111°F is nothing to worry about. Battery can handle up to 140°F before thermal management kicks in aggressively. Coolant following ambient is normal. I've seen mine hit 122°F on a hot day with AC blasting and heavy stop-go traffic. Still fine. Your numbers are textbook normal

VW in the US truck market? Good luck. They don't have the truck reputation here. Ford, Chevy, Ram, Toyota own this space. A rebadged Ranger isn't going to move the needle. Unless they bring something genuinely different like an electric compact truck at a killer price, this is just noise.

57k miles and both axles dead? That's a manufacturing defect. Period. Ford knows it. Dealer covered it because they knew they'd lose a warranty fight. Good result but annoying you had to push them. Tremor for $45K? No thanks

Over $2k in fees is wild, but if it still beats your local Ohio dealer by almost two grand out-the-door, that’s a solid win! Dealers love to tack on those 'joke' fees, but money saved is money saved. Congrats on the Carbonized Gray!

Classic FordPass app bug. Mine was blank for a few days too, then randomly fixed itself without an update. Definitely a server-side glitch, so no point in constantly reinstalling the app

Man, you escaped with your life from a crash like that and you are complaining about the car color? With that 75 mph impact on the Iowa interstate, it is a miracle you can still type on the forum. When an uncle of mine went through a similar thing last year and the insurance company started...

Man, just stumbled on this thread from last year while looking up Maverick accident safety. Sucks so bad about your truck getting totaled at just 6k miles, but reading that the crumple zones saved you from a semi at 20 mph is crazy. Rear-end crashes with semis are wild because even at low...

Yeah, you can get a quote now. Once you have the VIN, the insurance company has everything they need to lock in an accurate rate before it's built.

Agreed. If you're buying a brand new truck, wait for exactly what you want. Dropping options just to get it faster isn't worth the long-term regret.

It is way too late to help OP since this happened back in 2024, but anyone reading this now needs to know that paying out of pocket is a massive risk. For instance, I tried handling a minor scratch this way, but the driver changed his mind months later and filed a fraudulent injury claim...

You usually need the specific VIN for an exact rate, but some agents can give a ballpark using the trim level. Those Co-Pilot 360 features should help lower it.

Nice spec! Cactus Gray looks great on the Lariat AWD. Good to see you're putting solid miles on it—they really are the perfect size for daily driving.

TFL does great real-world tests. Seeing the actual mileage numbers side-by-side makes it way easier to decide if the Hybrid savings beat the EcoBoost capability.

“World’s first” might be pushing it lol but honestly that thing looks tough as hell. Definitely more ranch truck vibes than city commuter Maverick now. Bet fuel economy cried a little the second that bumper got installed though haha.

Ngl if you actually build a solid brush bar for Mavericks that doesn’t look goofy or kill approach angle, people will buy it lol. Most current options either look too tiny or like someone welded playground equipment onto the front bumper.

That photo gave me flashbacks instantly lol. My rear frame area got hit almost the same way after somebody rear ended me in stop and go traffic on the interstate. Then the idiot tried saying I “stopped too fast” even though traffic was already backed up for miles. Insurance became a nightmare...

Honestly if the plastic already mostly popped back out, I’d leave it alone for a bit before replacing the whole bumper. Trucks are supposed to get scars anyway lol. A heat gun and patience might help reshape it closer without spending stupid money immediately.

That bumper actually looks clean as hell, not one of those Amazon specials that folds if you sneeze at it lol. Kinda looks like a custom fab job honestly. Hopefully someone recognizes it because now I wanna know too.

Honestly the Maverick aftermarket still feels weirdly behind compared to Tacomas and Rangers lol. Most of the decent brush guards I’ve seen are custom fab stuff or tiny companies making short runs. Might honestly have better luck messaging people directly in Maverick groups than searching Google...

I’m just seeing this now in 2026 while researching Maverick front-end collisions, but I really hope you got a fair outcome from the insurance after such a brutal hit. Seeing a truck folded up like that against a trailer is terrifying, especially with how low the Maverick sits compared to a...
