AND SO IT BEGINS … The Inaugural Roundup of the Maverick Truck Club has begun at the Carlisle Ford Nationals in Carlisle, Pa. A small crew met at the club tent on the Maverick Truck showfield to hang the banner and set up the tables and some other display items. The three -day show...

The second good thing about our 24-year-old water heater crapping out a month ago is that today we got to haul it out of the basement with our XLT. (This is a followup to my April 16, post “Our First "Haul,” Wherein We Use It Like A Truck”) Our township has its annual "Spring Cleanup"...

The only good thing about our 24-year-old water heater crapping out this weekend is that today we got to go buy a new one and haul it home in our XLT. We thought it would fit in the bed … and it did, just precisely barely. It was heavy, and the box fit snuggly between front of bed and...

Just happened upon another Area 51 XLT AWD in our local Giant grocery store parking lot this afternoon. Couldn’t believe it — We rarely see Mavericks around here, and had never seen this one. But figure it must be local if at the gocery store on a Monday afternoon. We parked right behind, and...

NO LONGER AVAILABLE — Have been requested and given away FREE to first taker (postage only) Four (4) PVC style plastic BLACK end caps for the 14-gauge (shallow) Unistrut channel, used for DIY bed rail. We installed struts in our XLT for bed rails, and looked all over to find end caps in...

Members of the Maverick Truck Club (all of you on this forum) have been invited to gather June 2-4, 2023, at the 2023 Carlisle Ford Nationals show in southcentral Pennsylvania, which is billed as the largest all-Ford show in the world. The event manager for this major three-day show just told...

Interested in upgrading our XLT cargo bed with the driver’s side cubby switched LED light and outlet that was an option or included with other models. (see photo) I know we could probably install an aftermarket light and outlet there … But thought I would start by looking at the Ford OEM parts...

Here’s little tiny thing we’d change about our XLT if we could — Our other car is a Subaru Forester with split fold-down rear seats which have a protective rubber liner on the back of the seats. We can fold one back seat down and have a nice “shelf” to put a takeout pizza box on for the ride...

Highly recommend this aftermarket trim piece that aesthetically ties the audio volume/tuner knobs and buttons into the screen above. It’s a simple piece of black plastic that really improves the look of this area on an XLT, covering up some of that light gray plastic that some people find...

Just brought our XLT back from having Line-X spray-in bedliner done. They did a GREAT job — no complaints. Covered the whole tailgate (Others have reported incomplete coverage here.) They removed all the tie-downs and rubber plugs, and plugged the threaded bolt holes before spraying. Very neat...

We’re looking to an XL owner who’d like to spice up his interior with a free bit of XLT orange. We’d like to trade our orange front-console tray (photo) for the black one that comes on an XL. This is absolutely brand-new — we just brought the truck home yesterday. (We are more subdued people...

Our XLT EcoBoost arrived at the dealer this morning, and the tracker has finally hit "Final Preparation." Took a month to leave the plant, took another month to travel cross country by rail and a couple hours by truck. Just noting the timing, not complaining, since we did manage to get an early...

Our MY23 XLT EB has been built, and is in transit. We stopped at the dealership yesterday to check in and confirm our final “take home” price … And it seems Ford’s $1,740 private offer credit for our unscheduled/unbuilt MY22 order is not in the Smart Vincent system. Our sales rep (who has been...

A single word, and we couldn’t be more excited. Just showed my husband, and he says, “I just got all tingly.” He’s been in denial about this actually happening this week. We ordered a MY22 XLT EcoBoost at the very last moment, 1/25/22. (Area 51, with hitch receiver only option added.) One of...

This just in … Biden calls on Congress to head off potential rail strike

In news that could well affect delivery of many Mavericks next month: US supply chain under threat as unions, railroads, clash Split union vote today means it is likely there will be a rail strike in early December, unless Congress intervenes, as industries which rely on rail delivery are...
