  1. Buyers Remorse?

    For what its worth.....As I wrote---I have 2 other Fords with the 2.0. And to me, they have worked the bugs out of these engines. So-the "accuracy" of my statement was preference. Original poster was concerned about getting a Maverick based on the issues he has read about and "buyers remorse." I...
  2. Buyers Remorse?

    Cant seem to see where I said anything against the Atkinson engine or how long Ford has had it. Only mentioned my reason why I ordered the 2.0. It is my preference of an engine.
  3. Tailgate soft close fix

    Excellent explanation---That is the exact fix, and sorry to see a Ford Tech didnt know any better. One should get on their phone for install tips while working in the service bay. Anyway, Hope you get it mounted correctly.
  4. Buyers Remorse?

    My 2 cents worth. I ordered the ecoboost 2.0 for one reason, Ford has seem to have worked the bugs out of this engine. Plus I can work on it. I have this engine in 3 of my 4 Fords (wife has a 3.5 V6 in her flex, and 2 daughters drive the others) in the household and only have done regular...
  5. In general, Is ordering from a very small dealership a bad idea?

    I dont believe either one is stretching the truth. The particular small dealer I use had 70 2022 special and stock orders for various models, on the books last Jan 10th. Last I heard, 42 built and delivered and some being built now. About a dozen off the train car and sitting for a transporter...
  6. In general, Is ordering from a very small dealership a bad idea?

    I have for the last 20 years bought directly from the owner of a small town Ford Dealership, 2 hours from me, in south central Iowa that has a population of 2500. We became close friends when I bought a used 70 Mustang dash for my Boss 302, as he also has a passion for old cars. I talked to...
  7. DFW Maverick Meet 8/27/22

    There are a few restaurants popping up , from east to west. Florida, Michigan, Indiana and a few other states. But how the hell did they get away with that Ford's logo, it is an almost an exact script match to Ford, with an 's on the end. Must have either got permission or are paying a fee......
  8. Is Carvana Broken?!?

    I would concur that the auto and housing markets are starting to fall back in line with something more realistic, well, at least as realistic as the current day is. I have seen autos sitting on lots now, and houses not being bought unseen and over the listing price. The entire economic structure...
  9. Antenna pulled out from roof of Maverick. $1500 fix quoted

    Get a hold of a can of FlexSeal. If Phil Swift can do an entire boat and drive it on the water, maybe that is an option....... In all seriousness, sorry to see something like this happen. As the post from the former dealer body shop guy, and myself having worked at a Ford dealer, there is a...
  10. Slamologist slammed Area51 (lowered on Escape springs)

    Nice freakin' work you did. Really like it.
  11. Tailgate soft close fix

    Excellent explanation-totally agree with you. Though I don't get why there are pics of these closers out there showing them with the rod up on other makes and models.
  12. Any Interest in a Center Console Tray?

    Looks good. I thought about using some of my left over tool box drawer liner material but havent got to it yet. Did you get the trash receptacles?
  13. This Maverick will be my last new Ford

    Yes- it's just not Ford. Our company work truck from Dodge took 10 months. Just a plain jane truck. My work Transit van took 9 1/2 months. (And those were both ordered Jan of 2021) My neighbor just got his Silverado after 11 months. We have 6 rooftop units ordered at work for projects. They...
  14. Tailgate soft close fix

    Agree-make sure when the DeeZee brand is used that you position that bracket against the contour of the bed end post.
  15. Tailgate soft close fix

    Reference pic---Mine has been installed since Feb. No issues. DeeZee manufactured for Ford.
  16. Pictures or its not true !!! 2 golf club bags fit?

    Well, here is your proof. I do not have a big diameter golf bag, so keep that in mind. About 2-3 inches of clearance near the tailgate when shut. It is also nice to have a low in height from the ground tailgate when changing shoes !
  17. Consider Scheduling You Ford Maverick Oil Service Sooner Rather Than Later

    Just my 2 cents worth, not trying to start a argument post. Everyone takes care of their vehicle differently. My past experience working at a Ford dealership and MY choice for changing oil has always been the factory break in oil is good to 2500-3000 miles depending on driving conditions. There...
  18. 20% off Ford Accessories up to $1000. Code ACC20. Ends 6/30/22.

    Yes- Nate at Fairway Ford has been an excellent contact for buying parts. Really good customer service.
  19. Any Interest in a Center Console Tray?

    Yep---I tried that but it fit better this orientation. Let me know how the trash cans work out. He is very reasonable and the accessories do the job
  20. Any Interest in a Center Console Tray?

    I received the tray today, just slips in the console as pictured. Will work great for light items. It is light weight and doesnt fit level but close enough for me for my usage. (This is not the tray from the Amazon link. I got this from a seller on ebay- as I mentioned in previous replies.)
