2023 Maverick Tremor @ 86k Miles - short review and spring photos - Happy Easter

[Heyspike]

Hello all, Thanks for all the help with posts both my own and others, these forums are great.

I have owned my Maverick for 3 years now and have about 86k on it.

I still have original front brakes which are probably do soon for replacement, and replaced my OEM tires around 60K. I changed my rear drive unit oil last month and will do the front this month (now that I know how to).

This little truck has been great, no problems at all it has seen regular oil changes and tire rotations.

I have a roll up hard top which has been bullet proof, use it many times during the week, and an elevate rack I put on every year for kayak fishing. (trout season opened 4/1 in NY).

I average anywhere between 20 and 28 MPG's depending on the load and how fast I'm going. I tend to leave the car running a lot when I take my dog to work every week--so the milage may vary.
I've towed a 14ft deep v boat to SC from NY without a problem last year, and do round trips from NY to SC about 5 to 6 times a year.

Here's a few photos for you.

PS-One question, how to I get back to FM/AM when I'm listening to an app from my phone, without unplugging my phone?

Thanks all,
John

Great Review and good to hear You haven't had any problems with 86,000 miles on it!!

You know it's kind of funny and ironic. The backseat is done to accommodate a dog or dogs. Even bars to separate the backseat from the front. Yet in the pictures one of the backseat you see a tail coming from the front seat area and another picture of your dog in the front seat area LOL. Loved the pictures looks like a lot of love, enjoy them while you can. It's unfortunate they don't last long, still I'm not complaining or wouldn't discount the time we share and the unconditional love they teach us. By the way great looking truck.

Since the Tremor trim includes the larger digital cluster display:

Press the Menu (OK) button on the right side of your steering wheel.

Scroll to the Audio section on your dashboard screen.

Use the arrow keys to select Source and toggle to AM or FM. This allows you to change the music without ever leaving your navigation map on the main center screen.

My dog would be SO jealous of that back seat but loves her truck!

I can lower the gate but he prefers to ride on the center console. This guy is my 5th Shepherd in 30 years.

Thanks for the radio update, both ways worked. I've been unplugging my phone cord every time for 3 years.
Here's another pic from last week down in Murrells Inlet.

Beautiful dogs, I actually bought my Maverick for trips to Ohio with Angela, she hated traveling in my Miata.
