Paul, front and rear facing car seats fit in the back seat no problem. You will have plenty of room for all their gear under your tonneau. I bought a loaded Mav Lariat T and a Mav Lariat hybrid per this video. I love them so much I will probably drive them for years. This way I get max adventure...
It helps to see how the Maverick compares to other trucks. Here is a hard to find MegaRaptor costing approx $170,000. Only about 40 were produced last year.
CS,
Hybrids are more popular than EV vehicles so you have something people really want. If you pass, the dealer will probably mark it up $5-10k. First, look at what other XLs are selling for on AutoTrader and Car Gurus. I would not use Carmax because you will only get wholesale value. To get...
Jerry,
Yes with standard cruise, gravity can take you much faster than the setting. The hwy patrol at the bottom of the hill loves this!
ACC is standard on Mav Lariat trims as of the 2024MY.
Too steep of a descent will rev the engine too much. I wish the low button only dropped the gear one lower every time you pressed it. That would be like downshifting to control your speed with a manual trans.
Yes, but on a very steep grade, the RPMs will immediately increase and rev too high.
Regular cruise is not the solution to steep grades because it allows gravity to make the Mav go much faster then the set speed. You have to manually brake often.
For Lariat owners, the adaptive cruise keeps...
Great choice Shane! Look at it another way. You now have a 2.7 gallon larger fuel tank with the turbo so the range is not much different than the hybrid. At $4.00 per gallon, the extra cost for the 2.7 gallons is about $11. That is the cost of lunch for so much more capability in mud and snow...
This video shows engine braking with low gear. If the descent is too steep, the RPMs will be too high. Take it out of low gear and manually brake until the descent is not so bad.
Here is my video showing the capability of my turbo AWD on snow covered streets in Park City. Most snow videos I see are in flat areas so they cannot show how the Mav AWD performs from a full stop uphill on an unplowed street like this. Hope this helps!
