Prediction time! My guess is that Ford will want to get what they think the most popular combination will be, out in the market to stimulate more interest. It’s obvious from their photo emphasis on Area 51 (backed up by what our group is actually ordering) that you’ll see that color first. So...

Green Gem! https://fordauthority.com/2021/06/2021-lincoln-nautilus-gains-new-green-gem-color-first-look/

On my recently sold Subaru the safety cameras at the top of the windshield were open. Subaru expressly says NOT to spray window cleaner on the windshield but to spray a cloth and clean that way. Are the Ford lenses protected or are they exposed like Subaru? I’ve tried lots of different searches...

Correct me if I'm wrong. Looks like neither the XL or XLT have a rear defroster. Looking at photos of climate controls, there's no button I can find. I'm pretty sure l read that the Lariat power slider comes with defroster.

Not sure where I saw it, but does anyone else remember seeing that Ford’s new electric motor in the hybrid is water cooked rather than air cooled? Does this mean that some winter interior heat might come from the electric motor, so that the gas engine doesn’t have to run to supply heat ? (In...

Has anyone been able to figure out where the backup camera is mounted? Will it still be usable with the tailgate down? My son’s F-250 has the camera on the gate and it is unusable when down... of course he has another camera up by the bed lights on the roof.

Planning ahead for winter wheels and tires. It’s important to know the wheel specs. Since the Maverick is based on the Bronco Sport and Escape, will the wheels that fit those vehicles also fit the Maverick? I don’t want to go nuts, just standard 17” and stock tire size. Someone else already...

A lot of car media comments were made about the Honda Ridgeline when it was restyled in reference to the the “break” between the cab and bed, even though it is a unit body. I think Ford stylists were clever in that the back door cut line accomplishes the same visual cab/bed break.

From forum posts I see some folks just want an inexpensive pickup, but what other motivators are there? I'm probably not the target market, but here are my reasons: Retired and really don't need two vehicles any longer. Our 2000 Subaru Legacy wagon still runs good after 263k miles but the wife...

Did an enthusiast start this forum, or did Ford marketing, or a market research firm retained by Ford? I like to think everyone's comments are being observed and considered by someone connected with Ford.

Since the very earliest reports of the Maverick, there has been speculation that on the base trim level the standard engine might be Ford’s Duratec 20 normally aspirated engine. I find myself hoping this is true because I have reservations about the 1.5 Ecoboost if it indeed has a timing belt...

Saw news today that Ford is stopping some F150 production because of the chip shortage. Wondering if the Maverick will be delayed until the shortage is resolved. I can’t imagine that Ford would build low margin pickups when they could be building their cash cow instead. I don’t think they would...

In another post I showed a size comparison drawing to my Subaru. Others have expressed interest in comparing their vehicles to the Maverick. This drawing is my best guess, we’ll have to wait for the real dimensions. Each hashmark on the ruler is 3”. Other dimensions, height, width, ground...

Anyone have experience with Ford’s molded floor liners? Are they constructed as well as Weathertech? Do they cover as well as Weatertech? I see the Bronco Sport online build has them with the option to delete carpeted mats, with pricing that undercuts Weathertech by about $30 (+shipping on...

Doing some research on 2021 Escape for ideas on potential Maverick pricing of options and discovered a Cold Weather Package for $645. Living in Minnesota I would be all over this option group! Includes: remote start, dual heated mirrors, heated front seats, HEATED STEERING WHEEL!, wrapped...

First post for new member. Will the Maverick have the same color palette as the Bronco Sport since it is built in the same facility? Or, will the colors mirror big brother F150? Personally I’m hoping for a nice green. There is a lit of buzz on new Bronco forums about a coming green and the...
