December 15th, I turned 75. My Maverick was delivered on December 15th. Gestation 97 days.
We went to lunch together. Great thing is no diapers needed for the newborn. I on the other hand will probably need some eventually.
I use a cable for Apple car play if I need directions. I use the cable to charge my phone and like it being hands free if I need to have my phone on for my wife to call. I use a USB thumb drive for my music or use the radio. It has been very reliable with my Apple 14 phone and really consistent...
I just did my first oil change (Ford did first one) this is trucks 2nd one. I got cheap all synthetic oil at walmart (Quaker)that had the Ford Specification. Oil minder said 5% life left. Took me a little over an hour using 2 ramps, cardboard to slide on for me and an electric drill for the...
My Maverick Hybrid is my 105th vehicle (64 cars 41 motorcycles). My truck got to 5% left on oil so I had ford do it first at around 5800 miles. Last Sunday oil monitory hit 5% at 14054 miles. I did the oil change my self taking my time and looking around. Cost me under 40 for full synthetic...
I like your emblem.
I owned a 73 Maverick 4 door but the only Ford script I had was from a different ford but stuck it on last year using really good double sided tape.
No EV in my future.
I had a Volt plug in for 3 years. Charged it in my garage. It had gas engine to run the electric drive motors when battery was too low. Model dropped and parts started getting scarce. Could happen to even new EV cars. I drive about 7k miles a year so at 75 this may be my...
I used points for first change at 5800 miles on my xlt hybrid and they did tire rotation too. Last Saturday my very FIRST change as oil monitor was 5% . I had a new filter left over from my Sport Trac I sold. Picked up Quaker ford spec full synthetic oil 5gallon jug+quart for 31.87. Ran truck...
Got a rock chip last month at the top of glass in the black area. Didn't crack by the time I got home. Thought I was lucky. The next morning it had cooled overnight, and it cracked about 18 inches down and across. I have 250.00 comprehensive deductible on my insurance policy with State Farm...
Getting my 22my Maverick in December 2021 was my 64th car/truck. Most make owed were Volvo 240 and P1800 models. My very first car in 1964 was a Volvo 444 that I paid 90.00 for,
I did buy a used 73 Maverick POS in 1983 because I had a newborn and needed 4 doors. I didn't keep it long. I have...
74 years old
Ordered my 21 white basic XLT September 2021 got it on my birthday December 15th, 2021 (97 days). My first Maverick was a used 73 4door POS. My prior truck for 12 years was a used 2002 Sport Track (loved it but is sucked the gas but would haul a motorcycle). Sold my 2016 Chevy Volt...
Just after high school (1967) I bought a 58 Chevy Belair 2 door, 348 engine, metalflake blue with white top and blue and white tuck and roll upholstery early on a Saturday. I replaced the leaking power steering pump. Took about an hour. Had all of 170 dollars in the car. Drove it to work that...
I got my Maverick Hybrid 12/15/21 after ordering it in September 2021. Retired but drive it almost everyday. Now with 13k miles and long trip vacation this summer of 1500+ miles. Not 1 problem. Only do the recall stuff when I felt like calling the dealership and they get me in. I got air bag...
I had my dealer order the part for the battery cable before I let them schedule me after they tried once already but no part was available. So today (9/26) I got my cable fixed but when I checked in I had them look up this newest recall. He said they would add that to the work order and do it...
Why would I get rid of the dealer plate frame?
It was free. I really like my salesman at the dealer whose name is on it. I bought Hybrid, No BS of anykind, $500 down, no paperwork done ahead of time, got MSRP, got my truck in 97 days (pretty fast) and it arrived on my birthday. I even pass...
There is a video showing a front wheel coming off the front of a pickup truck at freeway speed and the tire rolls in front of another car to the left of it. The flips the car into the air and it finally ends up on the wheels.
I imagine a lawsuit will be going towards the owner of the truck for...
boy have I missed out. After 15 months of owning my Maverick, I have never noticed that when I unlock the doors the license plate light is also on. It is bright enough that it could be useful if I was hooking up a trailer. Good job Ford.
