It is because its cold outside. In cold weather, the engine needs to run... and run enough to get the coolant hot, to provide heat for the interior. If your drive is short, you essentially ran most of your drive under gas power with little to no miles driven under electric power. In...

So yesterday morning I was at my dealer for a alignment and had about a hour to kill. Walked around looking at trucks while I was there and they had one brand new 2025 maverick on the lot. And it was a base hybrid XL model. It was a total stripper, no options other than a bed extender...

I will admit, I have not " built " a 2025 maverick to see what all comes on the various trims and what they cost. It is very possible that in the 2025 models, the XL and or the XLT might come with most of the stuff that I personally would be happy with, without upgrading to a higher trim...

I think you nailed it. It's clearly a different kind of buyer that buys a maverick over the typical F150 or F250 buyer. It's funny to me and semi hard to relate to, because I am a F150/F250 buyer type of person, but I am also thrifty with my money and most always try to get the best bang...

Just a update, Dealer did put in a new front right side Strut and the noise is gone. Of course like usual, no one can seem to have pride in their work these days and they either didn't do a alignment afterwards ( the service advisor says they did... ) or if they did, the tech didn't bother...

It is a funny thing that on the forums and facebook pages there is so much " hate " for the lariats and highly optioned XLT mavericks. It is almost like there is a huge group that thinks anything over 20-25 grand on a maverick is stupid. But I don't see that same mentality with the F150 or...

If the resale thing isn't really a concern then I guess the argument is that a 40 grand loaded lariat is really not worth the 40 grand because it's just a 20 grand stripped down XL with a few extra buttons and features... And if that is the point people are making I can kind of see where they...

Seems like there has been an ongoing trend in maverick discussions that anything over a XL model is pointless and a big waste of money. I don't think it's a big secret that the higher end trims will lose more resale value than the lower spec models. But I think that holds true with all...

So the service advisor took the service dept manager for a ride in my truck so he could hear that noise and apparently they decided to replace the front passenger side strut. Part won't be to the dealership till Tuesday so I left the truck with them till its fixed. I see someone else...

2024 Maverick Lariat Hybrid... From day 1 when I took delivery of it new a little over a year ago, There has been a faint muted clunking or rattle coming from the front passenger side of my truck. It is only really heard when going at relatively slow speeds, mainly speeds below 25 mph, and...

Been shopping for a new Hybrid Toyota Corolla for my daughter this week.... Same argument could be made about those... Cheapest Corolla hybrid has a MSRP of around 23-24 grand. But if you go to the highest trim model with every option you can very easily go over 30 grand, and that is...

Don't have the time to read 8 pages of responses, but I will throw in my 2 cents... I am by no means " Rich " and work hard for what money I have, but I have made it to a point where I have paid off my mortgage several years ago, and all my vehicles are paid off, and I have no outstanding...

I am not saying you would be faulted by the police for being over weight. Matter of fact, I highly doubt... unless you were attempting to pull a 14,000 pound fifth wheel that would be extremely obviously over the trucks rating... They would even know you were 1000 pounds over the trucks...

So I will throw in my 2 cents as I have a hybrid and I have used it to tow multiple things. I have used mine to tow a 5x10 open aluminum triton trailer with folding rear ramp, with 3 dirtbikes on it. I have also used it to tow a large steel double jet ski trailer with two large 3 seat jet...

Something to consider with the AWD hybrid is you will now have several other parts to service and potentially repair over time. If they did it like the AWD systems on other Fords, there will be a PTU box on the back of the transmission to service, then you have the driveshaft to the rear end...

I don't have much to add here that hasn't been already said, but I will restate a few things... 1. In most cases, you can not file and get diminished value from your own insurance company. So if you were at fault and your insurance is paying to fix your vehicle through collision coverage...

Yes, what you would be seeking is called diminished value. You would be best served to google search for a expert in diminished value that works cases in Florida to handle this for you. They typically charge a flat fee to do this on your behalf, maybe 300-600 dollars. Trying to get...

It will come... Mine had the same issues. Went into production week of Oct 23rd then got stalled " in production ", then once it shipped it took about 3 weeks to get to me. I had expected to get the truck before thanksgiving and it didn't show up till last week.

I have a nice name brand pad that fits a full size truck. And honestly its a pain in the butt to use. Having to fish the straps under the tailgate and back up to the pad to secure it, it blocks the backup camera unless I pull down a little flap. So I got to looking for one narrow enough to...

Also, keep in mind, 2024 prices have gone up about $2500 over 2022 pricing on lariats and around $3500 more on the XLT's... When you go to order a 2025... Who knows what the pricing will be. Could be even more, or could be about the same as 2024's, highly doubt they will be lowering...
