Haha, he literally chopped the backend off the van and welded it behind the front seats. Brilliant!!

At the same time, my grandfather had a 70’s Datsun pickup, basically the same thing as the LUV, but it ran flawlessly until it finally died, at something like 20 years old and 150,000+ miles. Oh yeah, no rust holes in the floorboards either.

One of my grandfathers was a farmer on the Eastern Shore of VA. My dad bought a ‘78 Chevy LUV to drive around on his farm when I was 13, so that’s 1985. So the LUV was 7 or 8 at that time. It was a 4-speed manual. From a standstill you could floor the throttle, then pop the clutch and it...

In addition to the Hybrid constraint, XL and tow hitch are big constraints. I ordered an XLT Hybrid with tow hitch in Sep too, saw a video by test driven tv on youtube about the constraints and how if you modify your order to remove a constrained item AND add a surplus item, you have a better...

I agree with you. I know this is a free country, but it irritates me when I see someone saying they placed multiple orders for a Maverick, with the only intention of selling them for a profit when/if they arrive. Seems like the same type of person that filled their truck with toilet paper and...

$500 refundable deposit at Sheehy Ford in Richmond, VA. Like someone else here said, that deposit made me feel better about the order process.

Makes sense then, I’m curious how well a hybrid does in a colder climate like that.

Congrats on your new Maverick! Hoping to have mine within the next 8 weeks. So, why an engine block heater in TX?

How many points do they give you? Do they give the same amount of points for each Maverick or does it go up/down based on how much your truck costs?

Yeah, I watched a how-to video last night about installing the hitch and a 4-pin wiring harness. Its gonna take a lot longer than I was expecting. I’m more carpenter than mechanic but I think I can do it myself, its just gonna take an entire day and require me to do it laying on my garage floor...

Ditto

Which bug deflector is that? I want one but not sure I want the tape-on kind.

My salesman at Sheehy replied to my email today, basically asking the same stuff I put in the original post. He estimates it will take approximately 3 weeks to arrive from the factory once its built, which is supposed to be the week of May 8th. I asked how long I had to pick it up (thinking...

Hadn’t thought of that. I’ll bring some zip ties just in case. I emailed my salesman today and will see what his response is to the front plate question. And if they do put a dealer sticker on it, I’ll just peel it off when I get home.

I’m going to put a front plate on, but will either do the zip tie thing as shown in another post here or buy the Platypus mount. I just don’t want them to drill holes in my new truck.

Hi, just looking for any info from people that either placed an order for a Maverick through Sheehy Ford in Richmond, VA or bought a Maverick off the lot from them. My background- placed an order for a MY 23 Maverick XLT Hybrid in Sept 22, in March received a build date for the week of May 8...

I agree.

You won’t be disappointed with the CX-5. Like all the car magazines say, Mazda makes vehicles that are sporty and more fun to drive than their competitors. They also have beautiful interiors and are as reliable as Honda and Toyota. I’ve had 4 Mazdas and none have been unreliable. I currently...

Meant to post this in the general discussion forum, can a moderator move it?

I’m relatively new here but have been checking this site every few weeks since placing an order for a Hybrid Maverick on 17 September 2022. After seeing a video from Testdriventv.com in February, I decided to make changes to my original order in the hopes that I might actually get mine built. My...
