  1. Towing a nice little camper trailer - Sun Lite 18RD

    I get it, and agree completely. But my post was really more about the need to level (and how simple that can be) with pretty much ANY trailer (or RV of any kind). We've rented a Scamp, owned a couple of others (a 21-foot bumper pull and a 36-foot 5th wheel), and now have a 25-foot motorhome on...
  2. Towing a nice little camper trailer - Sun Lite 18RD

    12-18 months wait time for an RV order to be fulfilled has been "industry standard" ever since Covid started. My family of 5 rented a Scamp (the largest bumper pull they made at the time) for a family weekend outing when the kids were a lot smaller... My newborn daughter actually slept in...
  3. Towing a nice little camper trailer - Sun Lite 18RD

    Why would needing to level the camper be a deal-breaker? Even the "paved" RV parks are un-level enough that you often would want to level before using... It takes only a few minutes to get your RV dead-on level. For a little trailer like you'd be using with the Maverick, it's really easy...
  4. Ford Increasing Maverick Production In Response To Strong Customer Demand

    Man, You didn't offend me. I'd love to be able to deliver cupcakes, but I'm under qualified for that job. These days, I'm only qualified to be my wife's unpaid assistant janitor... And glad to get the work - the pay sucks, but the benefits are first rate!
  5. HOT PEPPER RED Maverick Photos Thread

    Yep - that's a looker all right. I'd be getting up early just to walk around it, staring at it from different angles before heading off to work...
  6. CYBER ORANGE Maverick Photos Thread

    I seriously doubt the school bus has the metal-flake look of the Mav, nor does it color-shift in different lighting. But I like the color, regardless. Sure will be easier to find in the parking lot at Lowes than the ubiquitous Area 51 or any of the blasé grays...
  7. Let's see your interesting vehicle! Past/Present, New/Old, 2 wheels or more! Wings to handle bars

    Did someone say "Fly?" This was the airplane I used own - a 1965 Citabria. I paid less for it than what a base Maverick XL would cost... And this is the one I own now - an Experimental Light Sport called the Rans S-6 Coyote II. Another super-inexpensive (less $$ than a Maverick Lariat)...
  8. How to get more MPG from hybrid Maverick?

    Fun while it lasts, right? I get a real kick out of pushing the mileage when it is practical to do so...
  9. Ford Increasing Maverick Production In Response To Strong Customer Demand

    If driving a Maverick makes you feel like you're delivering cupcakes, you should definitely keep the F-150. Or better yet - maybe you'd better trade it in for an F-350. Even better - an F-450! Much more manly, and you could literally look down on all the other "cupcake delivery" trucks...
  10. How to get more MPG from hybrid Maverick?

    Yeah, I'm a hybrid owner, and I've actually managed to achieve 90+ mpg for one very short trip. This was not at all typical, and certainly not sustainable - it was driving home from my daughter's See pic below), with the HVB fully recharged from a 15-minute drive to do some shopping, and from...
  11. Purchased my Maverick locally!

    Looks like the standard tow package, since you don't have the 7-pin (round) hookup. You can confirm by checking for the trailer brake controller that would be to the left of the steering wheel (see manual page below).
  12. Ford Increasing Maverick Production In Response To Strong Customer Demand

    Hopefully, you've been able to set aside those expected payment $$ every month, and now have a sizable down payment that will bring the financed amount down enough to offset the additional costs.
  13. Owners manual humor

    To make matters worse, it's areal "earwig"... You just can't get it out of your mind once it's in there. Our generation's "Achy Breaky Heart," I guess... And speaking of "Achy Breaky Heart," any truth to the rumor that it's the official theme song of Maverick order holders everywhere? (I...
  14. Ford Increasing Maverick Production In Response To Strong Customer Demand

    Yep, i agree that's how it should have worked. And I'm not letting Ford off the hook, either. Just stating that other than rollover orders, everyone's clock re-started on Sept 15th, 2022 because of the lousy way Ford handled it. Having done some database administration in a former life, it...
  15. Ford wants to allow your car to lock you out

    Unless, of course, they can sell it for more than is owed... (Financed at MSRP, can be re-sold at CarMax prices) I know - I know... That's a short-term situation for zero-down financing. But if you're lending to someone with high risk of repossession, and asking 25% down, odds are that you...
  16. Ford Increasing Maverick Production In Response To Strong Customer Demand

    And I get a kick out of all the "I ordered my truck in 2021, and am still waiting." Nope - that 9/21 order was either rolled over by Ford, or was cancelled and re-entered on Sept 15th, 2022 by the dealer - just like everybody else. So unless the dealership did the right thing and prioritized...
  17. 2022 First Edition delivery after 568 days wait

    For what it's worth, my airbag recall work was completed by Dec 7th, 2022 - the day I bought my Maverick.
  18. Ford wants to allow your car to lock you out

    Well, I have never (and will never) finance a vehicle through Ford. So now Ford is inserting itself in the middle of a business transaction between me and my lender. What's the legal basis for that? They have no legal interest in the transaction. Then there's the whole "fraud" thing...
  19. 2023 Hybrid Available in South Texas

    Now I'm wondering if your Mom lived in Cedar Park. My neighbor had a kid that went that same route... Great lady who taught math and physics, and was interested in pretty much everything...
  20. 2022 First Edition delivery after 568 days wait

    Congratulations on finally getting your Maverick, after what must have been an excruciating wait... My truck is also an Area 51 First Edition Lariat Hybrid - twin to yours! It was built June 28, 2022 and shipped to the local dealership - where it sat until Dec 7th, waiting for the airbag...
