How did the event turn out? I wish I could have gone. I am planning on going to the cars-n-coffee at Tustin Legacy this Saturday. I was planning on taking the 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC. Yet, I can be convinced to take the Maverick if I know others will be there.
I am an executive member of AYSO soccer. The Southern California EXTRA program finals will be held next Saturday and Sunday. Thus, I expect to be working on one of the soccer fields. I wish I could be at the meetup.
This car was completely stripped and 'restored/modified' to an extremely high standard by industry recognized artisans. Believe it or not, the car has 210K miles on it and looks better than a low mileage one. You can see a bunch of pictures and videos here on Hemmings.
I do love this car but I...
I am going to include one picture of the 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC here (for sale on Hemmings)
My wife and I also own:
2024 Ford Mach-E Select
2022 Ford PHEV Escape SEL
2022 Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG
2002 Mercedes-Benz S500
It's an A.R.E. V-series. It replaces the A.R.E. MX-series I had on it initially.
Note that I copied someone else on MTC and modified the shocks and pivot brackets so that the rear door opens up more (on the V-series shell).
Here is an early picture of the truck with the MX-series shell, with...
@ExpoGuy I have been a Long McArthur Member for almost two years because of the videos Tim has been producing. We have purchased two Mavericks (and I have driven both back) from Long McArthur.
The JCR Offroad engine cover is designed to accommodate all Maverick models. They didn't create a different one for the standard AWD, FX4, and Tremor. The bottom of the bumper for the FX4 and Tremor reaches farther back than the standard AWD. Thus, the bottom of the front bumper on my standard...
@Ford Motor Company, I hope the Ford Motor Company individual monitoring MTC pays attention to this thread because I contend the service experience weighs heavily on brand loyalty. There are two marques in my garage: Ford and Mercedes-Benz.
I own three older Mercedes-Benz automobiles (1977...
We have gone through Maverick purchases four times:
The 2022 XL Hybrid was ordered in July 2021 and purchased in August 2022. I didn't like the Hybrid system, so I sold it and placed a new order.
The 2023 XLT EB AWD XLT was ordered in August 2022 and purchased in January 2023. I currently own...
I live in Orange County, California, and I also had the windows in my Maverick tinted.
Details: LLumar® IRX™ 50 heat-rejecting ceramic window tint on the side and rear windows; AIR 80 (clear) heat-rejecting window tint on the windshield.
For those that asked, it cost $850.
I chose to go with...
I am in Orange County, California.
The only dealer I would consider is Galpin Ford. They have a high enough volume to not burden the sale with unnecessary add-ons and tend to sell at MSRP. I don't have any personal experience buying from them, although I did order a 2024 XL Hybrid from them...
For your information, a vehicle waiting at the train depot for a transport truck happens everywhere. I live in southern California and ordered a 2022 Escape SEL PHEV. It shipped from Kansas City and arrived in Ontario, CA, in a reasonable amount of time. However, it sat in Ontario—32 miles from...

I had the JCR Offroad protection installed on a standard XLT EB AWD (not FX4 or Tremor). I think it is poorly designed, and I plan on replacing it with the Rival.
I still have the OEM panel. Yet, it probably isn't worth shipping from Irvine, CA 92620.
