  1. Chug, chug, chug!!!

    I have a state highway I travel on mostly to get where I need to go. Speed limit 50 but most of the time traffic is moving around 45 or so. I have noticed that at that speed, around 45 or so keeping a steady gas pedal, the transmission likes to shift into a gear where the tach is around 1200...
  2. My Two Takeaways.

    Stopped by a local dealer this morning to inquire about my Maverick not charging the battery enough to allow the A.S.S. to work. Now mind you, the least of my concern is the A.S.S. not working. I am more concerned with the battery not ever being fully charged or even close to it and how every...
  3. Ken Block: Wild in the Streets of LA!!!

    Ken Block is my all time driving hero. Sadly he is no longer with us. Enjoy the best.
  4. Ceramic Coating for the FX/4 wheels.

    I've noticed the clear coat for these wheels is very soft and very prone to superficial scratches. They get scratched even when drying with a microfiber towel. On the plus side the CC is so soft just a once over with McGuiers low cut compound does the trick. :confused: So.....thinking of...
  5. Rear Bed Light seems to have a mind of its own?

    I've searched but yet to find a definitive answer. I have the LUX package factory rear bed LED light. I push the button, shut it off but later or next day I find it is on again. I know I must be doing something, but not sure what it is yet.
  6. Nail in tire already!!!

    Walking by my truck I look down at the right rear tire and there is a nail head!!. Well, there you go. Truck is broke in now!! :ROFLMAO: It's in a good spot, easily repairable.
  7. Cerakote on the plastic!

    Anyone else here apply Cerakote to the plastic trim on their Maverick yet? I debated whether or not to do it so soon but decided if applied properly now it would protect the plastic instead of waiting a year or so for it to start to fade. I washed the plastic with Dove dish detergent but did...
  8. The Rear Quarter panel gap.

    While cleaning my new Mav today I noticed that gap where the quarter meets the interior door jam. I decided that ain't gonna float for long. All the scenarios flew through my brain. Silicone seal. Nope. Latex caulk. Nope. Seam seal. Well, maybe but nope. Then I decided that maybe the...
  9. The Builder's partially unbiased Maverick observations.

    I picked up my Maverick Saturday morning. It was nuts at the dealership. A small country dealership that moves lots of vehicles. People were busy buying. It took over two hours and that is with already having a check in hand from Navy Fed so no discussions with the dealership's financial...
  10. Maverick's Heeeeere!!!!!

    Just talked to the dealer, my Maverick arrived and will be picking it up tomorrow!! Tomorrow will be 1 year to the day I ordered it. Oh, happy day!!
  11. Auto Start Stop setting

    I do not have my Maverick yet or I would check this myself. On the 6.5" Productivity Screen (Lariat, FX/4 & Tremor) it is my understanding that if you select menu, then select screens there is an option to select / deselect the Auto Start Stop Feature. Is this indeed the case? Thanx.
  12. Tracking your Maverick after it is shipped!

    Use Chat. Ask for rail info, car number. They notified me my truck is currently in Nogales, NM railcar # BNSF3018xx. Easy peasy.
  13. Fordpass now says "Activate Vehicle" -- good sign?

    I downloaded the Ford pass app on my phone in anticipation of some day getting my truck. Since then, until today it stated it could not find my vehicle or something like that. Today, it says Activate Vehicle. I did not do it. Should I do it?? Maybe blow the horn a few times to get their...
  14. To DLR or not to DLR on the XLT

    For some reason I just discovered that the XLT uses the low beam headlamps as a DLR. That is cool as I always drive during the day with headlamps on so not an issue for me. What could be an issue is, does this almost require one to set their headlamp switch on auto and leave it there? You see...
  15. Looking better for a PHEV Hybrid Maverick???

    Ford is losing Billions more on their EV's and now they are saying they are working on several new Hybrids. Could one of them be a PHEV Maverick? I would say things don't look too good for a BEV Maverick given these losses...
  16. My old Ranger Destroyed!

    Two months ago I sold my 2005 Ranger FX/4 after 18 years. It needed some work to pass inspection. Not a real big deal but decided it was time to sell given the expectation my Maverick would be scheduled and built. Luckily a month later it was scheduled. Last week, the Ranger was destroyed...
  17. Who has memorized their VIN? 🤣😉

    has finally memorized their VIN number after multiple attempts on the Ford Tracker web site looking for updates? :ROFLMAO: ;):ROFLMAO:
  18. BAP on FX/4 Package???

    On the tracker page I finally took the time to read everything. LOL. This is what I noticed under the FX/4 package. Very last item mentioned. This is not the same black appearance package that some order as an option, is it?
  19. Window Sticker

    Does anyone know how long it takes for Ford to post your window sticker after a VIN has been assigned. I'm chomping at the bit to download and print it and put it on my office wall. Hahahahaha.
  20. Ford Credit

    A question for those of you that are using Ford Credit. If I elect to use Ford Credit for my Maverick will I be able to make a larger than the minimum payment each month?
