How to factory order a new truck in Miami Oklahoma
It’s no secret that new inventory is hard to come by for dealerships as well as customers. COVID, chip shortages, canal-related mishaps, and other disasters have all led to the strangest auto market situation that we’ve ever seen.
If you’ve been shopping around for your next vehicle, you’ve likely already seen how difficult it can be to find exactly what you’re looking for.
You might find the perfect SUV with everything you need, BUT it’s in the wrong color. You might find a sedan that would be a great fit for your family, but it doesn’t have steering wheel controls, and that’s a dealbreaker for you. You might be looking for a new heavy-duty truck and find nothing at all. When it comes to something you plan on using for years, it’s hard to compromise on features, color, or even the exact model you want.
When you custom factory order a truck at John Vance Auto Group, you’re able to get exactly what you’re looking for, and without the frustration of searching Autotrader and local dealership websites.
You get to skip the line when you order a new car, is what we’re telling you. While it’s definitely no secret that the current situation is a crazy one, it’s much less known that you can simply go straight to the factory through John Vance Auto Group.
Customize what features and specs your factory ordered truck has without spending hours of time searching online. You can get the process of custom ordering your SUV from our website and have it delivered to your nearest John Vance Auto Group dealership. You might want to ask the question “How long does it take to order a car from the factory?” Normally it might be quicker to pick something up from what’s currently available on the lot, but that’s no longer the case with inventory constraints.
Ordering a new car through a dealership doesn’t have to be stressful.
In fact, it can even be an enjoyable experience when you partner up with a reputable dealership and take the time to ensure what you’re ordering is the exact right car you want. You’ll never have as much freedom of choice in your cay-buying experience as you will find in your special ordered vehicle experience.
Best outdoor seating restaurants in Joplin Missouri 2021
We’re coming off of a year of isolation, and now that life has begun again, it’s time to get out and enjoy the company of our friends and family. That means it’s time for good eats, preferably ones with a great outdoor patio.
We compiled a list of restaurants in and around Joplin that have patios or outdoor seating to take full advantage of the beautiful Missouri Summer.
Tropicana Bar & Grill
We wanted to start with Tropicana Bar and Grill in Joplin for a few different reasons. The top reason is their incredibly-strong review level online, which is usually a pretty great indicator of quality. Their self-described “balcony seating” has us intrigued, and we’re planning to give their american-style cuisine a try next time we’re in town.
Since we’re located just a short distance from Joplin, over in Miami Oklahoma, we spend a great deal of time mingling with our neighboring city.
Crabby’s
You’ll “sea” why we recommended this crustacean-themed restaurant the moment you walk in, as their crab cakes are to die for. When you’re looking for something as specific as outdoor seating at a Joplin seafood restaurant, it’s hard to find a more appropriate location than Crabby’s.
They even offer takeout, so you’re covered if you want tilapia to go.
Screamin’ Chicken
With a name like Screamin’ Chicken, it’s hard to imagine this place is anything other than a blast.
Reviews of this downtown Joplin food truck leave us with the impression that this is a fantastic spot for a quick wing fix while spending time in the great outdoors. We have it on good authority that their buffalo sauce is top notch, but what about the lemon pepper?
Visit and let us know!
WISEGUYS Italian American Comfort Foods
This place may look like a hole in the wall, but the hundreds of five-star reviews this place has raked in leaves us certain that it’s worth the trip.
This is potentially the highest rated italian restaurant in Joplin, and they’ve earned a cult following of folks who make sure to drop by every time they are in town. Their front porch area is not the most fancy spot to dine down, but this isn’t fine dining. It’s casual Italian food that you can even take out.
Joplin is a beautiful city that’s just a stone’s throw away from our dealership in Miami, Oklahoma, and we’d love it if you’d make the short leap over to see us.
What is the difference between AWD and 4WD?
What is the difference between AWD and 4WD?
What’s the difference between 4wd and awd? It’s a question we’ve all had to figure out at one point or another, and there’s no shame in asking for clarification on the subject. After all, they sound roughly the same, right? All wheels? There are four of them driving, so isn’t that all of them?
The answer is simple and easy, but there are a plethora of different ways that Four-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive systems operate that are specialized for the intent of the vehicle. Some trucks are meant to conquer every piece of terrain in sight, but some aren’t. -and, likewise, some cars just need the capability to drive through snow and harsh road conditions, while some are perfectly fine and purpose-built for sunny-day optimal weather driving only.
Typically, but not always, all-wheel drive is meant to get you through tough weather conditions or limited stretches of less-developed roads. When you’re looking at hardcore offroaders like what you’d take out to Little Sahara park in Oklahoma, you’re not typically considering bringing an AWD Volkswagen Tiguan out for dune-riding.
This is why you’ll often see sedans, crossovers, coupes, and hatchbacks with AWD systems, because they’re not meant for mudding, blazing new trails, or rock-crawling. They just need to be able to handle entry-level situations. Last year, when we had the massive ice-storms sweep Oklahoma and cause untold destruction to roads, it was almost critical to have more than a front-wheel or rear-wheel drive system, as the road conditions were slick and dangerous.
Life doesn’t just hit pause when the weather takes a turn for the worst, however, and the Okies who had something like a Honda Pilot with AWD were able to safely and efficiently navigate to work, the grocery store, and Byrons.
If you’re looking to head out to some local Oklahoma ORV parks or quasi-legally explore the trails behind electric lines, you’re likely looking for a 4×4 system.
What’s the difference between 4×4 and 4WD? Not a thing. It’s just a matter of semantics, and people will understand what you mean regardless of which you use. Hardcore offroad vehicles like the Wrangler Rubicon, Ram Power Wagon, and the new Ram TRX all come with four-wheel drive because they’re more than just snowry road handling machines. Every now and then you’ll run into a 4WD sedan, like the exceptionally odd AMC Eagle, but that’s moreso the exception than the rule.
That’s the difference between 4WD and AWD, and we hope you’ll use your newfound knowledge when you visit us to find your next adventure vehicle.

2022 Maverick – Ford’s newest compact truck
2022 Ford Maverick Compact Pickup Truck in Miami Oklahoma
After months and months of living on crumbs of details leaked from Ford, we’ve finally been given official confirmation of the 2022 Ford Maverick.
You may remember many months ago when a leaked Ford factory image showcased the “Maverick” nameplate on the tailgate of a truck, but this is the first time Ford has officially confirmed that yes, the new truck we’ve been eyeing in spy shots for so long will be called the Maverick.
The wait is finally over, and you’re now able to reserve the 2022 Ford Maverick in Joplin at your local Ford dealership, Vance Ford Miami. There’s only a small deposit needed to lock yours in, but you’ll have to act fast to get a good place in line for this truck release. This is the smaller truck that we’ve all been waiting for, and it’ll be just as compatible with city living as it will be with rural living.
In Ford released images, we can clearly see hybrid badging on the tailgate. Now that the release is well-underway, we know for a fact that there’s a hybrid powertrain in the 2022 Ford Maverick.
This revelation is in tune with the direction Ford is headed, as they recently revealed the new F-150 Lightning, an all-electric truck. While we’re hoping (possibly without reason) for an all-electric Ford Maverick (Which some have already brilliantly dubbed the Lil Lightning), it’s certain we’ll get an entirely internal combustion engine Maverick in addition to the hybrid.
As the new Ford Maverick in Joplin will be built on the same platform as the Bronco Sport, it’s highly likely that these new compact trucks will be equipped similarly to the Bronco Sport, with packages like Badlands and the Wildtrak. That was our theory at first, but we’ve been made aware that this new compact truck will come with similar trim names to the F-150.
Not many trucks can rake in an extravagant 40 miles-per-gallon like the 2022 Maverick near me, but it can do that while also packing a 1500-lb standard payload capacity. Not just that, however, but it also has 2000 lb base towing capacity and up to 4000-lb available max towing capability, making its ability mammoth to its proportions..
This affordable, efficient truck has enough space inside for you and your family without compromising the bed space you need for hauling around all your goodies.
Not only is its hybrid powertrain smart, but the technology inside like standard Android Auto and Apple Carplay is also a cutting-edge tech feature that sets the new Ford Maverick in Miami Oklahoma apart from offerings like the Honda Ridgeline.
While there is a decent amount of customization to be done for your Maverick 2022, you’re able to opt for various trim levels like the Maverick XL, XLT, new Ford Maverick Lariat, and the Lariat First Edition. For now, that’s all we’re working with, but rumors are swirling about an electric variant of this new compact truck that’s likely to be named the Maverick Lightning or the Lil Lightning.
Reserve your 2022 Maverick here.
Vehicles aren’t cheap. New trucks, especially, are not cheap, and that’s not even counting new electric trucks. In order to make the purchase cost more feasible, federal tax credits take up to thousands of dollars off of the price you paid for your new electric vehicle. What complicates things, however, is finding what electric vehicles qualify for the federal EV tax credit.
The first qualifier for the tax credit is that the vehicle must have been made in a factory to be an electric vehicle from genesis. This means that electric vehicle conversions do not qualify for the EV credit, even though they’re still promoting a less emission-heavy lifestyle.
To qualify for the federal EV credit, the truck (in this case the 2022 F-150 Lightning) cannot weigh more than 14,000 pounds. You’re in luck with this truck, as the new electric Ford only weighs about half of that figure.
Yet another qualifier that the 2022 F-150 Lightning in Joplin MO meets is that it must rely on an electric motor for the majority of its power. As you likely know by now, the new F-150 Lightning is all-electric, so 100% of its power is relying on its electric motors.
The tax credit only applies to the first purchase of the new vehicle, so if you have decided to lease your electric vehicle, you’re out of luck.
Reserve your 2022 F-150 Lightning here
It’s worth noting that your experience claiming the federal EV credit for the 2022 Ford Lightning may not play out like you’re thinking. As with all government incentives, it’s difficult to claim and may ring in at a lower figure than you anticipate. The way that this amount comes to you is via a reduction to the tax liability you have.
In order to make the most of this tax credit, you’ll have to already make enough each year to be sent a tax bill for $7,500 and up. If you still meet the qualifications with both your income and choice in vehicle, then you can save some serious money with the EV tax credit in Joplin.
Do you meet the criteria we’ve highlighted? Congratulations! You might be eligible to save thousands of dollars on the purchase of your new 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning in Joplin Missouri at Vance Ford.

You can now place your reservation for the all-new F-150 Lightning in Joplin MO through Vance Country Ford today.
Now that the F-150 Lightning is here in Joplin, it’s time to unleash the raw power of the all-electric Ford truck.
While the face of the new Ford Lightning might take some getting used to, it’s plain to see that this truck will be a powerhouse of performance on and off road. With a claimed zero to sixty time of 4.5 seconds, this is sure to be an absolutely insane electric vehicle in Joplin. It’s even faster than the Raptor, making it the fastest F-150 you can buy from the factory. Its dual-motor setup will allow for instant torque and a range of around 300 miles. You’ll even be able to use the new Lightning truck to power a jobsite, campsite, or any other occasion where you’d typically require a generator, and this is made simple by the several plugin locations found on this new Ford truck.
While folks may clamor online for a two-door version of the new Lightning Ford, it’s the current trend for trucks to offer Supercrew setups that maximize sheer size.
With the amount of power behind the Ford Lightning in Joplin MO, it’s no surprise that this truck will pack impressive towing-capacity. While the entry-level Ford Lightning will have a range of around 230 miles, it’s worth noting that this new electric truck is being offered for just below 40k at its most affordable price, making it a very well priced EV.
With the ability to tow up to 10,000 pounds in its highest tier and up to 563 horsepower on tap, it’s plain to see that the 2022 Lightning lives up to the historical nameplate that it’s rocking.
The top-spec Lightning F-150 will have a range of about 300 miles, which is more than enough for your commute to Joplin and back. The 2022 Lightning Ford even has an independent rear suspension, so this will be a smooth-riding truck for extended drives and road trips.
While the new F150 Lightnings aren’t that different in appearance from the regular F-150, when you take a closer look you’ll see the style and functional differences that Ford used to sculpt this new electric truck in Joplin. While the occasional news story of a Tesla or similar vehicle having a battery-related implosion may seem intimidating when considering an EV, Ford has waterproofed and completely enclosed the F150 Lightning’s batteries with metal skid plates for impenetrable protection.
