  1. Not seeing Mavericks in the wild... why not? How about your community?

    It took a while, but I've seen two in my area the last week or so. To be fair, they were both cactus gray xlt's, so it's just possible it was the same truck twice. But on opposite sides of town? Seems unlikely. Very good to finally start seeing them though. :love:

    Very glad your search was successful. This is one great truck...enjoy! The value of my trade-in was quite low, so the hit was actually pretty minimal. My gripe was mostly a matter of principle. Half the KBB trade-in value was irksome, but as you say the bruise was well worth it in the end. And I...

    Milliwatts, is more like it. But keep in mind, we're dealing with a lunatic here. 😉 Please don't take that the wrong way, Larry. I just couldn't resist.

    Good point about the rear view mirror. I don't have the sliding window (all they ever seem to accomplish for me is to suck dirt onto the cab..), but I imagine it might block enough visibility to account for the complaints. And yes, though overall visibility is good, the frame does get in the way...

    Very much looking forward to my own first trip to the mountains! There's stretch of I-26 near Saluda Gap in particular that I'm looking forward to. Up and down, it should be VERY enlightening.

    Got a friend with one of those new Ridgelines. SO glad they got rid of that buttress business. Seems like a great vehicle, and I would have considered it, but I just couldn't justify the cost. The Maverick came along at just the right time for me. Seemed very much like fate, since my first car...

    Thanks, and hope your experience is as good as mine has been. I fully expect it will be!

    Carvana. Why the heck didn't I think of Carvana!
  9. Observations From A New Maverick And First-Time Hybrid Owner

    It's getting pretty clear I should have brought up the matter here before going into the lion's den. These are all things I'd learned years ago, but after a twenty something year dry spell between new cars, the lessons had left me. Plus, though I'd like to blame my wife for pushing me to just...

    I hope so too. Good luck! My dad had a Falcon and a Studebaker Lark when I was a kid, and as they were the first cars I really knew, I always get a tingle when I see one of them now. Shame it doesn't happen more often.
  11. Observations From A New Maverick And First-Time Hybrid Owner

    I tend to agree. Though it's not really going to matter for me. I typically drive five or six thousand miles a year at best. Though with this great truck I might beat that range through excessive joyriding. 😉

    As well you should. Thanks...and yes, CO is a beautiful color!
  13. Observations From A New Maverick And First-Time Hybrid Owner

    Long term reliability is the only question mark as far as I'm concerned. I'm very encouraged by what I'm seeing so far, though....and your testimonial is great to hear!

    It's a great package all around. I hope you find out for yourself very soon!
  15. Observations From A New Maverick And First-Time Hybrid Owner

    OK....for the first time, mine didn't start this morning. I was in a hurry though, so it could be I didn't push the button twice or something. We'll see if it repeats.

    Man I'm glad you mentioned that! It didn't occur to me until now that didn't get the FITS kit Ford promised me. It's not a huge deal, but like I always say, for free...take! A good strategy for everything except kittens. That one will get you into trouble. 😉

    It was seven months between the original order and delivery. Though some of the wait was due to the EPA hybrid delay. Hopefully the situation will improve going forward. Good luck! 🍀

    Yeah, Cyber Orange is a killer color for sure. 😊 Pretty sure that wire is for connecting to the 12 volt access points in the bed.

    A shame about your tonneau cover. I hope the dealer makes it right for you. I haven't really experimented much with the CP360 stuff....I guess I need to get with the program. 😉 But I do love the auto hold. Great feature!
