  1. Maverick vs Corvette

    Easy peasy... Just put 1500 lbs of compost in the back of both vehicles, and THEN do a couple of laps! :ROFLMAO: (And before all the Corvette lovers respond with how their 'Vette would still smoke the Mav - I know! I know! This was a joke.)
  2. Cloth seats vs. ActiveX seats feedback

    After a couple of months with my ActiveX seats, I'm liking them. I've always preferred either cloth because it breathes and is much cooler in the heat. And since has a lot more hot days than cold... So for me, the jury is still out until next summer...
  3. Cubby Delete

    But isn't the whole point of the HUD that the data appears directly in the driver's view so that you don't have to take your eyes off the road (or even re-focus from distant viewing) to see the HUD data? Placing a "HUD" in the middle of the dash, where you have to focus away from the road...
  4. Tesla catches fire - takes 6000 gallons of water to extinguish

    Why would anyone attempt to put out an electrical fire with water? I'm not a firefighter, but every internet site I visited to read about this says "Don't use water to put out an EV fire"... I wonder how much water they used to put out a kitchen grease fire? (Don't try this at home!)
  5. What's your Maverick's name / nickname?

    My wife calls our Area 51 Maverick "Twilight". I call it "the Maverick"...
  6. Mothercuddler! Truck is likely a write-off from being rear-ended

    We can usually hear the traffic on 183A at our house. Today it's as quiet as a military formation when the sergeant asks for volunteers... Cedar Park PD posted on Facebook that there have been numerous accidents on overpasses already. And since we are retired, and don't HAVE to get out, we're...
  7. That Viral Tweet About Truck Bed Sizes Over The Years Is Just Stupid

    Yeah, what a revelation (referring to the tweet the article comments about) to learn that SuperCab and CrewCab trucks have shorter beds than SingleCab LWB trucks...
  8. Ordered today: Jan 30, 2023

    Yep - it's nice to have the option to tow a Maverick Hybrid behind our small motorhome. It's both towable AND light enough to be practical.
  9. Mothercuddler! Truck is likely a write-off from being rear-ended

    Not sure you can do that if the insurance company is buying the "wreck"... Typically, the vehicle stays in the body shop until the customer accepts the deal and that "sale" closes.
  10. Mothercuddler! Truck is likely a write-off from being rear-ended

    :ROFLMAO: Marking my Maverick "safe from being rear-ended" today. (Staying off the icy roads in Central Texas today.)
  11. Maverick EB vs Hybrid MPG with fueleconomy.gov Calculator

    That hasn't been my experience. I've found EPA estimates in the past to often be quite optimistic - especially for higher mpg rated vehicles... For example, my 2012 Prius-C is EPA rated as 50/46. Over 6 years of driving it, I averaged around 42 mpg total, with roughly 65% being non-highway...
  12. Maverick EB vs Hybrid MPG with fueleconomy.gov Calculator

    Well, I care about the mpg that my vehicle gets, but I don't much care about what yours gets... 😉 But seriously, I get that some people NEED the flexibility of the truck, and even the EB gets WAY better mileage than other trucks. If there was no Hybrid Mav, I would have happily bought an EB.
  13. Just me rambling on about marked up pricing

    Me too - any time that is available! I figure that the cost per ride is substantially lower when you don't have to wait an hour and a half between rides... Spend extra to skip the line, and in one day you can ride all the rides, then go back and ride the favorites a 2nd time. Contrast that...
  14. $5,000 above MSRP for Lariat Hybrid in Area 51

    ...At least not yet, right? Eventually, Ford will realize they haven't sold out Ecoboost production for '23, and then what happens? Re-open order banks for Eco only, or start allowing dealers to place stock orders? I'm just speculating here - no inside knowledge or insight... And as I...
  15. $5,000 above MSRP for Lariat Hybrid in Area 51

    I do believe the "bubble" is likely to burst within the next six months for the Ecoboost models... Ford is producing more Ecos for '23 than they have current orders to make, and dealers will soon be able to place stock orders for those... When those stock orders start showing up on dealer...
  16. Maverick Welcome Box V.1

    As a general rule, pretty much any "Apple certified" cable will work. I tend to purchase Anker cables for everything, because I've never had one fail me, nor "wear out" over time. I've given away a whole bunch of them to friends and relatives when theirs failed...
  17. Most Mavericks seen in one day?!

    I've seen two multiple times. But my "average" is a lot closer to zero... Still pretty rare to see one on the road, and my wife will tell you I'm always looking... LOL
  18. Shakedown cruise

    Glad you're enjoying your AWD Eco... I'm loving my FWD Hybrid as well.
  19. 5 months since I ordered and still not able to add any packages

    If you placed an order in August (5 months ago), you might not have an "actual" MY22 order, since the order banks didn't open until September 15th... Your dealer MAY have allowed you to give them a "built sheet" ahead of 9/15 so they could place an order for you once the order banks opened, but...
