Ok. Can I quickly say how much I'm starting to hate this whole Toyota reliability claim? Every time I hear someone talk about it, it's always about some 15+ year old vehicle. The way tech has changed in those 15 years, especially in automobiles, is amazing. 15 years ago, Prius was the game...

If I recall correctly, the first ever "spy" photo of the Maverick was that modified 3G Escape that several sites mistook as a next gen Transit Connect. Then came the rumors about a compact truck based on the Transit Connect using the NA I-4 engine. Then, we started seeing the black camo padded...

A long bed single cab Maverick!?!? You're about to be the envy of the forums!

I can't speak for others, but I'll speak for myself. I don't "hate" PHEV's; their benefits just don't fit my current situation. For starters, I know exactly what a regular HEV's MPG rating is. For plug-in's though, all we get from the government is an estimated MPGe rating. If I'm buying the...

I have a bad feeling Ford is going to push their HEV's to become PHEV's or EV's in the next couple of years. If that's the case, then I'm just going to have to stick to ICE until further notice (or just get AWD HEV Escape if a Maverick version isn't announced sometime next year). I have...

The amount of people on this site that are worried about tinted LED lights on modern vehicles has me thinking that eye exams need to be standardized for license renewals. Unless you are over 50 and/or have damaged eyesight, there is no way this should be a concern (yes I know the law; read...

The obvious: AWD hybrid PHEV version (probably FWD only since that's how the Escape comes) A Timberline/Rattler/Tremor/some light "off-road" version Potential: Maverick Lightning EV Maverick ST w/ sportier tuned 2.0 EcoBoost PHEV AWD

Tyson Corner Mall is where that show room is. Lucid also has a showroom in the mall.

This would be cool, but I struggle to imagine an upper 20's mpg F-150 as a HEV. Maybe as a PHEV, but I'm not sure. I'm not a mechanical engineer, so the tech behind it's hybrid engine escapes me.

Now THAT sounds very interesting!

Outside of a SuperCab/Single Cab Maverick, what other vehicles would you like to see Ford release or resurrect? Ever since Ford axed sedans about 4 years ago (I think), they have had success bringing back the Bronco, the old Escape a.k.a Bronco Sport, and launching the Ford Maverick. Now with...

With how obnoxiously bright LED headlights are nowadays, would even a slight tint in headlights be deemed unsafe? I mean unless I'm driving in a dark wooded windy unlit road in the middle of the night, I've stopped using my high beams in my Escape because the reflection off surfaces strains my...

Just a heads up. If you are the owner of a Cactus Grey Maverick here in NOVA, was travel south on Rt. 28 a couple months ago, and had a strange silver Escape circling you for about a mile, that was me. Sorry for being a creep. Just freaked out seeing a unicorn in real life...

I hope OP saw these posts with advice before making a decision with their dealership. I really hope they don't get screwed over [more].

I thought you were confusing the Transit with the Transit connect, but I looked it up and you are 100% right. I'm 6' 1" and I thought a full size Transit camper was compact, but GEEZ! These Connect campers are small but show lots of ingenuity. Pretty cool for stealth city camping.

That's the weird thing about Farley's Vin Diesel inspired "family" comment. What does he mean? A Mav SUV is just the Bronco Sport. A Mav CUV is just an Escape. A enclosed-back cab Mav is just a Transit Connect. It's even weirder because the Sport, Escape, and Maverick all share the Ford C2...

I've been puzzled with the whole "family" comment since Farley mentioned it months ago. Scrolling through the comments, I can see it making sense if they go down the special trims route (Tremor, Timberline, Raptor, etc.). So with that in mind, it would be nice to see stuff like this: Maverick...

That's my driving. My commute is 90% interstate/highway. My jobsite is a road widening on a major highway. And I drive 2-1/2 interstate hours every 4-6 weeks for personal visits. This is probably why I've had no issue with the turbo 3-cyl on the Escape (great mileage when full speed on the...

Ok. What episode was this from? lol

My issue right now is that I have an approx. 90 mile round-trip commute plus whatever miles I drive on the work site for crews. Sure, I could buy an adapter to plug-in while in the trailer, but I'm not sure how much that will benefit even on rain days when I'm inside all day. I think I'll be...
