I just returned from my "bucket list" road trip in my Maverick. I needed 16 states toward all 50. I had to drive through 25 states to check off the 16.
6,261 miles. 15 days. 31.9 MPG on regular unleaded. 125 hours of driving time. 25 states. 1 gallon of windshield wiper fluid. One cracked tail light lens (and probably one dead bird). Three small rock chips. Oil life monitor showing 42% remaining; but taking it in for an oil change next week. I had it changed at 1100 miles a few days before the trip. Running Ford/Motorcraft full synthetic using Ford Pass points.
Saw one Maverick the entire trip. It was a Cactus gray one near Danbury, CT on the evening of June 1.
The infotainment system went blank on me one time and I had to do the reset thing with the open door, unlock magic sequence. After several minutes and a few ignition on/off cycles it came back and never happened again. Seems like it happened when I left my iPhone plugged it when starting it. I made sure to unplug the iPhone when turning off the engine every time and it never happened again. Not sure if it was just coincidental or the cause. Overall this was a minor inconvenience.
States driven thru: TX, OK, KS, SD, ND, WI, MN, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, NJ, NY, CT, RI, DE, MD, MD, VA, WV, TN, GA, AL, MS, AR
Overall: the Maverick performed well and rode very comfortably.
