My sources have indicated it's a maverick style vehicle, in the sense that this EV will be a small, relatively affordable truck. But details are vague if it'll actually be a maverick or not, or just maverick adjacent that has its own unique styling and characteristics.
Ford has filed parents...
So I'm not experiencing CV axle issues, let me just get that out of the way. But for people who've experienced it, had noticable is it? Is the vibration on par with like the shudder issues we used to see? More violent than that? Less violent than that?
Just trying to get a baseline. Beyond the...
I know a lot of us complain about certain short comings with the maverick, the noisy interior, all the recalls, etc. I've done it myself quite a bit. But there are vehicles you drive, that make you say "The maverick is actually a damm great vehicle for what it is". Vehicles that are so bad, they...
And why is it Utah? I swear, I've driven in half the country, I've yet to see drivers anywhere near as bad as Utah. Constant speeding, massive road rage issues, oh, and good luck changing lanes. You try signaling here, there's about an 80% chance these morons will think you're personally...
I've been thinking about this for months now. Car enthusiasts are always thinking about what comes next. I have the maverick, that's my go to, does everything car. It's comfortable, reliable, fuel efficient, can haul whatever I need, etc.
But I'm thinking of what car to park alongside it. As...
So our 2022 xlt has been virtually flawless up until this point. The only software recalls we've done were to address the shudder, and the touchy brakes. Can we get a thread of what recalls are worth getting done, and which ones cause more issues than they're worth?
Our hybrid did that shudder...
So I've heard the CV axle components on the maverick tremor are more robust and much less likely to fail than the conventional CV axles on the maverick hybrid and Ecoboost. I don't know how common that failure seems to be in the first place, but it seems to pop up on the forums quite a bit...
I'm just having doubts lately. To put it into perspective, our maverick hybrid has been great for the last 18 months/10k miles, we love it. It's been flawless aside from some touchy brakes, and it doing the hybrid shudder a few times, both issues which have seemed to go away permanently after...
We're looking at moving to Phoenix in the coming months. For people who live in the Phoenix area, or nearby, how are your Maverick's holding up? We currently live just south of Salt lake, while Utah has more temperature variances than Arizona, it doesn't get as hot here, maybe 100-105 in the...
I know I would, probably to go alongside our hybrid. This is Ford's affordable electric vehicle platform, internally called CE1, created by a very talented team of ex apple and Tesla engineers. It's apparently going to be used for an electric maverick and bronco sport, likely other vehicles as...
So we went to attend this auto show in Utah today, and as I was pulling out of the parking lot, the transmission not in park alarm was going nuts, and I was like "Ah great, please don't be some sort of electrical issue" or I was wondering if the transmission was having some sort of issue and it...
I just wanted to say thank you to this little truck. I think we can all agree the maverick has made our lives better in one form or another, but I can honestly say this is the first car I've ever been in that gave me a sense of closure.
Thanks to it's dependability and efficiency, I was able to...
Real footage of all of us trying to get in our mavericks after eating Thanksgiving dinner. Perhaps if the maverick was twenty or thirty feet longer, this wouldn't be an issue. Shame on Ford for not thinking this through.
Just some things I've heard detractors say about the maverick over the course of our ownership experience.
1. It's a focus based truck. Not really, it's based on a more capable and rugged version of the c2 architecture. It resembles more of a bronco sport pickup than a focus pickup.
2. It's...
So we had a spray in bed liner added basically since day one, and have loved it so far. But there are a few areas where the spray in bed liner, and area 51 paint have been scraped off in the bed, so it's bare metal. We believe this was from this big box TV we were getting rid of. It was pretty...

It's pretty obvious, at least to me, the owner is taking the piss, and making fun of over the top large truck drivers. Love to see things like this, need more of it in the world.
Holy crap, the brakes in the hybrid are actually pretty smooth now, and the shudder is gone. I hope this is a permanent improvement, night and day difference my friends.
So, we've had our maverick hybrid for just over a year, and have loved it so far. But, we have occasionally been frustrated with the touching brakes, and concerned with the shudder. I've heard the shudder isn't damaging the components when it does that, but it's still something I'd like to...
There are days where you wake up, and choose to be a chaotic force in the universe, today is one of those days. The rotary dial in the maverick is great design that clears up space, conveys the modern feeling of the vehicle, and forces the vehicle's operator to make sure they know what gear...
So to the maverick owners out there who've had the dashboard rattle come up, you'll know it's one of those things that's not a major issue, but it's still annoying. It's recently become more pronounced on our maverick, I know there's a TSB for this, is it worth doing for people who've done it...
