  1. Why Are 2025 Lariats So Hard to Find?

    My local dealer has a 2025 XL in stock with no options except the $100 hitch and floor mats. $30k MSRP. My 2023 XL MSRP was about $23,800.
  2. Why Are 2025 Lariats So Hard to Find?

    I wouldn’t say they are hard to find in my area, but the stock is lopsided toward the 2024’s. My dealer is has two ‘25 Lariats in stock. And nine ‘24’s. All are EcoBoost.
  3. Loaded the Bike for the First Time — Loving This Truck More Every Day 🚴‍♂️

    That is a long bike. I’d have to lay down to reach the handlebars!
  4. Loaded the Bike for the First Time — Loving This Truck More Every Day 🚴‍♂️

    I only haul one bike so based on your two bike photo it won’t work for you. I use tie down straps, not any type of rack.
  5. Loaded the Bike for the First Time — Loving This Truck More Every Day 🚴‍♂️

    What make and model and frame size do you have? Is it electric?
  6. Loaded the Bike for the First Time — Loving This Truck More Every Day 🚴‍♂️

    Assuming you’re only hauling one bike, it will likely fit with the tailgate up if you put it diagonal and upright in the bed.
  7. Rear window seal looks terrible

    Thanks, I couldn’t figure it out and it was making me crazy. lol
  8. Rear window seal looks terrible

    I have a ‘23 XL. Mine looks about the same. Well tucked in, except for a few inches behind the passenger side head rest. I pressure wash my truck frequently, and I’m not aware of any leakage. By the way, “I’d rather be …”?
  9. Hello MTC

    You should regard the delivery date more like a guesstimate than an estimate. The rails and transport trucks are not under Ford’s direct control. In my case, my Maverick sat for a week unloaded in a rail yard parking lot about 20 miles from the dealer. It was waiting on a transport truck to...
  10. For $3.5k more would you get a new 25 over a used 23? (now a touchscreen HVAC control thread lol)

    I’m one of those who dislike the ‘25 front end and I dislike the loss of physical HVAC buttons. But for a $3,500 difference I’d get the 2025. Paying nearly new prices for a used vehicle just does not compute.
  11. Is The Maverick A Good Buy? Getting Cold Feet

    At the September 2022 Maverick XL price, there were not plenty of options. Not counting state sales tax, I was out the door for $24,000. At that price, my only other option (besides compact economy cars) was the EcoBoost, which I seriously considered. I wasn’t even looking for a pick up truck. I...
  12. Is The Maverick A Good Buy? Getting Cold Feet

    I’m delighted with my cheap 2023 XL. I wish I had bought two of them. At the 2025 Maverick prices, I might buy it again, but I would also would be considering other options. Do you like to keep your vehicles nice? If so, you probably won’t like the interior and exterior Maverick plastics. They...
  13. What products and process do you prefer for washing your truck?

    Congratulations on your great looking XL. I have a ‘23 XL in silver. I bought an under $200 2,000 PSI electric pressure washer and a high quality $60 foam cannon. First I foam the truck down, then gently wipe (don’t scrub) with a new never used wet microfiber towel (I use Costco’s, $20 for 36...
  14. Am i the only one on here that doesn’t like auto hold feature

    I don’t like it so I don’t use it. The hill start assist is worse, because unlike auto hold, it can’t be turned off. Until I had one of the recall updates, the hill start assist would activate even on the mildest of hills. When I would try to go, I could always feel the engine and...
  15. WAIT on Hybrid Battery drain update

    It was a reasonable suspicion. I’ll probably wait to update until they fix the fix. [edit typo]
  16. WAIT on Hybrid Battery drain update

    My ‘23 has the battery saver problem. It started after about three months after taking delivery. I always turn everything off including heat and air before turning the vehicle off. I put in a Die Hard Gold in the Fall of ‘23 and three months later it’s back to no dome lights and the power...
  17. Anyone experiencing cracks in the bed of the truck?

    My silver ‘23 shows no cracking at all. And the caulk-like filler material is more neatly applied. Since several in this thread report similar cracking, it seems to be in the range of normal. What I can’t get past is the white over spray on the tailgate striker plate (the post that the latch...
  18. Anyone experiencing cracks in the bed of the truck?

    Did you buy it new? It looks like it has had paint and body work done.
  19. Ordered vs. Buying Off The Lot

    These days buying off the lot is viable. When I ordered my ‘23 in September of ‘22, there was almost no stock on lots. When I ordered there was nothing to test drive at any of my local dealers. Like many here on MTC I ordered sight unseen. What little that was on lots was marked up thousands...
  20. 1 week 1st impressions - 2025 Hybrid Maverick

    Nice Maverick and welcome to MTC. I have a ‘23 XL that I like so much that I wish I had bought two of them at the 2023 price. Glad to hear they’re putting AGM batteries in the ‘25’s. I had to buy an aftermarket one at Wal-Mart to avoid the annoyance of battery saver mode.
