My Lariat lux is quite the talker as well. "Click, Clack, snoosh, snosh, fuwhoop, clickity, tickity, tockity". With all that crap 'watching', it's no wonder it goes to sleep after a few days.

I think the body panels are really thin. They are thinner than our Edge for sure. Also, debris from the driver's side rear tire getting thrown into the body panel and taillight is not impressive at all. Just how long has Ford been making vehicles anyway? There's a really bad turbulence noise...

You might check to see if in 'the 'power settings' you can tweak it so it does not charge the battery while plugged in. . . Sounds like a nutty option until you have a very small power supply available to you. Not charging the battery while running the laptop might provide the extra you need to...

Around $500. With a six year warranty against needing to be re-applied. Pricey but the guy did a great job. He got inside the door jams and under the hood.

I'm actually waiting for our original build as well. We got a call from our dealer on a Thursday that he got in three customer ordered Mavericks and one of them had bailed on him. The truck was exactly what we ordered except it had a moonroof. When we showed up to drive it/buy it, he hands me a...

We have about 400 miles on our Lariat hybrid (named Tanglefoot). It is fun to drive and we are getting used to driving a hybrid (our first). I spend most of the time in ECO mode but I also use Sport mode for those times when getting on the Interstate is not a leisurely thing to do. Sport mode...

Many of the places you mentioned are well known to me. My wife grew up in Iowa City and we both worked there for 34 and 41 years respectively. We live around Amana and frequently drive through that S corner in South Amana. We also enjoy looking through the shops in Main Amana. Right next to...

I got tired of trying 'high end' wipers and washer fluid so I tryed OEM wipers. They work well and my local dealer buys washer fluid that works great. The wipers don't streak or chatter.

I believe the dealer was referring to the wheel arches that are standard equipment and not the aftermarket ones.

You could get a small 1 gallon fuel 'can' and put exactly 1 gallon into it at the same pump. Does the level of gas come to the full line on the can? If you really wanted to get into the weeds, ........ The difference between the 13 gallon tank and the 16 gallon tank is about 19%. You could...

To me the purpose of the dial shifter is solely to show that the Maverick is a drive by wire vehicle. On my MY22 Lariat, you can move the dial from neutral to reverse or drive without stepping on the brake. So there are definitely some 'why?' moments while exploring it. Oldtimers will remember...

The XLT appears to have 'real' temp and fuel gauges, my Lariat has digital ones. I like the real ones better, they are easier for me to read at a glance. The digital ones have a dashed line so they are harder to visually pick up and there are only eight dashes so there are only eight reporting...

Once I got used to a 'smart' key, I don't want to go back. And the smart key has a real key inside it for those days when we can't get batteries anymore.

Three days of ownership and I almost got rear ended while inside NAPA. I parked up front and a guy in an old F150 XLT came piling into the parking lot. He turned in front of somebody to get into NAPA and was going way to fast. Had he not turned the wheel, he would have creamed my new Maverick...

We got the 'scheduled for production' email for our converted 2022/2023 Cactus Grey Hybrid Lariat Lux 360 (ordered on Oct 23rd, 2021) on Nov 4, 2022. Nov 4, 2022 is the same day we bought a vacated order from our dealer. The vacated order has a moon roof but is otherwise the same vehicle. Our...

Do the wheel arches install with a combination of screws (inside the wheel well) and adhesive tape on the upper body panel, or just the bolts/screws? My local dealer thought that most of the other Ford trucks, that use a similar product, mount only with the bolts inside the wheel well and the...

I just noticed that my VIN for the Maverick going into production (Nov 28, 2023) is XXXXXXXXXXXA07936 (that's a cut and paste from the email). From what I have gathered from posts in this club, I thought the last 6 digits started with 'A' for the first 100,000 and 'B' for the second 100,000...

That was probably an Acme tumbleweed that got away from Wily E. Coyote out chasing down the Roadrunner.

Since I am taking delivery of a canceled order on the day that Ford emails me a production email, my sticker would say '377 dumb luck'.

If he is mistaken, he is calling customers and telling them that their new MY23 orders with VINs are canceled by Ford. That action by Ford, is why I'm taking the Lariat that is at the dealership now and not relying on Ford to build the one they say they will. We will be paying more for this...
