I started getting a strong shimmy in the front of my Maverick when accelerating at highway speeds. It was very strong and unsettling. I called my service manager and he suggested what I expected, the front axels needed to be replaced. I brought it in and the mechanic confirmed the issue...
I really wanted to replace the steelies on my 2023 XL Hybrid. I found the Sport Terrain Tundra 17" on Tire Rack for $107 per wheel and included 20 lug nuts. The wheels and truck have the same bore so no spacers were needed. Came out better than I expected.
I have a 2023 Maverick XL and was looking to replace the factory steelies. My nephew used to work for a national tire chain. He was going over all the specs relevant to find a set of wheels. The factory tires were 225/65R17, RIM 7J17ET37.5, Offset range 35.5-39.5, bolt pattern 5x108...
I have a 2023 Atlas Blue Maverick XL. I was considering adding the light up side marker lights. I see Mabett and Maxzina are promoting their marker kits.
I am particularly interested in hearing from those who have the side marker lights. Which marker kit did you get and would you do it...
My 2023 XL hybrid came with the stock factory Continental 225/65/17. I have 22.5 K and the tires are pretty bald. I was curious and asked my Ford dealer if there was a warranty. He said not through Ford but take it to a tire shop that sells Continental and they could pro-fate the tires.
Has...
I am curious what grill light options people have done with the standard XL grill. I am particular interested in no drill options. I have a 2023 XL with the standard grill. Thanks.
Two weeks ago I ran over a nail and had to use my spare. Very glad I got the full size spare option. I found a flat, safe location and set about changing the tire. I have had my 2023 XL for over a year and this was the first time I really looked at the jack. The sticker on the jack is fairly...
This was on today's Marketplace segment on NPR

The sales manager at Heritage Ford said he actually had inventory on many Fords, but one.
“I’m hopeful that the inventory will stay around this,” he said. “I...
When I bought my XL, I didn't think not having a power unlocking tailgate would be such a nuisance. However, having to shut off the truck to use the key to unlock it was becoming an issue. Like when it was very dark trying to find the keyhole was a pain.
I watched this video:
And with...
I have had my 2023 Maverick XL for about 11 months. A few weeks ago they had to do 2 software updates. One was to fix an emissions issue and the other was a recall for the tail lights. Today my Ford app showed notification. I got the 3:42 PM saying my truck had entered Deep Sleep mode...
Last week I dropped off my Maverick for 2 software updates. One was a basic update and the other was a recall something to do with the brake lights. They called and said the truck was ready for pickup. I picked up the truck and when I got home I noticed the plug for power and the plug...
I posted recently about a dash cam and accident involving my Maverick. An acquaintance has advised me, in addition to vehicle repairs, to pursue compensation for the loss of value on my vehicle. The concept being that if you have 2 vehicles that are identical in every visible way, but one was...
Back in June, I purchased a web cam for my 2023 Maverick. I strongly recommend getting a webcam for your vehicle if it does not have one. Last night while driving home, I pulled out of a business onto a road with 2 lanes eastbound, there was a driver in a turn lane (no light) up ahead. Don't...
I posted this a few weeks ago but I ordered a 2023 Maverick XL Hybrid dark gray with CoPilot 360 spray in bed liner and trail hitch (NOT TOWING package). I doubt they will do much markup. IT IS AT THE DEALER right now in South Florida. If you are interested please contact Joe Z at...
Back in 2022 I ordered a Maverick. My sales guy, Joe Z, had someone walk away from their order and I bought that truck. The Maverick I ordered finally got built and will be delivered to the dealer soon. I am not going to take it.
Its a 2023 XL Hybrid dark gray. It should have co-pilot...
Can someone tell me why I can't buy a warranty from Grainger in Florida? Can I get someone to buy it for me in another state even if the vehicle is in Florida?
Just a little FYI. I have a MY23 Ford Maverick XL. It came with the factory DIBL. I decided to replace it with a SIBL from Line-X. They removed the DIBL and sprayed the bed. On the tailgate there were 8 screws (without washers) that fit inside these little cups to hold the DIBL to the...
There are 8 screws that secure the liner to the inside tailgate. I managed to snap one. I called Ford and you cannot buy them individually they are part of a hardware kit for $23.00. I only need one screw and wanted to pickup the screw locally. I know it's a small Torx screw. Does anyone...
Back in February, I got my MY23 Ford Maverick XL. It came with a DIBL. Last week I took it out and had the SIBL setup. Keep in mind the DIBL blocks access to the side panels and power access unless you cut it. So I was finally able to open the access panels on the side rear of the bed. And...
This applies only to Hybrids (not just Ford, but any hybrids). I-95 Express expanded their no toll program to include HYBRID owners.
I-95 in South Florida has express lanes were you can pay to avoid the clogged free lanes. During rush hour these tolls can be quite hefty. However, for $10 you...
