  1. 📣 1/13 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOW ARRIVING!]

    Well, all this waiting...sigh. No email as of 1218 CST. Ordered my Lariat Lux back on Aug 17th. Been driving our hand-me-down-from-mom '97 Camry that two of my three kids have driven at one time or another over the last 13 years . Because of the wait, I've had to drop some $$$ on some front...
  2. Straddling the Fence - Maverick/Ridgeline

    My last vehicle was an '06 Ridgeline w/216k miles that was totaled in a crash two years ago. I've been sitting on the insurance money ever since. I was planning on eventually buying another Ridgeline until I ran across the Maverick last summer. I'm going with the Maverick for several reasons...
  3. If Not Maverick What Vehicle Would You Have Bought?

    Would have either been a new or used Ridgeline. I was debating between going with a year or two-year old Ridgeline or springing for new one. A new one would have cost me about $8500 more than my Maverick hybrid Lariat (close to loaded since I wanted a couple of features in the Lux pkg that I...
  4. Ordered Hybrid XLT August 16. When will it arrive?

    I ordered mine on the 17th of August. Some hybrids ordered in early August showed up as scheduled in some posts last week. I'm guessing it will be mid-March to April.
  5. Scheduling impact of order change?

    I placed my original order for a Mav hybrid XLT on 8/17, but then revised it on 9/15 to a Lariat w/Lux pkg to get a few features that I wanted (primarily push button start and adaptive cruise control) for the long-term since I plan to keep this thing for at least a decade. Now that hybrids are...
  6. My reliability gamble - returning to Ford

    So, guys, I've been partial to Fords in earlier years. I inherited a '76 Maverick from my parents when I was 16, then bought an '86 Tempo new, inherited/"bought for a dollar" an '86 Taurus from my parents and had a '96 Windstar before ending up with a new 2006 Ridgeline whose untimely end in Jan...
  7. Removing Visor Stickers

    This reminds me of one of my all-time favorite message board tag lines I copied from someone's post, somewhere: I'm not saying we should kill all the stupid people. I'm saying remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out. :LOL:
  8. Lariat Lux Package includes HD Radio?

    HDradio.com One feature I use in my area is that a local AM radio station also has an HD channel on the FM side, so it's much clearer reception.
  9. Dave Ramsey hates Mavericks

    No, I am financing part of it, but I'll be putting down 30-40%. If I have a 0%, 3 year loan I would "invest" money in paying off the Maverick in less than 3 years. Guaranteed return with zero risk. I will be tied to the lender as long as I have a note, but I'll also have enough cushion to...
  10. Lariat Lux Package includes HD Radio?

    According to page 386 of the owner's manual vehicles with SYNC3 have HD radio.
  11. Dave Ramsey hates Mavericks

    Uhhh....I think I'd have to say the idea of not going into debt is garbage to be garbage. We've got college graduates lamenting their trillions of dollars in student loans and how it is crippling their ability to buy a car, a house or otherwise started in life. We have politicians wishing to...
  12. Maverick vs Tacoma sizes compared side-by-side

    What I could never get past in the Tacoma whenever I sat in one was the low front seat height relative to the floorboard - sort of like sitting in a recliner vs having your feet and legs elevated by the footrest. Just wasn't comfortable for me.
  13. What do you (will you) miss from your old vehicle in the Maverick?

    I'm buying the hybrid for the MPG, but I will miss the solid feel of the AWD in my '06 Ridgeline. Loved that vehicle even though there aren't a lot of times I ever need AWD in the mid-south. If there had been an AWD option for the hybrid, I all but certainly would have gotten it. Might even...
  14. HOT PEPPER RED Maverick Photos Thread

    Saw a HPR Ranger yesterday while out during a sunny day. I'm gonna like it. It's definitely not as close to a pure red as some pics (usually promo pics, but even some pics posted of HPRs on the lot) have seemed to indicate, but nor is it dull. It has just enough of a hint of orange in bright...
  15. Reason why Hybrid Maverick interest so high? [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    The combination of MPG and price and the fact that I don't want a big huge truck was the reason I ordered one.
  16. TN folks

    Landers Ford.
  17. Rival Dad with Honda Ridgeline

    I LOVED my '06 Ridgeline that met an untimely end due to "user error" back in January 2020. I'd be buying another one if the Maverick hadn't come along with the enticement of a lower price and the hybrid engine and its now estimated 42 city MPG. I drove Fords for the first 26 or so years of my...
  18. Ford Letter to Hybrid Order Holders -- nearly sold out for 2022 + free FITS Accessory Kit

    Got the email at 3pm Central. Hope getting this email also means I'll also be getting the VIN number/production email when my time comes.
  19. Maverick hybrids are close to SOLD OUT

    Even if Ford did underestimate demand for the hybrid, who knows what discussions went on behind the scenes? Someone may have won a major battle just to get the thing produced because the F-150 crowd didn't want anybody invading even the edges of their territory and money-making. As the owner...
  20. Ford financing question - loan to value ratio

    Somewhere in the small print of one of the Ford ads it mentions financing up to 110%. Check out one of the threads dealing with Maverick financing.
