I am also on my second Valentine One and love it. I also use universal mounts, allowing me to transfer it between vehicles. FWIW, I reached out to their customer service to have the K-band sensing turned off since most highway patrol and police departments don't use K-band radar detectors. It...

Tim still posts Ford and dealership information to the Long McArthur YouTube channel. The membership-related videos, such as the Thursday lot walks and Friday member live streams, are posted on Patreon. Tim also added a membership level called Coffee Time with Tim (CTWT). The CTWT members...

It involved replacing the brackets attached to the shell and the shocks. Someone smarter than me figured out what to use and posted the part numbers for buying it here: (2) Fix for low rising hatch door on ARE toppers | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners...

I was thinking the same thing. In essence, The markup between invoice and MSRP is about $500. Thus, any difference comes from other ways the dealer gets money from Ford to subsidize the discounts. If you qualify, you can take advantage of discounts such as military, college graduation, Farm...

I am not a lawyer, nor do I pretend to be one. I consulted with a lawyer friend (not specializing in this area), and she indicated (without diving in too deeply) that it's an interpretation of the Uniform Commercial Code and the California Buyer's Rights. The UCC stipulates that a buyer has...

(Just walked in the door a few minutes ago and haven't had a chance to do a search. I wrote the following earlier today, but didn't post it until I got a chance to review it.) By the way, keep in mind that the dealer purchases the vehicle from Ford. It doesn't belong to you until you complete...

Look in the California car buyer protection rights area (other than SB 766). It would be from 2023 or 2024 (SB 766 was enacted October 1, 2025).

That is SB 766 and was recently enacted. The SB I am referring to was passed more than a year ago. I tried to search, but there is so much information on SB 766 (and I wasn't able to complete my search since I am getting ready to step out the door). It's somewhere in the car buyer protection...

There are several issues with this story. California law changed last year. It requires the vehicle to be there for you to inspect before completing the transaction. This is why it isn't easy to purchase from out-of-state dealers. They have to ship to California, let you inspect it, and then...

Long McArthur has one priced at $32,845. This does include $1000 if you finance through them. You should, however, qualify for the rebates, plus their discount is significantly more than the North Bay discount. 2025 Ford Maverick Lobo in Salina, KS | Wichita Ford Maverick | Long McArthur Ford...

I did do it again... Bought a second XL Hybrid (originally for my wife, but we sold it to my daughter) and a XLT Hybrid for my son. I did not like the CVT that comes with the Hybrid. So, I sold it less than 30 days after receiving it, and when I placed an order for a 23 XLT EB AWD. I would...

A lot of great suggestions have been made so far. I would add an entirely new "base" model to the range. I imagine the fleet owners and many of the folks on MTC would like a very basic and low-cost truck. I would go in the direction of the Model T - offer a single configuration, maximize...

Wow... It's incredible how much incorrect conjecture and opinion have been expressed since I posted about what's going on. Let me try again. Yes, California's emissions requirements are among the strictest in the nation, in an effort to address air quality issues. Yet, California is not an...

If I remember correctly, the California Air Resources Board required Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPFs) to be installed by manufacturers on certain gasoline-powered vehicles. There are two ways to address Particulate Management -- GDI engines or the GPF. The 2.5L hybrid Atkinson-cycle engine...

It looks like I am the only one going in the opposite direction. I sold my 2023 Maverick XLT EB AWD and am considering a full-size (older) pickup truck. The rear seat area of the Maverick is too small and unnecessary for me. I was the sole person in the Maverick 90% of the time, and my wife was...

No problem whatsoever. This is why we participate in MTC. For what it is worth, I sold the Maverick about two weeks ago. The buyer lives in Modesto, California, and plans to put many miles on it in northern California and the Pacific Northwest. The heat rejection was remarkable. The truck...

I finally sold my 2023 Maverick XLT EB AWD BAP yesterday. The details of what I sold are here. My son has a 2023 Maverick XLT Hybrid, and my daughter purchased the 2024 XL Hybrid from us. Thus, I plan on staying subscribed to the forum. Yet, I won't be as active as I have been. I didn't have...

Ouch, that won't be cheap to fix. You might be able to get a discount for that level of damage. Please keep us updated on what you decide to do -- even if it means passing on this one.

Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence and has been an issue for decades. If you are interested, you can read a related story below. I doubt the dealer will discount it because the value isn't hurt (there is no CarFax or equivalent reporting since it has not been made available for sale...

My recommendation is that you order it from a dealer willing to give you the Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement (DORA) once Ford has accepted the order and COVP. The DORA should be signed by a dealership sales manager. It commits the dealer to honoring the A-plan pricing when your Maverick...
