  1. Fitting 2 dirtbikes in the bed

    I hauled lots of motorcycles in my 2002 short bead Ford Sporttrac but just one at a time and with tailgate down and metal struts to support the tailgate better. Fitting 2 dirt bikes offers more challenges for sure. The major problem with a trailer is the reduced speed limit and some trailers...
  2. Running out of gasoline in a hybrid! What happens?

    I did not play the video but the picture shown on the video is of a Chevy Volt which is not a hybrid car. It is a full electric plug in car with gas engine driving a generator for back up power when batteries are used up after about 50 miles. The drive system is electric motors to the wheels in...
  3. OXFORD WHITE Maverick Photos Thread

    Ordered XLT Oxford White. Back in 2004 I did buy a New Ford that color.
  4. Hybrid engine performance question

    If you know you can tune the ecoboost why get a more complicated Hybrid designed for peek fuel efficiency with enough adequate power. Choose Wisely or be unhappy. Adding more power always comes with a price.
  5. What features are missing?

    I will like having a truck that gets 40mpg for most of my short trips in town. Many little differences going from car to truck. I went from truck to car last time. I presently get 150-175mpg running around town in my 2016 VOLT so will miss that. I will miss heated steering wheel and heated...
  6. TFL's Maverick Hybrid Review - 0-60 and towing test (including EcoBoost Maverick)

    I own a Volt and a Prius. The all electric Volt is faster off the line to around 40-50. That is when the Prius Hybrid passes the Volt. Prius faster in quarter mile. I will be happy with the Hybrid Maverick's performance for sure. Around town nice and easy on gas and better passing I think...
  7. 📊 Maverick Order Tracking List & Stats [Enter Yours!]

    just added my info to the list. I had done it before but forgot the last step. It helps to read everything.:)
  8. Lock in interest rate

    Ordered 9/8. Just an XLT white and hitch is only option. On Sept 17th I noticed Ford had 1.9% financing that was going to expire 10/4 so I asked my dealer if that could be locked in with my Maverick order. Figured 1.9% would be fine since I have more than half down. He later texted me that...
  9. Visited Geweke Ford in Yuba City, CA. 3 Mavericks arrived 10/2

    I looked on line at Ford to see what dealers in my Oroville area had Mavericks in stock. Geweke Ford was listed as having 3. I called about 3 days ago and they had ZERO but the Ford page had 3. Last night I get a call that they had 3 come in Saturday. Today, 10/3 my wife and I go take a...
  10. Retro Look: XL Wheels Body Color Matched

    cap silver, wheel black, then narrow chrome or SS beauty rings at the rim . That is what I would do. edited: photos added 10/3 I owned these two cars and had painted the wheels black and 1 had stock and one had aftermarket beauty rings. I can't find pictures of others that I did. oh well.
  11. 📬 9/30 Scheduling Email Received Group! [Share Your Reservation and Build Dates]

    I think all the assembly line is run by computers. I also think a computer knows more about stock than any human if receiving has logged in shipments. Some algorithm was designed by a Ford senior programmer. Humans at dealers and plans enter codes that the computer uses to match parts and...

  13. Maverick Financing / Lease Guaranteed Approval Program [Valid Until March 31, 2022]

    not sure, the screen print simply said " Step 6: locked deal" has a vin number listed under Vehicle Information heading (surprised me) and under heading "Program" it has code "21264 - APR FINANCING" and under heading "Benefit" shows 1.9% so I figure it is a done deal. I don't really...
  14. Maverick Financing / Lease Guaranteed Approval Program [Valid Until March 31, 2022]

    My dealer got a Vin so was able to lock the 1.9% rate in. Have not heard from Ford at all. I retired 5 years ago. No debt. I do a tight budget and spend less than I have coming in (like for the last 45 years) so if a payment for the Maverick fits my model I sure don't care about how little...
  15. What would you buy/lease, if the Maverick didn't exist?

    Nothing, I would just keep my 2016 Volt.
  16. Maverick Financing / Lease Guaranteed Approval Program [Valid Until March 31, 2022]

    I went to dealer and locked in the 1.9% already. My order is now locked. I'm not changing my mind and though 1.9% was ok to finance 1/3 to half of it because the monthly payment of about 225.00 fits my budget fine since my 0% Prius budgeted loan was 237.00 and will be paid off in 3 months.
  17. 2022 Maverick will battle 5 other semifinalists for North American Truck of the Year

    The Ford Lightning is a 2022 year model. None delivered to customers in 2021. Probably be truck of the year next year
  18. Manual Transmission. If it was offered, would you choose a Standard?

    My latest bike #41 is a new Honda Rebel 1100 with DCT (dual clutch transmission). No clutch lever. In automatic is shifts up or down the 6 gears it has. If I want to shift, I got +/- paddles. In manual mode I have to shift up. It will shift down to 1st for me when I come to a stop. Nice to...
  19. The XL Trim Maverick Thread

    I am getting the XLT but I thought that if I got the XL I would do the same as you said but add chrome beauty rings (that is if they still make them). I like that kind of look.
  20. How do you guys feel about the cvt transmission?

    I wanted a small 4 door truck with good gas mileage. I could care less about the transmission but In my opinion driving a Prius and Volt, I am happier it is not an 8 speed automatic.
