I have 3/4 ton diesel when I need a big manly truck. I'll drive the Maverick when I need to compensate for other things.

I have not sold a car to Carmax, but I've been there twice when my brother did. The first time he sold a Miata that he had a loan on. I followed him to the dealer, they inspected the car, took it for a short test drive and made an offer. Took a few minutes for them to call the bank and get a...

I ordered a Maverick because of my work situation. I have a diesel truck because when I bought it, one of the perks of my job was free on road diesel. I rarely ever had to buy fuel for years. It is older now and has 400k miles on it. It has been a great daily driver for years. I generally...

Glad to hear you had a good dealer experience after so many posts of horror stories. Enjoy your new mav and post a picture or two.

I'm not saying that I would do this right away but down the road if they fade, I will paint them. I have an old work truck that the trim faded badly on. I tried a couple different products and they would look decent but didn't last very long and was hard to coat evenly. I bought some spray...

Just take the curvy way and vary your speeds and RPM. You will enjoy your new truck and the drive much more than a drone on the freeway. Might take an extra hour or two but that's just bonding time.

That looks fantastic. The only thing that would make it better in my opinion is if you had Paragon Detail type ceramic coating done to it. The contrast between the matte black wrap and the "liquid metal" finish on your carbon gray Maverick would be a ridiculously sharp looking truck. Check...

The dealer that I ordered from in Columbus Ohio had an order for 100 for O'Reilly auto parts for delivery vehicles. In these cases, I wonder if Ford prioritizes fleet orders because they are such large orders, or retail orders for better profit margins.

You might not need to worry about them getting stolen then if two people in good lighting with all the time to figure it out can't figure it out. Maybe you have to take the track itself off to remove the cleats. I would like to think Ford made them robust enough to not just slip out of the...

So happy to hear you had a good experience with Ricart. I should be picking mine up there in another month and a half or so.

Thanks for that info. I know things never truly go away in the digital realm, probably not even if the moderator deletes it. No sense in making it easy...be smart about what you post everywhere, not just here.

I have also been riding on the street for 30+ years. I agree with your OODA loop in this circumstance on a bike and would also work in a 4 wheel vehicle. The few seconds of lost time by being on the brakes early could have saved a lot of grief. The advice I gave my younger brother and sister...

That's a good idea and glad you posted it. I hadn't thought of making a tray from kydex. I looked at the 3d printed one that someone posted a week or so ago because my local library has 3d printers you can use for free with just a nominal cost for materials. The problem was that print time...

Nice, hoping my Oxford White XLT gets here soon. Enjoy 😉

I have worked construction for the past 12 years and have 2 flats attributable to job sites. One where I hit something in the road. 2 on the job were fixed with a basic plug kit. The other was fixed at a tire shop with a semi tire plug and a patch on the inside. Ive had 4 sets of in that time. I...

I think those wheels and tires look great with that color...good choice. It really changes the whole look of the truck.

This is the last review I watched before I put my order in. I thought he was honest in his assessment and has the ability to review it for what it is... not compared to luxury sport sedans or high end luxury trucks. This is Doug Demuro's video review and is 28 minutes long if you watch on...

Believe me, no offense taken. You could just buy it, get your build scheduled then maybe sell it forward to an unscheduled June order. That will be a fun car to have down there. I worked near Roanoke for two years and wish I would have had my Miata down there.

I think it comes from the original Maverick.

Darn, I have a 2008 Nissan Sentra I'd sell you for less than your price range. I bought it waiting for my Maverick to get built and got a 6/6 build date a week later...it's a lucky car.
