  1. Value-added accessories

    Just one other thought is the bed extender I have works well for that. When it's folded in, it creates a little 2' deep or so half circle towards the tailgate, and splits the bed up kinda nicely to throw in groceries in the rear section there. It's not adjustable, but for me, that's been...
  2. Give me buttons !

    I think there's a spot to meet in the middle on that. I've got a Tesla Model 3. I have the emergency flasher button (required by law to be a physical button), a button on each side of my steering wheel (that are programmable for some of what they do) a stalk (gone away on the newer models)...
  3. If I decide I don't want the Maverick anymore, should I still take it and try to flip it or just not take it?

    Agree, one dealer I'd gone to last year said they didn't even want the deposit on an order (they'd sell it no prob if I didn't pick it up) for a Maverick at least. Went to another because they had some dealer addons that they said were mandatory. The other I went with said their deposit was...
  4. Decided not to take the 2025 AWD I ordered

    I get that, but it's one thing I do miss in my Model 3 I have for the A/C specifically and some radio control. I get some people believe they can operate a phone just fine while driving, but for me, I needs those hands free, my old phone it was easier though to find the answer call button...
  5. Decided not to take the 2025 AWD I ordered

    Even there, looking at what it does, when I towed regularly in my F150 backing up or hitching was 2nd nature after a few times, and that was with a fairly big trailer. I was watching a guy demo the trailer hook up assist, and it seems a bit like the active park assist where it takes longer...
  6. What did you do with your previous vehicle

    I got a 2020 Soul X-line for our 2nd vehicle. Handles nice, great use of interior space, headroom in the back, economical. I got it new during Covid when the gas prices were down, and Hertz was selling off all their cars (a lot of Kia Souls) for a heck of a deal. Traded it a few months ago...
  7. Waving at other Mavericks on the road

    We do a "points" game with my son when driving, with our vehicles and previous ones. Maverick is 3 points, Jeep Wrangler is 1, Tesla is 2... And then finding the furthest license plate away. But I'm rural upper Midwest, everyone gets the two-finger wave, and if I see a Mav, they get 3 or...
  8. Is remote start worth it or will the app be good enough?

    It will depend on the person. I live in Minnesota, it's pretty cold right now, and if I'm heading out from a basketball game, it's going to be about 5 minutes to warm up my truck. I part right by a doorway to get inside, and the arena is warm so we leave our jackets in the vehicle as I don't...
  9. Is it large enough for you?

    I'm 6'3 215. If it was a car probably not, but it sits up a bit higher so I don't need to extend my legs as much and can sit a bit closer which I kinda like where my arms aren't as extended to the wheel. Getting in and out is no problem. My wife is 5'5" and this was her only truck she...
  10. Probably biased, but I really enjoy Ford.

    Grew up GM all the way here too. Always liked the Camaro over the Mustang growing up (they always had a bit more power), and never cared for the F150 look. I had a 98 silverado Z-71 with that green speckled paint that was beautiful (same as below but with the extended cab and a manual...
  11. TFL Slip Test on 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD

    L is not really a true low mode. It keeps the RPM's higher, kind of simulating downshifting when you are coming down a hill. So if driving down pikes peak or over I70 cont divide, you want to hit the L. It's kind of like on a Prius where you can't select your own gears you get a "B" where it...
  12. I am getting very frustrated.

    Only real issue I have is I have a wireless dongle for android auto, and if I end up using the other USB port to charge, sometimes they fight for control... And I'll either need to plug into the USB charger on the 12v (cigarette lighter), or pull the dongle. Otherwise, has been great and...
  13. Carpeted Floor Mats?

    Velourtex Custom Carpet Floor Mats | Lloyd Mats Store Best I can find is this company. They say they have them for both eco and hybrid and have about a dozen colors, Looks like 65 bucks or so for rear mats. Looks like you can get color swatches too... But the chance of one being exact...
  14. No more steel rims: aftermarket wheels upgrade to Motegi racing MR116 FS6

    Nice!!! I've been kinda looking. Have an XL myself. Got a cubby, put in my own tie down rack and my wife wanted the copilot so power mirrors anyways. The only thing I really was wanting that the XLT had was the wheels, but not worth the price difference to me. Wow that makes a difference...
  15. Hello! I am new here, so here's my introduction + questions/wants/to dos. 2025 maverick Lariat.

    Well said, just watch out. I like the raised sides on the floor mats inside to catch mud, but in the bed, I want water to be able to flow out (and crap to just spray out when I wash). Some have raised sides in the bed too.
  16. Hello! I am new here, so here's my introduction + questions/wants/to dos. 2025 maverick Lariat.

    I got the bed extender and my bikes fit in there just fine with it wheels on. Option B is a tailgate bike mat (goes over the tailgate and lets you strap your bikes in, wheels hanging out the back). 44.25 inch wheelbase on my bikes... 27.5" tire. and then my son's little bike beside them. Hope...
  17. Dealer markups?

    Used Cars for Sale Near Me - CarGurus over 13000 showing there for sale of the 2024's. Yes, the XL and XLT's have stop sales. But seeing an XL $4,100 under MSRP. That said, within 50 miles of Elkton KY, there are only 27, some don't have pictures so I bet the real number is less, and...
  18. MotorTrend Tacoma test drive: The Last Stick-Shift Pickup

    Probably on it's way out, just like it went away finally in 2025 with the Gladiator.
  19. Official: Scout EV Pickup & SUV debut w/ Gas Range Extender, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Video

    The one time I see is when my wife runs into the store (or vice versa) when it's 5 below out. And when jumping back in the truck that person wants their temp blasting them with 85 degree air for the next few minutes lol. But wow... Over $50k for the base. And it looks like VW has some...
