  1. Ford Maverick is MotorTrend 2026 Truck of the Year! 🏆

    I corrected your post... :wink: There are a lot of us, which includes most (all?) on this forum that don't want or need a full size pickup. I've been looking for a Maverick sized option since my wife totaled my Subaru Baja. Especially for a truck, the Maverick is a very comfortable machine to...
  2. Seat comfort

    @SafetyGuy Your wife is lucky. She found a good man.
  3. Seat comfort

    I feel your pain... In your case, the obvious remedy is getting the wife a vehicle that she likes better so she stops driving yours... :wink: You could also put thread lock on the seat adjustments (or welding) to encourage that situation to happen.
  4. Maverick New Vehicle Overview with Ford Rep

    They level of difficulty in finding either may be similar, but the rapidity with which you ascertain their qualifications, or lack of same is decidedly different, as is their impact on your life. With a bad salesman, you know pretty well know right away and can easily walk away with little...
  5. Maverick New Vehicle Overview with Ford Rep

    I know! It is like you 're watching sharks circling with blood in the water... I've noticed that a lot more prevalent at Toyota dealers... :wink: QUOTE="RR - All the way, post: 1261038, member: 10083"] The man knew a great deal more about a Maverick after talking with me for ten minutes. Just...
  6. Maverick New Vehicle Overview with Ford Rep

    That's possible. It is unfortunate if they don't because they could get better access to feedback. I'm thinking that the dealers want to be a primary point of contact, and by keeping them out of the loop, some feathers got ruffled. Who knows, but "official" representation is no longer here.
  7. ... Did anyone else get spammed with errors and then a handtyped apology this past weekend?

    I have the same vehicle, manufactured a few months after yours. My OTA updates were not enabled until today. In any case, I didn't get any of the same error messages.
  8. The One Gift Car People Actually Use Daily (Don’t miss it — grab your discount code!)

    I looked at the site - The mats you order are model specific. Retail price is $149. They come with the fasteners to attach to the factory hold spots. With the 30% discount, they are $108 for the Hybrid Maverick version. I suspect similar or same price for the Eco version, but didn't check...

    True, and this forum is Mav focused, while to Ford, it's one of many models...
  10. MPG Differences for Hybrid, warm to cold, WHY does your MPG drop?

    Winter blend fuel is a relevant factor. This article about Summer vs. Winter Blend Fuel I found interesting. Heated car seats typically use 15 (low) to 45(high) watts, of course that power use cycles so you don't get roasted, and that energy is coming from the EV battery. It's likely that...
  11. Maverick New Vehicle Overview with Ford Rep

    I was contacted by Ford to do a virtual meeting with a "subject matter expert" for any questions or feature explanations. Doing my homework up front, I had a list of topics. Few to none could be answered, like does "slippery mode" get better mileage? "Eco mode is designed for that" was the...
  12. For those that complain about the dial shifter...

    That could also be why you hear no one complaining about it's shifter. They don't need to. They don't use it. The Terrain is still on the lot. :wink:
  13. Ford Maverick is MotorTrend 2026 Truck of the Year! 🏆

    It's the good looking one with adequate room on both sides of the parking space!
  14. Towing over 4k

    The weight rating for the Mavs likely has a limiting factor in the ability of the car to safely move that weight without having overheating problems. If you look at the weight rating of the 2025 Mavs with AWD and the 4K package, the max GCWR as well as the tow weight is a ton higher, with...
  15. Did My eco boost Maverick really beat that hot rod Chevelle SS ?

    Prior owner provided upgrade information. I can tell you that it would spin the tires in all 4 forward gears. Reverse too. I could pass everything but a gas station. I didn't build the performance mods and sold the car 53 years ago. I did just verify that BW in that era produced 4 speed...
  16. What's your Maverick hauling in the bed? [Photos Edition]

    Currently... A bedliner.. :wink:

    Thanks for pointing out what many need to know... Yet another reason to leave the state.

    No. I'm pretty sure you actually have to pay for it... :wink:
  19. Winter is coming! How do you clear the snow on your vehicle??

    For those who think Arizona is a desert, it is, but North of the low desert is high desert and mountains where it snows. Sometime a LOT. Flagstaff averages over 10 feet of snow per year...
  20. Replacing the Hybrid's OEM 12v. Battery

    I didn't say it did, and am aware of that. Maybe there are some folks who were not aware of that. A prior post noted a battery that fit the hybrid with a 570 CCA rating, and an automotive battery's standard designation is in CCA whether it's used for starting or not, because most of them are...
