TOO MANY :p:p:p First would be trimming the wheel well pinch weld to fit bigger tires, if it’s necessary like the Bronco Sport. Second thinking of a bed rack system so I can have a 2 tier bed setup for off-road/camping. Third would be some mounts for additional lighting upfront.
THIS(y) Everyone hears CVT and thinks Nissan, and Subaru and while those two have their problems they’ve come a long way. I have a Outback with a CVT and it’s a great in-town driving experience, which is primarily what the Hybrid Maverick is designed for. However my main gripe with the CVT is...
What you’re seeing is the bumper cover, not the bumper itself. The cover is likely some form of ABS plastic, but I’m heavily interested to see what aftermarket companies may offer for different bumpers in the future.
I’ll likely go with credit union. Hard to beat 3% for 72 months when it comes to keeping a low monthly payment. They also have an annual Presidents Day sale with a local Ford dealer and they’ve dropped rates as low as 2.5% for 72 in the past for that. Which works well with the timeline I’m...
A few years back I shopping for a Fiesta ST with my X Plan and several dealers said they don't like to use it because they can get me a "better price" than the X Plan could, but then tack on mandatory add-ons and fees that instantly erase all savings they "created". I'd rather get a...
Especially with an AWD model you'll want the full size spare. There are some cases of extended use of a space saver destroying AWD drivetrains (Subaru especially), due to them being a slightly smaller diameter and people driving on them like they were a normal tire.
I'm in the east valley so my choices are Chapman, Earnhardt, San Tan, and Larry H Miller (Berge). I see Chapman in other markets is offering 3% under but I've never dealt with them before. My credit union works with San Tan but I don't know if that will give me much room to negotiate. Guess I'll...
If you qualify for any Ford's partner plans check out the their website. I only qualify for X and it's under $500 for most trims. The profit margins on these are going to be VERY low so don't expect very much. Ford will be making their money on high unit sales and options.
I’m inclined to buy one if I do pick up a Maverick because of how long I plan on keeping it. I don’t plan on owning it for less than 10 years. However I will say that I’ve had the worst reliability with Honda even if everyone holds them to a high standard. Civic Si Grenaded 4 a/c compressors in...
Not mine just one I found. Can’t wait to see something like this rolling around. Kind of mad we can’t get the aluminum “steelies” from the Bronco Sport Badlands
2011 Subaru Outback with 168k a worrying valve tick, and functioning but wholly inadequate a/c. It’s been a great car that I picked up used for under $10k 3 years ago and it’s done it’s job and never let me down, but even with the massive cargo area the utility just isn’t there. I’ve even taken...
No cruise on the XL is my biggest gripe. My 2016 XL F450 work truck has it. The FX4 not coming with the dual clutch rear from the Bronco Sport is a massive bummer but not entirely unexpected given the price.
I’m questioning the differences as well. Seems like the 4K package just adds a transmission cooler, brake controller and the 7 pin harness. The lead engineer in an interview with TFL Truck said that both the 4K and FX4 packages have the same final drive gearing of 3.81. TFL MAVERICK DEEP DIVE
Also, a lift kit will not allow you to run larger tires on a macpherson strut setup like the one on the Maverick. That is going to be entirely decided by the wheel well dimensions as well as the available distance between the coil perch on the strut assembly and the top of the tire. I believe 30...
1” inch ADF spacer lift with half inch overload springs from rallitek. Built a 2” rear subframe drop to accommodate the 2” taller tires and the 1.5” lift. I only did the 1” part of the lift because I got I second hand for $40. It’s nice to have the extra clearance, but it transfers way too much...
