Maverick will be my 67th vehicle making 8 new rest used Motorcycles 41 with 8 being new rest used. Makes 108 vehicles 15 new. Hey I am almost 73 so had some time to do this.

It will be cool to many and sacrilege to others. Bottom line I think it brings more awareness there is a new truck in town. More will be sold. Good for Ford and maybe Maverick owners too.

lol. In over 50 years of driving many different cars before and after smog requirement laws were enacted in CA I have never had to replaced a gas cap. Lucky I guess. Replacing the stock intake manifolds and reverting back to stock exhaust to pass smog is a hell of a lot more work than...

Pretty easy decision. Buy it as Ford Makes it, or buy it and paint the dash with proper paint that will stick. Specialty paint for such a change is around. Sounds like your "can't buy" pretty much says how much you hate it. Ford doesn't care. Most people on this forum have already...

Besides CARB issues in CA with intake manifolds CA will also start smog testing for flashed Engine Control Module (ECM). So if not completely stock programming, the car will not pass smog. CA is getting tougher to sell aftermarket exhaust, intakes and re-programming ECM's (some call them ECU...

I owned a POS 1973 Maverick 4 door with landau top. I also owned a cool 68 Ranchero. I'm good with just the FORD on each end. At least it is not a B2300.

in California unless it is CARB compliant with a sticker and number, it will not smog and no license renewal. Wonder if this will have CARB approval? Might cost more if it did. I'm leaving my Maverick engine bay alone for awhile.

I plan to put about 15k down as I sold my Volt to Carvana. I also locked in 1.9% for 60 months already the week after I ordered it on 9/8 with a 500 deposit. Saw my dealer today and he said this would probably be the last week he could order a 2022 Maverick. I don't care if it is true or...

Benjamin94 And if I do pay, what are you going to do about it? Well you did say "Please" Funny wording you had in the heading. But 50.00 to some is a bargain if you were born with two left hands.

I had a hard cover and bed extender on my 2002 Sport Trac. The bed extender when folded forward creates a wall or shallow bed. So when grocery shopping or for just a few bags of something. I threw the stuff in the bed and the extender kept the items from going all the way forward out of...

No noise from the factory floor on the video but there where areas where the people where wearing hearing protection (ear plugs).

Agree, plant already exited. Also, making vehicles is more than labor costs. I am sure there are less regulations, taxes, etc outside the USA (not a political comment). The final product costs buyers less too. USA gave up lots of manufacturing years ago. Trying to get it back (if it can...

I bought a 2002 Sport Trac used with 50k on it. Traded in a 97 Ranger. Kept the ST for 12 years. I loved the truck hated the gas mileage. It hauled everything I ever needed to haul. Some times with the hard cover off and tail gate down for motorcycles. I always wanted a small truck like it...

It might be better if you bought the ecoboost motor. Hybrids are very different. I have owned a 2016 Volt and presently a 2016 Prius. Both had electric and gas motors. I have 60k miles on a Prius (closer to Maverick drive train than a VOLT). There are times when I know the ICE kicks in...

my 2 cents I will omit Tesla because the Maverick is much more like my Prius. I also owned a Chevy Plug in Volt. 1st. Weird noises backing up. Some states require electric cars to emit a sound when backing up to help people see you because they can now hear your car. If gas engine is not...

Just finished a 1416 mile trip in my 2016 Prius. Actually hit 95mph passing a semi on a long downhill. That truck was rolling. The dash says I got 51.8 mpg for the trip. I know it lies and if I really want accurate mpg one must do math. I only do it sometimes. Yes, it is simple math. Put...

Cruise control is my friend in my Prius. I use it all I can. It keeps me from getting a ticket (yes a Prius can go fast enough to get a ticket). Cruise is more steady than I am on the throttle. If speed limit is 55 I set it around 60-61 (or you have a jerk trying to run over you). On 4...

I hauled many motorcycles in the back of my 2002 Sporttrac with the tailgate down over a 12 year period with no problems. I plan to do the same if I need to haul one with my Hybrid Maverick xlt. When you get a chance measure your bike from the front of the front wheel to the contact area...

My 2002 Sporttrac had hard cover that folded in half. It also was easily removable but heavy. I put a strap around it and lowered one end onto a hand truck to move it to a shed. It still looked good when I sold the truck in 2019. I plan to get a hard cover eventually but it has to be...

Wife and I are heading up to Yakima, WA non-stop (except gas and other breaks) then back along the coast then inland. A 4 day trip in our 2016 Prius hybrid that now has 58k miles now. I think we'll get about 47 mpg on the trip. I roll with the traffic so 65-75 usually. It will be packed with...
