You'd risk your life over 'principles' and a factory job you were only 3 years deep in? I'm a principled man but there is something called, 'choosing your battles' and taking on organized criminals isn't something to be done lightly.

I'm not saying those things don't exist, but I'm not sure they add up to a hill of beans when the rubber meets the road (or off-road, as it were). Just line by line.... dual clutch lockable rear - doesn't the Maverick already give power to all 4 wheels in most conditions under 20 or 30mph? You...

Tremors will be hard to get and you won't see many... and that's just fine because a "truck" with the towing capacity of a 90's era Toyota Camry isn't the least bit impressive. The Tremor add-on amounts to little more than an appearance package (how is that for a hot take?). The significant...

If you want to be a capitalist you need capital.... or at least a line of credit that exists only on spreadsheets to gamble with.

Ever try and put a sofa in your compact SUV or crossover? Either you'll appreciate the functionality of a bed or you won't. There are plenty of things that - even if you could fit them in your SUV (but you won't, no matter how spacious it seems at first) you wouldn't want to put in the cabin.

Might be true but I suspect the vast majority of people asking for the rear seat delete are tradesmen who are far, far more worried about the functionality of their truck than how much they can sell it for after they've thrashed it after 200,000 miles (please, please lord let my Maverick make it...

My BIG BIG BIG question would be - Is it a Lariat with the Luxury Package? It really transforms the truck from ho hum to really quite nice. Only on the lux package do you get the lane centering and adaptive cruise control - Total game changers as is the Sync 3 and (IMO) the upgraded stereo...

IMO the rear seat is not very accommodating for large item storage. The weird cubbie bins in the floor make it very difficult to gracefully stuff anything larger in the back seat area. I have a few different toolboxes, totes and buckets I'd like to be able to stick in the backseat from time to...

I convinced myself that AWD was non-negotiable but when gas was creeping up to $5-$5.50+ a gallon I was starting to wonder if I couldn't have gotten by with a hybrid.

36k for a gently used SUV/Truck seems pretty reasonable in this current market. It's more than MSRP, yes.... but what isn't these days? I'm not sure what the deal is with the price fetish so many members seem to be afflicted with here. Want to blow your mind? Try searching for used...

I have the factory tri-fold. It's pretty good at staying dry in actual rain/snow but does terrible through the car wash.

Since you asked... yes it's a thing. Not just one persons Maverick either. Quite a few people posting in this thread who all have peeling paint on their bumper in the same spots (go and check yours now, lol)...

As long as you make it up the hill it doesn't matter. The computer will select the most appropriate gear and I'd only worry about overriding it if I was having trouble with traction.

With advice like this, you're lucky you haven't been prosecuted for illegal dumping.

I won't dispute that there may be some limitations but my experience is that the rear cross-traffic alerts work very, very well and are very sensitive. Usually I get the warning long before I see the vehicle. That said... I still check the mirror. 😁

I let it expire. They offered me an extension for $2 a month or something ultra-cheap and I still said no. The lady seemed surprised when I told her I just wasn't interested at any price other than free. Sirius is perfectly fine. It's alright, but not better than my own music collection...

I'd just add that the Maverick was also the first car I had purchased new. Previously it had always made far more sense to purchased used but the car market was out of whack enough (and the Maverick seemed cool enough) that I took a chance. I was excited that I'd finally be able to keep a car...

It's pointless trying to protect the sub-standard paint on these vehicles. Your best option is to just accept you've been screwed over by Ford and that your Maverick will look like a hoopty in 50k miles. On my vehicle (and some others) the paint literally just peels right off on it's own. It's...

So?

I think you hit on the million dollar question, "How often and under what circumstances will the dual clutch rear actually make a difference over the standard AWD?" I'll admit - I don't have any clue. The standard AWD system is more than capable of delivering a healthy amount of power to the...
