  1. Small Snow Plow on a Maverick - can I, Should I ?

    When I had my shop, we used to install hitch-mounted snow plows on unibody vehicles. I used to tell these customers the same thing - don't let the storm get more than 2-3" ahead of you and don't try to compact snow stacks with the vehicle. The problem with the Maverick is more about the...
  2. Why are people complaining?

    It's all a matter of perspective, I guess. Yes, there are complaints and sometimes the nature of them is truly picayune. But I'm also a MINI Cooper owner and those groups are far worse. Imagine someone coming here all brimming with excitement because they're in the process of buying a...
  3. Out-the-door price (order, not dealer stock) wiggle-room? Any...or none.

    Did you check with Gervais Ford in Ayer, MA.? They are an MSRP, no-pressure, no mandatory add-ons dealer. I bought my 2022 XLT EB AWD Lux there off the lot as a refused order. There was no ADM, just straight MSRP plus standard fees. Yes, the finance guy pitched extras but it was clear that...
  4. Dealers

    I previously owned a truck and offroad shop that also installed what we sold (we were the only ones in the area that offered installation). I remember one customer coming in for a Putco product, then deciding he could get it cheaper online. A couple of weeks later, he came back with the...
  5. Christmas is close. Let’s hear from from those with no complaints

    Took delivery of a refused order 10/21/21. XLT Lux AWD and no problems whatsoever after 11K+ miles. I just had to deal with the fuel tank and side curtain airbag recalls but both went smoothly.
  6. I Had A Major Issue With The Maverick Hybrid Today, I've Never Heard Of Anything Like This In Any Car!

    I'm reaching waaaayyy back to my days as a component-level electronics tech, but here's a couple of things worth considering. The speakers would not continue producing sound unless something was driving them and they are on switched power as far as I know. The smell of burning and the presence...
  7. Loss of Value

    From the previous posts, it appears your state allows diminished value claims. I think the other consideration is whether it's worth it or not. To judge that, use the normal sites for establishing vehicle value and run your vehicle through twice, once with no reported damage and once with...
  8. Blind Spot Detection System

  9. Updated - 2nd vehicle to pair with Maverick Hybrid, $10k budget.

    This is my spare. My son has the Maverick right now while his SO's car is being repaired from an accident.
  10. Looking for steelies in Mass.

    It looks like Nationwide Recycling in Lancaster has a set. They're priced at $199.00 per wheel, but I think that includes the tires. You can look them up on car-part.com.
  11. 2022 Hybrid vs ecoboost reliability

    My 2022 EB AWD is a fairly early build. I took delivery 10/21/21. The only issues I've had were the recalls for the fuel tank (since I have the SIBL) and side curtain airbags, both of which got taken care of without much fuss by my local dealer. So my experience has been good thus far (11K+...
  12. Where do you put your garage door opener?

    Keychain. I use key fob size opener.
  13. Debating maverick haters is exhausting

    Why bother? Their opinion, unless they've actually owned a Maverick, isn't something I want to spend time or energy trying to correct.
  14. Saw CYBER TRUCK on the road

  15. What model/year did the Kia mirror come from

    Thanks for those videos. I would have liked to use one of those T-connectors for my dash cam but they aren't compatible with the Maverick wiring from what I can see there.
  16. What model/year did the Kia mirror come from

    This prompts a question I've had. There is a power adapter cable available for dash cams, basically using a T-connector from the plug on the back of the mirror. However, I checked the mirror in my 2022 XLT Lux and there is no plug there. So, are these mirror upgrades only applicable to Lariat...
  17. Ford’s rear Lightbar a bust.

    We ran power from the battery primarily because we didn't think about using the 12V in the bed. I think I prefer it that way anyway, since I can have the light bar augmenting the hazards even if the ignition is turned off.
  18. Looking for opinions - 23 Lariat Hybrid I can get now or 24 Lariat Hybrid in December.

    You can do the SIBL aftermarket, so consider that a wash. You don't care about the moonroof, so leave that out of the decision. That basically brings you to one available now with a feature you can't get on the other two but that will have clear value in your neck of the woods. The tradeoff is...
  19. Maverick vs Maverick collision?

    It has happened now. If you haven't seen it yet, there is a post here about a multicar accident triggered by a non-Maverick that drove one Maverick into another. One Maverick driver was injured and hospitalized and her dog was killed by the airbag. The other Maverick driver was less seriously...
  20. Vinyl Protector Spray for Tonneau Covers - recommendations?

    Whatever you choose, make sure it is not silicone based. That will actually damage the cover over time. I typically use Surf City Garage Back to Black and Black Max on my vehicles as well as Aerospace 303. The SCG products are applied rather than spray.
