  1. Tire Chains.

    Quick update on the Alpha Trax tire chains. Even with all the snow I dealt with up in the mountains, I never had to use chains. My 23 XL Hybrid did just fine in moderate snow conditions with the factory tires and sensible driving. I almost put the Alpha Trax on once, just to see how they ran...
  2. Maverick Monday Episode 9: 2025 Ford Maverick - Big Improvements Expected

    So, for the 2026 Ford Maverick, my wish list in order of priority includes: 1. AWD PHEV 2. Reconfigured Rear Seat* 3. Parking Sensors, Rear 4. Parking Sensors, Front 5. Rain Sensing Wipers * The rear seat would flip forward against the back of the front seats. The rear seat back would fold...
  3. How to Save $$ Money $$ on Keys by Programming Yourself -- From a Locksmith and Owner :)

    No, I haven't tried that yet. I was going the local locksmith route. Good suggestion. I'll try that next and report back. Thanks
  4. How to Save $$ Money $$ on Keys by Programming Yourself -- From a Locksmith and Owner :)

    Has anyone found a locksmith in the San Jose, CA area that can cut Maverick keys? I've struck out so far. Problems ranged from not being able to cut the groove into the side of the keys (they can only cut the edges like a traditional key) to not having the 2023 Maverick XL codes to put into...
  5. Calling all that are happy with little to no issues!

    2023 XL Hybrid. Super happy with my truck. I've consistently averaged around 40 mpg including with ski racks, totally loaded bed etc. It drives well, is easy to park and is quite versatile in terms of cargo and passenger carrying capability. Taillight recall was serviced in my driveway by...
  6. Should you buy a Ford Maverick Bed Extender? (Owner Review Video)

    I had a bed extender on my 2006 Subaru Baja and used it often. So, I bought this aftermarket extender for my Maverick: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093GWYGH5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It has a more rectangular shape than the Ford extender. However, it doesn't...
  7. It's such a awesome vehicle - I don't understand any of the complaints.

    I'm with you Robert. I've had my '23 XL Hybrid for about six months and love it. I waited a year and a half for it and it was worth the wait. I was replacing a 2006 Subaru Baja. So, a larger bed, modern safety features and almost double the mileage are all welcome upgrades. I guess I'm...
  8. Tire Chains.

    I went ahead and got the AlphaTrax. I had a couple questions and their customer service was excellent. They fit well, are easy to install and weigh less than any other chains/cables I've used. Just hope they perform well, if/when needed. I'll post to this thread once I actually use them in...
  9. How to Save $$ Money $$ on Keys by Programming Yourself -- From a Locksmith and Owner :)

    That's great that both keys worked for you. I also have a '23 XL. So, I'm banking on the fact that since the Strattec 5923293 (Ford blank) plastic head key worked for you, the non-Ford branded plastic head key https://amzn.to/3HNZe5h recommended by Redneck Garage will work as well. My only...

    So, did you get the Alpha Trax? If so, how do you like the fit and performance?
