  1. Lariat Owners: Was It Worth The Extra $$?

    I think I'd like the behavior you have described. The Toyota does NOT behave that way. It's a short-term rental so I've not learned how to customize or disable the system. The basic control choices allow you to adjust the sensitivity when the cc is on, but that's the only adaptive cc control...
  2. Lariat Owners: Was It Worth The Extra $$?

    I loved my '06 Frontier, and the new ones are greatly improved, so good for you. If I needed a truck for heavy hauling and towing, the Maverick would not have been my choice, but for what I wanted and needed, my XLT Lux Eco FX4 with towing package is exactly what I needed and wanted. I test...
  3. Lariat Owners: Was It Worth The Extra $$?

    I didn't get the Lariat and had been regretting my choice--no adaptive cruise on the XLT for one thing. BUT...I've been in a rental '23 Toyota Tacoma with adaptive cruise now for several days while I'm getting some warranty service on my Maverick and I absolutely H A T E the adaptive cruise...
  4. Turbo troubles? UPDATE: I am to get my Maverick back tomorrow, Jan. 26, 2023. 4 1/2 weeks later.

    Probably the same reason many people blur out their public license plate in pictures. Who knows what lurks in the hearts of men?
  5. Turbo troubles? UPDATE: I am to get my Maverick back tomorrow, Jan. 26, 2023. 4 1/2 weeks later.

    Not precisely. I was told "a driveline was warped and must be replaced." When I asked what could have caused that, they said it must have been a faulty part from the factory. The shake was only noticable under acceleration hard enough to engage all four driven wheels. Under cruise conditions...
  6. Turbo troubles? UPDATE: I am to get my Maverick back tomorrow, Jan. 26, 2023. 4 1/2 weeks later.

    My Maverick is still at the dealer awaiting parts (since the 22nd). I've been contacted directly by a Ford Motor Co. customer service representative, who has assigned a case number of CAS-40191535-P9Q8G8. I got a call from the dealer (Robert Horne Ford, LLC) this morning to tell me they are...
  7. Turbo troubles? UPDATE: I am to get my Maverick back tomorrow, Jan. 26, 2023. 4 1/2 weeks later.

    Got mine into the dealer for service yesterday. They just reported to me that the driveline is 'warped' and causing the shake and must be replaced. They have ordered the part and are treating me well.
  8. This is what I've done to my Maverick and I like it

    I love the chrome tailgate letters and the console tray. Share the source, please?

    My XLT FX4 w/Lux and Towing packages, 13,000 miles, has developed a shaking on moderate to hard acceleration -- like accelerating from 45 - 65 to merge onto the freeway. The shaking, which is a 'low frequency' shake (almost like a knot on a front tire), can be felt in the floor boards and the...
  11. XLT stereo is terrible 🤨

    I'm in my mid-70s and I'm quite happy with the XLT sound system. I normally use Apple Car Play through a wireless dongle. The sound seems fine with lots of bass and medium treble. Of course, being old, I don't play it much at volume 20. I find 14 to be very comfortable on the highway. I'd...
  12. 2.0 EB Transmission just said goodbye

    My 2.0 EB AWD is nearly at 12K miles. I have noticed that I can now feel the shifts through the lower gears, which was not the case early on. Good luck and keep us posted, please.
  13. XLT vs. Lariat Debate

    I love, love, love my XLT, but if I were doing it again I’d get the Lariat for the push-to-start (which I didn’t think I’d miss, but, boy oh boy, do I) and the adaptive cruise control. The reason for getting the XLT? I wanted fabric seats. My XLT Lux, AWD, 4K-tow, and FX4 is wonderful. The radio...
  14. Happy with my 2.0 AWD FX4 fuel economy.

    I didn't do any manual calculations on this trip, but I've done that before on this Maverick and the trip meter checked out to be quite accurate. I just bought the lowest grade of fuel available from major retailers (quite a few COSTCO tank-fulls in there.)
  15. Happy with my 2.0 AWD FX4 fuel economy.

    Just completed a three-week trip through Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and back to Arizona. 2,606 miles, much of it on unpaved mountain or desert, some in town, lots on the freeway. Not a single hiccup. 31.7 mpg overall on the trip. At this point, with 11,105.9 miles from new, the lifetime...
