  1. Went in for service today

    Not an oil change or anything, but a little oddity with a sideview mirror. Nothing really. The funny part was how the customer service guy in the service department had never seen a Maverick before. I'm used to people on the street being confused by my Maverick, but to see the employee there...
  2. When did you order yours?

    Ordered June 30 Drove it home February 1 Almost 7 months to the day
  3. Got my truck back from the graphics place. Love it

    In this day and age, it is a bit presumptuous to skip the area code. I do like the look of a Maverick as a business vehicle. I bet it will not be the last one I see.
  4. Are Dealers trying to mark up the price on pre-ordered Mavricks?

    I was really expecting some sort of switcheroo when I went to get mine, but it all went 100% shenanigan free. Now, the question is what would I have done if they did get tricky? I factored in some money to cover charges they might add (and that I was not prepared to argue about) but it all went...
  5. What's that noise?

    Sometimes I walk back out in the garage half an hour after parking it and it's still reconfiguring it's innards. I just say, "Nice to see you too."
  6. I regret getting spray in bedliner

    You got a spray in for $500? Dang, I was quoted $650. I already had the BedRug and it works very well. 15 minute install.
  7. Consumer Reports tests show nitrogen in tires not worth the cost or inconvenience

    After reading the report, I'm thinking how I roll and skid the outside of the tire on gravel, asphalt, and the bones of my enemies, but I'm supposed to massage the inside of the tire with nitrogen "to make them last longer?" Forget it. It does sound like a bunch of hokum.
  8. Installing 12 Volt Power Accesory Panel In Bed?

    I just completed installing one in my truck. I soldered the contacts and used heatshrink. I plan to check it from time to time and see how it is handling moisture and all that. The thing cost $15...not a serious investment or anything. I suppose I could get a can of insulating foam and mummify...
  9. EDIY Pigtails needed?

    Is all this basically to avoid soldering and heat shrink?
  10. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    I took the family to breakfast in a snowstorm, then I got a bunch of potting soil at Lowe's. The BedRug I installed is working very well. This is the first truck I have owned, although I have driven several trucks for work in the past, so I am no stranger to them. I am really smitten with the...
  11. Ticking noise - hybrid

    I'm on the edge of parking him and then just sitting there on a stool and trying to figure it all out. Is it key proximity? Is it...me? I like Babar but I don't get all activated when I get close. *Babar is my name for him. If that wasn't clear. (gray, little trunk...)
  12. Ticking noise - hybrid

    Mine makes all kinds of crazy-ass noises after I park it. I have no idea what it is up to, calling the mothership, reconfiguring, no clue. But I do know the backup sound now. I just think of it as the truck greeting me.
  13. How many Mavericks have you seen?

    Roanoke, Virginia area. I have only seen maybe three total. I saw a cactus gray model today. I do not know if any of those are hybrids, besides mine. It's funny how we (in this community) think the Mav is a big deal, but it does not seem to be much of a thing at all. Two guys in the Lowe's...
  14. Parking

    The wife and I call this dingaphobia, or being a dingaphobe. I have it again after years with no fear at all. I was the guy parking that car I just traded in way out next to the new Corvette just to cause him a little twist in his sobriety. Now I'm the guy hoping no one does it to me.
  15. New Vehicle Glow Wears off Fast.

    Maybe there is some psychology to that. "If there is going to be a dent, it's coming from me, not some stranger."
  16. Buy outright or max out the 3 year, 0% from Ford?

    Crypto, apr, liens, meh. I just wrote a check. I'm happy that is an option for me.
  17. New Vehicle Glow Wears off Fast.

    Ooo, you need a toilet paper FITS attachment.
  18. New Vehicle Glow Wears off Fast.

    A friend of mine suggests when you get a new vehicle home, just turn a few kids loose in the back seat with a box of markers. It cures that new vehicle anxiety right away and you can get back to business.
