  1. Temperature Digits…..

    Much simpler here in Texas. It's hot. Period. You want the A/C on. Period. 🤪
  2. Confusing Info

    What do you mean by "owners direct certificate"? I've never heard of this. Are you perhaps referring to the Private Offer for those whose '22s were scheduled, then cancelled at the end of the production year?
  3. Pretty sure this is the hybrid record for MPG of a whole tank. Just the wrong direction.

    Perhaps you are safe driving at 85+ mph on public roads, but do your REALLY trust that ALL the other drivers you'll be around are A) competent, B) maintain their vehicles properly, and C) are aware enough to check their mirrors before pulling out in front of you, or doing something else that is...
  4. Temperature Digits…..

    If not having an "always visible" temp readout bothers you, the dial shifter isgonna blow your mind! But seriously, I'm also an "old dog" and found that it took about 5 seconds to get used to both "features."
  5. Maverick sales dwarfs Santa Cruz in Q1 2023 with 70% market share

    Truck and "sex appeal" in the same sentence? Sexy is not a word I would ever associate with any truck... But then again, I don't understand the song "I like big butts and I cannot lie," either. Probably a "me" problem.
  6. Temperature Digits…..

    I'm curious how knowing the outside temperature helps you to set the desired temperature for the vehicle's HVAC system?
  7. VERY, VERY, BIG Vs. SMALL. I like small!!

    A couple of days ago, I was at CostCo with my Maverick. So nice being able to load boxes of stuff into the bed without having to lift them so high! Parked right next to me was one of those big ol' "Bubba" trucks with oversized-wheels and tires, plus a fairly substantial lift. The drive...
  8. Issues with flat towing?

    Not to mention that "regenerative braking" does NOT drain the battery. The whole point of regenerative braking is to actually charge the battery... I think they are wrong, and that something else is going on. By the way, my Toyota Prius C manual specifically prohibited flat-towing. Just...
  9. 600 Miles Per Tank Hybrid Maverick club

    Good point - I forgot about that one! (And I even have ACC...)
  10. 600 Miles Per Tank Hybrid Maverick club

    The only time I'm aware of that the brake lights come on when you're NOT on the brake pedal is if you use the "Auto-Hold" feature, and use the brake to stop. Once you are fully stopped, you can take your foot off the brake pedal, and the brake lights remain illuminated (and the brake remains...
  11. First thing you did/doing to your Mav

    That's a shame... Plenty of people would have taken them off your hands to use with winter tires... Coulda made a couple of bucks there!
  12. Told Im waiting till 2024

    IF (big IF there) they actually placed an order on your behalf, I think you've got about 50/50 odds of getting a Hybrid in 2023. But if you change to EB, your odds would improve to almost 100%, since they still plan to build a LOT more EBs than they have orders for at the moment. Only you...
  13. Maverick sales dwarfs Santa Cruz in Q1 2023 with 70% market share

    To me, the Maverick and Santa Cruz are completely different approaches to the same market - which has voted overwhelmingly for the Maverick's approach. I really don't find the SC to be "hideous" even though I strongly prefer the styling of the Maverick. In the Sage Gray color, it's at least...
  14. New Tremor Arrived But Passed

    OK - that makes a lot more sense and answers many of the questions being asked here. Your initial post implied you just didn't like the price (which you certainly should have known when you placed the order). But actually not liking the truck when you finally got to see one for the first...
  15. Cab spoiler installed

    I'm right there with you, though my aerodynamics classes were in the early '70s, and much of it has cycled into the "dead zone" in my brain...
  16. Cab spoiler installed

    That's way better than one acquaintance, who I would swear that 75% of everything he knows was made up right there on the spot...
  17. Actual % of Mavericks built?

    The allocation thing is just weird to me... If I understand it correctly, the formula seems to reward those dealerships that got more allocations the previous month, and punish those who did not receive allocations. That hardly helps to ensure every dealer has a chance at a vehicle... It...
  18. First thing you did/doing to your Mav

    Pretty sure he was joking... We're just ragging on each other.
  19. My chili pepper red has arrived!

    Yeah, not too many options, unless you go with the BAP to get black seats. Lariat gets desert brown ActiveX seats XLT and XL get blue/black cloth seats
  20. First thing you did/doing to your Mav

    Auto headlights that are designed for LEDs are actually less prone to causing "glare" in opposing drivers' eyes than "normal" headlights that have their incandescent bulbs replaced with HID or LED bulbs. With purpose-built LED lights, the manufacturers design lenses to focus the light where you...
