I just received an email from Ford encouraging me to take my Mav to the trained Tech's at my local dealer for service I can trust, accompanied by the following photo. I'm not much of a mechanic, but I don't think you're supposed to crank on the lug nuts without the car up on a jack.

I've been getting pretty good MPG all along, but I usually fill up sooner. But this time it's official, I've traveled 600 miles on a tank of gas. I can see how, under ideal conditions, a person could get 700 miles, but I'm not going to be the one who finds out.

I should probably stop drinking, lose weight, and go to a Gym, but that's not what I want to talk about. My 12V battery is (and has never been) fully functional, but the only way it bothers me is that the overhead interior lights don't come on when I open the door to get in. The Mav. always...

I'm claiming the world record for MPG until somebody can do better. Eight miles later, when I arrived home, I was down to 49.something, but that's still pretty good. 250+ MPG!!

#I couldn't wait So I bought this instead. (In my dreams)

I had a minor freeway incident the other day and my right front felt fender liner is damaged and needs to be replaced. Are plastic fender liners available for our Mav's?

I was driving in the fast lane of my local freeway when an extension ladder came loose from somebody's construction truck, bounced across three lanes of traffic, was ran over by the car in front of me, and I ran over it too. I haven't looked under the Mav yet to see what damage might have been...

An off road camper just for us. Pretty cool I think. https://www.theautopian.com/this-1000-pound-off-road-camper-is-light-enough-to-be-pulled-by-your-subaru-crosstrek/?fbclid=IwAR0NuU9ufjHWS5b9oTS6AhcLdUMg_qbTKcY0EbcdsHwA0KLmqqMLSrrbkqs

I was walking along the Ruston Way waterfront earlier this morning (Nov. 19th, 2023) and saw a young man getting out of a Hot Peper Red Lariet Hybrid and wonder if that person reads this forum? Hi there. I have an Alto Blue Mav like yours and love it and hope yours is treating you well. No other...

Why, yes, they really are. I go out to my stand-alone garage every night to make sure both of my cars are locked and the garage door is secure. I lock the car doors one right after the other and I promise you, the Mav with Las-Fit LED bulbs light up the garage way more than the RAV4 with stock...

One of the ongoing themes on our board is the classic "I'm really small compared to other trucks" photo. I really enjoy these pictures and I thought you might want to post your own BIG/small photos.

Based on what others in the MTC have suggested, I bought some 303 Protectant for black rubber and plastic and I'm really happy with it. It made everything black on my truck look better, mud flaps, bumpers, plastic around the bed,... Everyting. I don't know how long it will last between...

Honest question: If I order a new Maverick (or any other car/truck I suppose) with "Dealer Installed Accessories" who pays for the installation of those accessories? Floor mats and a bed mat don't really count, but how about the more complicated things like bed lights or a security system? I'm...

Remember the $200 four-piece Touchlink bed lighting kit by Lumens that turned out to be two lightbulbs and two other parts that nobody bought because it was way overpriced? Well, I ordered it when I first ordered the Maverick and I got a VIN before I figured out it was a waste of $200. I just...

I'm planning a road trip where there might be snow on the roads so I'm looking to buy a set of tire chains but don't know much about them. The Owners Manual says cable chains are a must and I've found the right size for a good price but I wonder if there's more to know that I'm not aware of? I...

I now know more about Maverick lug nuts than I ever thought a person would have to know so I thought I'd share my new-found expertise with you. The stock chrome lug nuts are two-piece affairs, meaning the basic cheap, ugly lug nut is wrapped with a chrome cover and that can become a problem...

This is a great short article comparing the Honda Civic with a Mav XLT My only comment would be that the Civic Seems to be outfitted more like a Lariat than an XLT, so I think the Mav might be even better than the article says. Best quote: "...the Maverick can still function as a car a lot more...

A couple of brake light questions if you don't mind... Lariet Hybrid, if it makes any difference. How many bulbs are there? Four, two on each side? (Not counting the center/over cab light) Are they the same bulbs as the turn signals and four ways? Do they light up when "Auto Hold" is holding...

A replacement tailgate that would make a world of difference for our Mavericks

I'm wondering about the relative weight of wheels and tires. Specifically, assuming all the variables are the same (outside circumference of the tire, essentially the same wheel and tire except for diameter, etc. etc.) would a 17" wheel with a larger (say 225/65) tire be heavier or lighter than...
