Speaking of seats...it would be nice to have the driver's and passenger's seats fold flat, down to the floor. Might have to take the headrest off and move the seat forward to line up with the back seat, but then you'd have a very basic (probably somewhat uncomfortable) platform to rest or even...
Correct, Ford did call their F-100 a Unibody, which at the time referenced the one-piece body and bed construction, not the chassis & frame setup. This has been covered in some magazines too like Vintage Truck. The old car dealer StreetSide Classics currently has an F-100 Unibody for sale...
Tonight with the rain storms here I was bored and asked ChatGPT to generate some views of a 2023 Ford Maverick in Cactus Gray (i.e. my avatar truck). The results were not accurate but kind of interesting especially the engine bay. What was that about a Maverick Super Duty?
Yes, thank you, I did purchase it Sunday evening, and also called Monday to verify Granger received it before the price increase. I don't remember the lady's name, but she mentioned Granger had gotten 200+ orders this past weekend, sounds like you all are keeping busy this week :)
Just purchased my warranty tonight, 10 year/100K/$100 deductible. Nothing like waiting till the last minute, LOL. Hopefully it goes in before the price increase, if not hoping @Granger Ford contacts me to discuss any pricing changes first. If all goes well this warranty will last well into my...
The new cap looks great! The ARE cap is my favorite of all the ones I've seen for the Maverick, a bit too much $ for me right now though. Every time I see this feel like an F-150 and a Flex had a baby.
It replaced my 2000 Ford Ranger, my first truck, which I owned for many years until it got stolen out of my driveway in 2023. Got it back, but it was damaged pretty bad so sold it to my mechanic for him to fix up and resell if he wanted (he did). I liked the looks of the Maverick when it first...
Nice story! Good to hear how someone is using their Mav as a practical part of their work day. Curious, how do you support your laptop when you're using it, especially when you're typing? The main photo kind of appears like it might be balanced on your legs - do you use any kind of small...
Got my 23 Ecoboost w/ 4K tow package in August 2023, after my 2000 Ranger was stolen, recovered, and beat up pretty bad from the thieves. No issues with the Maverick, other than the occasional love letter (recall) from Ford. Had the first turn signal fix done by the Ford tech in my driveway...
Our church replaced the pews with separate locking chairs about a year and a half ago, I got a short one. Sadly the longer ones (about 30 feet long) were junked; THAT would have been an interesting load in the Mav.
A few weeks later, Ford XP-38 owners find their repulsorlifts go bad if they retrofit bigger turbine fans and use a FORSCAN mod to raise hover height by a couple feet. Not to mention that confounded terrain scanner that keeps freezing up.
This is so awesome!! Love how you got the essence of the black trim along the bottom and back of the truck too.
Now to go with it, you need a Lego person at a Lego desk, perusing Maverick Truck Club with his Lego computer.
Did you see Jim Smoot told the story of Fantasy Coachworks a few months ago on the VINWiki channel on YouTube. YT has it marked as an age-restricted video, probably because of the "Fantasy Girls", but search for "vinwiki fantasy coachworks" and you should find it.
As far the truck, nice paint...
As is the rear Badge/Lettering.
I will have to "mask-off" the grille area and try to save the tailgate Badge. In my repaint..
OR... I may leave it AS IS...
Will post results.. :cool:

Wonder if you can find some raised tailgate lettering on Amazon for that one? LOL
Found one at Target tonight as well. Cost was $2.99, they only had the one. Interesting because they had multiples of the other Moving Parts models. So maybe collectors are buying up the Mavs or Matchbox is creating inventory shortages to give you the full experience. 😁
Also there's a...
Just found one of these too this weekend at a Target near me (STL area). Guess this is Hot Wheels version of Cyber Orange? For $1.19 still picked one up. Waiting for the Matchbox version to come out though.
