I have the 2025 Lariat with 19" wheels. The ride is much smoother than expected. No complaints and road noise is on the quiet side.

If it has an open bed and I can haul stuff in it, it's a truck to me. When I was kid, we referred to Broncos, Blazers, Surburbans, etc as trucks. They definitely weren't called cars and no one had ever heard of an SUV. Anyway, as someone mentioned earlier, it's all a marketing game.

I've owned pickups since I turned 16 back 1982. This is how I viewed truck size: Full size: 4x8 plywood lays flat between the wheel wells. Mid size: 4x8 plywood will fit on top off wheel wells with 24" or less hanging over closed tailgate. Compact: 4x8 plywood might fit but extends well beyond...

You might want to consider which truck as the larger gas tank. Before getting my Maverick, I drove full size Silverados for the past 30 years. I was always concerned with how many miles-per-tank I was getting. When I got down to a 1/4 tank, am I good for 50 mile or 100 miles. And where is the...

I did notice it. 🙂

Would this be an acceptable device for using Forscan? Amazon.com: Dell Latitude 3190 11.6" HD 2-in-1 Touchscreen Laptop Intel N5030 1.1Ghz 4GB Ram 128GB SSD Windows 11 Professional (Renewed) : Electronics

I was born in 1966. Here is why the Maverick appealed to me. My first vehicle was a Mazda SE5 (1984-85). Back then, this was considered a small truck vs standard or full size. It was sporty and fun to drive. Over the years I have witnessed trucks increase in size to the point where a small...

Here in the southeast, squirrels are about getting into things (boats, camper, cars, homes). They can devastate some wiring.

Correct. The seat back compartment I'm referring to is extra storage in addition to under seat storage. It was really convenient for things I use frequently, tie down straps and bungie cords.

Where I live, no such thing as a distant red light and there is always someone behind you. :( I'm happy when EV Coach gives me 85%

I downsized from a 2023 Silverado LTZ. It had some nice features that I wanted to duplicate in my Maverick. The Lariat got me about 90% of the way there. I've had my Lariat for about 4 weeks. So far, the main thing I miss most is the vented seats. Another thing I miss is the "rear seat...

FWIW Myself, my wife, and a friend who regularly rides with me, we all feel the seats on my Maverick are more comfortable than the seats on my previous 2023 Silverado. It was an LTZ with the leather seat package. The Maverick seats have softer padding. However, I do miss the vented seats on...

Assuming the savings is $0.40 per gallon 13.8 gal per tank x .4 = $5.52 savings on a FULL tank. Assuming you are not dead empty, maybe a gallon still in the tank. Now you're down to about a $5 savings. Assuming you can get 500 miles per tank and it takes 10 days to travel 500 miles. Over the...

I've had my 2025 Hybrid for 3 weeks. It's not going to when any races. But it has plenty of acceleration for my needs. I live in a large metro area and spend a fair amount of time on freeways. I have plenty of zip for merges and passing folks who insist on only doing 70 in the left lane. For...

It wasn’t any effort at all. It took about 20 minutes and it’s set-and-forget. I’ve had it for a few years and never had any problems with it.

I use a Meross WiFi adapter attached to my garage door opener. I got it specifically because it’s compatible with Home app. https://shop.meross.com/collections/smart-garage-door-opener/products/smart-wifi-garage-door-opener

It's the Home app on my iPhone.

What would this achieve that you can't do already via bluetooth and CarPlay?

I upgrade to iOS 26 today. CarPlay on the 13" screen is nice. :)

It is Apple's new naming convention across all of their os's. We now have MacOS 26, iOS 26. etc. Also, I updated to iOS 26 a few hours. I didn't spend spend much time with CarPlay because I was heading out to dinner. But so far, I'm liking what I see. The part I really got excited about was the...
