  1. Salespeople “fiction” add yours here

    Public Service Announcement: As the person who initially mentioned the potential "$5,000 deposit", I'd like to remind everyone that when I did so, I stated that is would not deter the flippers, and could negatively impact real buyers, so it was not an answer to the professional flipper...
  2. Texas Steelies for sale - Austin, TX - $200

    Posting a price might help you sell them faster. For myself, I rarely look at unpriced ads, and almost never respond to one that doesn't include a price. I figure if they really wanted to sell it, they know what price they expect to get. If not, they are probably in the "if you have to ask...
  3. Gift for getting the airbag recall repair done.. YETI tumbler!

    Sadly, it was a fairly expensive Yeti... But I've got a Maverick Lariat / Lux Hybrid in my garage at a price I can live with, and absolutely love it, so there's that... I may or may not win the Hybrid build lottery and get one of the two others I have on order... If I do, my wife and I will...
  4. Lariat Owners: Was It Worth The Extra $$?

    It would be ridiculous for me to make a post on MTC stating that I don't want a Maverick because I can't stand the way center screens have poor resolution, low contrast, and glare problems, based solely on the center screen in my 2012 Toyota Prius-C – which did indeed have all those...
  5. Lariat Owners: Was It Worth The Extra $$?

    Sounds like it's definitely adjusted wrong, which can happen if the windshield gets replaced and the sensors are not re-aligned... Congratulations. I'm somewhere upwards of 2.5 million miles. Been in a few accidents, but none were I was at fault. Knock on wood!
  6. Ford Maverick windshield and dash rattle

    Right - minus all the features like air bags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, front wheel drive (or all-wheel drive), anti-theft features, backup cameras, and a host of other features that are standard on everything today... The equivalent of that Nova today is probably a...
  7. Which floor mats should I get?

    I got the SmartLiners, and they fit exceptionally well, with excellent coverage. However, I do find them to be a bit slippery if your shoes are damp (morning dew), so I might not choose them in the future.
  8. Gift for getting the airbag recall repair done.. YETI tumbler!

    My airbag recall was done right before I took delivery in December (build date was 6/28/22, delivery date was 12/7/22). I received the Yeti yesterday - a total surprise, since I didn't really have to "wait" at all, other than it taking a week or so for the recall to be marked "complete" on my...
  9. Lariat Owners: Was It Worth The Extra $$?

    But that's NOT how it works, either. I can't speak for the Taco he drove, but the 6-7 other ACC-equipped vehicles I've driven (including my Maverick) do NOT match speed with the vehicle in the lane beside you - only the one directly ahead of you.
  10. Paid our Mav the ultimate compliment today...

    Yeah... My wife and I were talking about what we would do if we won the Mega Millions, and she said "You'd probably buy me a Maverick hybrid." I reminded her we have two on order, and she said "Yeah, but I meant THIS year..." LOL She's a funny lady.
  11. Ford Maverick windshield and dash rattle

    Seem like click bait? :ROFLMAO:
  12. Ford Maverick windshield and dash rattle

    It's really hard to compare prices of cars from different eras... That '71 Nova (which with a $3100 price tag would have been a pretty heavily optioned model - my '71 Maverick price was a whisker under $2,000) would not have had air bags, anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control...
  13. Lariat Owners: Was It Worth The Extra $$?

    Would you prefer it to maintain the programmed speed and force you to slam on the brakes? If so, you can easily disable the "advanced" features to turn ACC back into "regular" CC with settings menu through the steering wheel controls. I haven't had any issues with the ACC "fighting me" to do...
  14. Lariat Owners: Was It Worth The Extra $$?

    I'm sorry I offended you with my lame attempt at humor... And it WAS an attempt to be funny - note the 'must be an ecoboost' at the end... PS - reading old unread posts in MTC is how I'm passing time waiting for my Maverick to be delivered.
  15. Recall and mileage

    I live in Texas, so I have zero experience with snow tires, but have been purchasing "low rolling resistance" tires for my previous ride (Prius-C) under the (possibly mistaken) belief that low rolling resistance meant better gas mileage. Hoping I'm not wrong on that... I thought that the...
  16. Lariat Owners: Was It Worth The Extra $$?

    Seriously, 1600 miles in 12 hours is AVERAGING over 133 mph! That's faster than the average race lap speeds at more than one Formula 1 track! Must be an Ecoboost!
  17. Infotainment Screen Angle...

    I'm coming from a Prius-C that had the screen angled to the ergonomically correct position for optimal viewing... Unfortunately, that also meant that the steeply raked windshield allowed so much light to reach the screen that it was almost completely unreadable in the daylight. Of course, it...
  18. Ford Maverick windshield and dash rattle

    If that sound is so annoying to you that you have to make a video about it, and then won't even give the service department a chance to address it, then you should get rid of the truck while you can still get at least what you paid for it... Seriously. Life's too short to be that miserable...
  19. TSB 22-2493 issued for 2.5L Hybrid Maverick grabby brakes (at or below 6.2 MPH)

    You may have hit upon the reason I haven't really noticed any "grabbiness" in the brakes on my Hybrid... I have a steep driveway, and then two more steep downhills before we get out of the immediate neighborhood. So I'm definitely using the friction brakes right away, and could be drying the...
  20. Am I the only one having an issue with Over The Air radio updates?

    I've tried doing the "over-the-air" update to the Sync3 system in my Lariat Lux Hybrid several times. It shows as "connected" to my home Wi-Fi network with a good signal, but it keeps reporting "No update available" when I select the "check for updates" menu option. That is really annoying...
