God bless BlueXL!! I am 78 years old, since my childhood, I have always considered myself a car person. I have owned 20 automobiles and 5 boats, give or take, and I NEVER BOUGHT ONE with the criterion of resale value. I bought every one with only three criteria: price, functionality, and...

I agree with Skupking. I HAVE to have my soft folding tonneau, and I will wait them out. This is ROTTEN on Ford's part. My Dad is rolling over in his grave. He bought Fords his entire life, until be bought a 1958 Edsel. He was so mad, he never bought another Ford, and told me not to. Well...

Sheeesh! Being colorblind, I see a whole lot of shades of BROWN. I think that I will like my silver XL, mainly for its "coolness" sitting in the sun, and silver doesn't show dust like the darker colors. I am guessing that the color-matching water bottles will be bought for FOUR PAYMENTS of...

Dano, I feel you pain. I have to laugh. Many years ago, I had one of our agents give me a short ride in his Jeep Wrangler CJ (the WWII type) from the Pentagon across the bridge to our office at 14th and Constitution. By the time we arrived, I couldn't walk upright. I told him that he would...

I'm glad you said it, Rick, and not me. My language would not have been nearly as polite as yours.

In a slightly related item, Weathertech now has the floor mats available, front only, and only in black. But, it's a start... ($109)

Thanks Rk. It sounds like I will only need to carry ONE programmed key on my key chain, as I have done for the last 30 years or so. The valet key is worthless, and can stay in my dresser, and if I get a wheel lock key, I will keep it in the console storage. I used to always keep an extra...

Hey Folks, Thanks to the Forum, I received notice of the on-line owners manual. I read it, all 533 pages. I understand all of it, with the exception of the very beginning. FOUR KEYS? I am expecting the dealership to give me two sets of keys that will let me (a) enter my vehicle, (b) start...

Hey Folks, Yesterday, I found out - thru this forum - that the bed liner that I assumed was standard equipment (based on all the photos I had seen) is NOT standard equipment. My order went to Ford nearly 2 months ago, so interrupting the order does not seem wise. So, I contacted my dealer. No...

Damn!! Thanks, Balu. I have seen 50-100 photos of the XL bed, and every one of them had the [as it turns out OPTIONAL] spray liner, so I just assumed that it came with the truck. So, I have contacted my salesman (voicemail) to get back with me right away, as I don't know if he can install the...

Thanks, Balu. Now I am REALLY confused! Every photo I have seen of the bed, it has a dull, "porous" surface look to it. Are you telling me that the bed will be the same shiny clear-coat surface that is on the rest of the truck ????!!!! Please excuse my ignorance, but this is my first truck

I think I have said this before, but I will get used to not having cruise control, as I left Texas' wide open spaces and now live in Maryland, with a turn in the road every 50 yards. As for the steelies, I have had British sports cars all my life, with wire wheels, so these steelies are dying...

Thanx for the XL photos, as that is the model I ordered. Well, looking at the headlights, I would guess that replacing a headlight bulb is no longer going to be 35 cents, but is now going to be a $2,000 component. I still haven't heard anything from Ford, and am starting to get antsy.

Well, I guess it is time for me to disagree. I bought the bare-bones XL, and my primary option WAS the soft tonneau cover. I bought the Maverick for one reason, to carry my 10-foot fishing kayak. When not hauling the yak, the tonneau will be on, and stay on, as I can put groceries in the...

Thanks, OJF. Now I know what to expect. Disconcerting: I understand that the tonneaus are dealer installed, not factory installed. My Maverick was my dealer's first Maverick sale, which means that my tonneau installation will be his first crack at installing it... Thanks again. That is why...

Good point, Lappo, about the color. My Mazda dealer had a metallic-colored Miata in the showroom window that would go from black to blue to green, depending upon the angle of the sun. Weird.

Have any of you heard from Ford? When I bought my Maverick, I told my dealer that I needed as much advance information as I could get on delivery, as I am selling my current car to Carvana, which means a few days without a car and without any money. My dealer assured me that as soon as my...

Yes, Marty is right. This is where the bean counters take over. They have years of journals and ledgers that will tell them exactly where their bread is buttered. As one of the few XL buyers, I am hoping that they do what my Dealer told me and built the ORDERED trucks first before they start...

Is THAT what my tonneau cover is going to look like? I bought the "soft" cover. Am anxious to know what the tonneau is going to be.

Color-wise, I had no choice. I ordered the Silver. Since giving up my 2-car garage condo 2 years ago, and moving to my apartment WITHOUT COVERED PARKING, I have to go with a light color, and I don't like white. My last two cars have been silver, and I have been very happy with them for both...
