100 a pop. Great deal.

Solid choice. How much? Where’d you get em?

For 500 bucks (600 total with installation) you can get a decent set of 4 wheels from Discount Tire or Tire Rack. Mine look pretty amazing and some people think it’s an upper trim truck.

After my first 2,500 miles my hand-calculated average is 36 mpg. That is with about 75% tollway driving at speeds between 70-80 mph. Plus it’s ALL been during the coldest months of the year. At first I was upset that my average was below the estimate. But after reading all these posts I know...

Thats exactly why I put some nice aftermarket wheels on my XL. Honestly people think it’s a high-trim truck.

😂 I’ve done that a FEW times!

It’s funny…the Maverick is considered an inexpensive truck, yet I’ve gotten more comments on it than any other vehicle I’ve owned. Just today I got into a long chat with a cool war veteran who was disabled. He was really into the Maverick and was thinking of buying one. I’ve noticed this...

Don’t worry. You’ll see a big increase in mpg once the temp reaches 60 degrees or more. I see the temp on your display is 26 degrees. Yea, don’t listen to the naysayers or those who make you feel bad by saying “I get 65 mpg”. It’s BS. Just don’t focus too much on the variances in your mpg from...

I already made a full thread about adding tie-downs to the 2025 model: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/adding-bed-tie-downs-to-2025-xl-diy-instructions-writeup.60833/

Thanks for the info, everybody. I just assumed that since the defroster was on the same screen menu as the other 2 vents (dashboard and feet), that it was just 3 different ways of directing the air from the same source and with the same settings. Now I know that clicking the defrost one on top...

😂 “squirting black tears”

I asked my kids what they think. They said the new one looks modern, and the old one looks like a grandpa truck.

I’ve noticed the same. These Mavericks seem to have a mind of their own with regard to heat and AC. Even when it’s not on auto, the fan speed randomly changes. Also the AC itself randomly turns on and off, and so does the recirculate button. I’ve just accepted the fact that you can’t get around...

Defrost doesn’t use AC. It uses heat.

There have been some recent threads here about how the heater significantly drops mpg, even more than AC. In my fiddling around and experimenting with my new 2025, it seems that whenever the windshield defroster is on, the drop in mpg is the greatest. Even if you keep the fan speed and temp...

Before the 2025 models arrived at dealers and people starting buying them, I noticed a LOT of hate for the front end re-design. Myself included. I was not a fan. In fact I was eager to get the previous design since that was the original Maverick that I fell in love with. This new front-end, at...

One time I got -1.5 to the 120th power mpg when an alien abducted my Maverick and instantly transported me to Bangladesh.

A member posted a thread back in 2021 where he weighed a steel wheel without the tire and says it was 27.2 pounds on the scale. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/weight-of-maverick-stock-steelies-wheels-27-2-lbs-pounds.5007/ FYI, almost all aftermarket wheels that fit your...

It’s inaccurate. Mine jumps between 350 and 700 “miles to empty” on a full tank. I wish they didn’t even have that feature since it’s so wildly inaccurate. It only samples the last 500 miles driven. In my case I go on a long trip at 80 mph twice a month. When I fill up after these trips it says...

I agree with you about the front instrument cluster screen. Almost twice the total space as previous models, yet they seem to have REDUCED the amount of info shown. Plus you can’t keep the screen that you want continuously up. Not to mention the janky gas gauge with the needle pointer that skips...
