Yeah, I've got the Lariat Lux pkg with Sync3, and I have zero issues with the clarity of the rear view camera. I'm pretty sure it's the XL/XLT display that is "low resolution" and not the camera. Regardless, unless you're trying to read the labels on your trailer hitch as you back up, the...
Previous vehicle was a 2012 Prius-C. I miss absolutely nothing about that car... Maverick Hybrid even beats it on average mpg thus far (and I have barely driven it in town yet...).
Received my pair of black "Maverick" mugs today. Look really nice. I will enjoy them. Even my wife (who rolled her eyes when I told her I'd ordered them) thought they looked great. She liked the laser etching.
Well, I'm certainly not tone deaf (nor "actual" deaf from listening to stereo systems cranked up to Warp Factor 10 all the time), and I find the Sync 3 system in my Lariat to be perfectly acceptable. It's not "concert quality" for sure, but it's not annoying or anything.
True - I probably used 10-way because I read it in the post right before mine, and wasn't really thinking...
Oddly enough, I only noticed yesterday that the passenger seat also raises / lowers with the forward lever beside the seat.
Mine is a Hybrid, so I do not plan on towing a camper. Instead, I plan to pull the Maverick behind my camper (a small Jayco Class C on the Chevy 4500 platform).
I've seen posts recommending Aerolite camping trailers. But if I were really thinking of pulling a camping trailer behind my...
One "interesting" thing I've noted is that when the HVB seems to be close to full charge, it is very difficult to to brake from over about 45 mph without going into the "mechanical brakes" part of the dial (white dot at the bottom of the green arc). Keeping the pointer in the green barely slows...
Can't help you, because I've got the Lariat with the 10-way seat, and it is the only vehicle I've ever driven where I cannot reach the pedals with the seat in the rear-most position...
Changing from XL to XLT should NOT re-set your order date. According to @fordvideoguy, changing the chassis type from FWD to AWD (or Tremor 4WD) is the trigger that WOULD cause your order date to re-set. Staying with the hybrid, but moving from XL to XLT should improve your odds slightly, but...
I have a Lariat Lux, which includes the wireless charger pad on the left side of the tray below the dash. It makes for a really nice setup when combined with the wireless CarPlay adapter I purchased (it's this one from Amazon). My phone links within a few seconds of starting the car, and I've...
I truly don't see an issue with the quality of the back-up camera or display in my Hybrid Lariat. Could use more light at night, but there are upgraded LEDs available to solve that, and I plan to order them... Just as soon as my wife stops checking every incoming Amazon package and commenting...
Oh, I'm not absolving the dealers - not at all.
I'm just pointing out that the change from FIFO to 100% allocation-based came well after the order books closed. Ditto for the change to the allocation criteria. And ditto (again) for the build allotments. When the ordering window opened, I...
My wife's order (see below) is for Cactus Gray, but after living with our Area 51 Maverick for a while, she says the A51 is growing on her, and she might even prefer it. It doesn't show dirt nearly as much as CG does. The only reason she might still want the CG is to "stand out" more - make it...
I find it hard to blame the dealers for over-selling their allocations (hybrid or otherwise), when Ford couldn't tell them what their allocations would be for even January 2023 deliveries until several months AFTER the MY23 order window closed. For the previous 2022 model year, Ford had...
@GPSMan, I really respect you for your knowledge and thoughtful opinions here on MTC. You've been extremely helpful to me in learning about my truck.
But I'm sorry - I have to strongly disagree with your "best" advise above: to just hook up my largest trailer and just do a test run / test...
