But as the video points out, that will only work if you're using a 4-pin trailer connector for your trailer. If you use the 7-pin connector, the door for the connector blocks the 4-pin door from opening. Personally, if I was going to do this mod, I'd tap off the actual circuits for brakes...

Sounds like it might be an alternator or voltage regulator issue on the EBs. I don't think it's the same condition as the hybrids may be experiencing, so I would also suspect it won'g be the same fix.

It's linked, so you can check out the specifics yourself, but I didn't see anything about shape - it just said "frontal area"... I would assume that in aero engineering terms, that would mean "flat plate equivalent area"... A tapered front would reduce it, but fenders increases it, as do the...

I just realized that Ford actually publishes the "aero" limits in their towing guide. I've linked it here. (Kudos to Ford, by the way for such a comprehensive towing guide!) It shows that the Maverick has a 20 sq ft maximum frontal area limitation w/o the 4K tow package. With the 4K Tow...

True, but compared to the "challenges" others have faced getting an order placed properly, it felt like a "win" to me... Time will tell, I suppose.

While my experience at dealerships generally mirrors the "come away feeling dirty" that others have posted, I think that a lot of that depends on the salesperson. Since there are no end to the "bad" examples, I'll provide two good examples: 1) El Dorado Chevrolet in McKinney TX had a salesman...

It sounds to me like the dealer may have been covering your ass... They weren't 100% sure your '22 would get built, so they ordered a '23 in your name. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

Those "$20 a day" rentals turn out to be considerably more expensive than that. I rented one from U-Haul to move some stuff, and the daily total turned out to be over $45. That said, if I only needed it a couple of times a year, that's not too horrible as an alternative to wait out the...

A new Ford Maverick! Doh!

Oooh, man! I remember lusting severely after one of those! Only I wanted to orange one. Absolutely could NOT afford one, so I wound up building my own "equivalent" from a Huffy frame with a banana seat and high-rise bars, and putting a 3-speed hub and "stick shift" on it. Unfortunately, the...

That was cruel! (And very funny!)

I can certainly understand the frustration of the OP and others who placed orders in 2021 and 2022 when the order windows were last open, but still don't have their Mavericks, and have NO IDEA whether they will get them this time around, either. [RANT mode ON] I simply do NOT understand how...

I misspoke. It is the preview order document they gave me that states "vinyl" just above "ebony" on the printout. The actual order acceptance letter says "Black Onyx ActiveX Trimmed Bucket Front-Seats". The point at issue was that ActiveX is fundamentally equivalent to vinyl, even to Ford...

On many vehicles, a moonroof reduces headroom enough that I cannot comfortably sit in it. Not true for the Maverick - I still had plenty of headroom when I drove a Maverick with the moonroof package. Thus I would not disqualify a Maverick purchase just because it had a moonroof. But I would...

No matter how many times I hit the "Refresh all" button, I don't see anything from Ford... I think I'm gonna need a new mouse long before I get the new Maverick!

Yep - I fully understand the information you've repeated in your post. It's all over this forum. My order is a priority 10, as are ALL of the orders ahead of mine in the dealer's order list. I realize that my particular combination of features might or might not get picked by Ford to be...

Well, you’d have to re-order in (twice) by 2025, so you can just wait. After all, the chip shortage will surely be over by then, right? Bueller? Bueller?

Good looking truck!

@FriscoTXJoe I love your signature line! LOL

No clue. So far I've only been able to talk with my sales person, who doesn't have access to the details. Between the Maverick orders and Bronco stuff (with new Super Duty now also drawing a lot of interest) the entire crew is as busy as a one-armed wallpaper hanger...
