And it looked fantastic. So we actually built and ordered two of them, no money down, and no obligations.
The dealer actually told me, he hoped we bought them, but even if not, us ordering them was about the only way they could get them sent to their lot, as Ford was only sending out pre ordered Mavericks, and not just for them to sell from there lot.
Anyway, it looked bigger and tougher in person than I expected. Interior looked and felt great too. In fact, I'd have been 100% sold... Except for the fact I can't get get adaptive cruise control, which I use almost 100% of the time in my Prius when I'm on the freeway. I'd have to pay $3K extra for that by getting the Lariat + end up with an interior and wheels I don't even like.
So I'll probably let them keep it ☹ Bummer.
My GF ordered the brighter blue one, Hybrid of course, and she's never even had a vehicle with ACC, so no loss for her, with that.
It's not "just" that I think ACC is the most monumental feature of any vehicle ever.... But keep in mind, I LOVE my F150, and it's paid for, and it has the ridiculous stereo that I've worked on for 13 years.... In short, that truck is my baby.
So if I'm going to lose it for something else, I better be thrilled with that new vehicle in every darn way...
PS, Feeling pretty bummed this morning. I was thinking, its not SO bad, as when a girl you love dumps you.... Its more like, when you have no choice, but to dump the girl. Granted, it was your choice..... But you really hoped it wouldn't come to this....
Think I'm, just going to get a new set of tires for my F150 ($1800 !) and do a "once every few years" touch up on her. Heck if I can't afford to drive her, at least I can make her look pretty, and admire her on the driveway
lol ....or drive it around the corner and play with the stereo
Honestly, I think my truck uses as much fuel at idle, as my Prius does at 75mph on the freeway !
My GF's will look just like this one... Same paint, XLT. I think it looks great.....
