I prefer Maverick, which refers to an unorthodox animal or unbranded cattle/animal, it suits the type of vehicle our trucks are. They're unorthodox or unconventional compared to most other trucks on the market. They're smaller, when pickup trucks have become positively huge, it's unibody vs...
I kind of like the way it looks, my only concern would be does it significantly hang lower than the regular soft damn, or air diverter, molding, or anything else under the front end? - I had a front bumper protector on my GMC Envoy, and it wrapped under the bumper, and I caught that blasted...
Laughing thinking about the fact that while my wife insists I'm a more aggressive driver than her, yet I always inch the average mpg in her vehicle higher than when she drives. Her Forester will be sitting at say 23.1, we go somewhere in her Forester (or Crosstrek before that), and magically...
When being used as a traditional mirror (screen off), is there a dimming feature to reduce headlights from behind? In most reviews they show dimming the display itself, which doesn't appear to be automatic, and I could see possibly wanting the tradition rearview mirror with the unit off.
What...
Both my wife and I really like my Maverick, and if I went back in time would buy/order it again. It's the perfect size to drive well, and handle most tasks the typical homeowner needs. It's both a great commuter, and a awesome compact truck when needed as a truck. - Heck, I'll be grabbing 25...
I have the Synetic Tonneau, it's VERY well made, nice and sturdy, with dual locks. The owner/managing partner at work has the more expensive Roll-N-Lock on his F150, and I like my Synetic better. That said, they are very similar in construction, although the Roll-N-Lock only has a single...
Even including two winters my average is WAY above the EPA numbers, with a vehicle life average of near 50 (~49 & climbing again with spring arriving). And we have had COLD winters the past two years, especially this past winter. - Winter is mileage is just slightly over or at the EPA numbers...
Hey, depending upon the year, if you have the 4k Tow package, you were within the towing limits of the truck. The Jeep GC range from 3650 to 4250 curb weight. - Just saying.
Unfortunately its easy to tell if you have 4k Tow, no 7-Pin equates to no 4k Tow. You also wouldn't have had a light...
I refer to mine as The Tardis, considering Atlas Blue is a perfect match for the Blue Police Box used as the Tardis....and it's bigger on the inside. :)
Is this more of a tap/thump repetitive sound, or more of a scraping/metal on metal type sound? Might also be different depending upon if you're a Hybrid or EB model, you might want to fill out the vehicle profile.
If it's thump/tap/tic, check the tire for something in the tread. I've had a...
Some features do turn off after a set number of days, even if the 12v charge level isn't low, which will cause the overhead lamps to not illuminate until there's been a drive/ignition on cycle. - I believe the timer might be around 5 days, however I'm going from memory. Mine sat for 9-10 days...
How many miles on the 24 Buckboard? Not an FX4, but I was worried with the every road imperfection resulted in small twitches or vibrations, however the suspension noticeable softened or smoothed after the first 1000 miles or so on my Lariat Hybrid.
The ride may change with mileage if it...
Haven't been through a carwash in 10+ years. That said, I've noticed that several around our area, even the 'touchless' ones have signs stating 'Absolutely No Pickups'. My guess is it's the size of a full size that's the issue, however they don't say anything about vans, only trucks. - I use...
Does the temp show on the 8" screen while turning/adjusting the temperature? - Most of us don't have digits on our knobs, however they still show up there. It would help rule out a software vs hardware issue. If that also doesn't change, then there may be something other than an issue with the...
My '23 Lariat doesn't seem to have any issues so far with the Lasfit bulbs, however, I haven't had ANY updates performed since taking delivery in April of '23. I look all the time in the mirrors for reflections, and they thankfully keep working. - At night especially, you can tell their lit due...
I hear taps playing int he background.....people either can't drive, or don't pay attention since COVID ended. Observed at least three people yapping with their phone in their hand on the way to work this morning alone. - ALL with recent model year vehicle, and want to yell for them to learn to...
The trim just pulls off, start with the edge piece over the wheel well, then the larger piece on the passenger side.
The battery tray itself doesn't come out. Either fill the gap between the two raised positioning rubs with 1/8 inch material, or tap them down with a hammer. - Someone else cut...
Most full synthetics meet the Ford specification for the Hybrid. The primary difference in the couple of 'Hybrid' blends is the additive package is modified to allow oil change intervals of 15,000 miles or more, depending upon the brand.
FWIW the oils packed by Warren Products (ie: Super-Tech...
Just a heads up, Amazon has a fairly nice looking set of All-Weather mats for the Hybrid model on sale for $55.18. They're similar to the ones I have, with good coverage over the 'dead-pedal'. - This is for a full set of front & rear mats.

Just some food for thought, it's possible the 25% Tariff doesn't substantially affect Mavericks. Are we all aware that there already is a 25% Tariff on light trucks, vans without seating, and some SUV vehicles from Mexico? The so-called 'Chicken-Tax' has existed since the 60s. Ford was even...
