I cleaned her up today and added the stainless steel lettering. I had to share it. I'm a bit biased, but that dang truck looks good!

The stainless steel letters look sharp. Where did you get them?

Ford dealership with coupon. A little pricey but nice!

Ordered 6/29. Original build date 11/29, then 12/6, then 12/20, then finally built 1/3/2022. Shipped on 1/4 or 1/5, stalked the rail car movement until it arrived at Wayne assembly on 1/16, and delivered to the dealer 1/18 (yesterday).

Very happy with this new addition! The Mav's overall height seems shorter than our 1995 Ranger 2.3l s/c 4x2 M/T ($14.5 k MSRP in 1995).

BTW, that Ranger M/T 5-spd with manual windows was anemic with it's 112 HP and 135 ft-#. Fast-forward 27 years later and I get this loaded Mav for $31.8K MSRP??!! DANG...inflation adjusted, this is the best value automobile out there!

The animations on the drive modes are so slick. I like the subtle B&O audio logos. B&O (Harman) did a great job with the audio, and a quiet interior. Not as quick or as quiet as the similarly-powered 2018 Fusion Titanium Hybrid I'm replacing, but it's very close. Seems like the Mav has better freeway passing ability as compared to our 2018 Fusion Hybrid. The Mav does not come with an auto-dimming, electrochromic rearview or sideview mirrors, but I can live with that. The lane centering system is awesome, and way better than the lane keeping aid in my 2018 Fusion.

'Alto Blue' seems very different in various lighting. I swear I can see some greenish hues at times. My wife disagrees, and tells me I'm color blind. Anyway, it makes me reminiscent of some of the bluish-green Ford Explorers of the 1990s/2000s. It's almost black-looking when it's overcast. I prefer a purer blue metallic, like the 2022 Mustang Atlas Blue.

But back to the Mav, Alto Blue is a great contrast to the blues in the interior panels and seat trim. I would not want to look at the door jambs of a Velocity Blue Mav against this Lariat interior trim or seating trim.

The Mav feels spacious (front and back) for my 5'7" frame. No floor mats in the back seat? Strange.

39.5 MPG c/h mix on my way home from the dealer on 38 F morning.

Factory soft trifold tonneau fits well. The weep holes look clean (my build date was after the recall on the weep hole clearing procedure). Here are some pics!

I was going with those or the black platinum. I went with the black, but haven't put them on yet. They look real good.

Oh, I forgot to ask earlier, could I ask for a link from where you got the Flag on the bumper, it appears thick instead of the usual thin stick on label. (I'm a strong supporter of our police, fire, first responders). Thanks for any info.

It was a Christmas present and it's a magnet. As a retired police officer I'd say you're observant on the thickness. I didn't want to put it on the metal so I used velcro on the bumper.

Where in Fl are you at? I have an Alto Blue on order and have still yet to see one in the wild to see the color in person.

I love my carbonized grey but the more I'm seeing Alto Blue, the more I am liking it. I was trying to get my build as low as a I can but if I had to do it over again, I'd pay extra for Alto Blue because you're right, it's beautiful.

Carbonized Grey was my first choice because I though5 it went well with the body cladding and FX4 wheels. Then I switched to Hot Pepper Red after seeing some pics here. The Hybrid Lariat looks best in Alto Blue, matches interior well.
