Be sure to post a photo of before and after as I have the Rough Country system (struts, shocks & springs) to install when the weather breaks again. I just ordered Mach-E GT 20" wheels and I'm looking at tires now. I'll be selling my take off 19" Lariat wheels and 225/55R19 Continentals. I have a...

My winter tires are on steelies and are going on Monday for an expected 3"-5" snow storm. I'm debating selling my Lariat OEM 19" and replacing with Mach-E GT 20" for my summer tires. My land is so rough, wet and muddy that I'm installing a 2.5" lift from Rough Country as well. By winter 2026...

OMG! That is hilarious! HOBO Edition! 🤘

A car dolly has no electric trailer braking so it is all up to the Maverick's little stock brakes. Panic stop for any emergency situation? Nope. You see, that is 4,000lbs towing capacity when properly equipped. That's what the trailer brake controller on the dash is for. I had to get a towing...

I wonder how well it can panic stop all that mass with no trailer braking? Real men of genius,... Here's to you, Mr. I Can Tow Anything. You successfully overloaded your tiny truck with almost twice its weight and have no safety margin nor trailer brakes. Personally, I had to be educated via...

Are you all safe? The truck sacrificed itself to protect you. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'll start with the before. I picked up my 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD Lariat Azure Grey today. Sadly, I have to work 36 hours this weekend and weather is moving in, so no mods yet.

I do like those center caps. I bought a new set of the Volvo/brembo calipers to try. What showed up were Chinese clones. I did screw up the order from HEL and I likely have useless hoses. I did find that a set of 2021 Ford Transit Connect front hoses fit the calipers and I'm betting they will...

Don't forget to clone your TPMS sensors on your new steelies. Otherwise you have to relearn each time you swap or stare at a TPMS fault indicator and warning message with each start up. I already have mine, but I have to install the programmable TPMS sensors. The steelies cost me $200 and...

I can't wait to try this out!

Get a set of tie down straps.

I have seen lots of good advise here on MTC. I often drove a 2014 Fusion Hybrid and briefly co-owned it due to inheritance. We all competed for the highest mileage score. You are about to discover how many friends need something hauled in your truck, lol! I am expecting delivery of mine between...

I bought mine for $200 on Ebay.

The Maverick hybrid is more akin to the Escape hybrid than a Toyota Prius. There's a high degree of shared parts. So, I would guess that LAP needs something to build so they don't shutter the plant. There's minimum retooling required to convert to the Maverick in that old dinosaur. Probably...

I see that somebody got happy with the grinder while cleaning up casting flash. Looks like crap, but probably works fine. ¡Heco en Mexico!

When Covid-19 struck the US, I started a small garden and bought chickens. I still keep a dozen or so. I give eggs to my coworkers with families and my boss. You should do the same as chickens are inexpensive to raise and will eat anything.

My Nissan Versa just about gets blown off the road when it's windy or a semi passes me speeding on a two lane road. 🚛💨 It Is not as bad as the GEO Metro Convertible though. I hope the Maverick holds the road better.

My 2025 Maverick is my first imported FORD vehicle and my 8th FORD. It feels weird buying a FORD truck made in Mexico.

My 2022 F-350 has a greater than 75% US made parts content and was assembled an hour away from my home in KY. In order to qualify for an made in US label, a vehicle has to have at least 75% US content.

We already have a plug in hybrid Escape, so a plug in Maverick or even an EV isn't a far stretch of the imagination. Instead of spending money on an ICE and fuel system, invest it in a higher capacity battery pack and a simpler and cheaper drive unit. I'm fine with giving up 6" of bed depth and...
