Like that Flash Gordon movie when they had to place their arm inside a tree trunk with a monster inside! Kinda like Russian roulette!

People will steal crap just to steal it, then toss it in the trash... those types don't care about the value, they're just doing it to cause someone else to have a bad day.

I'm curious if the bed storage cubby built into the rear passenger side of the bed locks or not? All of the videos show it twist to open and then the door isn't hinged, but is removed easily... I hope that it locks or I will be worried that without a locking bed cover these doors will disappear...

Here is a tire size calculator that can tell you exactly what the speedometer error will be between original and replacement size. Looks like for 1.5" increase in tire diameter the speedo will indicate 60mph when real speed is 63mph. You were very close!

How do you correct for speedometer error with larger tires? Can that be programmed in to the vehicle?

Hard to say, though the Santa Cruz was primarily designed in Hyundai’s California Studios. Sometimes if you are not certain of something, it’s better to be silent.

"Payload is the combined weight of all passengers and cargo" This applies to the Maverick as well. You cannot place 1500 pounds in the bed of the Maverick and expect to drive it anywhere as the driver would be the straw that breaks the camel's back by exceeding the rated payload capacity of the...

I understand that, but as others have pointed out, you could load 1500 pounds in the Maverick's bed, but you won't be able to drive it as it would exceed it's payload capacity as soon as you sit in the driver's seat. I've ordered a Maverick, FYI, but I'm not splitting hairs to find an advantage...

From their website listing specs for the Santa Cruz - payload is listed at 1,748-lb

Santa Cruz payload is 1748-lb, 248lb more than the Maverick.

I don’t think the transmission factory has switched to produce the new eCVT yet.

For a hybrid, it’s not how small the ICE is, but how efficient it is. The 1.5l has a turbo, which by its very nature is less efficient when under hard acceleration compared to a normally aspirated engine. In addition to being normally aspirated (no turbo) the 2.5l uses a slightly different...

The transmission part of it sounds like it should be much more reliable than a traditional 8 or 10 speed automatic as the eCVT has so very few parts to it. One, and the only drawback that I can see is that a backyard mechanic will probably not want to swap out the starter/generator motor as it...

I think you mean to say you ordered your truck on June 11. If your dealer has already sold you something that doesn't exist, then I think you got taken for a ride, and not in a Maverick. You may have signed an intent to purchase document, however. But that doesn't mean that you have bought the...

If it is as dark as a previous Ford I had with factory privacy glass, you won't be able to match the front door's tint to the back doors and rear windshield as in a lot of states it is illegal to tint beyond 30% black. Check your state's DMV for window tinting regulations for front doors.

Have a look at the closeup of the pic posted above. You can see the metallic flake in the paint.

A closeup of the Cyber Orange Metallic that shows the actual metallic flake in the paint. I think it looks pretty awesome! This is taken from a still frame from a YT channel featuring a Ranger Tremor in Cyber Orange.

I believe that the XLT and Lariat trims come with what Ford calls Privacy Glass - dark tinted rear door windows and the back windshield.

I think the Ford hybrid powertrain is 8 years/100,000 miles. One would almost be better off putting an extra $50 away each month for your own self-financed warranty once the factory warranties expire. In three years you would have $1800 stashed away. I have a 2014 Ford Fusion and I've had two...

It probably won't, usually the gas struts have a break over point before they will lift, but still something to consider, just to be safe.
