  1. PSA: oil change on FX4 Maverick requires skid plate panels removal

    Pay me now or pay me later… better solves cost more up front but not offering it you pay every oil change. Either way the man gets paid. I’m not into driveway oil changes anymore but I can suggest a vacuum extractor is well worth the money and tinfoil drain funnels cannot be suggested enough to...
  2. Live Pics: Tucci Maverick at SEMA 2021

    Considering it’s a concept/show truck at SEMA I’d say itā€˜s hammer on nail. Take a new available platform, add lots of DIY accessories and increase chatter on what people can spend money on within their industry. Yup, nailed it. Even better, it’s looks are polarizing so now it creates extra...
  3. XLT or LARIAT?

    For me push start was mandatory, so Lariat it is. If that would have been on the XLT I would have bought that.
  4. Ford GT Gulf Livery on Maverick

    Not into the colour scheme but it is the first picture I’ve seen with chrome wheels. I like it!
  5. Undercoating / rustproofing Mavericks. RU?

    It really depends on how long you intend to keep it. 5 years or less save your money, if forever then spend the cash. hint: nothing lasts forever no matter what you do… As for me I’m getting the dealer to undercoat it as it might help lower road noise. The rust proofing sounds good but it will...
  6. Maverick "Rattler" Off-Road Prototype Spied Testing!

    Rattler…shouldn’t it be a Grabber? lol… so much conjecture over questionable pictures. given what I see it still sits to low in the beak, and frontal approach is a questionable benefit with all that rear overhang. cut the angle on the front just tempts someone to tear the rear bumper off trying...

    Oh, and thanks!
  8. Happily Expecting

    The dealer suspected March/April delivery but was hoping for earlier. I’m in no rush, I have a good car still with warranty so I’d rather drive it through this winter. it’s a 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk with low KM and to be honest has been a great car but I bought it with the intent I would...

  10. Pricing & Part #: 2022 Maverick Bed Cap / Camper Topper by SNUG TOP SPORT (Be

    Nice that the aftermarket is stepping up this quickly, not so nice is the sticker shock. Give it time and I’m sure it will improve with competition. Personally I’m going with a tri-fold this time out. I’ve done the truck and canopy, you alway tell yourself you can take it off for tall things but...
  11. FWD vs AWD in Snow?

    I have a 2017 Renegade Trailhawk 2.4. In winter I use Nokian Hakapilitta’s (sp?) and I’ve never had a more capable vehicle in winter conditions, well maybe a better heater for short drives but on the road it’s unbelievably planted and it has seen its share of extreme Canadian ice and snow...
  12. Manual Transmission. If it was offered, would you choose a Standard?

    As much as I like driving a manual transmission after owning one when I separated my Achilles’ tendon kick starting a thumper it’s auto box for me on all daily drivers. while the surgery and healing took place I couldn’t use my daily driver. if it was an auto I could have one footed it…
  13. test drive oddities

    Terrace. they have a Lariat in stock that was oh so close. almost flipped a quarter on it, if it had FX4 I’d be looking at it in the driveway now… overall I’m smitten with it and I haven’t had that feeling in anything new for a long time so I’m looking forward to placing the order tomorrow. only...
  14. Full Size Spare is smaller size than other factory tires?

    Thanks for posting this, it’ll save me a few bucks, at least on the order. later not so much As I’ll have to buy a matching tire… I never thought ā€œfull Sizedā€ didn’t mean anything other than ā€matching sizeā€. It doesn’t say that, it’s what I read into it, so that’s on me, my bad. I’d hate to be...
  15. Fords choice of Maverick as a name

    They’re closed. not to worry, we’re communicating via email and my allotment is available. albeit delivery (cross fingers) is March or April +/-.
  16. Fords choice of Maverick as a name

    Honestly the name really turned me off this vehicle. im old enough to remember what a Maverick was, and would prefer to forget those memories. but 90% of potential buyers would need to Google it to know and likely wouldn’t understand… Iā€˜m still torn, is it a truck or did they build a sedan and...
  17. test drive oddities

    Test drove a Lariat yesterday. had it at a passing speed for a short moment, so around 120 km +/-. the hood didn’t move that I noticed. the door handles/ pulls/ armrest were a spot of concern prior to the test drive as they looked different and not comfortable in pictures. they exceeded my...
