  1. What was the first thing you bought for your Maverick?

    Besides filling the gas tank, a soft tonneau cover from Amazon. Have added a couple of interior organizers and a jump pack I got at Costco. That’s about it (2023 Lariat hybrid).
  2. Tailgate bumper fell off

    This happened to me (left side) and finally the part just disappeared. I keep meaning to ping the dealer about it but haven’t done it yet.
  3. Dec 29 Best $150 amazon Maverick soft truck bed cover?

    We have had a 2023 for 13 months now. I put a MaxMate soft cover on it immediately. We have no garage and live just south of Seattle, yet took a couple of road trips to the Southwest this summer which included 80+ mph freeway stretches. The cover has been just fine with virtually no leaks. I’m...
  4. Which one are you?

    I’m most like A on road trips like we are on now. If we are staying local I will fill it a little sooner. Got to about 35 miles estimated range remaining last night and again this evening. I always fill it up when I do put fuel in. I’ve been keeping gas mileage and maintenance logs since my...
  5. the Ford Maverick is the worst auto deal right now?? whaaaaat???

    The article is just a list of vehicles that are generally being sold at greater than MSRP. Should be no surprise to anyone here.
  6. Hybrid +12V Battery Replacement

    Update since my December 17th post. We took the Maverick on a short road trip in late January (2 1/2 hours each way) and it had not been driven since January 27th until earlier today. I got the first "deep sleep" message from FordPass on February 5th and just let it sit after verifying it...
  7. Had to post this, but counter a statement

    I'm 68. There is a Maverick and a Kia Soul (EV) in the driveway. I also paid cash for the Maverick (though that's a first for me). I'm glad I don't watch many commercials these days (including the annoying video ads on this forum).
  8. quick notes on the sub 200 amazon soft rolling tonneaus

    Well....considering I've only had it for a few weeks, all is well. We've had quite a bit more rain, and taken the Mav on one little trip in the last couple of weeks. I just looked in the bed and it's pretty dry in there. So...so far, so good.
  9. Hybrid +12V Battery Replacement

    Some added info. Our Lariat had been sitting un-driven for nearly two weeks when I noticed the dome lights not coming on (which eventually led me to finding this thread). Yesterday evening I checked the voltage at the jump points: 11.95V. Today we drove it to church (about 7 miles) and had dome...
  10. Hybrid +12V Battery Replacement

    I've read (some skimming) through this thread as my new 2023 Lariat Lux hybrid (about a month in our driveway now, 935 miles) didn't turn on the dome lights when I opened the doors yesterday. They come on if I switch them on with the button. It hasn't been driven in at least a week. I will...
  11. I LOST MY SOUL

    Our other car is a 2016 Soul EV. We love it and it is our around-town do almost everything vehicle. It can be seen next to the Mav in my avatar picture.
  12. The first 5 things I bought for my Maverick

    Well, since I haven't actually used them, I can't say for sure. This is what I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BR8UAO?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 They are similar to the ones I've used on the Mazda (which was traded in on the Maverick) but not quite the same. That set served me...
  13. The first 5 things I bought for my Maverick

    Five purchased items: Tire chains (going to a concert in a couple of weeks, snow encounter is likely) Spare batteries for keyfobs to keep in vehicle Items I saw recommended here: Glovebox organizer insert MaxMate rollup tonneau cover Console organizer Also, stuff moved over from the car it...
  14. Maverick shortage is over?

    I had lunch with some former colleagues up in Renton and swung by Bowen Scarff on the way back home this afternoon. I cruised the lots in front of the dealership (both retail and fleet lots) and saw zero Mavericks. There were three (or more) Mach-Es, two Lightinings and three Rangers, as well as...
  15. Maverick shortage is over?

    I should go up the road and drop in on Bowen Scarff and see what’s actually there. They took a bunch of orders while the order banks were open for 2023s and when they wouldn’t take mine I went a little south and ordered from Way Scarrf in Auburn. We got our Lariat hybrid about three weeks ago...
  16. Big MPG shift

    All the discussion about various warming strategies notwithstanding, if you are running it for 15 minutes in your driveway you are getting zero miles per gallon for 15 minutes. Of course that’s going to lower your average mileage. I very much remember jockeying a manual choke on Mazda rotaries...
  17. ARE vs. SnugTop/Leer cab height cap — opinions?

    So far all ARE, apparently. The windoors bed access aspect is worth thinking about. I was thinking screened sliders mainly for simplicity and perhaps making unauthorized access slightly more difficult. We have no pets anymore, so that is not a consideration. The main reason for a cap is dry...
  18. ARE vs. SnugTop/Leer cab height cap — opinions?

    We've had a Lariat hybrid for just over two weeks. We had pretty much planned to put a cap on it as we had them on the two prior little pickups we had (Mazda B2200, then B2600i). In looking about it appears there are two major choices: ARE and SnugTop/Leer. First of all, are there any "don''t...
  19. What's your Maverick hauling in the bed? [Photos Edition]

    Bunk bed set. First haul of any real weight in our just-received Lariat hybrid. There was also a stepladder in here on the leg between the bed pickup and home...but I didn't take a picture. This was taken just before the unload.
  20. A Camper Just For Us...

    That's a great list. Thank you!! Here's one more to add....though their site is down as I type this: heliovr.com These are small trailers made in Canada. I don't know if anything that Escape in Chilliwack BC makes is small enough to be on your list.
