My Maverick replaced a 2001 Ranger. The size in the garage (footprint) is very similar. The Maverick bed is smaller but I gained significant cab space going from a jump seat to a four door. Of course I also upgraded from a base XLT with steel wheels, manual widows, etc. to a Hybrid Lariet delux...

I have driven with FWD in snow for 30+ years and never had problems. However, the stock tires on my FWD Maverick were not good on snow/ice so I bought Blizzak snow tires and the improvement was dramatic. I read a number of threads on this forum before I decided the winter tires would help and...

I have always kept my vehicles for a long time, my 2001 Ranger lasted until they released the Maverick. However, given the number of alternatives that are now on the horizon I am going to keep an open mind about getting something that checks more boxes for me in the future. Plug in Hybrid with...

That is a good point. My auto policy has a $500 deductible, so the warranty only saved me $500. I’m still glad I got the road hazard warranty.

Installed the mirror yesterday in just over an hour not counting 30 minutes of you tube research. I am very happy with the results, I have always wanted a garage door opener built into the car. You would think a First addition Lariat would have included this option but in the end I enjoy making...

On a weekend road trip my Mav got hit by a rock at the top of the windshield dead center above the rear view mirror. Safelite needed to order the special acoustic windshield with wiper heaters, about a month so far. Fortunately my wife insisted I buy the road hazard warranty after she heard the...

I was focusing on the end of the poll question ".. kept you from driving your Maverick as needed" which I have personally experienced. I agree if the focus is "reliability" then yes my Maverick has been very reliable. I have never hesitated to take it on road trips and it only refused to start...

I am not sure why some people say "no problems other than recalls". Given that when I have to take my car to the dealer "I can't use It", why wouldn't that count as a yes. Particularly when it took more than one trip to the dealer to resolve the airbag recall. Maintenace (Oil changes) and...

Thanks for sharing your story. I thought it was interesting that I had the same black hole frustration with my truck's time in rail yard purgatory in CO. The rail yard even reported to Ford that the truck was delivered to the dealer 2 weeks before it showed up on their lot (5 miles from the rail...

Yes I have been a lot of places with front wheel drive that some people think requires 4WD. Most recently I took my FWD Hybrid off the pavement and kicked up a little mud on the side. This was my first experience with the fancy computer traction control. I thought I was stuck at one point but...

I like them all, I'm looking forward to seeing the prices.

Yes, altitude/hills are a factor. The trip I make every few months is Denver to Breckinridge. On the 90 miles up I enjoy the power and drive 80+ mph which gives me 32mpg. Coming down I get 56mpg so the average is 44mpg. I am very happy with that mpg and the range of +400 miles means I never need...

I drove for 6 hours on I 25 south from Denver to NM. The speed limit is 75 so I started my drive with 85 dialed into the cruise control. After I saw the first trooper I dialed back to 80 and the MPG increase was so dramatic I finished my trip at 80 MPH. Average MPG was 42+ and of course I never...

I have a data point of one. My co-worker needed a new truck, wanted a Maverick, but could not wait so he bought a Ranger. He also considered the Tacoma but the price was better on the Ford.

Yes I have waited this long I will watch for a response on a better service department. They can’t all be this bad

Schomp service has failed too many times. After receiving a notice that parts for the airbag were available I scheduled and appointment with Schomp. I dropped it off yesterday and after keep the car all day today they sent me text at 3 in the afternoon that said we inspected your car and have...

So much for keeping my finger crossed. Complete failure and waste of my time. It is time to find another dealer for my service. After they had my car all day they sent me a text telling me the brakes are fine. I asked if they installed the software patch per the TSB I printed for them and they...

I am keeping my finger crossed. I took my Hybrid in for the air bag recall and told them to look into the grabby brakes. The service guy's initial response was "well it is a hybrid they drive different". I told him I have driven other Hybrids and this is not a Hybrid "feature" and after a year...

1 . I didn't like the design of the mud flaps and added an after market flap to the inside to get a smooth surface on the inside. It may not be optimal but it is an improvement and can be removed if I change my mind. 2. You also seem to be missing a metal bracket on the back mud flap that adds...
