  1. Ford to suspend / cut production at 8 factories due to chip shortage (Hermosillo not included)

    Curious that they mentioned specific models but didn't include the Maverick. (F-150, Bronco, Explorer, Ranger, Mustang Mach E, Lincoln Aviator.) Anyway, I thought Ford had partnered with Global Foundries, a US chip manufacturer, so this kind of thing wouldn't happen...
  2. Production email suddenly missing.

    A day after I ordered my Maverick, I got a confirmation e-mail from Ford. I forwarded it to a friend when telling him of my order. A few days later, I went to look at that confirmation e-mail from Ford and it was nowhere to be found... no longer in my IN box or in my DELETED ITEMS box. I...
  3. What do you like LEAST about the Maverick?

    Someone already makes a device that will remember and default to your auto stop-start setting. Maybe they will make one that will remember your drive mode setting... What I like least about the Maverick is that I have to wait so long to get one to find out what i really like least.
  4. Not so great gas mileage

    Here in the Northeast, "winter mix" gasoline is responsible for as much as a 10% penalty in MPG. I almost always buy my fuel at the same place in nearby VT (cheaper gas than NY) when I'm shopping and get pretty much the same MPG on the ride home. I can notice the drop in MPG when winter gets...
  5. How's Your Paint Holding Up ?

    I've often hear that modern automotive paints aren't what they used to be due to EPA regs and chemical restrictions. The newer, more environmentally-friendly paints don't seem to be nearly as durable as the old school stuff. I think the paint on my Subaru Forester is made of water, sugar, and...
  6. 2.0 MPG gas mileage tests (so far) and differences using 87 vs 92 octane

    Ford Maverick window sticker Information regarding fuel recommendations for the Maverick w/2.0 Ecoboost specifically warns against the ingredient in at least some octane boosters....
  7. Radio/music/infotainment question from clueless non-techie...

    Thank you! My latest iPod is recent (last year maybe?) and it definitely has Bluetooth capability. Cool!
  8. Does Maverick have auto start stop? Disable possible?

    I read (not sure if it's fact) that the auto/stop-start feature doesn't really provide a substantial MPG advantage in the real world, especially for more rural drivers. It was specifically designed to help manufacturers score better on the government's EPA MPG test course. That's important to...
  9. Radio/music/infotainment question from clueless non-techie...

    I've never owned a mobile phone. I do have an iPod Touch though. Can I use it to play my music in the Maverick via Bluetooth or cord connection?
  10. Are you going to jump ship if Subaru presents a new version of Baja in 2023?

    I dearly love my 2009 Forester and wanted to buy a new one, but I tow a boat (approx 2K lbs. total w/trailer). No CVT for me!
  11. New York Mavericks!!

    I got my Area 51 XLT w/4K tow package ordered just under the wire on Jan 26. I suppose I'll be watching this thread with envy until this fall... I still haven't seen a Maverick on the road.
  12. $3,000 OFF - DEAL CLOSED - Fight OFF the Price Increase with Granger Ford

    Thanks to the folks at Granger! My XLT order was confirmed by Ford today. :)(y)
  13. Do dealers not like to take orders?

    That's my next step, obviously. But with the COVID numbers going crazy around here and the dealership being 25 miles away, I thought something as simple as ordering could be done easily on line, especially considering there would be no haggling on the MSRP....
  14. Do dealers not like to take orders?

    EcoBoost XLT with only the tow package as an option.
  15. Do dealers not like to take orders?

    I went to the Ford webpages and built a Maverick. It was sent to my local dealer. They responded with an e-mail asking for more info. I answered it. They said they'd get back to me soon. After waiting two weeks with no further contact from that dealer, I cleared the Ford cookies on my...
