You do have a point. But in our rural area shops like that do not exist. I would have to send them out. Maybe a local independent small tire shop could know.
I have done many motorcycle wheels over the years. Being retired I do have plenty of time in my garage. At my age (73) polishing...
I like the style of the wheels on the xlt, I just don't like the color. That said, I just might when I have a week of time unscheduled or when I need to put on new tires, remove my painted stock XLT wheels. brush fresh paint remover on them, rub with 000 steel wool and repeat several times...
My 2016 Prius with cruise control on has done the same thing many times. I either give is a little gas and that seems to help the engine noise and also in the hills I turn off cruise control. I feel in more control with my foot. I have not seen this on my Maverick hybrid yet but I probably...
Even if the Baja and Santa Cruz were the same price as the Maverick and equally equipped I would still by the Maverick because I like a truck to look like a truck not a car. Why, I owned 2 Rancheros and 1 El Camino and I like 4 doors.
Why stop at 10. You missed so many things people have already posted threads about disliking about Mavericks. You missed small mirror and backup camera that come to mind.
Take your list to a dealer and maybe they can fix a couple of them like trim falling off. Noisy cabs have been...
Well, there is the case of the Chevy Bolt (all electric) which recalled 100% of them and told owners not to park them inside a garage as they could catch on fire and burn down the house. All linked to bad batteries from battery supplier, LG. Didn't even need to be in any accident.
Hybrid...
Didn't know the Maverick existed till around 9/4. Decided I wanted one. On 9/8 I ordered xlt white hybrid base and on 12/16 drove it home. Cavana bought my 2016 Volt before delivery of truck. Most people can spout lots of reasons as to why they need something. I just wanted it. Now I have it.
Lots of people saying they paid for this and that like the backup camera or the mirror. Yes you did buy a package deal that included these items. Ford did not offer a range of quality or features on these items so what you get is what you get. If it is working (but not to your expectations)...
How many accidents did you have before backup cameras came into your life?
You have 3 mirrors, just remember how they work.
I will agree that the backup camera could be better but you get what you get. Maybe over time it will be improved by optional replacement or software. Making the...
Most of us know that a manual transmission will outlast most automatics. They are becoming a thing of the past. 8 and 10 speed automatics are very complex computer-controlled masterpieces when new but sometimes not engineered for durability (and not tested enough I think) in the real world...
I have always painted (prep is everything) steel wheels gloss black then added chrome beauty rings. I like that look.
There are pictures of them on this forum already. Do a search.
I did not order the truck for the interior. I took what Ford gave me with the options I wanted. I'm not going to change the interior color. So XLT neutral
Your thread heading asks a question. I'm on my 4th fill up. Answer; It depends if I want to think about gas mileage. I don't.
I just drive it like I want. When I'm not in a hurry I know it gets over 40. If in a hurry, it doesn't.
A very low tech Mustang Fastback to drive on twisty roads. Maybe Ford still has the original 65 metal stamp molds. Light weight, Roll up windows, manual mirrors, small like 1965, cheap too, 5 or 6 speed stick or dual clutch, disc brakes, PS, PB, AC. Sporty like a Miata Hard top and not...
I have put gas in my XLT 4 times and at 2 different stations. One did not have the suction gator on the nozel and one did. I insert and start pumping at the lowest setting that will lock the handle. When it clicks off, I hang up the hose.
Never a spilled drop or problem. Try a...
Yes, after 1500 miles I say the mirror is just fine. I hardly have passengers in the back so I removed the head rests but have then handily stored in the garage where I can grab them should I plan to have passengers.
My stubborn Maverick refuses to adapt to me in anyway shape or form but I am adapting to it well just like all my other cars/trucks. Maverick is my #67th car/truck. Happy camper with basic XLT. I don't care where Ford goes from here because I'm not buying anything more they could offer.
