Had a new for $7000 1984 Ford Ranger with few options and a manual and the 4-banger. Knew nothing about towing/towing capacity and towed a 2000 lb+ boat all over Michigan and it did not work out well. Sold it at 30k miles.
Totally agree. For me and my lack of flexibility, it’s the left sidewall right under the dash drivers side and the inside ridge (not a “sill”?) that you need to lift your leg over getting in and out.
Agree. Especially the last few years in Michigan. There are literally only a handful of days every winter where you might want AWD unless you do a ton of backroad driving. FWD will get you through almost everything. An engineer guy told me that AWD is about “tracking” (does not help stability or...
I have pulled an 18 ft IO boat out of the water many dozens of times with my 1.6 liter FWD Escape shod with basic tires. Depending on the slope of the ramp, I think it’s overrated that you need AWD to pull a boat of of the water. A get off my lawn statement, but “back in the day” I pulled a...
I knew a guy that worked at Ford that had a Windstar and kept a large zip lock type bag to keep all the parts like bolts and things that fell of it. My dad bought only Ford but when he bought a new one he always went back to the dealer in a few days with a “punch list” of what was wrong it…that...
Hello MTC: have ‘24 Hybrid XLT. Getting OEM roll-up Tonneau ($495) and OEM Maverick heavy duty bed pad. Any opinions/reviews of these products? Appreciate any feedback.
(also…500 miles in and getting 32 MPG in Michigan in mixed city/freeway driving and I drive easy…is it still breaking in or is...
The eagle has landed. I picked up my 2024 MY (originally ordered as a MY 2023 in September 2022) Silver XLT Hybrid yesterday. Got the $3400 rebate/credit. Muroney was $30,680. Only options are moonroof, trailer hitch and floor mats. 60 miles in so far and looking for any reason to drive…son’s...
Thanks for the feedback. I started with a largely base 2023 Hybrid XL but am now at a 2024 XLT but only sunroof and hitch/floor mats as options. I believe once you start going up the ladder to Lariat w a good amount of options you lose the value proposition that originally interested me in a...
I was told by my dealer that you can’t get a sliding rear window in the 2024 (XLT Hybrid). I called a few auto glass places and they say there is no aftermarket window for 2024 Maverick. I am in SE Michigan - delivery expected mid-December 2023. Any feedback appreciated from Team Maverick.
Received the “built” update on Nov. 10. Per Ford, delivery Dec. 7-11. Is that expected?
Also, when does the “Muroney” (sticker) become available?
2024 Hybrid XLT only options: moonroof, floor mats and hitch.
Appreciate any feedback Team Maverick.
