Blacked out looks so good. I personally think it can make just about any vehicle look nice. Too bad itās so hard to keep clean. Iāve owned one completely black vehicle. Never againā¦lol
Since I bought my Maverick Iāve been looking at a small camper just because I can now tow one. Never was interested in one before. Iām going to be broke soonā¦..
My XLT FX4 with the Pirelliās is nice and quiet. I donāt know what your idea of noisy is, but my Maverick is quieter on the highway than my ā17 Escape SE was. My wife doesnāt have to raise her voice at all when she talks to me, so I donāt have to turn up the radio as much to drown it out. š
Theyāre not for everyone. I understand why they make some people uncomfortable. That being said, I have a carry permit, but only carry on rare occasions. I never leave one in the car though. Thatās just asking for bad things to happen if it got stolen. If you carry, carry it on you at all times...
Surprised how much of the styling mimics the Maverick. I like it. But Iām betting on a 45k price tag.
Btw, whatās the point of being able to clamp wood to the tailgate? Iāve worked in construction for 26 years and never once have I needed to do thatā¦.
Iām still getting used to it. I donāt hate it, but Iām not a huge fan of it either. I liked being able to rest my right hand on a traditional shifter in my other cars and trucks⦠Another note, muscle memory is gonna be a bit tricky because the rotary dial shifter doesnāt have stops before park...
The mornings here in central Wa. are getting pretty cold so I like to start the truck with the Pass app before I leave. Iāve noticed the truck wonāt warm past the first engine temp marker until I drive it for a few miles. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes.. Doesnāt seem to make much of a...
So the little Maverick on the info screen has fog lights when viewed from the front, but then when it zooms out and to the 3/4 view theyāre tow hooks⦠Weird right? Did Ford plan on including these lights but nixxed them later? Hmmā¦. Just thought Iād post these pics for discussion!
I did. Still a great value. š Seriously though.. These trucks are worth whatever youāre willing to pay. Early buyers like myself sometimes pay higher prices just to be the first kid on the block with the shiny new toy. BTW, mine is still the only one in my area. So yes, Iām special. š
Thatās ok OP, the guy who buys the truck you rejected will be happy with it. Your expectations were too high. I think your just used to a certain level of comfort and quality. That simple. Spending 40k on a 20k truck, no matter how you visioned it, will never be a Platinum F-150. And thatās ok...
