  1. Buy Now Before Inflation!

    PM the OP, and he will tell you how.
  2. Buy Now Before Inflation!

    Post of the day, right there!
  3. Upgrading the Backup Camera

    I don't believe it is the same screen on the Sync3 radio, but I'm not 100% certain...
  4. Maverick Backup Camera Quality

    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...
  5. What do you (will you) miss from your old vehicle in the Maverick?

    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...).
  6. New Fender Flare Option

    I think they are fairly useful for smokers... Not so much for the rest of us. And maybe it's just me, but I do not like the look of them.
  7. Maverick Truck Club/Maverick Tumblers

    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.
  8. Upgrading the Backup Camera

    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.
  9. Need more legroom - modify seat or pedals?

    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.
  10. Camper towing -- what types of campers you are pulling and their weight?

    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...
  11. How many Hybrid owners kicking the crap out of the EPA figures?

    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...
  12. Need more legroom - modify seat or pedals?

    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...
  13. Ordered 3 Mavericks - Different Dealerships

    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...
  14. Wireless iPhone CarPlay Setup - Works Perfectly

    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...
  15. Upgrading the Backup Camera

    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...
  16. Maverick Backup Camera Quality

    OMG! I bet you had to shift the gears for yourself, as well! The horror of it all!
  17. No hope. Anyone else feel this way?

    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...
  18. My 2023 Hybrid Maverick Delivered!!!

    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...
  19. No hope. Anyone else feel this way?

    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...
  20. Weight distribution hitch

    @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...
