  1. Locked key in Mav

    Left my key in the cubby and it locked itself. Or, maybe I did it.(XLT) I called the cops and it took him 5 minutes to unlock the door with a rod. Pretty easy. Too easy? So, know a locked door is a small impediment.
  2. Battery price drop.

    Got a notice the 12v battery for my Mav in my Amazon shopping cart dropped almost $25. Still can't get used to the price of batteries.
  3. Another Ford EV pickup concept at (ha)$30k

    Before this I could see a plug-in Maverick with a bigger battery and bigger traction motor...
  4. What trinkets are we getting for Black Friday?

    I'm looking for a GPS for my XLT. And, a CD player.
  5. Hot weather hybrid milage.

    Went out to dinner with my XLT. About 94 degrees, decent traffic, AC on and got mid 40s mpg for the trip (20 miles). On the way home, about 88 degrees, no AC, lighter traffic, maybe 50mph tops, saw 62 mpg trip consumption. Went down to 41 mpg average for winter then up to 48.5 mpg and now...
  6. Hybrid ready camper

    Not too fancy but I like simple. There's another one I was looking at but 3 times the price. I wonder how the Mav handles something like this on the highway? https://newatlas.com/outdoors/lutz-box-trailer-tiny-camper/
  7. Here's the bed option i want

    The short bed is doable but this would be fantastic. Yeah, I know, pricy and problematic with the unibody.
  8. Top Gear

    Just watched an episode. I miss it and I wonder what they would have said about the Maverick. How can they farce it up? Or, would they launch it off a cliff?
  9. Navigation is gone!?

    I just traded in my '23 2.0 and picked up my hybrid. Went to use the navigation and it's gone. Says to install the app. What?
  10. My Mav is here! Well, the latest one.

    Dealer just called and told me my Maverick has arrived. been waiting a year and a half because I have another Lariat waiting on a lot for the last 7 months with gas tank issues. I wonder if I can get a good special offer on the one that's been sitting (waiting for a gas tank) since February...
  11. Machines are down.

    Off today because of that worldwide computer problem. Our vehicles are getting more and more connected and electronically complex. How long before this affects our ride?
  12. Gas tank issues

    So, my new Lariat is waiting at a lot 20 miles away from me since February for a fix, whatever that might be. None of the ones that made it on to the road have had a leak but I'm waiting "till the fourth quarter" for a solution. Just in case, I ordered another one and just found out it's...

  15. '23 Lariat for sale

    Like new, 7k miles, Ecoboost, 4k tow, white exterior, Black Appearance Package, LUX package, about the only thing it doesn't have is the sunroof. Looks sharp. I have a new hybrid coming in and the dealer only offered me $31k so $32obo. Want pics? Window sticker? I'm in the Chicagoland area...
  16. Maverick vs. Tacoma

    My Maverick is in the body shop and I temporarily have a new Tacoma. Strangely enough, I miss the dial shifter. The controls are harder to figure out, the engine is noiser and buzzy. The ride is bouncy and it's a gas hog compared to my 2.0 awd 4k tow. Looking forward to getting my Mav back
  17. I lucked out... NOT

    I have a 2.0 Lariat I bought off the lot while waiting for my '24 Lariat to come in. Someone hit me in the drivers door and it seemed easy: Drop the 2.0 with the Ford body shop and pick up my hybrid. The hybrid arrived in Chicago in early February but never made it out to me and I was getting...
