  1. Hypermiling ~50 MPG and over 600 miles per tank on Eco Mode

    I just picked up a new 2023 Maverick Hybrid at Galpin Ford in LA. I drove it in a combination of typical LA stop and go traffic, and freeway miles. The dealer filled the tank for me and I first drove it from LA to Camarillo, then to Santa Barbara, and finally to my destination of Fremont, CA. I...

  3. Private Offer confusion.

    I have a VIN# and the private offer is in the Smart Vincent system with a certificate #. However, the private offer states it has expired on Jan 3rd, 2023. What gives?
  4. Anyone concerned about rising auto interest rates and decreased used car values?

    Check and see what the interest rate was when you placed your order for the Maverick. That should be the rate when you pick up the truck at delivery. Ask the dealership to check the interest rate at the time of your order via their "Smart Vincent" system.
  5. Scheduled for production email (received 11/3/22) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yup, got my 2023 hybrid XL sheduled for the same date of December 19th. A lot of production activity going on on that date!
  6. What specifically makes the hybrids more difficult to manufacture?

    They have their own lithium mining operation on the moon🤣
  7. FX4 skid plate installation on a non-FX4 Hybrid?

    Unfortunately, no. I haven't gotten any answers in regards to a metal skid plate installation for a hybrid. I'm kind of surprised there is no aftermarket manufacturer who has come up with one.
  8. NEW CONSOLE ARMREST COVER WITH MATCHING COLOR STITCHES

    Yes, it does and it is holding up well. When you install it, pull it over the front edge of the lid cover first and then stretch around the rear of the lid. This gives a very snug custom fit.
  9. 🗓 2023 Maverick ordering now starts SEPTEMBER 15 (not August 2)

    Yes, I got a call from my rep at Ford stating it has been moved to September 13th.
  10. Maverick Lightning and Ranger Lightning trademarked as Ford's new electric EV trucks

    A diesel trademark in Europe makes sense because most small trucks sold there are turbo diesels. Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and others have been selling 4 door turbo diesel for at about 20 years there.
  11. Special code received to save $750.00 on the Ford Maverick

    I received this identical offer as well. When I went to pick up my Maverick at the dealership, their Smart Vincent system was not able to apply the offer to the Maverick sales price. They tried several times.
  12. NEW CONSOLE ARMREST COVER WITH MATCHING COLOR STITCHES

    I just purchased a very cool custom console arm rest cover from www.carconsolecovers.com . These folks are able to custom design the arm rest with stitching that can match your orange XLT stiching, and perhaps any other color, if so requested. I custom ordered it in red stitching because I would...
  13. Any Uplifting Dealer Experiences

    I asked Galpin Ford about additional markups on my order. This was their response: "At Galpin there is zero market adjustment on ordered maverick. The only dealer options we add to every car is the door edge guards which are only $347, so you will be paying MSRP plus you know taxes and...
  14. Clicking sound with hybrid

    No that is not it. I'm familiar with the metallic expansion/contraction sounds, usually from the muffler system. These are relay switch type clicking sounds coming from the engine compartment. The sound more electronic than mechanical.
  15. How to hypermile a hybrid for MPG!

    Yes, I've been following similar driving habits as you describe. However, I'll not sacrifice temperature comfort. I've averaged 43.5 mpg over the first 2000 miles. Sometimes, for short distances to the local grocery mart, I occasionally see mostly electric usage from my Mav at 88 mpg, lol.
  16. FX4 skid plate installation on a non-FX4 Hybrid?

    I would like to know if the heavy duty metal skid plate from a FX4 model will fit on a Hybrid model Maverick? Has anyone looked into this? The non-FX4 models have mediocre plastic ones. What would be the part #?
  17. Unknown part # NZ6T-12663 cable left in XL glove box? What is it used for?

    Thx, Ron. I wonder if this 12V cable is actuated by the key fob, or if it is constantly hot. If it is fob activated, then I wonder if I could use it to install a tailgate power lock, which my XL model lacks.
  18. Unknown part # NZ6T-12663 cable left in XL glove box? What is it used for?

    Does anyone know what this cable, left by Ford factory workers assemblers in my XL glove box, is for? Thx
  19. Added some color to gray Maverick w/ orange grill accent bar, Ford emblem and tailgate letters

    Yes, I was looking for a redline trim for my XL wheel replacement and got these Touren redlines.
