Figured we could have a ongoing thread for Maverick's "in uniform" for security, fire, police, etc as I'd wager the XL trim will be huge with government and other fleet vehicles as production ramps up: And some may have already seen the SEMA Rescue Package Concept:

Meat and taters starts at 6:40 with driving impressions and payload test. (y)

Post your favorite examples of overpriced cars. Here's a used Chevy Trailblazer subcompact crossover, 18K miles on it, which at $30K would have been overpriced brand new as practically an economy oriented hatchback with a tiny 1.3L engine, now asking $37K used...

Most turbo reviews have been AWD, but the FWD seems to launch just fine with no drama, at least in the dry: Link to video and discussion of the Savagegeese FWD Hybrid XLT Review here: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/savagegeese-hybrid-xlt-review.6739/

She's always fun, and breaks down some of the mechanicals on the FX4.

BlakesCars2 found that both his Mavericks have the same issue w/ passenger door rattle, that he believes to be a simple design defect/oversight. "This is a great way to avoid going to the dealer to have that annoying "rattle" fixed, to inevitability just get the door panel replaced with one...

Spoiler: Driving.Ca picks the Maverick, but shows some pros and cons to each machine under harsh winter conditions that are interesting. Also not the first time I've heard that retractable hard tonneaus like those that come standard on many trims of the Santa Cruz lock up in the extreme cold...

Base XL Hybrid 1,500 Mile Review with comparison to his previous loaded XLT:

A bit long at 42 mins, but they left pretty much no stone unturned comparing the Santa Cruz Limited to Maverick XLT FX4. They seem quite knowledgeable as well, even little tidbits like that the Bronco Sport hood insulator fits on the Maverick, to idiosyncrasies with the transmissions between...

Not related to the seller, just stumbled on it in my feed. Its a little 3D printed cubby grid that clicks into place so you can use standard vent clip phone mounts securely in that location. Its a good idea, although pricey at $20, a shame that he didn't release the file for it so people can...

The 7 min mark is most interesting to me, as on all his reviews he does the same run that has various size speed bumps and a pothole. I believe the Subaru Crosstrek so far was the winner on ultimate impact absorption, but you can compare it to similar vehicles to get an idea. He also does...

As a reminder, they had also reviewed a XLT Ecoboost FX4 a while back:

For those that don't speak Spanish, open in Youtube, click CC (closed caption), click the gear icon, select subtitles, then "auto-translate" and "English". Fairly extensive review, with some neat highlights snapped from the video below:

Goes into great detail, but also interesting as this is a rare Ecoboost FWD review. Raiti does report that FWD "struggles to put the Ecoboost's power down". Skipping to 22:43 though for his full throttle launch from a red light, the chirping is minimal and uneventful though and didn't even...

So while I had seen both the Mav and SC before, when its weeks apart its really hard to remember exactly what felt different between the two. We went to the Houston Auto Show yesterday though, and they had both not only available to poke about with minimal attendance so I could hog-it to my...

Recommend using quality Headphones. Night: Day:

Car and Driver Jan 2022 issue includes a Maverick Review. Don't believe we can post the full article, but I know we can post general takeaways for the sake of discussion: XLT Ecoboost FX4 (non 4K package) returned 29mpg in their 75mph highway fuel economy test, matching its EPA estimate, and...
