  1. 38,000 mile summary. BEWARE: ISSUES GALORE!

    It was a very early production Maverick that they got in December of 2021 which could account for some of the problems. With that history I would have bought an extended warranty before it hit 36k miles while I could if I wanted to keep it. If I had a Maverick with that many unresolved...
  2. UPDATED: Gasoline in 2.0 engine oil, at dealership no diagnosis yet.

    If you are still a bit under 36k miles it might be good to buy an extended warranty.
  3. Exceedingly Long Oversimplified Explanation of Maverick Order Allocations

    A couple of things to add which are mostly pure speculation on my part. 1) Transportation has been a big constraint and is also scheduled far in advance and involves multiple components like space on trains, space in rail yards, and a truck and driver to deliver it from the final railyard to...
  4. After 35k miles review

    That might help explain why they dropped alto blue for 2024.
  5. What if Ford made the Maverick a premium truck?

    I was curious and did some Google searches to see what the size was and the length of the F-150 varies a lot depending on the configuration. The length of the Ford Maverick is 199.7 inches. I had to go back to 1996 to find a F-150 which was shorter and in that year they were between 197.1...
  6. What if Ford made the Maverick a premium truck?

    The first problem with that is the Maverick has unibody construction and not body on frame so it is more of an SUV with a bed than a conventional pickup truck. There is nothing wrong with that for some needs but trying to add all those other features to it would be sort of a "lipstick on a pig"...
  7. Anyone hauled a 10 foot aluminum boat in the bed?

    People have posted pictures of hauling lots of crazy long things but even if it legal it would be better to bite the bullet and buy something like a flatbed utility trailer or get a boat rack which will allow the boat to be loaded over the cab.
  8. Maverick Totaled Serious Injuries

    As bad as the injuries sound there is a good chance that their new Maverick did better in the crash than whatever car they had before the Maverick. The Maverick has 7 airbags but for us the old Tacoma it replaced only had 2.
  9. Is everyone paying destination fee? I just read about the warranty options

    There are lots of threads about extended warranties you can look up and there are dealers like Flood Ford which sell them at near cost.
  10. Extended Warranty

    FYI, if you buy the Ford extended warranty you can use the Ford Pass points that you get when you buy a Maverick to save around $200. I decided to get a Ford extended warranty and here is the post that I did about my reasoning in deciding to buy it...
  11. ⚠️ Recall 23S27 & Delivery Hold on 2.5L Maverick Hybrids for Under Hood Fire (Notice Date 5/31/23)

    If it has been in the shop since Febuary look into returning it under your states Lemon Law.
  12. can i drive a hybrid into the ground?

    I am in a similar situation with my Ecoboost and I decided to buy an extended warranty because the cost of a 10 year low mileage extended warranty is not all that high. . I posted about it a few days ago giving my reasoning...
  13. Looking for Advice on Negotiating with Shady Dealership that Requires Ford Surface Care

    The hybrid will likely be on a recall hold until at least the fourth quarter of the year. It was announced yesterday and there is a long thread about it.
  14. Annoying thing about the Maverick- bed length too short

    4 - Put the tool in the back seat. 5 - open the rear window if you have one and let the tool stick through it.
  15. Can I expect 10 years of reliable service from 2.0 EB Maverick?

    I would try to get these fixed under the full warranty before it ends at 36k miles.
  16. Looking for a headlight demonstration near Baytown

    My impression is that the Mavericks headlights are better than the 2006 Tacoma it is replacing and a Corolla I used to own but not nearly as good as a 2021 Forester Limited that we have. The Foresters headlights even focus and turn left and right as you go around curves. If the Maverick does...
  17. Can I expect 10 years of reliable service from 2.0 EB Maverick?

    I would be interest too. At 30K miles it would be good to decide if an extended warranty might make sense if your are going to to keep it longer. You can still buy one up to when you hit 36k miles and the full warranty ends. In this crazy market you can also likely sell it for a decent...
  18. Can I expect 10 years of reliable service from 2.0 EB Maverick?

    Can I expect 10 years of reliable service from 2.0 EB Maverick? It really depends on the miles you will be driving. One thing to look at is how much a 10 year extended warranty would cost for different mileage coverage. https://www.floodfordesp.com/ For 85k, 100k, 125k, and 150k, and 175K...
