Replaced the Continentals on my XLT Hybrid with the Michelin CrossClimate2 tires at 1000 miles, have 9000 on the truck now and also love them. My mileage did not change at all. Handling, wet handling and quiet are superior. Had the same Continentals on my previous vehicle and hated them.
Ordered about 2 weeks after the Maverick ordering was opened, June 21, 2021. Arrived at Dealer April 11, 2022. That’s about 9-1/2 months. But since production didn’t start until late October 2021, the actual time was closer to 6 months. It was hard to be patient but these are unusual times. The...

I had the Continentals on my previous Subaru and hated them, so planned replacing as soon as I could after delivery of my Maverick. Put 1100 miles on the Continentals and replaced with the Michelin CrossClimate2. No difference in fuel economy at all, with superior ride, handling and quiet.
Took a six day road trip from Minnesota to Hannibal, MO on both sides of the Great River Road. Started with about 3300 miles (had dealer do first oil change the day before). Comfortable… best seats I’ve ever had, no back or leg aches after two to four hours of driving. Used the power lumbar on...
Nope. I’ve been wearing seatbelts since 1960 and this nanny drives me nuts! Sometimes it comes up twice before I drive away… and the first thing I do when I get in the vehicle is put my belt on.
If you have your heart set on a particular 2022 color it may affect your decision. There WILL be color changes in 2023, we just don’t know what they will be.
Waconia Ford, just west of Twin Cities has been selling at MSRP. Good reputation and Brian Hawkinson was a no pressure sales person. I did get my warranty through Grainger.
