6’3”/230lb. XL Maverick, find it pretty comfortable except the bottom of the seat could be a little longer. (Thigh support) Nothing deal-breaking though.

One year old, just over 11k miles. No issues so far.

Got mine done about a month ago, after the gauge cluster died. No problems so far, and I’ve seen the MPG bump also. (From 42 up to 45)

Green color is cool, but that body color part under the grill looks tacked on. The headlights look incomplete also, no real need for that downward swoop in the headlight lens.

Nice - Body color trim, though I’d question the durability of the painted bed rails, rather have the black plastic there. Bad - That body color U section around the grill, looks tacked on, the headlights should continue around to the grill IMHO. Barf - Those wheels! Yuck…

I posted a thread a while back where I estimated that if every person registered on MTC (going by # of people on member list page) had a problem with their Mav it would only account for about 5% of total Maverick ownership. And that was going by sales # from middle of last year. Want to talk...

Well I was waiting for my next oil change to get the recalls done, but my instrument cluster went out driving home from work yesterday. The fuse checked out okay so I guess I’m getting the recalls done next week. The actual needles and the idiot lights still work, but there is no backlight for...

TLDR version: got 42.5 mpg on dash meter over 9,994.x miles, but my gauge is 2mpg high by manual calculation so its an average of 40.5mpg, all but the last month or so without a tonneau cover. Probably 50/50 highway and local roads. I’ve been letting my Trip 2 run since picking up my Maverick...

Yeah it shouldn’t be an issue to begin with. Apparently a Ford thing not just the Maverick, I’ve seen some videos on YouTube where people were having battery drain problems with an F-150.

TLDR: It took up to 4x as long to perform the same set of tasks on a touchscreen vs analog (2005 Volvo). According to the original European article the driver also looked further down when using many touch screens (portrait ones the worst).

Haven’t had any deep sleep issues so far (almost a year old). But I also have all the connectivity stuff turned off, and uninstalled Ford Pass.

Yup, no physical knobs or buttons for primary controls, I’ll pass. That was a big reason I didn’t even consider the Santa Cruz.

Yep, not our steelies.

I’ve given up on counting how many Mavericks I see, pass by one almost every day now. :cool:

Yeah that’s pretty much how low gear mode works on any car. Haven’t driven to the mountains (NC) in the Maverick yet, but I-40 has a stretch steep enough to have runout slips for the tractor trailers. We’ve done it in our Highlander and previous CRV, both would rev up to several thousand RPM...

Have these in both of our cars, work great and doesn’t scratch the console side when adjusting the seat between the wife and I.

23 Hybrid is going to need her next oil change in a couple thousand miles, was going to wait and get the recalls done then. Figured they should have any bugs ironed out by late spring.

Yes, though TBH I’m getting old enough to want a step stool of some kind to save my knees getting back down. :oops: Not sure how the people with full size trucks do it.

https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/maverick/2022/how-to-videos/video-library/more-vehicle-topics/6310911896112?name=tailgate-load-limits/ According to this Ford video it’s 400lbs down, 500lbs halfway. FWIW I’m pushing 240 and haven’t had any issues climbing I or out of the bed.
