  1. maverick at a sports car event.

    Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like you were way ahead of the game and came up with something that isn't quite "right". I'll just wait a bit longer and the aftermarket will surely come up with something better.
  2. maverick at a sports car event.

    I would love for my Mav to have a stance like yours. Can you share part numbers for the springs and specs on the "proper" alignment? I used to have a Colorado with the sport suspension and really enjoyed the way it would take a corner.
  3. Went from "Where are all the Mavericks" to "How'd all these Mavericks get here" this morning.

    As I write this, (a Saturday morning) our Mav is outside waiting for us to enjoy and the great granddaughter I mentioned is here again. We're loving life right now.
  4. Maverick ST prototype (wearing manufacturer plates) spotted at Ford facility?!

    I wouldn't call the omission of paddle shifters a mistake. We live near an intersection and have heard some cars with that option going through the gears as they accelerate away. To me, it sounds like a lot of abuse to the drive line and engine. Personally, it's something I would probably...
  5. Went from "Where are all the Mavericks" to "How'd all these Mavericks get here" this morning.

    We live in the general Youngstown/Warren area of northeast Ohio. Not exactly a throbbing metropolis here. In the eight months I've been aware of Mavericks, I've seen only ONE other one in the area. Went to my barber this morning and among the topics he loves to give his opinion on, (politics...
  6. Maverick ST prototype (wearing manufacturer plates) spotted at Ford facility?!

    What you listed is exactly what I would have opted for if available. I traded in a 2004 Chevy Colorado that had the ZQ8 suspension package for our '22 XLT EB. It came with extra bracing in the frame, wide tires, large sway bars, and a lower stance than a regular Colorado. It would corner like...
  7. Why does audio system sometimes revert to radio upon starting the engine?

    I'm going to experiment with this a little bit by turning the entertainment system off before I exit the truck. Curious to see if it will index the USB and prepare it for play when the system is turned back on. I'm not usually worried about being entertained while backing out of my parking...
  8. Why does audio system sometimes revert to radio upon starting the engine?

    I was wondering why some cover art would show on the screen now and then. A lot more going on here than I would have ever imagined.
  9. Why does audio system sometimes revert to radio upon starting the engine?

    So is this a result of the length of time the files would take to all play through (almost 95 hours) or the number of files the system needs to index (almost 1700) or the total size (just over 9 GB) before it is able to start to play. The part I find most odd is how random the problem is. Like...
  10. Why does audio system sometimes revert to radio upon starting the engine?

    I have a USB stick plugged into the slot just below the info screen on the center stack. It plays back my music just fine. The problem I can't sort out is why the sound system reverts to "radio" about 30 percent of the time when starting the truck. It can happen after just a few minutes of...
  11. How did you first hear about the Ford Maverick?

    I've never had a need for a full sized truck. I got along just fine with a '82 Dodge Rampage, then a couple of Dodge Dakotas followed by a really used up Chevy S-10. The truck I traded in for our '22 Maverick was a '04 Chevy Colorado. When I felt the need for a new truck, I knew Ford had...
  12. Does Ford Motor Company really contact us to discuss problems they see posted on this forum?

    I had a temporary problem with the sound system on our '22 XLT EB and I posted my story to see if the problem was only mine or if others had encountered it. The posting is "Ghost in the machine?" in a sub forum here. I checked for any more comments and found a reply supposedly from Ford. Is...
  13. Ghost in the machine?

    Didn't even think of that going on. It was just strange that everything else seemed to work normally. Just looked at the list of fuses and found two marked as "Amplifier". I was hoping to find a circuit breaker that may have tripped and reset.
  14. Ghost in the machine?

    Had an odd experience this morning. Getting ready to drive and the sound system was dead. Radio, USB stick, no sound. All controls I could think of were checked and pressed to make sure I didn't bump anything. Volume, mute, source. Nothing. Even removed the flash drive, turned off the...
  15. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    Cut some 2X wood to support loads level with the tailgate. A 2X6 46 inches long rests just ahead of the wheel wells and a pair of 2X4's 54 inches long are stacked in the pockets just ahead of the accessory covers. A 1" X 1" notch in each end of the lower one lets the wood rest on the raised...
  16. Maverick FLEXBED Features & Specs

    I just added some 2X to some of the pockets in the bed. I found out that the ones on top of the wheel wells will handle a 2X6 cut to 46 inches long and when I measured from the raised rib of the floor to the top plane of the 2X6, the distance I got is seven inches. I then cut a pair of 2X4...
  17. Installed new DRLs on my Maverick XLT = added strip lights to front grill

    Where did you get the lights? Vendor and part numbers would be a great help.
  18. Had an odd sighting

    I was tending to some banking business at an ATM that is located in what used to be a school parking lot. Plenty of room around all sides of the terminal. I was in our '22 XLT and just when I was about to drive away I noticed a grey Maverick slowly driving past and basically circling me and...
  19. This is what I've done to my Maverick and I like it

    I may have missed the info in here somewhere, so please forgive me if I'm asking you to repeat things. What are the sources for the sill covers and the bug deflector on the front of the hood? Thanks for your time.
  20. Someone else's refused 2.0 Maverick XL is now in my driveway

    This is exactly how we got our Maverick. A buyer couldn't/wouldn't wait and we got a call from the dealer asking if we would be interested in it. We had been told the wait for a '23 XLT hybrid would be four to six months. We agreed to that and settled in to wait it out. The one that became...
