As the title says I had my first flat on the way to church Sunday..... NO, I do not think my destination had anything to do with the flat!! :) Because of my past few flats I seriously considered not getting the $115 "full size" spare. Turned out I was glad I did. I drove about 100 miles on...
Attaching a Ford Authority article. Specifically mentions Bronco and Mustang but the article has a photo of a Maverick, so I presume If you have a new model Apple phone you can pull up a Maverick symbol for insertion if you so desire. :) We "droids" are SOL......:confused:

Just for fun, I ran an advanced search for the words "moved back", delayed, and "finally". Twenty-five pages of results shown for each word. I guess that is the highest number the MTC site allows. So just remember, if your Mav order is moved back or delayed, it will finally get here!!!! ;) :D 👍
Below is the article described in the title. A little more info for those hungry for more details.
2024 Ford Maverick Tremor To Get New Graphics, Ditch Package (fordauthority.com)
I received a letter from Ford today. At first, I thought it was some sort of recall letter and had a big frown on my face.:mad: After reading the letter, it turns out that a label needs to go under the hood to meet "Environmental Certification Requirements". I have attached a picture of the...
I just read this article rating the top ten hybrid CARS on the market that cost less than 30k. Yup, Maverick is in the top ten and in pretty good company. Hey, it drives like a car, gets great mileage, and is a truck when you need it. Versatility; Hard to beat!!! (y)...
I realize there have been many photos of Mavs parked next to bigger rigs. However, when I saw this Ram truck I could not resist parking my Mav next to it for a picture. This Ram was as big as I have ever seen. My cab was at the top of his tailgate/box and the hood on the Mav could almost go...

So who is going to do it first?? :)
I have noted on this forum that there is discussion of how large a tire can be installed on the Maverick and avoid rubbing. The mod in the listed URL might be an answer????? ;):LOL:

Please post pictures after mod completed!! (y)
I see a lot about mpg, which is good info. What really surprises me is the average mph. This is my first vehicle with miles driven and time driven on the display cluster. I have never paid much attention but yesterday I filled up with 505 miles and 14 hrs. 21 minutes for an average of 35 mph...
Below article includes some pretty good info, although some seems to be "old news". Interesting that the first Mavs to be built will apparently be mostly fleets. I assume because of less constraints. Article says all packages have constraints. I also thought it interesting that Lariat EB now...
My Maverick had its first oil change and tire rotation today at Ballentine Ford, Greenwood SC. Cost was 67.56, but I used 13,523 Ford Pass Points, leaving me a balance of 28,488 points. In other words, I will get three oil changes and tire rotations for the points. Most Toyota models come...
There has been quite a bit of discussion on vehicle theft on this thread. Probably because we really like our Maverick. The attached article talks about car theft in Canada but applies to the U.S. as well. Found it very interesting. Theft is getting quite sophisticated. It seems like...
I am seeing a lot of VIN cancellations for hybrids. Any for EB's? Especially wondering about all those EB's that got ordered the last part of January, 2022. My condolences to anybody that got cancelled. I hope Ford gives compensation, so you are not hurt too bad. Losing the interest rate is...
Below article shows the Maverick has outsold the Santa Cruz 68 percent to 32 percent. Cost, ride, and appearance seem to lead the reasons. Practical also comes to mind for me. Love mine and, of course, I am partial to Cactus Gray!! (y) Just turned 1K on miles; 30.6 mpg, mostly eco mode...
Noticed while browsing that the options on the window sticker for a F-350 cost as much as the base model XL Maverick. And, hey, these options do not drive you anywhere by themselves!!!!
TOTAL COST equals FOUR XL's

Received the long-awaited call: "Your Maverick is here" this past Thursday. Picked up my Lariat yesterday ordered on Nov 23rd. It is everything I expected it to be. Closing the deal at Ballentine Ford, Greenwood SC went without any problems. MSRP, Zero percent interest, price protection...
Attached article relates new fire-related recall for Mavericks. Sounds like this is the hold-up on delivery. I do not believe this is the same recall we have been talking about, if so, sorry!!
I am getting an EB, but I do not enjoy passing on what might be bad news for hybrid owners.
