Thanks for the recommendation. I did use the clips provided by LOMAX but I agree they were not a good fit. I plan to replace them when I get home from vacation. I will post before and after pictures.
I put the LOMAX Stance on my 2025 Lariet. This is a significant upgrade from the Ford tri-fold soft cover I had on my 2022.
I ordered the weather seal but I have not installed it. The tailgate gap appears to be too large in few places and I was not sure how to install it for a good seal. It was...
Thanks for the pictures. I ordered this cover for my 2025 AWD Hybrid and your pictures helped me see how much it sticks above the cab when it is fully open.
I have the OEM soft trifold cover on my 2022 and wanted to upgrade to a hard cover on the 2025. With a bit of luck the truck and the cover...
I have not gotten a delay notice but my truck moved into production on 1/7 and has not been built yet. I expected it to take a week. Now I’m wanting for a delay notice. Hybrid, AWD, Lariat deluxe with sliding roof.
I live in Colorado and the performance of the factory tires on my 2022 FWD Hybrid was unacceptable in the mountains. As you described it was a particular issue getting started on an incline with any snow or ice. I have driven FWD in snow all my life so I was surprised how bad it was even with...
2001 Ford Ranger. I waited over 20 years for them to build a pickup that was the right size for me. I load my bikes, my kayak, and occasional yard or two of mulch or yard waste.
i was surprised how much I was able to sell the Ranger for.
I was dragging my feet and fighting to get a response from the dealer when I did my build on-line. I went in person this week and signed my order in person. I love my Area 51 2022 first addition Hybrid but the 2025 checked the following boxes:
AWD Hybrid

My Maverick replaced a 2001 Ranger. The size in the garage (footprint) is very similar. The Maverick bed is smaller but I gained significant cab space going from a jump seat to a four door.
Of course I also upgraded from a base XLT with steel wheels, manual widows, etc. to a Hybrid Lariet delux...
I have driven with FWD in snow for 30+ years and never had problems. However, the stock tires on my FWD Maverick were not good on snow/ice so I bought Blizzak snow tires and the improvement was dramatic.
I read a number of threads on this forum before I decided the winter tires would help and...
I have always kept my vehicles for a long time, my 2001 Ranger lasted until they released the Maverick. However, given the number of alternatives that are now on the horizon I am going to keep an open mind about getting something that checks more boxes for me in the future.
Plug in Hybrid with...
Installed the mirror yesterday in just over an hour not counting 30 minutes of you tube research.
I am very happy with the results, I have always wanted a garage door opener built into the car. You would think a First addition Lariat would have included this option but in the end I enjoy making...
On a weekend road trip my Mav got hit by a rock at the top of the windshield dead center above the rear view mirror. Safelite needed to order the special acoustic windshield with wiper heaters, about a month so far. Fortunately my wife insisted I buy the road hazard warranty after she heard the...
I was focusing on the end of the poll question ".. kept you from driving your Maverick as needed" which I have personally experienced. I agree if the focus is "reliability" then yes my Maverick has been very reliable. I have never hesitated to take it on road trips and it only refused to start...
I am not sure why some people say "no problems other than recalls". Given that when I have to take my car to the dealer "I can't use It", why wouldn't that count as a yes. Particularly when it took more than one trip to the dealer to resolve the airbag recall. Maintenace (Oil changes) and...
Thanks for sharing your story. I thought it was interesting that I had the same black hole frustration with my truck's time in rail yard purgatory in CO. The rail yard even reported to Ford that the truck was delivered to the dealer 2 weeks before it showed up on their lot (5 miles from the rail...
