  1. Did you pick FWD or AWD Maverick and why?

    IMO the only reason to opt for FWD is economics. And that’s a good and valid reason. However for me the savings of the FWD is a poor value given the loss of capability. AWD wins in winter conditions, off-road conditions, horse power and towing.
  2. Heated steering wheel

    I’ll wait for them to deliver the car I ordered for the price they quoted. I’ll wiggle a bit on cost but some specifications are non negotiable. deliver something else, anything else, and they are toast. Period.
  3. Maverick FX4 off-roading review (by BlakesCars2)

    Agreed, this guy wasn’t beating it up and I wasn’t trying to make a direct comment against him.
  4. FITS 3D printed trash can created for the Maverick

    Pretty cool but I’d need a hinged lid or my dogs would be in there nonstop…
  5. The ONE thing that would make me love it more..

    1) a passenger seat as good as the drivers. For the life of me I do not understand why so many car makers don’t offer better front passenger seats. In most households the person sitting in that seat has veto rights on the vehicle purchase…wouldn’t it just be easier to sway their opinion with a...
  6. The only mistake that Ford made on the Maverick is -

    So far the only mistake I see that Ford made, and it goes beyond the Maverick, is a disconnect between R&D/Marketing and Production/Procurement. Eventually the former will figure out it’s pointless without the latter…
  7. Maverick FX4 off-roading review (by BlakesCars2)

    Good video showing what my truck could do (as delivered) without me doing it. But consider this; 1) 4x4 = 4’ further & 4’ deeper. 2) The difference between getting stuck and walking out or “making it” is 90% the person behind the wheel and their ability to disassociate their concern for the...
  8. Before Maverick, what were you looking at?

    I wasn’t really in the market, yet. I had the plan to drive what I have for 5 years then trade it in just before the warranty expired which is in about a year. Ford was not high on my list as my last one was a 3 valve 5.4 F250 which was a complete POS… My current car is a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk...
  9. [Lariat] To FX4 or to not FX4, that is the question...

    I walked away from a Lariat with out the FX4 package and ordered one with it. For me it was non optional.
  10. K&N 33-3131 drop in air filter installed on 2.0 Maverick

    An air filter can only help horsepower if the Filter becomes the airflow restriction. 90% of real world driving with a stock filter never creates this problem as the throttle blades are not always WOT and the RPM is not requiring excessive CFM of air. ultimately the program using feedback from...
  11. Dual exhaust installed [sound clip added] on 2.0 Maverick

    Yup, iPad and it doesn’t play…
  12. Exhaust will need serious help.

    Sweet, tuck it up higher and you have my attention…and money.
  13. Pineapple on pizza?

    I’m a Canadian so Abso-F’ing-lutley!!! Ham, pineapple, bacon and feta (With cheese and tangy sweet sour sauce if they have it).
  14. Cool 12v Stuff?

    Heated blanket for the dogs, check. LED box lighting, check. Others depend on what I’m doing.
  15. Pets!

    Always had Min-Pins, still have one and love him dearly. Then we got a Rat Terrier…OMG what an awesome little dog. Mac (aka “moose”) a shadow of his former self due to pancreatitis and Elli May showing a rare moment without a ball in her mouth…
  16. Motorcycle riders, let’s see your ride.

    My ride; 2009 Harley Heritage Classic, 107”, 6 speed. Less rear seat, windshield and trunk.
  17. First big haul with new rack system! [1200lb of gravel and 8 - 2x4's]

    Not all of them are 1500. Lots of posts on here in the 1300-1400 pound range depending accessories. From the pictures this truck is likely in this range. And payload isn’t just what you consider cargo, it includes everything not on the truck as delivered. So depending his weight, how many...
  18. SEMA Mavericks walk around video

    Thanks for the video, might cost me some money but thanks. Love the painted grill bar (in my colour of course). Now I know what and where my driving light bar is going. Heaven help me I don’t know if I can resist flares and a lift…so tempting but not without implications…maybe after warranty…
  19. XLT or LARIAT?

    It just is, now. Kinda hard to explain. The car I have now came with it, I almost never bought it because it had it but it wasn’t an option so begrudgingly I bought it and figured I could suffer through it. A week later I was a convert. Something so liberating that I can just open a door and...
  20. Tailgate Assist Update

    A button head screw should fix your issue, to bad the cylinder is already scratched but it can be touched up. FYI: aftermarket bolt on accessories are rarely that. Expect to tweak, modify or down right reengineer many of them. I’ve found it more the norm than the exception unfortunately.
