  1. Maverick shortage is over?

    There was a PHEV spotted on the track that one time. That having been said, I'm seeing a number of fleet Mavericks in my area, most of them with some kind of graphics. So there's a fleet market if nothing else.
  2. I too have given up on Ford and purchased a Santa Cruz

    Good luck. The only Hyundai dealership within a reasonable distance, charges a hefty ADM. So I'm better off just waiting on the Maverick I've already ordered.
  3. Fair Warning, some 22 Maverick's might be canceled.

    If the order ratios I've seen here are any indicator, it won't be a problem. XLs were around 18% of the orders placed here.
  4. Ethanol free gas worth it?

    Honestly, "ethanol free" isn't going to keep a small engine shop from voiding the warranty. They'll find something else, like the gas/oil mix being off by a drop or two, or you used bass boat oil instead of the exact brand that's on their shelves that they didn't bother to tell you to buy.
  5. Update: 2023 Maverick scheduling starts October 20. [Current key constraints: Hybrid, splash guards]

    Honestly, I'm getting an EcoBoost FWD mostly because I need to replace a worn- out Jeep and 30 MPG is better than 16 MPG. Hybrid would've been nice, but I'd rather get mine sooner than later. So I got an XL with zero constraints barring the global XL one (and I think that shouldn't be too big...
  6. Deep Sleep- Recall/Permanent Fix?

    Personally, the Maverick is a good enough truck that I'd have taken possession. Deep Sleep can be fixed. Just a matter of the dealership having enough time to disassemble it and get the solder joint done right.
  7. SIBL Recommendation?

    Probably going to roll Monstaliner here. They're kinda special in that you can sorta color match it if you want.
  8. Replace radiator for $1600?????

    Dunno for the hybrid. That stuff is cybertron technology. As for the other EcoBoosts, I strongly doubt there'd be all that much difference in the mounting for the radiators. Only complication I can imagine is if the 4k radiator doesn't have a mini- cooler for the trans slung underneath it. And...
  9. Replace radiator for $1600?????

    If you can get it, see if you can get the dealer to replace the stock radiator with the one from the 4k. A little extra cooling never hurt anybody.
  10. Drive.com.au Review of a 2023 Lariat Maverick

    That's what happens when I post before having my coffee.
  11. Drive.com.au Review of a 2023 Lariat Maverick

    What's weird is the how Ute- ish vehicles flat wouldn't sell in the US before the Maverick and Santa Cruz. GM had that problem with the Escalade Pickup/Avalanche, Subaru with the Baja, and from what I gather Toyota was having the same problems with the Ridgeline. For whatever reason, we just...
  12. Build Constraints? FX4 and 4K Tow?

    Right, but again that's pomelos to oranges. I'm talking about taking an FWD EcoBoost and upgrading it so it can make the most out of its 2k tow cap, or even just do better on long road trips. Not trying to aftermarket a 4k (which is impossible on a Maverick). Unlike seemingly 99% of the people...
  13. Build Constraints? FX4 and 4K Tow?

    It was constrained for 2022 orders, late during the build cycle. The hitch itself wasn't constrained in the list we saw for 2023. I don't have the invoices in front of me, but every time I've had to have a used truck's transmission rebuilt, adding an expanded trans cooler has only been a...
  14. My dealer says they have adequate allocations

    The usual speculation is that's either a monthly allocation, or they did the "get them to cancel and sell with a markup" too many times and lost allocation. And it also doesn't take into account that regional has extra allocation to slush around. Kinda stuck hoping regional isn't playing...
  15. DISABLE PANIC ALARM

    Hunh. That's a good one. I'll have to remember it if I ever take mine to a tune shop.
  16. To moonroof or not to moonroof. That is the question

    Nope, it's a KJ, not a KK, and I still have it. At least until my Maverick arrives.
  17. No Power, No Safety Flashers!

    Yeah, that's the 12v battery issue. Broken wiring harness connection. And there's no way to run the dual flashers off the high voltage battery. Can I suggest keeping some safety triangles behind the back seat?
  18. To moonroof or not to moonroof. That is the question

    My Jeep Liberty has one, and the headliner is noticeably lower because of it- at least two inches. If that's going to be an issue (like it's sorta become with me), then don't get one. My Maverick isn't going to have one.
  19. Realistically, what is the chance of actually getting a Hybrid Maverick?

    On this note specifically, the allocations, the really low numbers we're seeing are making a lot of us think this might be dealer stock allocations and not the number of orders that're actually going to get filled.
  20. How much will allocation really matter?

    I've seen a lot of hand wringing on FB about dealerships getting hundreds of orders and only ten or twenty allocations. And I'm seeing it a bit here as well. Are they mixing up stock allocations with order allocations? Or are the regions going to be expected to use their allocations to fill...
