Bargeld's 2023 Maverick Hybrid Lariat Lux Oxford White w/ BAP + CP360 Assist + Moonroof Build

[Bargeld]

Welcome to my build page! As the title states, I have a 2023 Maverick Hybrid Lariat Lux Oxford White w/ BAP + CP360 Assist + Moonroof. The short version of the origin story is that I had been looking for a new vehicle for over a year, and eventually got around to investigating the Maverick and went from a position of first interest and research on June 28, 2023 to a local test drive on July 1, 2023 to a no-markup sticker price purchase and pickup on July 15, 2023 and half day of flights with a 7+ hour drive home in it.

Looks awesome! How are you liking the ride with the springs? I've got an appointment to put mine on but feeling a little hesitant to modify my brand new truck

Some folks say that it's the same as stock and you can't tell the difference, but that has not been my experience. I really like them, 0 regret. They do add some bounciness to it, especially on the highway at speed when going over a bridge transition or similar, you get a pretty good launch. On wavy roads, it will be more pronounced as well. My neighborhood is brand new and the road has a single asphalt layer, waiting for the final one, and there is a drop of about 1.5" at the beginning of the road. Going down is no problem. But you gotta go slow going up, otherwise you feel like you are going to break something.

It feels like it's lowered, and it's worth it. I'd only suggest against it if you plan on detouring off the road. I'm shooting for a high-mpg asphalt cruiser, so they work great for me.

This is going to be interesting... The white '23 Maverick you bought was the one I ordered in September of '22. The build date was always in question as seen throughout this blog. Since it was a hybrid I was really concerned when and if it was going to be built. So I did what you did and explored the internet for reasonably price trucks on the lot. Sticking to my desire for a hybrid -- I found and declined at least a dozen offers way, way over MSRP. Just before Christmas of '22, I found a First Edition '22 that finally was built in November of '22 (about a year late..) and just delivered to an Ohio dealership - - which I had worked with on a couple "almosts" sales along the way. Short version was the original customer for the First Edition had given up on the deal and so did a second buyer just weeks before it hit the dealership. Since I was in the loop at the dealership, they contacted me and we worked out a great price for my trade in and the 1st Ed was mine. Ok, it was still above MSRP but it was in hand and had the '22 pricing! I had bought from my home town Ford dealer over the years where I had ordered the white BAP that you bought. They indicated they had no problem with my anxiousness to get a Maverick at another dealership. They would find a buyer quickly for the white '23 - - and yes, sell at MSRP. As you noted you purchased it in July - - about 6 months after I bought my 1st Ed. Tonight I was catching up on past issues of the MTC and saw your build. Like I said.... this was going to be interesting.
