I drove a Tacoma a couple of weeks ago and was not impressed anymore. I have owned two of them (1st gen and 2nd gen) but the new Tacoma (3rd gen) isn't what the old ones were in comfort and quality. What I didn't like: 1. The way you sit in the Tacoma is more car like than truck like. 2...

I would think companies will begin releasing their models soon. Personally I stay away from Ford aftermarket stuff in general. I find better quality for less or same price Plus it depends on the fabric. I prefer seatcovers with a little neoprene in them since I live in a state with high...

Can't wait for more seat cover choices. It will help snazzy up the XL cloth seats for us XLers.

Manufactured by Snug Top. They are just like Leer etc. snugtop.com. Don't know if they will sell it direct or making it for FORD to add another markup to it. Leer and ARB will be hot on their heels to get their version out. They will go direct to consumer.

Don't know if his came from the factory with this black finish or if he did it but it is a sharp finish. When the rims hit the sun they have a little bit of a dull shine to them. Hoping mine can come out this good either DIY or body shop. Credit Roadchoseme youtube channel. If I could...

Having the steelies plasti dipped on my XL like the new Galdiator Australia trip build on Theroadchoseme youtube channel. Very sharp looking. Some protection underneath. Forest roads are notorious for throwing rocks etc. Hoping someone makes a table insert attachment for the tailgate. I...

We are getting bombarded by Santa Cruz commercials now. Hyundia has a headstart and are using it to their advantage. I see the Santa Cruz buyer and the Maverick buyer as two different people anyway. Informal poll in our neighborhood has it 6 Santa Cruz to 4 Mavericks. It is easy to see why...

Ive read in a few places that XL has the space it just doesnt come with plastic cubby. Will need to unbolt panel and insert cubby after market

Im in this boat. I want the Maverick to work for the type of off road adventure my wife and I will do but also looking at midsize trucks If you dont fall for the tricks Ford plays on option packages Ive priced a Ford ranger xl extend cab 4x4 with rear lock at $30,500 before negotiating. The...

Its a pickup. All pickups are a truck but all trucks aren't a pickup. Growing up, if my grandfather told be to bring the pickup around and I brought the 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck around he would give me the "You idiot look" The pickup was used to go "pickup" smaller items at the grocery store or...

Depends on what aftermarket front bumpers hit the market or a plastic trim piece you can insert/glue in place since you will have to cutout to get to hooks All assuming there is a bolt on underneath Anybody have a 3d printer who wants to sell trim pieces?

Give it a go. I am not even close to being a carpenter but have learned by accident. A good tape measure and carboard template does wonders. Then get the plywood, trace the cuts and us a router for weird cuts. Screw and glue it together. Sand it. Apply quality hinges. Viola!!!!!

Thanks probity! I didn't know a full tank of gas is included in calculations. Looks like I am going to win a few beers from the boys tonight in a little trivia question and bring up some more ribbing on their pavement princesses low payload sticker They just can't understand how their king...

Not yet. Nissan is launching the Frontier the exact opposite of the Maverick. It will be at dealer lots in about 10 days but no build sheet on page or spec sheets that I am aware of at this time. The TFL guys did a vlog towing it but they were short of numbers too. It has put a dent in my...

Yes. I did the equation with 2.0l AWD 4k tow package and the number came to #3098. Unfortunately the limitations of the Maverick are beginning to show in my situation and probably others. Not real happy about it but adjustments can be made.

Ducface. I believe there is a site on Ford that will do the calculations for you but here is the equation for quick math. GCWR=Curb weight of truck+ weight of what is in the truck (People, luggage etc) +tongue weight of trailer+object towing including trailer. GCWR, Curb weight of base...

No you are understanding the dilemna. The Maverick was always going to have a little give in take in the truck world. The answer was how much give and take it would have for each individual/family decision. Ford isn't misrepresenting true capability because like all Auto companies they say up...

No. Im just starting to do the math now that some real numbers are out and trying to show others that are new to towing how the equation works. There has been a lot of questions and people pushing the tow limit number if they had no payload in the truck. If you add a tank of gas around 100...

Good to see some numbers coming out. It is almost noon here so my math skills may be average by now. Towing trailer weight has to be less than 810 if payload is maxed out in this set up. Numbers come from tech sheets. GCWR for Hybrid 6000 total pounds (Ford Maverick Tech Specs) Base Curb...

I reached out to them and the gist of the answer was: We are putting all of our resources in the key players of adventure/overlanding. IE: Toyota products (4runner/tacoma) Jeep (Gladiator and 4 door wrangler) Fourwheeler project M camper and competitors. They mentioned they are eyeing...
