Sorry if I came off as Mr. know-it-all, but still say that AWD will not make up for poor driving choices in winter. That said, we just had ice storm #5 today. This is not normal weather for ND. Beginning to wonder if he Maverick came with a curse
Going to put my two cents in once again. I was concerned about going with FWD after driving 4X4 F-150's for 30 years. I drove into Fargo in an ice storm and had to use 4WD. I drove home in my hybrid Maverick with stock tires and did just fine. This has been an unusual year in ND, with one...
Have had my Maverick for 2 months and 5600 miles. Until today not a single problem. I had my wipers on when it sounded like one snapped hard. They continued to work fine, but at the same moment my sound system started playing a deep hum and nothing else. I turned it off and back on, but still...
I appreciate the winter driving suggestions. My Maverick came during Fargo's first snowstorm followed by an ice storm two days later. The stock tires performed just fine and I'm not planning to replace them. I realize the situation is different in hilly terrain or where regular heavy snowfall...
Thought it might be good to do an update on mileage. It has been improving as the Maverick gets broken in. I'm currently getting 40 mpg overall per tank, but part of this has to do with the fact that, at 73, I'm not in a big hurry to get anywhere. I like to take back roads where I can go 55...
My '23 XLT hybrid came at the end of October. I got the luxury package and the cp 360 package. I'm at about 2500 miles and am very happy so far. I concur with many of the comments above. My first impression was of how carefully everything seems to have been thought out given the complexity...
Same thing happened to me. I tried everything I could think of, including restarting the pickup, but to no avail. Then the next morning it was fine again. Will look for the infotainment update.
Just finishing the first 1000 miles in my new 2023 hybrid XLT luxury edition. I have driven F-150's since 1995 after discovering that the backaches I was having disappeared when I drove one. My last one, a 2018 XLT with the six, delivered an average of 21 mpg. It never gave me a lick of...
One of my biggest concerns in downsizing from my 2018 F150 to a Maverick was how I was going to feel about losing the CD player and sound system I had loved for the past 5 years. After waiting a year the Maverick finally came. I took a chance and ordered a USB disk player from Amazon, the...
I just took possession of my new 2023 hybrid XLT today after a one year, one month, and ten day wait (but who's counting?). I have driven (and loved) F-150's since 1995 after discovering they were good for my back and well-suited to my environment (eastern ND). The decision to downsize came...
I've had 4 Ford f150's since 1995. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I have never had a major problem over all those years. They just run and run. The only reason I am switching to a Maverick (due, after a year, at the end of the month) was when I came to the realization that, given the mpg...
I don't have my Maverick yet but hope to by the end of October. At 73 I've spent years driving FWD, RWD, and 4WD through the worst WI and ND could throw at me. My first FWD was a revelation: virtually every winter driving condition became easier to handle (except, of course, backing up). In...
What's fun for me is how much Maverick owners are like their Model T owner forebears. They, too, would brag about power, real utility, and price--and take pride in their purchase. I have driven F-150's since 1995, primarily because my back likes their seats. (I had one GMC--it lasted a week)...
Wondering if I'm screwed. Ordered XLT first day of ordering September 23 and was told I was the first order in for the dealership. Verified order, but haven't heard anything except for 45 day messages. Today I went in to make sure everything was in place to set on a 24 order. My salesman...
As I have said before, I think it will become more of a cult car than an iconic one. When I watch people bragging about what they are able to do with their Mavericks it sounds much like what I read happened with the Model T. I also remember similar things occuring with the VW Beetle. The...
It might be classic capitalism, but I suspect Henry Ford would be screaming at them to wake up use their brains for once. He turned traditional capitalism on its head with the Model T by making it affordable until everyone was driving one. It was the first cult car. I watched the same thing...
