Great insights. Additionally all of the AWD models have a better suspension than the FWD. Independent rear (AWD) vs twist beam (FWD). Front suspensions are the same.

Agree with the different driving experience. RWD V8 is old school. Very few late model vehicles in that config. My last RWD V8 was 1974. Don't miss them at all. RWD V8 does not do well in Midwest winters unless there is extra ballast in the trunk. Most I see nowadays go in the garage in...

Thanks for the the insights. If that option had been offered on XL I might have ordered it. Although the aftermarket tires were about the same price. Bonus I got to keep the steel rims and get free tire rotations.

I'm curious about the Wildpeak tires. To my knowledge the Wildpeak are only OEM on FX4. XL and XLT normally get the Continentals. Did the dealer swap the tires, or did you replace the Continentals immediately? Or is it an FX4 but missing the fender decals? I purchased Wildpeaks to replace the...

Another Sunday, another trip to Church.

I kept the steel. Stock tires are good for smooth dry pavement. Any travel on gravel, mud, snow etc requires better tires. Replaced mine with Falken Wildpeak at 300 miles.

Similar built to mine, except I didn't get the spray in bed liner. Guessing a delivery date is more challenging that guessing a baby delivery day. Delivery is mostly likely in the range of Feb 20 - April 30. Here is my logic: Production is already scheduled through year end. January...

What trim level? XL, XLT or Lariat?

Great find. You may want to post to this thread. As of the last post, they were still looking. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/navy-pier-color-match.29011/

If it were me, I'd use flat black for the speaker grill. Even if the exact paint color was found, a painted surface has different light reflectivity than molded plastic. I worked in injection molding for a few years and learned that an exact match between molded plastic and a painted surface...

Probably designers are spending too much time on social media, doh!

Yes, I know. On the farm, all our trucks are regular cab 8-foot box. That configuration was the standard in the 70's and 80's. The Maverick is not the truck meant for heavy work. I would never consider putting 4,000lbs in the bed of the Maverick, but an F-series will take it.

Other than price, size is best feature. What's incredible is that there is only 12" bed length difference between Maverick and F-150 Crew. For my purposes, never needed that marginal extra space.

Now I get it.... Still not a fan of the front end or the mustache

XLT would have been at least $23K new. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/maverick-price-progression.55587/#post-945433 Still a good deal. Basic well cared for trucks hold their resale. Back in '96 I when I bought my last new Ranger, a good condition 2-3 year old used was not...

Anything 3 peak mountain snowflake rated will give the best traction. Look for this symbol I have Falken Wildpeak AT3W which I really like. (New version is AT4W) The Michelin Cross Climate2 is highly rated, but also typically the most expensive. I chose the Wildpeak over the Cross Climate...

Nice setup, but you're probably pushing the limits of the 400lb tongue weight limit for the hitch. YZ250 is listed as 227lbs and joehauler is 50lbs. Add in ramp, etc and you're probably at about 300lbs. The 400lbs limit is based on a typical 8" receiver drawbar not the extended weight of hitch...

One 4x6 does the job. I haven’t trimmed it yet since it fits good enough. Rolling up the sides is useful sometimes. It does like to lift in the wind. I use a bed cover when not hauling.

Wheels is an easy upgrade. And less $ than XLT. I would buy a 2024 again. I’d have to try the HVAC controls on the 2025 to see how inconvenient they are before deciding.
