I was researching for a new vehicle to replace my 2015 Subaru Forester and read about the upcoming Maverick. One of my requirements was it needed to be a Hybrid and carry 4 passengers comfortably and have room for hauling my sound equipment. Seeing the maverick and building one to my liking on...
Has to be some sort of gremlin as these new vehicles have no mechanical link from accelerator to throttle body. I will watch for that issue, could you shut off the ignition or did it end faster than you could turn it off?
I thought "Artificial Stupidity" was a great title and curiosity made me open it just to find out what was up. I have not had that issue yet but I have had a few occasions when answering a call that I could not hear the person on the other side but they could hear me. It happens much less now...
I wish my dealer would refund some of the hostage like money they took from me. I will never buy another vehicle from them but have no quarrels with the service department.
I agree with you there; I would have liked a more resilient material on the door panels as mine has many fingernail scratches from reaching for the door release and my watch will scratch it while going for the seatbelt.
I've got just under 14k on my 2023 and it was my daily driver until I picked up my 2023 Mach E which has taken over the daily job. Now my Mav performs most out of town or hauling jobs. I just ordered the Mabbett 3 light hood protecter that will cover all the sandstorm damage from back when it...
Nothing Bad happened to my XLT Lariat Lux. No new recalls, no breakdowns or accidents, no dead battery and not even a new door ding at the grocery store. Just plain nothing. Should I be worried?
I bought my 2023's manual off e-bay for $65 + tax. I have used the on-board manual that is somewhat intuitive, but I guess I'm too old school as I like the paper manual.
I loved my 1986 B2000 extended cab, was my alltime favorite truck until my 2023 Maverick. B2000 replaced my totally worn out 1977 Courier. Funny how the small truck world has evolved, first Mazda made their own trucks and Ford courier, then Ford made the Ranger and B series Mazda's and then both...
There are several truck tailgate kits that lower the tailgate softly and are easy to install if you watch the YouTube video. My Maverick's tailgate is very light and doesn't really need one, but I like the convenience of being able to just pull the release and let gravity take it over from...
I went out and tried it again and although it was almost imperceptible, at the point of most resistance there is a minute amount of flex just in front of the forward most hinge point. I did it a few more times and I could repeat it, it was a bit more pronounced if I pulled hood down off center...
Sorry to hear about your frustrating issue. My 2023 came without the spray in bed liner and the pacing cruise control. "I really miss adaptive cruise control" I bought an aftermarket Tri fold and my personal belief is that the majority of them are made by the same company with slightly different...
Crutchfield is a great company but not always spot on so read what others have done on their Mavericks. I myself have the B&O system and find it lacking for an upgraded stereo.
Did I get a special hood on my 2023 XLT Lariat? After reading this story I had to go out and try it to see if I missed something, I found no issues of flexing/bending, hood stays open as it should. I also tried slowly closing followed by fast closing with no signs of a problem. I retained the...
Not complaining much but I was disappointed with the B&O system in my Lariat Lux. The Harmon Kardon system in my Forester Touring had much better sound quality but the screen was lacking.
I'd go for the free buff out and then reconsider your next action. I suspect a fairly good amount will buff out and look substantially better, but it looks like the scratches are deep in a few spots and of course that won't get better. That area is a bit odd when new so dent may not show to bad...
If it makes you feel any better, when my 23 Lariat Lux and I took a trip from N.M. to Sacramento CA. (starting mileage was about 1K) I was just N. W. of Barstow CA. and I got caught in a brief but zero vis dust storm at 65mph. By the time I slowed down it was over and kept driving. Ten miles or...
I purchased the one that is similar to an umbrella from Amazon and have been using it in the desert southwest (where the sun destroys everything) for over a year. It cost about ten bucks and closes to the size of a small umbrella, it fits nicely into a small nylon pouch that fits in the console...
