Local Domino Pizza store has a black Maverick Hybrid XL zooming around doing deliveries. Its got their corporate red/white/blue motif on it...it really stands out against the black paint. As I await my Mav to get built & delivered, I wonder if those delivery jockeys realize what a rare vehicle...

Some of these reviewers are folks starting out in the industry while still driving mommy's hand-me-down 120K+ cars, as reviewing cars is not a highly-paid job. They get enamored testing new $60k-$100k vehicles and evaluate other vehicles against these higher-end vehicles while try to make a...

I'm thinking the Ram got its door(s) blown off by a Ford F-150 Hybrid or Lightning in a stoplight drag race!

Many October '21 orders are seeing actively recently. When you get a VIN and the initial build week its like Ford has rewarded us with a digital Participation Award. This worthless "ribbon" acknowledges that you have waited for many months while Ford decides just how the heck they are going...

Future Hybrid owner here. But I'm amazed no EcoBoost folks noticed the video states the 2023 Mavs drivetrains will remain the same but then has a text overlay that states a 280HP turbocharged engine (at approx 2:07 in video). Maybe its an error in the video, but this old gearhead noticed it...

I haven't gotten my Lariat Lux Pkg Maverick yet, but all pics I've seen of all delivered (and video or written reviews) Lariats have included the Michelin Primacy 225/60R18 tire. There's also a $795 optional black wheel pkg on the Lariat (access the Ford Build and Price website to see the...

Linked is to an 8/22 Car& Driver article that discusses the 2023 Santa Cruz. I know some folks have been considering a SC as well as the Mav. Prices increases are similar to what Ford did with the Maverick mid-summer, except the top-end Limited trim's increase is smaller. What we don't know...

I glad to see Nathan is buying a non-turbo SC for one reason: Hyundai has not ptovided non-turbo SCs to the media for testing. I'd imagine the TFL crew will compare Nathan's SC to a hybrid Maverick and we will see how the base engines compare. And not just real-world MPGs but 0-60MPH...

Just ended call with Ford Customer Service and my Mav build week has been pushed back again. Hilariously the rep stated his screen said this will be the final pushback (haven't heard any members mention that stat before). I'm happy to at least I have a VIN (2022 price protection & lower...

I read this entire thread and thought I'd link a Motor Trend article that discusses towing different weight trailers with a Lightning. As some have stated, the range pummels when towing. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/ford-f150-lightning-electric-truck-towing-test/ I'm just sticking my...

From what I've read here and elsewhere you cannot change drivetrain options or trim level options anymore on 2022s.

That's for the honest response on being a 2-person job. From enlarging your close-up pic it looks like you got it installed right. I really like it on your CO, and imagine it would look good on my HPR Mav, whenever I finally get it! Check out their website. They show a variety of designs for...

Is it worth 50% more...not really. But you have to ask yourself what options you need/want in your new vehicle and how long you're going to keep it. I'm getting a Lariat w/Lux Pkg that I plan to own for 10+ years so I'm willing to pay for the upgrades. Plus I'm nearing retirement so I feel...

I like that graphic as the Maverick lettering remains bold. How hard to install since its bigger? Do you still clear area with alcohol, then wet the area or decal before applying, etc? Do you still have a short time to adjust so its on straight? I ask because on their website they offer...

Sorry about that! I didn't realize Road&Track articles were behind a paywall. Tried to copy&paste it here but R&T prevents me from copying the article. I got a free subscription to R&T when the Autoweek magazine shut down. Otherwise personally I refuse to pay for access to any article on...

DarkStorny, I think you misread my statement and the article. Its a self-charging vehicle, not a self-driving vehicle. And like I said, this post and article is meant to be read with some tongue-in-cheek humor.

I placed this in the Hybrid sub-section of the MTC forums as I'm trying to avoid another Hybrid vs Ecoboost pissing-match thread. This thread is directed toward those that already feel the gas/battery powertrain is the better choice for their normal driving circumstances. And its meant to be...

Spoke to Ford Customer service yesterday and I now have a VIN and a build week of Sept 5th. Plus a delivery ETA of of 9/19~9/25. Based on all the delays others have experienced I'm not holding my breath with any of these dates but at least its progress from many months of "ordered but not...

I occasionally see a silver Lariat Hybrid parked near my local post office. First time I saw it I parked right behind it and took a few pics with my current 2009 Rav4 just so I could compare size, etc. Yesterday for a few seconds I noticed a dark-colored Mav going other way on a 2-lane...

Great pictures! Someday I hope to expeience the same, but lakeside at my northern Wisconsin retreat. Hoping my Mav gets scheduled soon.
