Having a dealer is like having a neighbor. Good ones can make life enjoyable, bad ones can be irritating as hell.

I still have my 22 that I ordered in January of 22 on the last day order Banks were open. Eleven months of waiting and I received my new 22xl 2.0 shadow black Maverick. 3.5 years and 39.5k miles later still super happy to have my Maverick. Not one problem the whole time. A few recalls that the dealer came to my house to fix with there computer.

I bought my 24 xlt hybrid as a left over when the 25's just came out. Went with a 24 because it had knobs and dials for radio and climate. That was just over a year ago. I have retired so no more commute for me, just short trips around the town hauling grandkids and the dogs around. So I just have a little over 3K miles! Not even broke in!

4+ years with my 2022, drove home 3/30/2022.

Still love it after 54k. Only 14k on the engine that was replaced at 40k under the Longblock replacement CSP.

True. But, you can make a difference too.

Leftover?! Times have changed. Back in '22 there wasn't a Mav to test drive so I tested a hybrid Escape. Ordered, got canceled to a '23 then upgraded to a Lariat which I totaled. When I traded in the XLT I got $3k more than I paid for it from the dealer. Now have a '24, very happy. When dealing with a dealer I start off in "landlord mode": I'm a chump or an asshole. But if they are good to me I'm a good customer. I'm retired too, planning on having my Mav for a long time.

You guys are making me feel inspired. Only 14 months on my '25 and the comments make me feel optimistic about "Fenway."

Same here, and I don't even have a Maverick (yet)!

I decided the 10G was worth the inevitable problems I would have owning a first year ford

I learned the hard way that it's best, if at all possible, to wait until the midcycle refresh to buy a Ford.

Only regret is that I didn't got the truck spec as I wanted

Good to know. I've been watching the second-hand market and have gotten alerts for ones that have been close but not what I want. I was close to compromising and buying but figured I'm just being impatient and fortunately am in no rush to purchase.

For context, I've settled on an XL, hybrid, AWD, 4k tow. Lots of XL hybrid AWD no tow or 2k tow.

I don't. Traded it in two weeks ago for a Ranger but got to park next to it today before my first oil change.

What made you go for the Ranger? I considered it as well. Namely because the 2.7L V6 is now an option. But I don't think it'd be substantially different enough for me to replace my current Nissan Frontier with it, other than having more power.

It’s had its share of issues, but never left me stranded to date.

Wish I could say the same for my last two Ford trucks, and here I am looking for another!

Mine arrived in Jan, 2022. I haven't put a lot of miles on it (22k) but it isn't quite the same vehicle as it started as.

 

[BLUEOVALRACER]

Purchased last April 15 now have 7,700 miles on it love it only problem in cold weather is the clicking noise under 40 degrees that I think is the windshield alignment pins!!

I bought off the lot in October of 2021 and currently have over 149,000 miles as of today and still love it. Still have my original tires/rims (optional falkens) for Michigan winters & and still on my first set of summer tires/rims (general all season). Best new vehicle I’ve ever owned and the longest one I’ve kept.

I can tell my CV axles are going to need replacement soon,

I''ve got a 2023 XLT that has 62000 miles on it. What are the symptoms that make you think the CV axles are needing a replacement soon?

Towing capacity. While the Maverick w/4K tow towed our latest camper, It was at maximum for the hitch weight and it had too much squat. Chose the Ranger with the 2.3 engine and 7.5K tow package as I still wanted better gas milage and more towing capacity. '25/'26 Rangers have the newer 2.3 dual port Mustang engines. Plenty of power. No need to go with the 6 cyl. Haven't hit 1,000 miles yet but so far I'm getting about the same MPG with the Ranger I got with the Maverick around town.

Oh you will know when it's time to replace them. While accelerating up a freeway ramp, you will notice a shimmy. Your legs will be going back and forth. If you ease up on the gas the shimmy will stop. If you get back on the gas it will start up again. It will only get worse if you don't have it fixed.

This will also happen at parking lot speeds, on acceleration.
