  1. Higher gas prices vs. spending thousands of $$ on a new car

    In CALIFORNIA that 5.00 gas is a dream. A lot of stations over 6.00 now so might cut a few months off my investment XLT Hybrid. Rolling since Dec 15th.
  2. All September orders

    Sept ordered 9/8 with 500 check and nothing more in writing. A week later I had my salesman lock in 1.9% financing. 1 day after he did that, he let me know the date it would be made and vin number for a white XLT with only option being the hitch. Delivered on 12/15. Small town dealer, had...
  3. transmission slipped

    My driveway is fairly steep going into my garage. I often back out my Prius or the Maverick and park them on the steep driveway in order to get one of my motorcycles out. I have learned to reduce stress on the transmission (eCVT in both). The Prius really has a hard time getting out of park...
  4. Looking For Maverick Dealership Window Posters

    If you just want a larger picture to hang up, take a picture of a poster or computer image. Take it to a print/copy place and ask them about getting it enlarged. You might even find a poster website you can send the picture to and get back a large paper poster.
  5. It's time to say goodbye...

    I sold my Volt to Carvana. Not real smooth on day 1 as they did not have the check or the transport truck and a gal showed up in an SUV that had no plates on it. I passed. Called them and they did what they said they would doe on day 2 and they got my car. Yes I got a check and I did...
  6. Regrets on Trim, Add Ons, Packages??

    I did ONE step up to XLT trim (had never seen XL interior in person). I wanted cruise, alloy wheels and power mirrors. Only XLT option was hitch for 100.00 (a bargain). I use cruise a lot. Took 97 days got it Dec 15th. No regrets on what I got or didn't get.
  7. Pinstriping - DIY or dealer or ?

    I bought a new white SVT Mustang Cobra and did put the black lettering in the rear bumper. Only 316 built in white in 2004. I'm not sure I want to at this point. I did put other things on my truck.
  8. Pinstriping - DIY or dealer or ?

    If I had a red truck, I would have used gold like you did ( I think that is gold as I am color blind). Good Job
  9. Ways to identify Hybrid vs EcoBoost with tailgate badges removed?

    And the reason older Toyota hybrids are targeted more is not because it is a hybrid, it is because of the location and easy access. My neighbors SUV which was jacked up higher and had big tires than stock made it very easy to get under. It's cat was stolen and it was not a hybrid. Access...
  10. Ways to identify Hybrid vs EcoBoost with tailgate badges removed?

    I don't know about the ECO boost location but the Hybrid is way up behind the motor so I think removing your Hybrid emblem would increase the chances of it getting messed with. I put Hybrid emblems on the side too. I have a 2016 Prius and a 2012 Prius owned told me my model was usually...
  11. Any nice aftermarket chrome wheels?

    Thanks for asking Hogman, Actually, been too busy to think about it but now after 4 months and 3k miles I'm probably going to live with them awhile as they are and be happy not doing the work with my arthritis getting worse. Maybe the warmer weather will help. Cold is not my friend.
  12. May 2022 Car and Driver issue has Maverick article w/ comparison against Civic [tested numbers]

    I did, my last car was a civic. I had a 2002 Sport Trac short bed 4 door Ford I bought used and kept it 12 years. Liked it but hated the mpg and rode motorcycles when I could to save gas. Then I wanted a change. Bought a 2016 Volt and built a little trailer and put a hitch on the Volt. To...
  13. May 2022 Car and Driver issue has Maverick article w/ comparison against Civic [tested numbers]

    Looks like it compares a Hybrid Maverick to a Honda Civic. Both had CVT transmissions. FYI, Here are some specs they found ........................ Mav ---- Civic weight........... 3720 --- 2906 engine............ 2.5+elect ---- 2.0 HP ................. 191 ---- 158 0-30mph...
  14. Don't ruin it for the old guys!

    My white XLT Hybrid arrived on December 15th. I turned 73 that day. Great birthday present to myself.
  15. Ford fan for 60 years

    It's posts like this that indicate you live under a rock. Surely Ford would like to be able to make their own chips but have you seen what other auto makers are saying about the chip shortages? Apparently not. Sure looks like many other car dealerships have very low inventories. Guess you...
  16. Rear Radio Speakers to Close to Passengers Ear.

    wow, you have not spent much time looking at settings that you have at our fingertips if you haven't even found the balance and fader controls. Sit in your new truck some night and play with the touch screen. You will feel better knowing more.
  17. Anyone buy a DashMat Dashboard cover for your Maverick?

    Got my black carpet one awhile back, It cuts down the glare and also for the 95-110 degree days we have in the summer. I personally think the carpet version fades less than the other materials. Got it from DashMat
  18. What's everyone think about the ECVT? Can't make up my mind between Eco or -hybrid

    My Hybrid XLT now has 3k miles on it. It's the best thing since sliced bread. That's my opinion you asked members for. Just more Help for you.
  19. Would you trust moving electronics in the rain under your tonneau cover?

    There are ways to keep those items dry even without a cover. I have noticed some drops on my inside fenders after a rain. That said, big black garbage bags will seal if they are large enough to gather the ends and band them. If not, the back seat has worked well for rain. I'm ok with my...
  20. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?
