  1. Maverick down, I repeat MAVERICK XL HYBRID DOWN! ($15k in airbags, $15k in body and paint damage repair)

    Glad you're okay. A note to everyone: BUY A DASHCAM! It can make a big difference in proving fault in an accident, or even proving to the court that a light wasn't red when you entered the intersection. And be careful out there!
  2. Wheel Spacers fitment with 245/65/17 tires and a 2" lift?

    Factory 225/65-17, lots of room to spare.
  3. Wheel Spacers fitment with 245/65/17 tires and a 2" lift?

    None at all, and I haven't lifted the truck. Standard FX4 height.
  4. What first accessory do you want for your Maverick (that doesn't exist)?

    I'd like to see a brush bumper for the Maverick. Convenient mounting is the issue, but might be possible if the mount placement was in lieu of the tow hooks, which then could be added to the brush guard at some location.
  5. What do you say to family, friends & co-workers that see you as a complete moron for putting up with this maverick debacle?

    Nobody has questioned my decision to order and wait, particularly because I, 1) expected the long wait, 2) refused to pay any ridiculous dealer markups, and 3) was quite happy with my 2019 Escape and treated the Maverick as a want-to-have and not a need-to-have from the get-go. Yeah, the 13...
  6. Has Ford kinda abandoned the whole FITS thing?

    It's a good marketing gimmick with the expectation that not only would DIY owners be able to craft and personalize certain aspects of the car, but it also opened the door further for the aftermarket. And I'm quite confident the general public isn't drawn to any vehicle simply by QR codes and...
  7. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    That 53 is one of my 87 y.o. dad's project trucks. Former PG&E truck. Flathead 6 backed by a 3-speed. He's got a 351C/C6 in the second garage he's thinking about installing. He's putting his 55 project on hold, maybe sell it.
  8. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    Good 3M adhesive, cut exactly to the shape of the grille face with no overhang of sticky material. Made with the same material as the tailgate lettering most everyone is adding. You should have 5-7 years, perhaps longer if the truck gets parked in a garage (something I don't have the luxury of...
  9. Who here is actually paying 5-10 grand over MSRP for these trucks... And Why?????

    It's a voluntary purchase. The price of things like gas, food, electricity... things we have no choice in... that's the effect of inflation. I bought my Maverick at MSRP. That another person would willingly pay more is not an inflationary value. It's voluntary (and a bit silly) value of the...
  10. The Maverick is an even better value

    Already got Cyber Orange 😁
  11. The Maverick is an even better value

    Sorry for the multiple posts. My phone is acting weird today. I've added new rear shocks and sway bar. Now that the weather isn't monsoon season I'll rebuild the entire front suspension and I'll start on the interior after I rewire literally everything. Engine is pretty mild; 302 w/ Edelbrock...
  12. The Maverick is an even better value

    As it is vs. my plan so far.

  14. The Maverick is an even better value

    Spending $30k on a new Maverick isn't a bad deal. Comparing it to my 68 Ranchero with an assumed purchase price of $3,000, that's $26k adjusted for inflation. Considering the myriad improvements to automobiles over the last 55 years, it's an outstanding value, IMHO. I'm looking at $14k by the...

    Dealer greed isn't inflation because it's a choice whether you want to support it. 😉
  16. My Maverick Identifies as a Ranger?

    A Maverick that identifies as a Ranger? It's TRANS-FENDERED!
