Let's make it retroactive. Ford, please issue an optional update to default it to off.

If you have done your research and negotiations online, know what you want, know what you are going to pay, then it's an easy 30 minute transaction, fully negotiated before you've even stepped in the door. You're there to sign papers that have already been emailed or texted to you as a pdf, and...

The All Knowing AI says... (user discretion advised) The "AWD OFF" message on a Ford Maverick means the All-Wheel Drive system has temporarily disabled itself, reverting the truck to front-wheel drive, to protect components from overheating during heavy use, such as intense snow, mud, or sand...

For those who care, "Ford on the Road" will have a little event Tuesday, 17 Feb at 11 AM on this vehicle.

Guys, we don't want to be cheering for Maverick fleet sales. Fleet sales depress resale values, as those used vehicles hit the market. Many fleets (rentals, for example) resell their vehicles very quickly (yes, others keep them many years) because reselling is actually a profit driver - remember...

AAA is also great to have. I had an awesome experience with Ford Roadside. My fault start to finish, but they covered me at zero cost. Rodents chewed through the wire harness in my driveway. Ford actually towed 30 miles to the dealership at no cost, even though they were not at fault. Of course...

We should be hitting a half million sold late spring or early summer. At the end of 2025, we were up to 455,000 sold, increasing at 15,000 a month.

>> It was a weird car and I think the world needs more weird cars Nissan Cube comes to mind. I didn't buy one, but I adored it. Maybe because a half century ago I had a Renault Le Car in college.

Most insurance companies will dispatch a truck to your driveway to fill the nick and most likely stop it from spreading. And most insurance companies will not charge you a penny for that. As always, you might have the insurance company that does not cover it. I've had several nicks filled over...

I suspect for many, the competion for new Mavericks is now used Mavericks. Edit: Although a quick search on cars.com only shows around 2,500 used Mavericks for sale in the USA. Not many, considering there are what, a half million or more Mavericks out there already? But I betcha the used...

FYI. I did not start this thread. The admin did. I posted the article to an existing Santa Cruz thread, and the admin moved it to a new thread.

Kind of saddened this morning to read Hyundai is discontinuing the Santa Cruz next year. I was kind of hoping, in the sense that competition is good for the breed, that they would bring out a vastly improved small truck. Now it looks like their next truck will be Ranger sized...

The real competitors to the Maverick are likely coming in summer 2027. One truth of the auto market is that nobody lets somebody else eat a juicy fat pie alone. And 150,000 Mavericks a year, with a market demand that lets you raise the price (aka fleece the sheep) by 33% in 5 years - that's a...

Autoline Daily for 27 Jan 2025 is now reporting insider information from AutoForecast Solutions that the Maverick EV will start rolling off the lines in KY in July 2027. A year later the Escape EV starts coming down the line. The plant can do 200,000 EVs a year. A reasonable person would think...

OP, really the only thing you need to know about the Maverick Ecoboost engine is that Ford's powertrain warranty runs 5 years and 60,000 mile. Everything else is Internet noise...

PODS.

I love my dealership, Asheville Ford. They do driveway service, including the 4 recalls at no charge. They partner with a QuickLane right next to the dealership for oil changes, tires, etc, and it's super fast and very price competitive ($500 less than local tire shops for new tires). They're so...

Here in WNC, at 70 years old, I run my heated seats 365 days a year on the medium setting. My stiff muscles love it. Even with the AC running, those heated seats are on. One nice thing about Ford is that the 36,000 mile warranty is not the end. There is a 5 year,60,000 mile warranty on the...

Best snow car I ever owned was a 1960s VW Karmann Ghia with summer tires. That engine weight located right over the narrow rear bias ply tires plowed through snow well past the bumpers in NW PA winters. It was literally a snow plow. OTOH, I did have to patch the driver side floorpan with soup...

I used to have a love-hate relationship with winter and snow. A walk on a CT trail in an in-progress snowstorm can be a magical life event. Going up an icy hill with my old RWD Ranger with summer tires, standard transmission - not so great (I specialized in not taking my own advice to get snow...
