  3. Four 2025 Maverick colors on dealer lot: Desert Sand, Velocity Blue, Eruption Green Metallic, Shadow Black

    Maybe it's an old wives tale. But many times in my 75 years with 60 driving.. I've heard buy a green car and it will be hit. Likewise red and yellow are more likely to be stopped by police.. Few years ago 2 guys at work had green ford rangers and both go hit, not their fault.. My 1980 Ford...

  5. Maverick fixes and updates?

    Not true, It the sticker says it has "FORD PASS CONNECT" It will not have the Wi-Fi. You will not be able to receive 3 month Wi-Fi trial or be able to connect up to 10 wi-fi equipped devices.

  7. Went from XL stocks to ATs and yikes.

    Well did you calculate the 3,5% increase in diameter of your tires.. Todays 27mpg if not adjusted is really 27x1.035= 27.98mpg or 28mpg which is what you initally claimed with the factory tires.. It my calculations are correct, you have virtually no loss of fuel mileage as you think..

  9. Here’s kind of a weird take: the Ford Maverick is embarrassing.

    I read the link-- What I gathered from the article is not embarrassing.. What will be embarrassing is the halt because they can't debug camera software and also hide the lack of the wifi hot spot even though it is featured as standard equipment on the window sticker.... a tipping point to...
