Some persistent quality issues over the past two months were bothersome enough that I put my equity towards a Taco while there is still equity to be had.
It’s been real. Best of luck to ya’ll! ✌️ 🤙
Took a few days off for a long weekend and decided to remove my cheap Tiptop tonneau cover and OEM mudflaps. What I saw underneath made me put both up for sale on FB marketplace. As a sort of disclaimer on this post, I'm not the most experienced or skilled person when it comes to installing...
Nice set of steelies and stock continentals with less than 7k miles on them. No TPMS included. Steelies have painted black center caps. $150/obo. Local pickup in Knoxville/Oak Ridge area of TN only. Maverick not included. ;)
Full set of Smartliner EB All-Weather floor mats in great condition. Not a smoker, no pets, cleaned regularly. $75/obo. Local pickup in Knoxville/Oak Ridge area only.
Tiptop soft roll-up tonneau cover in great condition, only about 6 months old. Includes hardware and is an easy install. $100. Local pickup in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge area of TN only.
Took a trip from the Knoxville area to Johnson City, TN to pick up a set of Bronco Sport takeoffs this weekend. 240 miles there and back, averaged 32 mpg. Still love how this XL EB chews up highway miles.
Had been looking to buy these particular wheels since I bought the truck, but couldn't...
Mia the Kia is here. My wife had a good amount of trade equity in her CRV and has never really liked the ride. She only drives a few days a week and wanted something a little more fun.
Found this loaded 2023 Kia Soul with 5k miles on it for $20k. Great driving car. We previously had a Soul and...
My wife had a 2021 Honda CRV that she bought for commuting to her office, but her job went remote and isnt going back, so she decided she was tired of paying $300/mo. for her mom mobile to sit in the driveway. While she still needs a car, our son is now 6 and can climb in and out of the car...
To celebrate Marty's 5,000th mile, went ahead and painted my center caps black. I've been thinking about doing this since I got the truck. Definitely a small, simple upgrade, but my rattle can skill set is mediocre at best and I don't like to change something from stock that can't be changed...
As of this morning my base XL with EB and nothing but a bedliner and cheap tonneau cover...
$30,556
This puts me about $14,000 upside right on my Granger Mav. It's $2k more than I've ever been offered.
Do I love the Mav? Sure do. Is it pretty tempting to cash out and buy a mid-2010s truck...
Any suggestions out there for playable usb drives that work well with the Mav’s system? Because I’m somewhat old, I miss my cd’s, but haven’t found a cd player that works as well as I suspect the usb would. Little help?
Took my Granger FWD EB XL on it's second long road trip this past week (the first being the trip from Des Moines to TN) and had a good time!
My wife's CRV was not big enough to fit a week's worth of suitcases, beach gear, coolers, etc., so we ended up loading up the Mav. It poured rain on the...
Hey friends! Have decided to spray paint the center caps on my steelies black. Have always loved the black centers ever since having stock steelies on my first car, a 2001 Wrangler.
Any advice for getting a good finish on those plastic caps that will hold up well over time?
Thanks!
Or is my humble Maverick XL FWD EB about the only vehicle Ford hasn't recalled the last two years? :ROFLMAO: Yikes. Throw in the recent stop ship on F-150 Lightnings and it ain't pretty right now. Hope they're able to clean this up soon.
Good read on the Autopian about the misconceptions around truck beds getting smaller. Provides some good context and the Mav gets a mention as well.

Hello all!
With the help of some holiday amazon gift cards, I was able to get some essentials for my Granger-bought, bare bones XL EB FWD in Carb Gray on the cheap. I went with OEM mudflaps, Smartliner all weather mats, Tiptop roll-up tonneau cover, and an Ecarzo center console organizer...
Cashed out my $320 in Ford Points towards the modular bed liner and picked up some $20 matte back tailgate letters from Amazon. Let the dirt cheap upgrades on my already dirt cheap truck begin! Big improvement in the look and functionality for about $150 cash out of pocket. Of note, I covered up...
Just got back yesterday from an 800+ mile cruise after picking up my Maverick from @Granger Ford and wanted to take a few minutes to share my first impressions of my new truck.
First and foremost, Granger Ford was completely professional throughout the process. Anytime I reached out, whether it...
Let's see what's out there in your area as a 'Maverick Alternative' if you have to have a crew cab truck before the Mav is delivered, but want to stay on your Maverick budget. I'm using Autotrader, but of course any place you can buy a used truck works fine. I'm going to match mine up with a few...
