  1. Rhino vs Line X

    I've had Rhino on truck beds before but have only seen Line X. Rhino is thicker and has more grip than Line X. Can make sliding things out of the bed more difficult. On the other hand, items slide around less. Rhino can be gouged if one gets over zealous with a shovel.
  2. Is The Actual Area 51 Painted This Color?

    I was surprised when I saw the color on 2 different Bronco Sports. I read the color as having some green to it which would explain why most phone cameras pick it up as more blue. Blue/green colors are really difficult to photograph, they always come out blue. I usually have to use a warm filter...
  3. 2022 Maverick order cutoff, all flavors

    Yes, still showing on website but hybrid order cutoff was November 15th. Ecoboosts still xan be ordered. I think I have seen 2023 MY ordering will open around June. For the most reliable updates watch Tim Bartz @fordvideoguy from Long McArthur Ford each Tuesday evening live stream. This us...
  4. Maverick Specialist: Hybrid EPA Certification is 'In', Spray In Liner Confirmation and 'The Queue'

    Not expecting to see it before April, just when I planned for earliest delivery. But hoping for scheduling email sometime in January or February to ease my mind that my order was entered correctly.
  5. Rivian

    Coolest truck ever! They had me with the Gear Tunnel with camp kitchen modules! Plus so many other thoughtful touches, power, & looks. <sigh> Alas, if I could only afford to buy one.... The Maverick fits my budget and current driving needs.
  6. Hybrid Transmission Question

    Regarding creep at a complete stop: I am assuming there will be creep because the little button on the center console that has the "hand" symbol (the one that many reviewer don't know what it's for) is to hold the vehicle stopped with the driver's foot off the brake. It's in the manual.
  7. Hybrid Maverick towing capability tested by TFL

    Excellent! The test vehicle is pretty much the same as what have ordered. I didn't see any trailer sway during braking. Comforting to know since there were no brakes on the trailer with just the 4 pin connector. I too would like to know what tires?
  8. Hybrid power, how does it feel?

    I only have a general understanding of the car engines (much more comfortable with old carburetor style engines) and I found this video was super helpful in understanding how the hybrid system works even if I don't understand all the nuances of the mechanics. Thank you! I am wondering how the...
  9. Cargo bed slide outs?

    Anyone considering cargo slide outs? I've been kicking around different options for using the Maverick bed. Thinking that slide out drawers could be anchored with the bed tie downs and used as chuck box and gear for camping. Maybe with a plywood platform on the 2x4s in flexbed slots with...
  10. AREA 51 Maverick Photos Thread

    Thanks! I agree, the top photo is closer to the Bronco Sports I've seen.
  11. How will the hybrid front wheel drive handle in snow ???

    I drove a RWD Ford Aerostar with snow rated all season tires with extra siping in a rural snowy area for years and it did great. Only ever chained up once. I now live in the high desert where we might have only a dozen or two days where traction is a possible issue. I'm considering the same...

    These mught be the way to go with a Maverick. https://sylvansport.com/go-camping-trailer/
  13. AREA 51 Maverick Photos Thread

    I saw two Bronco Sports in Area 51 on Tuesday. First time I've seen the color in person. I was surprised at how much more "teal" the color is. Your photos show the color well. Most phone cameras register blue/green colors as blue. My question to those who've received theirs is how does it look...
  14. XLT upholstery and pets?

    I would love to hear from those who have their trucks and have dogs on how well the XLT upholstery is fairing . Is fur working it's way into the upholstery? Or does it come off easily? I currently have cloth seats in my Subaru and dog hair is very difficult to remove as it works into the...
  15. Financing Suggestion for Ford considering the long wait for our MAV’s

    If you are ordering a hybrid, order now Wait is 4-6 mths. I ordered last Monday hoping for delivery by April if not sooner.
  16. Where's everyone from the Southwest?

    Reno, NV Is there another thread for northern NV? Or just not much interest here? Dealers around here don't seem terribly knowledgeable but the first Ecoboosts have flown off the lots.
  17. Dealer wouldn't take my order and said hybrids won't be available...

    I just placed my order yesterday and received my confirmation from Ford. I've been told 4-6 mths which is just when I would like it and why I ordered now instead of waiting.
