What's odd is that, on paper, the Maverick does offer more room in the passenger compartment. However with my Mav I had to have my seat 90% of the way back and my right knee would only be 2-3 inches from the dashboard. In my new Ranger I have the seat maybe 60% back and I have more room for my...

Figured it would take much longer for me to post one of these threads, but as of a few days ago I am no longer a card carrying member of MTC. I made the choice to sell my Maverick and upgrade to a Ford Ranger. I've always loved the Ranger and owned one for a number of years in my early 20's. I...

I might be joining you soon. I was really unhappy with my Maverick after a recent trip to Idaho. I've always loved the Ranger and previously owned one in my early 20's. I almost bought one but was turned off by the prices at the time. If I still lived in Portland my Mav would be an awesome...

Just completed a roughly 600 mile roundtrip to Idaho for some firearms training through my work. I began by departing Pendleton, Oregon on Highway 395 south to John Day, I then traveled east on 26 through Nyssa, settling on the far east end of Boise that evening. When I filled up at the gas...

Pretty much my thoughts. "Cool, another small truck on the market. Anyway...". Wake me up when Toyota releases a small truck, then the Maverick might be in trouble. I could see the Dakota selling decently well but the Rampage ain't going to overcome to Maverick. I'd bet dollars to donuts on that.

I previously shared this guys 165,000 mile review. It seems he has followed up with a 190,000 mile review. I'd wager he likely has the highest mileage of any Maverick currently on the road. He travels around the country doing something for Native American festivals so he spends a ton of time on...

When I was looking at my buying a Mav, I visited Corwin Ford in Pasco, Washington. I looked at the window sticker and saw they were charging $800 for the "built in" GPS tracker so your car can be recovered if stolen. They called it Corwin Connect. Not sure why I'd pay for that when FordPass...

I like the light blue colors. I'd like to see an in-person comparison of robin egg blue and the glacier metallic that GMC has. My co-worker has a GMC Canyon in the glacier metallic and it looks really good in person. Like the name suggests it has a nice metallic look to it. I imagine Ford's...

I didn't like the leather seats of the lariat because, living in the high desert, those can get HOT in the summer. That was a big reason I went with the XLT w/ luxury package. I feel like it gave me a lot of extra features that put me closer to the lariat but without adding a ton of extra cost...

As I said, I asked the Ford dealer who does my oil changes about adjusting the tire size in the computer and they told me that Ford corporate forbids them from doing so. However, I know you can use FORSCAN to adjust the body control module. That is on my to-do list but I'm told that doing so...

The MPG calculator on the truck has remained mostly accurate. The first few fill ups I calculated the MPG myself and found it was within .5 mpg of what the dashboard reported. The dashboard calculator is known to slightly overestimate MPG by 3-5%. I've read of people adjust the vehicle's MPG...

Great write up. I've been thinking of installing an LED lightbar in my grill because I find the stock halogen lights on the XLT to be lacking and the install process for the Form LED projectors seems like a PITA. I figure a lightbar would be easier to install and give me that extra kick for when...

UPDATE: I've put about 2,000 miles on these tires so far. The biggest thing I've noticed is a drop in average MPG. My average MPG has been declining ever since I got these tires, while my driving routines are staying the same. I'm averaging around ~22 mpg city and ~31 mpg highway, roughly ~26...

If I was buying today: hybrid AWD w/ 4k tow package. At the time I bought you could only get AWD and tow package on the EB model. AWD is a necessity for me because of the area I live. I really wanted a hybrid but I just couldn't sacrifice the AWD and tow package to get it. Shortly after I bought...

Last month was my 1 year anniversary of purchasing my '24 XLT. Currently at 16,500 miles and enjoying it. I still wonder a lot if I should've gone AWD hybrid, but I got mine for $27k brand new so it was hard to say no to that price. Right now my plan is to keep this truck until it dies. The only...

Oddly enough their PHEV Ranger sells quite well in Europe and Australia. I wonder why we have such an aversion to PHEV systems in the US?

How many miles? Is it still covered by warranty or are you having to pay out of pocket?

Just shy of 5,000 feet in elevation. Besides driving through the Blue Mountains in eastern Oregon I haven't done much adventuring into the mountains here in the PNW with my Mav.

I went with the Rough Country tri-fold cover. I found it was pretty easy to install. I didn't install the drain hoses and I still find that my bed stays pretty dry. The only time I notice a lot of water in the bed is if I go through a car wash, other than that I'd say it stays mostly dry. I...

'24 EcoBoost just about to hit 16k miles. Never noticed any smell of burning oil. Like you theorize it could be oil getting caught on the skid plate during oil changes and basically cooking off when the truck is turned on. Could be a more concerning issue like an oil leak somewhere in the system...
