  1. Flat towing a Maverick?

    Did you do the installation or have it done? I decided to try it myself and am wondering whether to tap in to the Maverick wiring for lights or to add a bulb and socket to each tail light avoiding possible problems with the factory wiring? The Roadmaster system I have ordered comes set up for...
  2. 🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    I cut a 2 x 4 bed divider and installed it. I was surprised by how sloppy it fits into the slots. I cut it for a snug fit end to end but the slots are kinda wide. Also the divider doesn't reach the floor of the bed. I think I'll try a 2 x 6 and cut the corners off to help lower the board down...

    I can't wait to see the results.
  4. Not seeing Mavericks in the wild... why not? How about your community?

    Aside from my truck I have seen 2 others in the city (population 60k) where I live. I don't know if I've seen any Santa Cruz's but who cares anyway? Yesterday I went to home depot and when I finished shopping and came out, there were 4 guys standing around my truck checking it out.. For better...
  5. Smartliner Floor Mats for Hybrid Maverick - Installed Photos

    My hybrid mats arrived today 5 days after I ordered. Used the Amazon Pay option on the Smartliner web page and the cost, after automatic discount, was $125.48 delivered. Super easy to order. The fit is snug and coverage is far better than the rug-type mats that came with the truck.
  6. Flat towing a Maverick?

    The main reason I started focusing on Maverick was the flat towing capability. After a little studying I decided I liked it for lots of reasons including I can load and carry our ebikes much easier than putting them on a bike rack plus the rig weighs much less than the Wrangler I had.

    Thanks for the info.
  8. Flat towing a Maverick?

    If you don't mind me asking how much you spend getting it set up as a toad?
  9. Consumer Reports: Maverick Test Report updated to include Hybrid

    CR always favors Honda and Toyota. Sometimes with good cause, but the Ridgeline should not have been rated better than Maverick for the reasons Davnau mentions.
  10. Thoughts on Drop in Bedliner?

    With the caveat that I've never had a factory installed spray in, my experience with spray in liners and I've had several is that in short order they scratch off from from loading heavy materials or shoveling gravel out of the bed and the like.. Also in one case the material started to peel off...
  11. Thoughts on Drop in Bedliner?

    I've had trucks since 1967 when I bought a 61 ranchero for $135. Ford's, Chevy's, a Datson, a Toyota and a GMC diesel. I just bought a Maverick XLT because I'm sick of the poor gas mileage. Getting to where I can't stand going to the gas pump. Anyways I've had numerous bed liners both drop in...
  12. Flat towing a Maverick?

    Thanks for the good info. Did the odometer move while it was being towed?
  13. First thing you did/doing to your Mav

    Thanks for the info.
  14. First thing you did/doing to your Mav

    How well do you like the soft tonneau cover? Will it hold up to a drive-through car wash? I really like the looks of the soft roll up type and as it doesn't take up as much bed space when it's rolled up I think it'll be more practical than the folding covers or the hard roll up ones. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for the link.
  16. Flat towing a Maverick?

    Your install is very unobtrusive. We'll done! In the 3rd pic are you leaving the tow bar on the toad? I've never tried that and have always left it on the RV.
  17. Flat towing a Maverick?

    I'm planning on using the Roadmaster baseplate because I think the installation looks a lot cleaner than the Blue Ox version. Haven't decided on a brake system yet although I have experience with the stay and play Demco system and liked it ok. The only real issue seems to be the wiring harness...
  18. Flat towing a Maverick?

    Hello all I am a new member and am expecting delivery of a hybrid XLT next week. I purchased this vehicle specifically because it can be flat towed behind my motorhome with all four wheels down (per the owners manual). Anybody out there with experience towing a Maverick?
