the brand look bad. It’s just not right to be that greedy. Who the hell would pay those prices when Ford’s whole point was to make an affordable option for people who can’t afford a big truck? Toyota already has the best selling mid-sized truck in the Tacoma. They go well equipped for around the $34-$42,000 range. Why would I pay the same price for a smaller, less capable vehicle? I don’t understand how these people stay in business to be honest. My aunt worked for Ford her whole life and she always told me that there is definitely a difference in the dealerships. She said most are straight crooks and predators, and then there are those few that always try to get you a good fair deal. The one thing is they all make money. The problem is ultimately who owns it.

I knew the dealerships were going to f this up, one of the main selling points was affordability but the dealers are going to be scumbags and put these ridiculous markups or hide it as "dealer fees" Good job Long McArthur. Shame I live in Philadelphia, PA.

[@JohhnyQuest]

I had a great experience with my local dealer, they called me within 2-3 minutes after I completed the online forms. They did require the $500 deposit, but I can't fault them for that.

[@sgt.grinch3299]

I wish I knew about your dealership last year when I got my Explorer ST & Ranger XLT Sport 4x4. In 2 years I will contact you for my next vehicle. I thinking Raptor or Tremor. Thanks. Your dealership seems very honest.

[@jeremywheeler8417]

Thanks for the video. I got my order in with you guys the other day.

[@se7ensamurai]

I might actually drive to Kansas from central AZ to buy from this guy. :)

[@antoniot1986]

Great information thanks for Sharing, makes me want travel and order from you! lol.

[@gjohnston6052]

Maintain the right to repair, thank you. Free ....The shell game, you Always pay. Something that is free can't come with conditions.

[@covertsnake]

This is a great case for allowing direct sales

[@rickrayn]

Dealers who act like this are ones that don't care about the brand. They think only about the short term.

[@rickhibdon11]

I was hesitant about buying from 900 miles away, but the free shipping makes it much easier. Wish you would extend that offer for cash deals though

I got my order confirmation from Ford. It says it is an early build vehicle. Hope I see it by November.

[@JC-bl9bo]

I ordered a Titanium Escape a few weeks ago. 500 dollar refundable deposit. No talk at all of a markup and I won't pay a markup so they can keep it if they try that when it comes in. My lease is up in August so hopefully it'll be here in July sometime. 🤞

[@heresteven]

Dealership would not sell me the truck unless I paid $38k for a $25k maverick. I didn't abandon the order, and made an offer a little over MSRP, because that was the price I ordered the truck at. They know they could sell it for more and kept the truck.

[@longmcarthurford]

That isn't right, sorry to hear that.

[@joecody195]

very helpful video, I'm on the edge...

[@lucidingo3455]

First dealer I called said they could not order hybrid mavericks. Second dealer no problem

[@rjd5894]

Tried to order from Gator Ford in tampa. Was told misinformation and outright lies. Left there and went to Brandon Ford and had it ordered in 15 minutes.

[@donlewis2941]

I didn't do a reservation before I placed an order with a local dealer. I asked them if this was a problem, should I put in a reservation and have them tie the order to the reservation number? They tell me no need to do that; my order will be processed. Should i be concerned or trust them? My experince: Ordered XLT trim, velocity blue, FX4 package, moon roof, full size spare (note; Why is full size spare not part of FX4 package? who would go off-road with only the mini-spare?!), spray-in bedliner, Trifold Tonneau cover. I debated the tow package but decided against it; if I needed to tow 4K, I think a Ranger/F-150 would be better. I liked a few things in the luxury package but most of it (heated seats, etc) would don't cared, so I opted to not do that. There was a $695 acquisition fee that I questioned; turned that was if I were to lease the vehicle. It'll mostly be a cash sale. $500 deposit; not sure if refundable or not. Expecting MSRP pricing; I'll bail if they try to do a dealer markup, tho the quote they gave is for MSRP with the only disclaimer is that pricing from Ford may change (CYA on their part?)

[@jerrycollins6985]

Well I did it online through Ford, built it online, forward a copy to the dealer, then the dealer requested a copy of my drivers license to show proof that it is a real customer. Ford has confirmed that I am a customer. I am number one for the dealer first order. I can walk away if the truck is not what I want or can not work out a deal. I do have a nice trade in which should help, I own a 2013 Nissan Frontier SV crew cab with 67K miles as it s only three miles to work. I also have access to the X plan discount.

[@fernarias]

Don't service either. Can you imagine what they are overcharging when your car has a problem.

[@tammyeaton4791]

Here in Oregon, Gresham Ford doesn’t charge markup. I don’t know about the dealership documentation fee.

[@aberdeenmeadows]

Mostly agree with you with the exception of the dealer getting stock in - you can buy what they get in... but you have to be quick! They have one coming in this month and more in September and they will begin to get more in. You will need to get on the waiting list.

[@brigette3004]

Cypress ford here in California is charging $10k over msrp.

[@chrisspataro3988]

Great information..thanks for posting

[@JClark-34695]

I ordered my '23 XLT in New York State for invoice. WHAT?! Hold on- I'm a former employee. Gotta fly up from Florida, but well worth it; dealers here want $5k over MSRP.
