Sadly thats normal. Its the exact reason I was instantly turned off lifting a Maverick when I buy one, looks SUPER wonky. So im going to go the opposite way now I think. Slightly lower it and call it a day. And as a bonus I can now save the cost of the AWD (which in turn saves me from buying...

Consumer Reports is a biased and easily bought rag of a entity. Dont take ANYTHING they say without a massive grain of salt. They're proven to have manipulated tests to push biases. THeir views are worth less than nothing and I encourage others to view the facts...

Ridgeline for sure. If you can afford a Ridgeline and the cost isnt really an issue I dont see a single reason why you'd go with a Mav over it honestly. Its a better vehicle is basically every way (since you know, its essentially built to compete two price points above the Maverick). Ive used...

I plan to. I saw the underside of the AWD model and it immediately turned me off it. The power transfer unit, multipiece driveshaft, clusterf*** of a rear suspension, etc is all just awful looking. I dont trust any of it. Im going to go FWD, ecoboost XL I think. Super super simple and more...

Now THIS is the content Ive been waiting for. I adore how simple that looks versus the mess of the AWD underside. I climbed under one at my dealer and immediately said f*** that. I wouldnt put up with that absurdity, i dont trust any of it. Front drive ecoboost XL for me.

I dont mind the dial, I just wish it was on the dash and they offered a front bench. That would be absolutely sublime. Rip out the rear seats for storage and still be able to carry 3 if needed.

Ive seen a couple videos of the AWD underside and oof, Im strongly leaning towards the front drive model now. Between the generally light duty look of everything under there and the hodgepodge of complexity it all makes Im VERY very curious how clean and simple the front drive model is now...

If you do decide to go undecoated for the love of god dont use that solid rubber coating or whatever liner it is, use an oil based spray on product. The solid stuff is such a headache. Traps water and causes issues over time with creating MORE rust and a nightmare to do any maintenance when...

While I dont think Id go this low, going lower in general makes the Mav look awesome. Im strongly leaning that way versus lifting mine when I get one. Hopefully companies can produce a good riding kit for the FWDt. Keep close to the same payload while hopefully giving it better handling and...

*Squints at picture* I could have been right up close to that thing and not noticed anything different from a normal fx4 but the front end. I hope thats a realllllll early prototype of whatever they're building because otherwise its literally the same truck.

I dont mind the people lifting these things but I think the lowering crowd is the more logical group of the two. Its basically a car chassis with an all wheel drive system. I do not expect them to be good offroaders at all. Mini trucking them? Hell yea, bring them on.

Thats sacrilege to remove those gorgeous steel wheels! Haha. Seriously though, I would have upgraded to an XLT in a heartbeat if I could have optioned the steelies. They make the whole truck for me. No exaggeration whatsoever there.

Ive owned two sedans in a row now somehow and cannot stand how useless they are for actually carrying stuff. I even went with the Grand Marquis after my '97 Regal GSX thinking "Eh, its like the biggest damn trunk Ive ever seen, it should be fine.". Previously owned some hatchbacks which are of...

I was only considering it because it was needed for the sliding rear window but since seeing how utterly pointless the window was on a local truck Im fine not having either 360 or the window. I absolutely hate those nanny features so i welcome the idea of not having to get it anymore.

Im spitballing how Im gonna do mine but haven't seen any Mavs in person yet. Ill likely just end up with whatever dealer stock XL I first see because Im impulsive as hell and cant be bothered to wait to wait for a custom order but honestly who knows how long before I see them in stock. Is the...

Unibody so its not possible but im sure a bunch of suspension lifts will come out.

With absolutely zero hesitation yes. I wouldn't even care if they made it a premium trim option only. Usually I want a base model with a manual if possible since I hate HATE fancy gadgets but Id take the hit for whatever trim they made it on. Far more reliable and simpler to work on while...

Id buy a 2 door one over a 4 door any day of the week. When I buy a Mav Im already brainstorming how i can rip out all the rear seat crap and build a storage platform. I think crew cab trucks are dumb to begin with (sacrificing bed space for rear seat space is ridiculously backwards to me)...

Its 7 mpg better than my Grand Marquis while having 50 more horsepower and weighing less. Im totally content with 25 combined. Literally no issues with that.

Looks pretty aweseom honestly. My only real issue with the Maverick how it sits is how utterly and ungodly boring and bland it looks.
