  1. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    This is a great point. I agree completely.
  2. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    Yes. My mom had a W123 300D from like 1984. She had it until 2005 or so and it still looked and felt good. The current VW stuff is similarly nice. Though I can't vouch for how well it will last.
  3. Help a Novice figure out if he should do a reservation now?

    How do you like the Gladiator? What did you drive before it? One benefit of the Gladiator is the roughly 7000 lb tow capacity. I've got decades of experience pulling small trailers, both utility and boat. The utility trailer I have now has a roll up ramp on the back. So it is very easy to...
  4. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    yes, that looks great, PERFECT. Actually. And it would go great with cactus grey exterior. Unfortunately Black diamond can't be had above a Mid level package. I tend to keep my cars for 10+ years. I want the toys. For the most part, an Outer Banks, Badlands, and Wildtrack can be optioned...
  5. Help a Novice figure out if he should do a reservation now?

    This is key. Thanks. So with a priority 99, Ford gets back and asks for confirmation before its turned into an order. This gives you the opportunity to possibly switch dealers, but most importantly tweak the order to add or remove items. Right? Thanks again.
  6. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    If only they offered it in tan or grey. This is me going around in circles. I've owned a car with a Tan dash. It reflected horribly in certain conditions. I notice the cars with Roast interior have a tan dash. Again - interior 101. the glare shield should be black. even if the rest of the...
  7. Help a Novice figure out if he should do a reservation now?

    One last question (probably a lie). What happens if Chapman decides in a month to offer 5% off?? Do existing customers get that? They were running something like $1600 under invoice until recently. Are those people now getting 4% under? This is more of a hypothetical question. I don't...
  8. Help a Novice figure out if he should do a reservation now?

    I have worked in the car business and never considered myself to be a "whore". So I'm having a hard time going somewhere other than local. But local dealers have told me that they will be selling at MSRP for as long as they can. So if Tom is good to deal with and has the best price, a drive...
  9. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    A friend had a Jetta wagon with the VW vinyl and it held up great. My dog rides in a crate in the way-back, so one of the things I'll have to confirm is if a crate can fit in the back of a Bronco. When we go hunting he is often filthy, muddy, and wet. So he is used to riding in a crate. In...
  10. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    I had mentioned above that I liked the 2 tone on the Black diamond. Which can't get high or lux. The badlands doesn't offer 2 tone MGV. Only black. But it does offer high and lux.
  11. Help a Novice figure out if he should do a reservation now?

    Ok. One more question. Chapman Ford is offering 4% under invoice right now. If I place the reservation and name them as the dealer am I locked into them? Lets say that my local dealer finally relents and agrees to match the price, saving me a 300 mile drive to Philly. Can I reassign it to...
  12. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    I'm sure that this rating is done in some kind of standardized test box with a documented light intensity. Again, having grown up on the shore, I can tell you that I've owned boats that have survived years outside without a cover. Of course the vinyl in those boats was white. Which I"m sure...
  13. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    That looks very nice. Unfortunately, you can't go above the Mid package with that model. Strange. They really have made it difficult to order exactly what you want.

    Thanks.
  15. Help a Novice figure out if he should do a reservation now?

    This is huge. If for some reason I have to convert to an order and the only money at risk is the original $100. Then I'll order one now. Thanks, Don
  16. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    I saw. Thanks. Your pics show a 2 tone MGV interior. Is it me or is MGV only available in black in the configurator? I'm trying to avoid a pure black interior. I like a little color. It amazes me that Ford doesn't offer a simple tan or grey in every model. That's like interior 101...
  17. Marine Grade Vinyl questions

    Thats the info I was looking for. It sounds like the VW or MB products, which both feel like leather. Except that after 7 or 8 years they don't start to crack and tear. Thank you. Marine grade vinyl is really a meaningless marketing term. Iike "aircraft grade aluminum". (no such thing...

  19. Help a Novice figure out if he should do a reservation now?

    But will I have to convert it to an order before I get a chance to drive one??
