  1. Birthday Surprise Maverick From My Son!

    Wonderful story to share with everyone, thank you (and your son) for that! I think that most children wish to have the ability to take care of their parents in some fashion once they are grown themselves; it is always nice to have stories to reaffirm that. I have become financially stable...
  2. 2024 Ranger Raptor first sighting on production line at MAP factory

    More interested to see how the interior will be updated from an ergonomic perspective. I sat in a Ranger and Maverick back to back several months ago and was shocked at how much more room I "felt" I had in the Maverick.
  3. One day someone will do this to the truck

    I promise you that it was never my intention to make it sound easy. If it was easy, politicians wouldn't be able to pull the wool over people's eyes for as long as they have. Every department isn't equally bloated compared to military spending, not by a long shot. Defense spending is going to...
  4. One day someone will do this to the truck

    EV batteries are going to go through a lot of technological breakthroughs over the coming decades. To think we will still be using the same batteries we are currently using ignores the fact that we haven't been using the same kind of batteries for quite some time. Lithium-ion batteries as we...
  5. One day someone will do this to the truck

    I like to bring receipts from time to time. Pull up a seat while I spin a yarn for ya'll... While there is a kernel of truth to that statement (under capacity and outdated), it is a sentiment that has been used for decades about any/all household items that are hungry for electricity. Most...
  6. 📜 Updated Commodity Constraints List as of 1/23/23

    Because, in Ford's thinking, when you struck gold, why bother looking for diamonds? They will pump out EB XLTs all the live long day and take all that money to the bank with a smile on their face. The Escape/Corsair debacle is more or less my point exactly. Ford has the ability to make an AWD...
  7. 📜 Updated Commodity Constraints List as of 1/23/23

    As much as many of us would like to see that happen, I don't think we'll get an AWD hybrid anytime soon. An AWD PHEV Maverick (or Ranger) with 4k tow is my white-whale vehicle. But I don't think we'll see something like that within the next 5 years. It's not as simple as "dragging and...
  8. BAP Black Appearance Package pictures: Carbonized Gray Hybrid Maverick Lariat Lux

    NGL, I think the BAP looks the best on that Carbonized Grey out of all the colors I have seen on here so far. Adding dark tint to the side windows would probably make it close to being a perfectly murdered out piece.
  9. Ram Revolution - To be revealed January 5

    We have logged about 7,000 miles on my wife's new Bolt EUV since mid-October. It is awesome. A perfect vehicle for her to handle her 60-mile daily commute and us running around in. Looking forward to (eventually) getting my EB Maverick, but I would gladly consider a PHEV Maverick or Ranger that...
  10. BAP (Black Appearance Package) on 2023 Maverick Lariat Hot Pepper Red -- Pics

    Nice to see pictures of HPR builds, definitely an underrated choice that needs more photos on here! I wish Ford had a way to merge the FX4 package with the BAP and get the best of both worlds.
  11. Motortrend 2023 Maverick Tremor First Test Review: There's nothing else like this truck on sale today

    Hopefully in the model refresh they can fit the 2.3L in there, add a 2" lift, add 4k tow, and call it a Raptor! I'd also "settle" for an AWD PHEV Maverick with 4k tow! :ROFLMAO:
  12. Anybody pick out a name for your truck?

    Great choice! Pepper is my current front runner for when mine gets made, and I like vehicle names that you can cut down to one syllable (Pep!). All of my current preferences play off the color being Hot Pepper Red. I've always been partial to female names for my vehicles, but this might be my...
  13. Motortrend 2023 Maverick Tremor First Test Review: There's nothing else like this truck on sale today

    Still breaks my heart a bit that I couldn't option the 4k tow package with the Tremor.
  14. Let's talk numbers. Hybrid vs Ecoboost $$,$$$

    There are far more variables when it comes to talking numbers of hybrid vs EcoBoost. And those numbers differ from locality to locality. Some states give/gave you a tax credit for buying a hybrid, some actively rake you over the coals. Here in bass-ackwards Ohio, they charge you an additional...
  15. Octane vs MPG, 87 vs 93, anyone compared?

    Could you "feel" any noticeable difference in the power between the two?
  16. Octane vs MPG, 87 vs 93, anyone compared?

    I have the vaguest childhood memory of my parents saying the same thing about me... I agree with you. By "any given moment" I meant specific and infrequent as well; but those specific and infrequent moments make premium fuel a prerequisite. I rationalize it as kind of like paying the...
  17. Octane vs MPG, 87 vs 93, anyone compared?

    Weird Al: always obligatory. Always. IMHO, premium vs regular in the EB comes down to smiles per gallon, not miles per gallon. Most people won't notice or care if their EB loses ~25hp/trq when they're only using it as a work truck and/or towing well under the 4k limit (and I'm definitely not...
  18. Not my wife.... totaled our Maverick 1.0 but we tracked down another !

    Makes you wish that the money you pay for the collision detection/avoidance option would make it work for OTHER people's vehicles too.
  19. Maverick Scheduling Week of 12/01/22: All of January

    "Lariat pickups are not impacted by this latest change."
