  1. Torn Between Killer MPG and Building a Killer Truck

    I've had 7 vehicles before the Maverick and it is my first truck. I've taken every one of those other vehicles on dirt roads, including driving a Toyota Celica on lightly maintained dirt roads in Vermont during the winter. I also did some real (but not too challenging) off roading with a stock...
  2. Mabett Side Marker Lights — Now Updated and Available!

    I was just looking at these for my 2024 XLT and in the listing they say it fits the 2025 XL and XLT, just not the other trims.
  3. Interior panel scratches HELP

    That's good to know, I just figured since it was a 2024 it had a few extra test drives and maybe some dealer miles from moving it around / fixing recalls. It wasn't such a high number that I was concerned. I just looked and don't see a sticker with that info anywhere (though I only checked the...
  4. Interior panel scratches HELP

    AAAHHH! Now I feel like you're coming after me next! :LOL: The other bonuses I got were a fingerprint stain in the headliner (I got it about 90% removed with an enzyme cleaner), an electrical connector (RC type) I found under the passenger side floor mat, a single long hair in the back...
  5. Interior panel scratches HELP

    Mine came with door panel and dash scratches from the dealership! I noticed some of them before driving off the lot but they weren't bad enough that it would have stopped me from buying the truck so I didn't mention them (that and social anxiety). But now that I've had it for a few weeks I've...
  6. Enable Speed Limit Sign Recognition on 2025 Maverick XL/XLT using Forscan (DIY How-to Video)

    I can't speak for Apple Maps but Google Maps only shows speed limits when you are actively navigating to a destination / have a route set. Sure, you could always pick a destination before every trip, but it would be a lot nicer if Google would just add the speed limit display as an option to...
  7. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    Yep, AWD would be nice but I don't live where it snows or gets icy (well, maybe one or two days out of the year), and if I do go off pavement it's usually only on graded country roads, so it wasn't worth the added cost to me. The adaptive cruise control would have been a cool feature to have but...
  8. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    Cool, my mom used to live in Kentucky before moving here. We both live about 30 miles from San Antonio and I saw quite a few 2024s available at dealerships there but none had the combination of things I wanted at a price I could accept.
  9. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    I might end up doing that and the salesman even mentioned that, so I'll still get the better price for financing with them but then pay it off and have a lower rate through my credit union. The difference in interest for me wouldn't be nearly as much as you, according to the loan calculator I...
  10. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    Yeah, we are getting better dealer discounts than you guys up North but it still seems there isn't much room for negotiating beyond that. Which is ok with me, like I said in my original post the whole car buying experience is really anxiety inducing for me.
  11. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    Thanks again everyone for your advice and info about pricing. I haven't signed the papers yet but have a Maverick sitting on a lot in Dallas with my name on it! I didn't get my overly optimistic price but was able to stay right at my limit, the MSRP on it was $31,010 and it had a pretty good...
  12. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    Thanks, this is exactly the kind of info I need to hear. I'll keep looking until I find the right one at the right price and just ask if they can do a little better but won't feel like I need to play the haggling games (which is a relief) since it sounds like there isn't much wiggle room to...
  13. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    Yeah they're not completely out of the question, I just haven't exhausted all the options closer to me yet. I also have family in Las Vegas who would probably buy my plane ticket out there if I told them I'd visit, so that's another option.
  14. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    That's great to hear you were able to get such a good deal! What was the $750 rebate for? I saw on one dealerships website that they might have discounts for things like Costco and credit union members, of which I'm both, but I don't know if that was just them or if that's an all of Ford thing...
  15. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    Thanks! The one thing I'm really good at is doing (too much) research! Due to my brain I have a really hard time going into most situations without as much info as I can get. After my last post I did the same as you and did another search, though I've only been going about 250 miles out from...
  16. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    I figured that might be asking too much which is why I am willing to go up to $30,000 OTD if I need to and if it's got a few upgrades that are of interest to me. I'm pretty set on a 2024 and I was a little flexible on the XL vs XLT, but I've only found a few XL hybrids available within 750 miles...
  17. Realistic Best Negotiated Price For A New 2024 XLT Hybrid

    Hi everyone, A quick little bit about me. I'm on the autism spectrum, introverted, have social anxiety, hate being "sold" to, and not very good or comfortable with negotiating let alone playing hardball. Going to a dealership is something I dread, I hate the whole back and forth let me go talk...
