  1. Anyone using your Maverick as a family vehicle?

    This is a Maverick forum so of course everyone will tell you that a Maverick is perfect for families when actually the correct answer for you is "minivan." Congratulations on your good news! You will find that two children require more than twice the stuff you carry for one - it's exponential...
  2. A larger rear view mirror is needed, the factory one is horrible ....

    Interior rear view mirror on my XL is 10"W x 2" to 2-1/8"H glass area. I don't seem to have a problem with blind spots with this mirror and my outside mirrors set correctly, even though the base model exterior mirrors have no convex inserts.
  3. What is this information for?

    I have the same model & trim level as MaverickHybrid and the exact same problem: I have to press the OK button every time I start my truck to make the seat belt status graphic go away. Yes, I buckle my seat belt before starting my truck. Yes, I've read the owner's manual. Yes, I've looked at...
  4. Temp. neutral mode - transmission and Buc-ees car wash - is this working for you?

    No, you don't "move dial to L" - you push the L button with the dial still set to N.
  5. My hybrid makes clicking sounds after it's been off for a bit

    We've learned not to worry about odd clicking or humming noises our hybrid Toyota makes when parked in the garage. The RAV4 owner's manual says: "Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the...
  6. Is the Ford Maverick for DIY garage repairmen?

    Your question implies you're asking about the Hybrid model. The Hybrid has a 4-cylinder gas engine that needs oil changes and coolant changes just like non-hybrid vehicles do. However it does not have a separate alternator or starter motor. The Hybrid has windshield wipers and headlight bulbs...

  9. XL Headlights on with wiper

    That's good news, Mike. My morning newsfeed is full of "where's my rear window defroster?" and "where's my lumbar support?" so it's nice to read of one Maverick owner who had a pleasant surprise! There isn't by any chance a Cruise Control button on your steering wheel, is there? :D
  10. Hybrid AWD Worth The Cost?

    Base curb weight: 2022 Maverick Hybrid (FWD) 3,674 lbs 2022 Maverick EcoBoost (FWD/AWD) 3,563/3,731 lbs 2021 Escape Hybrid Estimated Base Curb Weight (FWD/AWD) 3,554 lbs./3,706 lbs. I'm surprised that AWD adds so much weight to the Escape Hybrid. Must be all the "AWD" badges.
  11. Hybrid AWD Worth The Cost?

    The 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid has a powertrain similar to the Maverick (2.5L engine, eCVT) and is available in FWD or AWD. The AWD option is an additional $1,500.
  12. Maverick vs Hybrid CUV

    I bought my wife's 2021 RAV4 Hybrid LE in December. Called the dealer in the morning and had the keys 4 hours later, including the hour it took to drive to the dealer and back. I ordered a 2022 Maverick XL Hybrid in June 2021 (to replace my car, not the RAV4) and hope to see it 6 or 7 months...

    For comparison purposes, the Alutec Grip alloy wheels I put on my RAV4 are 22 lbs each for size 17x7.5.
  14. Maverick just the beginning?

    I bet Ford can get a Falcon Club Wagon to market before the VW ID.Buzz ever sees a showroom.
  15. Maverick not truly a Unibody?

  16. Motor Trend Maverick Hybrid First Test Review: Thrifty, Awesome Fun

    The article was published today, October 21. I assume that the just-released EPA numbers were a last-minute update. I'm interested in Alex's comments about the hybrid's handling compared to the AWD EcoBoost FX4. I wonder if the hybrid is better balanced, since the 12V battery is moved under...

    I have wondered what the difference is between a twist beam and a solid axle so I looked it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-beam_rear_suspension has a pretty good description, with pictures.
  19. test drive oddities

    My Maverick-to-be is the 3rd new car I've ordered without a test drive, and I think you are more sensible than I am! The car I borrow from my wife while I wait for my XL Hybrid is a Toyota RAV4, also a hybrid. I am very happy with ours, however multiple owners on the RAV4 forums for the...
  20. Can Any Owner Tell Me: Can You Crawl Under The Front End Without Jacking The Vehicle?

    I don't have my Maverick yet, but I've driven my other cars up on scraps of 2x10s to change the oil. Easier than driving up ramps and I think safer than some of the cheap ramps I've seen.
