  1. Newbie Question About Trucks in General

    Good one. But around these parts, it only takes 2-3 minutes to jump start a car, so “back to you…” 🤣
  2. Newbie Question About Trucks in General

    Or… you could just open the door and pass the jumper cables through… (And to quote Bill Engvall: “Here’s your sign…”)
  3. Cancelled order months ago, just got an email that the car was scheduled for production

    I was the guy on the "reverse" side of this same equation... The dealership got a cancellation from the customer, but it was already scheduled so it went forward. I made a deal to purchase it, put down a deposit, etc. But just 2 days before they received the truck, the original order guy said...
  4. Woohoo! Got me a Maverick!

    Well, the Carbonized Gray Maverick arrived at the dealership, and I purchased airline tickets to go pick it up. Sadly, at the last minute, the person who placed the original order decided he "wanted to see it" before officially canceling the order. And, of course, when he saw it, he decided he...
  5. What is your opinion on the Black Appearance Package?

    I'll be extremely happy if the BAP on Lariat has cloth seats. Didn't really want ActiveX to begin with, but went Lariat to be able to get ACC. But since my order acceptance letter says Onyx black vinyl seats, I suspect that the Facebook post is wrong. (Gasp! Imagine that!)
  6. My humble review of my new Velocity Blue Maverick XL

    Aren't they all? 99% of full-size truck owners drive around town with 1 person and zero load in the back. The Maverick is a way better toy for me!
  7. Purchase a $21K 2022 Base Maverick with intent to sell/trade when my 2023 comes in?

    There is a dealer in Virginia who has a whole bunch of XLs on the lot. I didn't check further because I was looking for a Lariat Lux/360. And a week or so ago, I saw another dealer in Arizona that had a whole bunch of White XLs on the lot. Again, I didn't investigate further...
  8. XLT vs. Lariat Debate

    And "XLT" isn't? LOL
  9. XLT vs. Lariat Debate

    And yet my "order accepted" letter from Ford confirming my order for a '23 Lariat Hybrid says "vinyl seats" plain as day... LOL PS - I'd really prefer cloth over ActiveX or even leather (since it's not perforated and there's no vented seat option). But to get ACC, you gotta get the ActiveX...
  10. Have you named her yet?

    My wife suggested "Mañana"...
  11. Have you named her yet?

    I used to have an Audi that we named "Innie"... You kind of have to pronounce it to get it. (And think belly buttons...)
  12. Measurement request

    I'm equally grateful that someone posted this answer to a question I didn't even realize I had... I was thinking that with my tiny garage with its rather odd layout, I too would be in somewhat of a pickle... I was afraid that the only way I could park inside would be to back the truck in. But...
  13. 2023 Ford Maverick - 12 Changes We Need

    I'd prefer it to just default to the last drive mode that I selected. Just like the AC temp stays were I last left it instead of always defaulting to 74Âş or something equally silly. If you (Ford) are worried drivers will "forget" what mode they're in, perhaps you could just have the display...
  14. The Autopian Review - Every Argument I Made To Trade Our Crossover For A Ford Maverick

    Don't tell anyone in the Colorado mountain areas that Subaru's are unreliable. There are probably 40-50 of them that have well over 300,000 miles on them and are still going strong. And my buddy's WRX is a pocket Porsche, and a TON of fun to drive. (Just don't ask him about the mpg thing...)...
  15. What color did you order for your 2023 Maverick?

    Yup... If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy... Lucky for me my wife said "Hey, it's your truck, so get the color you want!" (Helps that there's no "sage green" available - likely her first choice - and that she likes the Cyber Orange pretty well - her 2nd choice.) My daughter just...
  16. Black Appearance Package - Any interior pictures? Thoughts?

    If you look at the Ranger with BAP, the exterior door handles remain body colored. Given that, it would seem the Packaging Guide pictures are correct. I'm pretty convinced the BAP comes with the interior door handles in black, and the exterior ones body-color.
  17. Your age / occupation?

    Forgot to add: 66 years old. Retired IT Exec. Prior to that I was a US Army helicopter instructor pilot / aeroscout pilot. I served during the longest stretch of time since WW1 that the US was not at war and/or involved in a "police action" anywhere around the globe... So I guess we did...
  18. What color did you order for your 2023 Maverick?

    SHH! Don't tell everybody our secrets! They will all change their orders to Cyber Orange and we'll be lost in a sea of orange Mavericks! LOL
  19. Your age / occupation?

    I was wondering how polls get created, so I investigated the process - at least far enough along to figure out how it would work... When you create your new thread, you'll find a link way down at the bottom of the page - look just above the "Post Thread" and "Preview" buttons - that reads...
  20. What color did you order for your 2023 Maverick?

    I'm really glad so few people are picking Cyber Orange. My Maverick will be even more unique.
