After watching and reading everything under the sun about the Maverick since it's intro .
I decided to see what was available on the local dealer lots .
I knew what I pretty much wanted . I began checking all Mavericks for sale near me , on line .
I found one that fit the bill 100% . I made an appointment for a test drive . That was all it took .

The car was a special order ,and when it arrived at the dealer, the gentleman who ordered it
had to cancel the purchase . Family crisis arose changing his plans at the last minute . I felt bad ,as he had waited nearly 2 years for his build .

It is a 2023 Lariat FX4 , Shadow Black , with every available option +$685.00 in dealer installed options ,TOUCHLINK truck bed lighting
window air deflectors ( all windows ) cargo bed net , and tailgate lock . The tonneau is a hard tri fold .

To top It off the car had a " Ziebart Diamond Gloss Protection Package " that include the paint ,glass , fabric and undercoat and a sprayed in bed liner .
I did get a ford plan discount . I did get the extended service plans they had to offer . I know some will disagree with my chioce but for ten years I don't have to do Squat , just take it to the dealer , wait for the service / repair , drink their coffee ,and do crossword puzzles . LOL

I don,t plan on doing any major mods like some of you . I think I will change the lighting to all LED .

On another note , I have belonged to a lot of other forums in the past ,and so far the members of the Maverick Truck Club , have been very civil and there for one another . I will try not to disapoint.

My wife said it seems like I'm bragging , I don't mean to , but my last NEW vehicle was back in 2000. You know how it goes ,the wife gets the new auto and the hubby gets the " beater " .
My,wife,says,I ,use ,too,many ,commas .

Everbody be safe , happy and healthy .

When the 2005 Mustangs came out, my wife said, "I always get the new car's, maybe you should get another Mustang." I said, "Ok, but I'll get a stick." "Maybe we should get a hybrid Escape..."

We ended up waiting a few years and getting her another F-150...

Nice luck. I'm sure you love it for a long time. Though the wife may end up taking it over if she gets a chance to drive it.
I was lucky to get my Oct 11th 2021 order on Halloween 2022. Almost a year and I love it. Only 3500 miles on it though. And half of that was done in the first week, lol.

I hear you. My Maverick is the first vehicle I have purchased without a 'test drive'. The only example of one was at the dealer for 3 days and it was a company exec's vehicle that he left for my dealer to have people look at, but no driving it.

Ziebart undercoat will be useful in Michigan. You did get lucky to find one that checks all the boxes for you. BTW your lariat has LEDs already in all the important locations, so probably no need to change any lights.

Welcome to the club!

R.C. R U serious ? What's a "test drive"?
I think he means hardly any dealers have them just sitting on the lot, so a test drive is nearly impossible. Anyway, congrats! Were you able to get it without any ADM?

The first time I saw the inside of a Maverick in person was the day my order came in at the dealer.

What is ADM ? I'm not savvy when it comes to using Initials.

Congrats! The OP is not bragging, just thrilled as hell to find what he wanted without having to wait over a year for it.

Wait until I get mine and tell everyone I had to wait over a year for it and do not even think about touching it, leaning on it or even looking at it crosseyed. Haha. :ROFLMAO:
