I can buy them right now from my neighbor up the road. He imports used ones from Japan and sells them for farm runabouts. Usually under ten grand. I drive by one every day, on the neighbor's cow farm.

If you still have those used plugs, it would be interesting to measure the gap and compare with specs

Not sure I agree. Ford had the Bronco Sport and Escape. I argue the primary motivation for the Maverick was CAFE. Those fines and credit swaps were in the billions - which easily offset the program engineering costs. But I respect differing opinions on that. Sometimes I wish I had a spycam in...

Part of me wonders if the Maverick is partly responsible for CEO Jim Farley's recent pivot of Ford to more affordable electric vehicles (skunk works). If you read between the lines, you kind of see that Ford released the Maverick as an EPA compliance car so they could sell more profit-generating...

It's a shame automakers don't report profit by vehicle model. I would love to see the numbers for how much profit Ford earns on 150,000 Mavericks compared to 700,000 F Series trucks. I have no clue what the difference in profit woud be, but it would be interesting. I'm especially curious about...

The Maverick dial is OK, but the ultimate shift control is as highly differentiated steering wheel column stalk. Out of the way of everything, but immediately available to the driver. But it has to be hefty and clearly differentiated from any other stalks. In 2025 these things are just electric...

OP, one friendly suggestion from a guy who paid $600 US to get part of his wiring harness replaced after rodents dined on it... I suggest a mint spray or similar to repel rodents. They sell a zillion types. Generally a mint or sulpher. Spray under the vehicle, wheel wells, engine bay. I now do...

FWIW, I had to go back and edit my original thread-starter post. I misreported the number of used Mavericks in the USA. Not 2,200. More like 22,000. I absent-mindedly used a filter for AWD XLT.

I have experience with it, yes and yes

I still like looking at my red Maverick when I walk up to it. And I'm starting the fourth year of ownership, so in human terms that's an unusually successful relationship.

Thanks for the review. Starting my 4th year with the Maverick. I researched trading for a 2025, but couldn't justify it. I don't think the Maverick walks on water or anything, but honestly there's not much about it that I'd change. It's an honest vehicle - doesn't pretend to be something it's...

I don't take these awards very seriously - none of them. Once you dive into how the candidates are selected, who's doing the judging, etc - they're capricious and arbitrary. A bunch of immature (often even at age 60) self-appointed automotive geniuses proclaiming they don't have any biases. My...

Elon will sell you a Neuralink, and then you can shift with your thoughts.

That article was a shining example of the American school system. Phone in some AI-generated mush, collect a paycheck. Get clicks from people desperate to consume mush.

This thread drifted onto resale value. I know resale values are highly local, but I caution against overrating your Maverick's depreciation performance. First, you need to adjust the price you paid three years ago using BLS statistics. Second, you need to mentally acknowledge that when you sell...

I'm just curious. And my Google searching skills, while adequate, have not born that much fruit A few years ago, I'd see around 1,000 used Mavericks on Cars.Com in the USA. Did a check just out of curiosity today, ands it's about double that. So it makes me wonder a few things. First, 2,200...

There was an article somewhere last week that pointed to some customer research that the vast majority of midsize trucks, and a significant minority of full size trucks are never used for truck things. They're just image and lifestyle vehicles. Now the folks who use their whatever-size truck...

https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/ford-maverick-sales-figures/ I'm curious about the collective wisdom. I think we're about to hit a half million sold by the end of CY 2025. The Maverick is currently selling at 130,000 to 150,000 per year, which is about capacity at Hermosillo (as long as the plant...

I keep hoping a Green Bay fan will convert one of these Green Mavericks into a fan truck. Green and gold. Please, any Green Bay fans out there. You know you wants to...

Super cool. But the old man in me can't help but wish you'd made it a classic "woody".
