I also talked to ford HQ about the maverick’s boating capability and they assured me that the lariat lux will be able to be used as a personal watercraft.
I don’t think anyone really knows. That one video of the first edition maverick interior in the wild had paper shoved down into the cup holders. I suspect it was hiding ambient lighting in the cup holders which Ford has done on other models but that’s just a guess. This is an area we don’t know...
I had a BMW with a similar material on the seats
pros:
it’s cheaper than leather
it doesn’t age poorly like leather
its easier to repair than leather
cons:
it doesn’t breathe like leather
at ten years into ownership the seats still looked just as good as the day I bought the car while my...
I plan on getting the Yakima overhaul HD kit if it fits the maverick and probably a roof rack as well so I can take my 14’ bonafide anywhere I want to go fishing.
It’s amazing how poorly educated a lot of sales people are on the products they sell especially when it comes to car sales where they would only need to learn a handful of vehicles and their options. I had the same experience when I went to negotiate a deal on my mother’s RAV4 hybrid...
How do people still not understand the difference between a CVT and a hybrid cars’s eCVT? They have been in production cars for twenty years and have mechanically nothing in common with a belt driven CVT.
Did you miss the part where i said “barely existed“ and mistakenly read “didn’t exist”? The average car buyer did not have an on demand AWD system on their vehicle and it was a considered a luxury upgrade if one was even offered at all. Everyone was fine and only portion of the country even sees...
Do we have any details on what the lead time is like between scheduling and delivery? Let’s say a maverick is scheduled early august, how long before the truck arrives at the dealership?
Nope. I’m buying the lariat for adaptive cruise and lane centering. It has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with wanting something resembling self driving for my 50 miles a day of highway travel and four hour long drives to my cabin. I could care less about blind spot monitoring...
These slip and grip AWD systems barely existed a decade ago and now people act like the can’t possibly drive through a dusting of snow without them. its hilarious.
I’m an also not impressed by 26mpg to be honest. It’s not terrible but it’s far from impressive. My f150 gets 20mpg. I personally wouldn’t downsize for that kind of fuel savings. I would be giving up the ride height, ride comfort, cabin space, high residual value and a significant amount of...
