I went to look at upgrading some interior lights on my Maverick and found no easy way to remove the bulbs. Went to the manual and it says they are not servicable and to refer to my dealer. I am specifically talking about the overhead lamps, front and back. Any ideas or thoughts about...
When I had to have the dealer replace a tire on my truck due to an unrepairable puncture they forgot to put the blue plastic piece back when replacing my spare. It was in my bed rolling around.
I have been meaning to lower the spare and put it back for a while. Everything seems to be holding...
I went on a 16 day cruise and the day before I got back I was unable to access the truck through the app. I figured the truck had gone into a sleep or battery saving mode. When I got home I immediately unlocked the truck and fired her up. Everything came on as usual and nothing seems worse...
I finally jumped on the Mav bandwagon this year. I have been following and wanting one since they came out with the '22 model year. Watched the parade of recalls and issues over that time and when the '25 models were announced it appeared they had addressed most everything that worried me...

When I bought my 2025 Maverick Lariat Hybrid I purchased an extended warranty. This is the first time in my near 70 years of doing this. Why?
1. Fords recent history of recalls, and reliability record.
2. The Lariat has so much electronics and safety related pieces and the cost to repair...
It's cool to find an owner of a Mav that aligns with your own experience. I have a 2025 Lariat AWD with about the same mileage. We have similar likes and dislikes about our trucks. We are both in Calif. We have the same add ons in our vehicles. (Okay, I might have a few more) I too, feel the...
