  1. Question#1: Do you rely exclusively on the oil quality control to know when to change your oil?

    I give people rides to appointments on a daily basis, and I usually park with my truck idling (for a/c in summer, heat in winter) while waiting for them. I get the oil changed every 5k miles, along with tire rotation.
  2. Lug Nuts and Discount Tire Experience

    Just a shout out to @Discount Tire... The factory Continental Pro Contact TX's on my '24 XLT had worn out tread after just over 24k miles. So I got a good deal on a set of Nokian Encompass AW01's at their store in Janesville. I did the lug nut upgrade with them right after I bought my Maverick...
  3. New member intro - 2024 Maverick XL Hyrbid on Savini Wheels 20" SV-F2 Gloss Graphite

    My new favorite pick for Maverick aftermarket wheels. Very cool. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘
  4. What did your maverick replace?

    From a 2014 Ford Escape SE, to a 2024 Maverick XLT. Waited 519 days for my Maverick. Very happy with it, 21,500 miles since February, still rock solid. Just needs tires tho, before 2025 starts.
  5. Replacing XLT interior orange trim pieces?

    Or a nice vinyl skin (your choice of pattern/color). πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸΌ
  6. Replacing XLT interior orange trim pieces?

    Depending on what it is, it runs the gamut from cheap and easy, to difficult and time consuming. The orange rubber trim in the center console is cheap and easy to change out, and I've seen snap-on covers on Amazon, for the vents. But the trim on the door pulls is on the other end of the...
  7. How often you should change oil for Hybrid engine?

    My usage follows the 'extended idling' description, so I get the oil changed every 5k. Usually get the tires rotated at the same time (original OEM set, as of now). My Maverick still runs like a champ since February of this year, but it's almost time for a new set of tires (just turned over 20k...
  8. My Maverick Hybrid Build Mini RV / Rig

    Congrats on this project... You are the maker! I'd always said that if there's a 'maker friendly' vehicle on the market today, the Maverick is it, and you've gone above and beyond. Very cool, indeed, continued enjoyment with it. Also; love the pictures. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ» πŸ›»πŸ’¨πŸ’¨
  9. Car inflation:

    Ok, first of all... Just because we disagree on principle doesn't have to mean we're enemy's. I do hope you can agree with me on that point. I'm not casting aspersions on you in general. I am speaking as a thirty five year retired design-draftsman in the industry. Second... The article you site...
  10. Car inflation:

    That article is about efficiency in new vehicle production, not a testimate to a 'rush job'.
  11. Car inflation:

    I don't agree with this. The Maverick was added to the C2 platform very well, which couldn't have been done without advanced planning. The uniqueness of the styling, utility, and functionality of the Maverick on this chassis wouldn't have worked out as well as it has (ok... Not perfect, but no...
  12. TIE Fighter Build - Carbonized Gray 2023 Maverick XLT Hybrid

    Dude... You went all in! This is so cool. I really wish I'd gotten the BAP, but I didn't want the luxury pkg to get it. I don't usually like the window shades, but your matte black ones are slick. Kudos and hats off. 😎😎
  13. Satin Black Wrap, Black Wheels, Keko Sports Bar on Maverick XLT

    Oh, I like this. I REALLY like this. Sweetness. 😎😎
  14. What should I check for at delivery from dealership?

    Check to make sure the basic 'off the truck' detailing was done. Mine hadn't had the inside glass washed and I could see the circle marks from the factory windshield installation on the glass (showed up in twilight, dusk/dawn lighting). I agree with the other tips posted also... Proper tire...
  15. Custom lower bumper grille insert I added to my 2024

    Sometimes it's the small details that make a big difference. This is a clever project (the mesh and the foggys), with very cold results. I'd used some of the aluminum mesh to fill in the gaps on my convertible dolly, works great and had already come in black (mine's a diamond pattern). Useful...
  16. Discussion: Do you guys think this upcoming affordable EV truck will be a maverick design or something else?

    I've dreamed of a 'cab over' personal pickup for a while now. I hope somebody's doing it (judging from the renderings I've seen, Tesla almost did it). But yeah, maximize the interior space, and a cool design that'll be fun to look at, AND still have good utility.
  17. What's your Maverick hauling in the bed? [Photos Edition]

    An office chair, a B/D Workmate, a convertable dolly, and a folding ramp (underneath). πŸ˜πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘
  18. I did a mpg check

    Yep, excellent mileage. Nice picture. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘
  19. Leer 100XQ Sport Truck Cap installed on 2024 Maverick AWDXLT Azure Gray with BAP

    Very sharp. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸš™πŸ’¨
  20. My first mod that should be standard on Mavericks - tailgate assist strut / shock

    Well... It's was one of the first accessories I had installed on mine. I have arthritic shoulders, so 'catching' the tailgate on the way down is a hassle for me. I had the dealer order and install it, so they picked the brand and all; it happens mine opens quickly enough. I think it's the...
