  1. Maverick Tops MotorTrend's 2023 Best Small & Mid-Sized Trucks to Buy

    ā€˜22 XL EB, 6’2ā€ & 205lb. The front seats of the Mav are the second most comfortable seats in any car I’ve owned (first being the ā€˜02 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Coupe I owned in college). Taken it on two 5-hour trips, drive it 50 miles every day. If I was going to be driving 12+ hours, I might invest...
  2. In what ways has your Maverick EXCEEDED expectations?

    Power Turbo 4-banger go brrrrrrrr-PSHH-brrrrrr….
  3. Look out Maverick here comes the Bug Truck

    So much hate on this thing, but I un-ironically love this. It’s not something I would put my time and money into, but huge props to the person who did. The amount of work that went into designing this thing to look nearly factory-stock is truly impressive. I love these weird car/truck...
  4. My truck finally got here but I'm super disappointed!

    Hey, some of us really like having that roof open on a nice day. I’ve got an EB XL with literally the only option being a moonroof. It’s actually nice getting an inexpensive vehicle where I didn’t have to spring for $4k worth of options I don’t need or care about to get that little window in the...
  5. Only 1 week old... and this happened

    OUCH! Sorry to see this. That’s a real bummer. I had a Mazda3 for years, and on its first vacationing voyage the first year we owned it, an SUV hit it and ran while it was parked. Left a huge dent in the rear driver-side quarter panel. I was so mad. In the meantime, while you wait, you can...
  6. Guess I was lucky?

    No hate at all, welcome to the club! Congrats!
  7. Not as popular as we thought?

    I’ve had a few strangers ask me about it since I’ve owned it, and I’ve also had plenty of co-workers and acquaintances ask me about it too. I think it would be easy for someone to look at a Maverick and, not knowing what it is, think ā€œhuh, that’s a funky little truckā€ and not think any more of...
  8. šŸ¤ List of honest dealerships for Ford Maverick buyers

    Seconded. Worked with Jay at Town & Country Ford in Bessemer. Ordered September 2021 with no deposit and never got a single update from Ford until it arrived March 30, 2022 - as much to the surprise of the dealer as it was to mine - and Jay called me to let me know.Saw it that night, picked it...
  9. Come on now? 38k base xl?

    I have a base XL Ecoboost with 15k miles - it even has a moonroof! To whatever poor sap — I mean, lucky soul — is willing to drop 38k on this, I’ll be willing be let mine go for the low price of 37k. DM if interested! :ROFLMAO:;) Honestly though - why? Just a cursory search of CarMax brought...
  10. Watching the Northern Lights with my Maverick šŸŒ’

    As Jalopnik would have titled this post back when it was actually fun to read: ā€œYour Ridiculously Awesome Ford Maverick Wallpaper Is Hereā€
  11. Which paint colour hides chips the best?

    Probably silver/gray. But it’s a truck! Why you want to hide those glorious battle scars? ;)
  12. Road Trip: Oak Ridge, TN to Destin, FL -- 21 hours, 1108 miles, 29.6 MPG

    Nice! Seems to be pretty much dead on with what I get in my XL - 15.5k miles total, about a 60/30/10 mix of interstate/country road/stop & go traffic. I check my mileage on every tank and I typically get 28 on the low end and 31 on the very high. Ultimately I’m extremely pleased with the...
  13. What did you drive before the Maverick?

    2011 Fusion Actually ended up selling it to a friend of mine on the cheap because her son needed a car to start college. It only had about 85K on the odometer and should serve him well for years to come Before that, 2012 Honda Accord: Hands down the worst car I’ve ever owned. Bought it used...
  14. Have a Maverick on Order, decided to borrow one on Turo to see what I think. It wasn't what I hoped it would be

    Sorry you didn’t really enjoy your time with the Maverick - can’t do much about a vehicle you don’t find comfortable to drive. With that said, I feel like something is off about an EcoBoost that 1. Makes noise, and 2. Feels sluggish. Even in FWD configuration, mine feels properly quick, or at...
  15. Jalopnik Review: The 2023 Ford Maverick XL Proves That Sometimes, Base Is Best

    Well, it was a superficial review at best and inaccurate in some details, but… It was a Jalopnik article written less than 8 years ago that I actually read to the end and largely agreed with, so… Good on them, I guess?:LOL: I can totally understand why someone would go for a higher trim, but...
  16. My dealer claims there's a recall on my Maverick and he can't sell it

    Man, this thread… I really hate this happened to the OP. This would be totally unacceptable in pretty much every other industry and why this keeps happening in the automotive industry is beyond me. There needs to be some sort of mutually beneficial overhaul to the dealership system to keep...
  17. Doug DeMuro reviews the 2023 Maverick Tremor.

    From the video, he’s driving an XLT Tremor and the blue/charcoal/onyx black color scheme is identical to the base XL, but the seats are different (textured gray with orange stitching instead of the XL’s black seats). I notice that the Tremor XLT has the larger cluster screen that’s typically...
  18. Doug DeMuro reviews the 2023 Maverick Tremor.

    I enjoyed it. Haven’t driven a Tremor, but I’ve largely agreed with his assessment of the Maverick thus far. Don’t know what he got wrong; if the interior is based on the BAP, then it looks virtually identical to my base XL, so he’s not really wrong there.
  19. Who had major issues and who didnt (poll)

    Had a fairly minor one... Except it kinda turned into a major one. Rear passenger window switch went dead and held the window in the "down" position. Not a big deal, just get it fixed under warranty, right?... ... Wrong. I had to wait A MONTH for the switch to come in, all the while driving...
