I really don't think that's going to happen. For one, the cab of the truck is part of the unibody structure. Making the bed longer and the cab shorter would make it more prone to twisting. For two, it wouldn't gain any new buyers. The whole point of the Maverick was to offer an affordable family...

Monday 6/21 - Went up to the dealership and told the salesman exactly what I wanted. It was close to closing time when we were finishing up, so he said he'd get the order built and send over some paperwork for me to sign. I gave him a check for the $500 deposit. Wednesday 6/23 - Check was...

As another reminder, the eCVT is only on the 2.5L Hybrid engine. The 2.0 EcoBoost engine gets an 8-speed automatic transmission. I'm not an insider at all, so I really don't know, but I'm hoping that the 3 week shutdown to retool the line is only applicable to the eCVT transmissions.

No. The 4K towing package includes a 3.81 axle ratio and a built in brake controller. If you're towing more than 1,500 pounds, you'll probably want to spend the extra $745 for that.

Can you please explain what this means? Thanks.

This is something I've been looking into for a few years now. I've never owned a truck, so I started by looking at the lightest travel trailers I could find. My requirements were: must have a toilet, must have enough beds (not improvisational beds) for 4 people. In searching, I came across the...

Line-X offers different colors of bedliner in their Linex-X Xtra products. Personally, I wouldn't use Line-X or any other aftermarket product on a truck with a full factory warranty. I'd be fine with ordering it from the factory that way.

I like that take on it. I'm 37, so I like the bucket list approach. It's my first pickup truck and my first newly developed car in its first year. I opted for the ecoboost, so it won't be my first hybrid. I never thought I'd buy a first year car from a new model. I've always felt that it was too...

Bought a gun cabinet (not a safe). I thought I could fit it into my kia forte with the back seats folded down for trunk access. It didn't fit. Even out of the box, it didn't fit. I had to lay it across the back seat and close both doors just enough to latch, but not turn off the open door...

I'm also a first time truck owner. I'm going with the drop-in bedliner. I like the look and the price of the drop in ones. And it's super easy to slide heavy things in and out on a hard bedliner. I hope there's some tailgate protection too, but who knows. I had never heard that the drop in...

You are correct that the Frontier, Colorado, and Canyon are not in the same class as the Maverick. Not only is the base price for each substantially more than that of the Maverick, they are all classified as mid-size trucks--in line with the Ranger rather than the Maverick.

The Honda Ridgeline is NOT direct competition with the Maverick. The Ridgeline has a base MSRP of $36,500. That puts it firmly in competition with the Crew Cab F-150 which has a base MSRP of $37,000 and literally tons more towing and payload capability.

Just put of curiosity, which salesman did you go through it Pundmann? I used Michael Howe, but Michael Pundmann's name was it the top of the order form. I went in last Monday evening to order it and they didn't have the order form ready for me to sign until Saturday. So I went up there Saturday...

With the tailgate down, yes.

Maybe F-18 or MIG-28?

I would've liked a slightly longer bed. Maybe 5 or 5.5 feet. As one person said, hauling a washer and drier together is a pretty common task for a light pickup truck. Also, I would've liked for them to put roof rails on the cab of it to accommodate longer things like canoes over the cab and...

Perhaps, but I see no reason they couldn't be utilized (either by Ford or some aftermarket company) for fog lights, especially if it a solid enough mounting point for tow hooks. You just couldn't have tow hooks AND fog lights.

A donut tire is better than no spare tire at all. And if donut tires are outlawed, manufacturers will just stop including them. You'll have to pay a few hundred dollars for a full size spare, if it's even an option. Donut tires aren't perfect, but if you use them the way they are intended, you...

They will be available sooner or later. The bumper has a place for them.

Nonsense. I'm buying mine for capability. With a bed for moving furniture or mulch or all of your stuff for a camping trip and the ability to tow up to 4k lbs, it's a huge step up from anything I've driven in the past. The next closest thing I've had was my 93 Explorer.
