  1. Will Hybrid Maverick qualify for any credits or tax breaks?

    My power company allowed me to switch to "time of use" pricing where 12midnight to 3 pm was really much lower (1/3) than peek hours 4pm to 12. My plug in car is only charged after midnight. We also only do laundry in the mornings. Normally we can average 60% of our usage at the lower rates...
  2. Sources for details on Hybrid Engine (request)

    I have a 2016 Prius and a 2016 Volt. Both have been totally trouble free. What you say is all true above. But we all know about electronics. They can be very reliable but if not built well can develop problems. Those little diodes and resisters and circuit boards can overheat and stop...
  3. Your Maverick aftermarket plans

    No pictures except of motorcycle rims that were once all black. Lay the rim on the garage floor. take a yard stick and see what are the nigh points. Usually the top of a casting area (like the loops on the Maverick painted wheels). If those where stripped and polished there would be 5 round...
  4. Who has the earliest estimated delivery date?

    My dealer will have a demo for me to look at and maybe drive on 10/13. It is not for sale and not sure if Hybrid or Ecoboost. I plan to go at least to look and sit in it. Maybe the wife might go.
  5. Deciphering my Vin Code

    I got a link from mav_can in post #8 for the owners manual and I used it. But thank you too. Members here are quick to help on this forum. Hope after we all get our Mavericks that we only have good stuff to post here and there there is very little bad with this new puppy. Time...
  6. Deciphering my Vin Code

    Refer to post #9 in this thread. thanks
  7. Your Maverick aftermarket plans

    White XLT, thin/thicker 2 line black pinstriping tape. Maybe remove and polish the high flat areas on the painted alloy wheels. Not really aftermarket products as I do all the work myself. Been doing wheels on my motorcycles for years. Nobody else has what I have which makes it easy to...
  8. Deciphering my Vin Code

    0% I don't believe was an option but maybe it was. I'm ok with 1.9%. Honda gave me 1.9% on a new 12k Honda Rebel 1100 4 months ago and so far I have paid less than 8.00 interest. I will be paid off soon. I only ordered white XLT with only option being the 100.00 hitch. Pretty simple truck
  9. Did you pick FWD or AWD Maverick and why?

    Because my last 5 cars were just front wheel drive and of the 5, 2 were Hybrid and one electric. I had a Ford Sport Trac that I sold 2 years ago. Missed it and missed having a truck some but I did not miss the terrible gas mileage it got. Selling/trading my Volt means gas will cost me a...
  10. Deciphering my Vin Code

    Originally my dealer said the same thing, whatever they had going. Well if they have better than 1.9% I screwed myself I guess. But I'm only going to finance 25-30% of the cost anyway. I have a 2016 Volt with 39k miles to trade or sell before paying the dealer. I really don't know how...
  11. Deciphering my Vin Code

    thank you all very much... huunvubu mav_can sdr.speng
  12. Deciphering my Vin Code

    Thanks, But I don't have a Maverick truck or an manual so that becomes hard to do. Do you have one? Is there an on-line copy of one? I only need to know what 33 means after W8E.
  13. Deciphering my Vin Code

    Me noticed it too.... Now if I get pulled over and they look at my registration and see the vin number I will be asked if I have any guns in the car. Well thank you officer, In fact I ........fill in.............. lol:cool:
  14. When do you think the first Maverick will be delivered?

    My dealer says he will have one on 10/13 that Ford is sending to the dealership so they can at least show it to people. He sounded like it would not be for sale. I plan to go look at it.
  15. Deciphering my Vin Code

    The Vin codes have many possibilities between letters and number usage. The place where made is important (ford has more than 1 plant in Mexico). Also I bet they probably can tell who touched the vehicle when it was assembled and if any problems show up repeatedly they have a problem at that...
  16. Deciphering my Vin Code

    so I got a Vin from dealer after locking my order for the 1.9% finance expiring on 10/4 . question if anyone knows, are my assumptions correct below where I commented and can anyone help with the missing values I don't know. Thanks Starting at the left side it reads 3FT made in Mexico...
  17. Do hybrids warm up interior and defrost as quick as ICE vehicles?

    I own a 2016 Prius and a 2016 Volt. In the Prius on a cold morning if you set the max settings for heat the Gas Engine will usually start. In normal use the battery level goes up and down so if the small storage battery is high, ECO mode will give you heat but when the gas engine is running...
  18. Examples of maximum trailers a non-tow package Maverick can safely tow

    Like the Harbor Freight trailers there are versions available in aluminum. The come in different sizes. I got the smallest size available. I got this one from Northern Tool. I put this trailer together (pretty easy) for hauling a motorcycle behind an electric car and had a weight capacity...
  19. Making the Most of Your 4.5' Truck Bed

    I had a 2002 Ford Sport Trac truck for 12 years that had a small bed. I hauled many a motorcycle in it with the tailgate down with bike going from left corner in front and right corner in rear. The 3 Motorcycles I own now should fit fine as the bed on the Maverick is bigger in almost all...
  20. Ford fanboys/fangirls what would make you leave Ford

    What would make me leave Ford is if they ever did what Chevy is doing with the BOLT. 100% recalled, they are saying don't charge over 90%, don't use more than 70 miles of range left, and do not PARK it inside (they catch on fire). And, they have no fix for the batteries and no idea when it...
