  1. Getting ready to order

    I have a few questions (and I'll probably keep asking as they occur to me, until I order). Is the seat comfort the same on all three levels, just different covering? I was able to sit in an XLT and a Lariat but at a distance of two months so it was hard to compare. Do you lose any cargo space...
  2. When I finally get my Maverick...

    Maybe they're talking about how much these cars will be worth in 50 years? A mint Thunderbird , Mustang or Continental? :love:
  3. Overlanding Maverick Build w/ Full Featured Slide-In Camper, 2" Lift Kit!

    Just wanted to add my kudos for a job well done. (y)
  4. 2023 Ford Maverick - 12 Changes We Need

    I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet (I didn't read the whole thread), but seeing how many immediately lift their truck and add all terrain tires, why wouldn't the factory have a fine tuned option for this? I'm guessing half the owners would choose it. Just don't make it a $70,000 option...
  5. Long Distance comfort

    We bought a Prius 11 years ago. Super reliable (knockon wood) and great mpg. One drawback- the seats make my back hurt after 1/2 hour or so. On long road trips I get out on gas or food stops literally grunting and groaning. How are them Maverick thrones?
  6. Higher gas prices vs. spending thousands of $$ on a new car

    3 in almost 20 years? I don't think so. Before that I had a F150, a f250 and a Ranger. So I'm an ex- Ford truck guy. I don't expect the Maverick to have that kind of resale value.
  7. Higher gas prices vs. spending thousands of $$ on a new car

    One thing I will mention about my above mentioned Vanagon. It's my third. The first two I sold, both of them, for about twice what I paid. I think this one will be no different.
  8. What option would you want that wasn’t offered

    I would get the XL if it had cruise control. Debating whether it's worth an extra $2000? The only thing on the Lariat that I would really want that the XLT doesn't have is the upgraded sound system.
  9. Higher gas prices vs. spending thousands of $$ on a new car

    Right now I have a 1985 VW Vanagon Westfalia. I love the car. It's one of the only cars that can seat four, sleep four, swallow up a quiver of surfboards or building supplies, and is easy to park. The 85's also have great ground clearance (11") to venture down service roads. But... mIne is a...
  10. Major Issue with NEW Maverick

    When not in use, I prefer to keep my sunglasses on top of my head. I do lose them a lot that way though. "Where the hell did I put my sunglasses???" "Dad, they're on top of your head." In the same way, I tend to lose a lot of pencils behind my ear.
  11. Maverick Joshua Tree Desert Run - Trip Report & Pics

    We were in Joshua a few years ago. Went down Old Geology Road in a 2WD vehicle with decdent clearance. At a certan point we started going down hill over sand covered rock and, envisioning spinning wheels on the way back up, discretion go the best of me and I turned around. DO you think that...
  12. Would you have preferred this Maverick design?

    I prefer that bumper to the actual, although as someone said the turn signal placement is off. If it had an optional winch.... Headlights....no thanks
  13. Camping above the clouds with the Maverick (on 2” lift, 245/65 Wildpeaks, ROAM tent, Xtrusion Overland XTR1 rack)!

    Nice. Like someone said above, those could easily be Official Ford promo pics. I was thinking if was further north. like Lost Coast, Mattole Road or thereabouts. Curious to your MPG both highway and in the dirt, when you're loaded with gear and the RTT? Do you take the RTT and other gear off...
  14. HRG 1.5" Lift Kit Installed [Before & After Pics Added]

    If you do this yourself I (and I'm guessing others) would love to see the "how to" pics. I've done some work on suspensions but have to admit I hate using spring compressors. Curious if those are necessary.
  15. Ford Maverick Broke Down @ 128 Miles, Ford is giving me the run around.

    That really sucks. Maybe you shouldn't have picked up the truck April 1st?
  16. Camping gear - how much do you bring?

    I'm curious how much gear you all bring when camping and how you load the truck? We are a family of three- myself, wife and teen daughter (yes she still happily comes along) and we bring a lot of stuff. Our trips last 5-10 days. When I looked at the bed of the Maverick (I haven't been able to...

    Cute is cool when you're looking for parking!
