  1. Open Letter to Jim Farley

    Lemon law(s) exist just for these situations. From the information here the Mav is under warranty. Make Ford take it back. Hopefully better look with the next one
  2. 2024 Maverick XLT Hybrid arrived.

    Pictures or it isn't real :p Is a long wait - but sadly close to the norm for hybrids. At least for a lot of us. I was a bit under 13 months. Yours over 15. Can you imagine how many Ford could sell if they actually could build enough to meet the demand in full plus put stock in dealer lots...
  3. Any difference between eco mode and regular mode

    I use normal mode. Did eco for one tankful and didn't notice any difference. Any other mode besides normal requires me to manually select it. So the only mode other than normal I can see myself ever selecting is slippery in bad weather.
  4. Would you buy hybrid again yes or no

    I have a 2022 XL Hybrid. Yes, I would absolutely purchase again. I don't drive a lot and a back of the napkin estimate says my driving is probably 85% city 15% highway. After 6600 miles I'm averaging 40.2 mpg. That's a lot better than the 13.5 my 1998 F-150 got. And there is so much more space...
  5. Maverick vs Ridgeline.. has anyone compare the maverick to a Ridgeline?

    I do not think the Ridgeline to Maverick comparison is fair - thought it might be interesting. The Ridgeline is more comparable to the Ranger or Tacoma - both in price and size. A top of the line 2024 Maverick is still a couple of thousands less than the base price for a Honda Ridgeline...
  6. Short bed hack

    That's some serious MacGyver there. I doubt I'd have the courage. :p
  7. Maverick shortage is over?

    No Mavericks for sale here in southern Indiana that I can find. Not even used ones. Interesting though there I found over 20 Ford Lightnings. Only two were XLT's priced in the $57-$59K range. The rest were Lariats $70 to $80K.
  8. Thoughts on Ford modular bed liner?

    It wasn't the dealer. If you order the modular bedliner directly from accesories.ford.com, you are offered the option to pay for installation. Which is only $60. I've linked below. At the end of ordering online - if you selected installation - you are given a list of nearby Ford dealers to...
  9. Sleeping in the Maverick Cab. Yes, it is doable, but....

    It's called the fetal position. Curl up with a few small pillows. :pThe back seat is fine unless you are NBA center or NFL linebacker sized.
  10. Hate to be the bearer or bad news but the Maverick has for our family, proven to be unreliable in the worst way. No start condition on multiple HEV

    Actually, all the posts here represent an over statement of the problem. People having problems look for a forum or outlet to say something about the problem. People that don't have problems and just drive their truck daily don't look for a forum to say "all is great".
  11. 38,000 mile summary. BEWARE: ISSUES GALORE!

    Get a lawyer. You can find lots of lawyers online that specialize in lemon law auto lawsuits. You probably should have done this before the 36,000 mile mark, but a lawyer will tell you if they can do anything. Basically, you want to say the car is a lemon and you want Ford to buy it back...
  12. 📣 2024 Maverick ordering & changes info! Price increases, new Terrain & Azure Gray colors, product changes, etc.

    If the price increases of the hybrid lead to more production that's well worth it. But the information we have now is that Ford - even with the substantial price increases on the hybrids - still plans on only 30'ish percent of the 2024 models being hybrids. A plug in hybrid Maverick is the...
  13. 📣 2024 Maverick ordering & changes info! Price increases, new Terrain & Azure Gray colors, product changes, etc.

    As for the 2024 pricing. Interesting to me is that the 3rd year XL Hybrid has gone up quite a bit in price. Remember $19,995 plus shipping? And the same truck with the ecoboost motor was a $1000 more. So in terms of price increases, the XL ecoboost hasn't gone up all that much. While the XL...
  14. 📣 2024 Maverick ordering & changes info! Price increases, new Terrain & Azure Gray colors, product changes, etc.

    Well, technically interest rates are set by the Federal reserve board, currently comprised of three Republicans and three Democrats with one unfilled vacancy Members can serve a very long time and once appointed are largely independent. No one was happy when inflation was 9% and interest...
  15. Can xlt Mav read Text messages

    I have an XL Hybrid and only connect my Android phone via Bluetooth. I get notified of text messages and it reads them out loud. I cannot imagine the XLT is less capable
  16. Anyone else's insurance premiums increasing?

    State Farm, who I have - has been well covered their substantial rate increases this year. The bill for my Maverick has not come up yet. My 2018 Ford Escape went up 25%. I have thought seriously about calling around and switching because 25% at once seems unreasonable. And I've been with...
  17. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    Awesome wheels! Looks marvelous!!
  18. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    My son borrowed the truck Saturday and it had it's first real "truck" use. 2 sheets 3/4 4x8 plywood, 2 pieces 2x6x8, and 3 pieces 2x4x12s. Add some ratchet straps and some zip ties and red flag. The plywood loading works really well, you could stack quite a few 4x8 sheets if inclined.
  19. Beware: Heat Exchanger not covered under warranty

    I don't want to read ALL the posts here so not sure if anyone has shared my view. I also don't want to be unsympathetic, I have a hybrid and I don't want a $1500 exhaust system repair at 38,000 miles. BUT, the following is what I believe to be the facts. The heat exchanger is not part of the...
  20. Does the Ford Tonneau Cover Leak? Yes it does

    The hard fiberglass tonneau covers - more popular a couple of decades sago - could be 100% waterproof. I had one on my 1998 Ford F-150. BUT - those things essentially turn a pick up truck bed into a large trunk. You can't haul anything more than that is taller than maybe a foot taller than the...
