  1. I ordered a Santa Cruz… should I still order a Maverick in Sep?

    Go with your gut and stay with the Lariat Hybrid edition. You will be happier once you receive it. Many points, but the key points: > Latest Ford hybrid technology (SC does not have); > Pricing: my 2022 Lariat Hybrid First Edition (requires Lux Pkg) was $34,160 ($37,200 out the door), deduct...
  2. Ford OEM tailgate letters

    You are correct. I installed the Stainless Steel kit. Mirror shine day and night. Letters are raised and very solid. The stainless steel side is covered to prevent scratches during shipping and installation. Love them, but yes, just a tad overpriced when I bought them from accessories.com...
  3. Will order a 2023 Lariat Maverick. Any good SoCAl dealer to recommond?

    I live in Southern CA where dealers sell many more vehicles than Mid West. I realize they say allocation has no bearing, but IMO and my experience, it did. NOW, I also know customers in Southern CA who ordered in August and received theirs in May and June waiting a lot longer than me. Sorry...
  4. Fit 2 infant/toddler car seats in back seat?

    I see you will be ordering a XLT. I ordered the Lariat Hybrid First Edition in Rapid Red. No regrets whatsoever (No more Rapid Red, and FE only happens once, right?)
  5. Construction of 2.5 liter cylinders

    Why worry about it? If it's so bad to concern you, sell your Mav. Oil consumption is not a bad thing as long as it's not an external oil leak. Adding 1-2 quarts in 7500 miles keeps cylinder walls well lubricated so helps lessen wear over time.
  6. Fit 2 infant/toddler car seats in back seat?

    Back seat is set up with 2 LATCH systems (L & R). The tether is behind the folding seat back bench. Rear facing car seats will not adversely affect the distance of the front seats or legroom. It is pretty roomy. I'm 6' tall and have plenty of legroom in the back when the front seat is set...
  7. If we have a VIN do we place a 2023 just incase?

    No need. Call Ford if you are not sure .... hear he from the horse's mouth (pun intended).
  8. Normally on what day of the week Ford send in production email?

    Thursday (at least back in the day :) ) ..... not random.
  9. Will order a 2023 Lariat Maverick. Any good SoCAl dealer to recommond?

    Just as a reminder, many CA dealers received units way before Long McArthur because of larger sales volume thus larger allocations. So do not be surprised if you wait longer. Just sayin' what my experience was like.
  10. Will order a 2023 Lariat Maverick. Any good SoCAl dealer to recommond?

    Recommend Tuttle-Click Ford in Irvine (call Reza) or Auto Nation Ford in Tustin. Not sure in LA.
  11. Is the front fender marker light a turn signal as well?

    European made cars usually have the side marker on the quarter panel located where Ford places the black trim level ensignia. Domestic car makes do not normally utilize the TS feature for the side marker.
  12. Are power ports or USB ports on while vehicle is off?

    Depends if it is a Hybrid or EB. I know with my Lariat Hybrid, with the iPhone plugged in and in the cradle, the power goes off after a certain time. When I return and open the door, the power comes back as the iPhone audio pings me after I open the door (front doors). Not sure how EB works.
  13. Passenger side wiper blade

    Maybe an adjustment on the wipers themselves. Just looked at mine. The right side is just above the black while the driver side is about 1-1.5" into the black. Visit to the dealer? Not sure. Maybe ask FMC.
  14. Interior lighting when door opens

    Just checked inside my FE. I had an experience where the rear seat interior light would not go off after my big dog hit his head on it. Found the cover & switch clearance is very tight. Once I fixed it, it took 30 seconds to cycle off (from the setting). I double checked it using the...
  15. New Maverick Recall: 2.5 Hybrid Engine Fire Hazard [Updated w/ Safety Recall Notice to Dealers]

    All articles do not say cracked block, don't know where you heard that. Ford said it was crankshaft oil leaking. Suggest reading all the articles on MTC from last week to get the correct information. All the articles come from the same source: Ford. Owners will receive a recall notice to...
  16. Interior lighting when door opens

    Not sure if you are referring to the interior ambient lighting. Saw something on this in Owners Manual Page 99. Currently, I have not issues on my FE.
  17. Keyless touch entry question

    Both front doors work, know this for sure. Unlock AND lock provided you have the key within distance.
  18. Maverick or Ranger?

    Just my 2 cents: Depending on how heavy the boat is, you may not be able to use either the Mav or Ranger. If equal or less than 1500 lbs, the Lariat Hybrid would give you great fuel economy. Also, I hear the Mav has better interior room than the current Ranger (we will see if that changes when...
  19. Long Time Lurker, First Time Poster

    Strongly suggest ordering from a dealer who SELLS a lot of vehicles since allocation is a KEY element on fulfillment. In So CA, its faster than NV or IN or WY or KS etc. you get my point. So be open to sending your order to a metro market dealer instead of the smaller ones.
  20. HELP: Best/Easiest Way to Haul E-Bike in Mav Bed

    I've been interested in E-Bikes recently and read that the ebike should stay assembled (as with standard bikes, the front tire can be removed). I placed my 58cm hybrid bike with the tailgate up to the 30" angle. I placed it front facing with the back wheel in a bike holder (placing the spindle...
