  1. Paint scratches too easily, very disappointed EDIT: it wasnt a scratch, but paint from the broom that cleaned off

    EDIT: it was NOT a scratch, yay! The broom left paint on the truck finish that I was able to remove with a rubber art eraser. Once I washed the truck I could see that the mark was raised, not indented in the finish. It took some elbow grease to remove, but came off cleanly. I did this...
  2. Anyone Just Taking What's on The Dealer Lots Instead of Ordering ?

    I used the ford.com inventory search to find nearby dealers with incoming inventory and called each to see if any were unclaimed. I scored an Eco XLT with FX4 and 4k tow, and they honored my X-plan price with no markup, with a signed purchase agreement. I found the vehicle in mid Dec and it...
  3. Ecoboost production date moved up two weeks (2/14)

    My XL with AWD/4K tow was moved up from 2/14 to 2/7. No other add ons.
  4. Well, that was fun while it lasted.

    My basic XL Eco with 4k tow was moved up from 2/14 to 2/7 this week. This sounds like constraints and/or Ford moving parts to higher profit vehicle production for many of you.
  5. Electric Screen in Mavericks

    You'll need to use the screen to set your radio preset stations but then you can use the steering wheel controls for volume and moving between the presets. Or the center console knobs and buttons. Like you I am more comfortable with analog interfaces. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the...
  6. Did anyone else get the e-mail today?

    I received an email that the XL I ordered in October was moved up a week, from 2/14 to 2/7. Not that it matters. I ended up buying an XLT that a customer declined last week. The dealer I ordered with wouldn't sign a purchase agreement for X-plan pricing, which was making me anxious about addons/adm.
  7. Has anyone upgraded their windshield wipers?

    I will be, because the ones it came with are awful in snow/cold. The top third of the driver side froze stiff while driving and wasn't touching/cleaning the windshield at the top of its arc.
  8. Weird ABS behavior in my AWD/FX4 first time driving it in the snow and using Slippery mode

    I was using Slippery on unplowed roads, 2-3 inches of powdery snow, when the ABS did its weird thing. It hasn't done it since I got the message on the console display about performance/diagnostic data monitoring being turned on. Since that message it has been handling very well. Better even...
  9. Saw Second Maverick in the Wild!

    I saw two yesterday, while driving mine around. I bet a bunch all came in via rail this past week, when mine also arrived. I expect to see more in the coming weeks.
  10. New owner review: AWD Ecoboost FX4 4K C360

    I am also getting used to the engine sounds and shifting, so my brain knows what's "normal" I always listen to my vehicle, for any problems.
  11. Weird ABS behavior in my AWD/FX4 first time driving it in the snow and using Slippery mode

    I've only had my XLT AWD / 4k tow / FX4 for a few days and today was my first chance to drive in the snow and use something other than Normal mode. I have just over 200 miles on the Mav. I was driving a mix of snow-covered (2-3 inches) country roads, gravel and paved. Max speed 50mph. After a...
  12. Maverick off the lot

    MSRP minus the X-plan discount, with no added ADM.
  13. Searching Ford Inventory..

    I ordered an XL with 4k tow back in October, which has a production date of 2/14. I tried twice to get a purchase agreement for MSRP/X-plan pricing on it, and that dealer wouldn't do it. I was getting bad vibes from them. So I started checking the Ford.com inventory on a weekly basis. I...
  14. Mav next to a VW

    Just got it yesterday. Smaller than I expected, but feels roomy inside and the bed should work for the kinds of things I will use it for. Quite a step down in size from the Silverado 2500 I recently sold. I'm not hauling horses anymore, so it was more than I needed, and had horrible mpg. It's...
  15. List the good guy Dealers that charged MRSP and no excessive prep-delivery fees

    I just bought an XLT - 4k tow - FX4 from North Brothers Ford in Westland MI at MSRP/X-plan price. It was not one I ordered. I found the XLT by searching Ford.com inventory about a month ago. North Brothers had several in-transit, and one was available after whoever ordered it declined it. I...
  16. Maverick off the lot

    I bought a Maverick yesterday that I found searching the Ford.com inventory about a month ago. It was an ordered vehicle that was declined, and enroute, so I just had to wait for it to arrive. The dealership honored MSRP/X-plan pricing. It's an upgrade from what I ordered [XLT-4k tow-FX4] vs...
  17. Thoughts on 1976 Maverick Stallion decal

    It would make for a flashy hood decal, haha! I had a '77 Comet, the Mercury version of the Maverick. So I have a fondness for the old style and brand. I was thinking of doing a decal of the horns logo. The only thing giving me pause is that it looks like a Tesla logo :sick:
  18. Is this considered a dealer markup?

    Yep, here's a link to the sticker (the link is buried on the page): Window Sticker (allamericanfordinpointpleasant.com) Screen capture of the pricing:
  19. 📸 New Tacoma Pickup Spied

    They are a common sight in the Detroit Metro area, especially this time of year, for all the manufacturers. It's fun to get a peek at what's coming. It looks like there were two trucks, I see Texas plates in some pictures and Michigan in others. Also different drivers. I just realized the...
  20. Detroit Metro Ford $1000 bonus cash question

    While at a dealership last night I asked about the above mentioned "bonus cash" and the sales guy said it isn't valid for Mavericks. The "fine print" in my screen shot doesn't mention Mavericks as being excluded, and the sales guy didn't look it up, so I don't 100% believe that. But since I...
