  1. Jumping another vehicle FROM the Maverick hybrid?

    Manual has instructions for jumping the truck but (best I can tell) not the other way around. If I need to use the Maverick as a booster vehicle should I open the cabin doors and go directly from the battery in order to make a connection to the negative terminal of the battery or should I use...
  2. Soft dog crate recommendations?

    Anyone using a soft crate/kennel for their dog in the back seat they really like?
  3. M8 bed holes rust prevention?

    Got a question about the M8 threaded holes across both sides of the top of the bed which some people use for installing cargo rails. I have a spray in liner which has made it really difficult to examine this area but I plan on bolting some things on there in the future. I'm wondering what...
  4. Jumpy dogs out there?

    Anyone else out there have a jumpy dog that has figured out how to squeeze itself between the b-pillars and the headrests of the front seats?
  5. Both cactus grays in 1 photo on the same truck

    Opened the tailgate today to find some interesting lighting conditions... I didn't swap out the tailgate either. It really is the same color.
  6. How to protect while waiting for paint?

    Found a small rock chip about a week and a half ago. Ordered a touch up pen that was estimated to arrive last Friday but now is on backorder. New estimate is Aug 31st availability + shipping time before paint arrives. Should I do anything to protect the chipped area before the touch up paint...
  7. Ceramic coating experience/review?

    Anyone have first-hand experience using a ceramic coating on your toilet? or these fancy polymer coatings intended for the same purpose? Do they work? Worth it? Would love to do less cleaning there.
  8. Touch up paint pen usage tips?

    Just ordered an OEM paint pen for minor touch up but I haven't used these before and I'm looking for some help or tips on getting the best results from it. My plan: Thorough clean and dry area around chip with ph-neutral car wash soap. Use a small bit of polishing compound to smooth out small...
  9. Dual 12v batteries in parallel?

    Anyone done it? Just curious if anyone has resorted to drastic measures yet to address battery issues.
  10. A 3/4-ton truck?

    I recently learned that terms like "half-ton truck", "three-quarter-ton truck", etc. continue to be associated with certain classes of trucks rather than the capacities or capabilities of the vehicles. As an example, an F-150 is apparently still considered a "half-ton truck" despite some...
  11. Truck Journal App - recommendations?

    What are the best non-Ford apps to pair with my Maverick? I see a lot people tracking trips, overall mpg, maintenance, etc. Curious what you'd recommend. Thanks!
  12. What did YOU cross shop with the Maverick?

    I'm itching to know.
  13. F-150 ⚡ loses ~1/4 range under load

    Just interesting reading. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/6/23749844/ford-f150-lightning-payload-range-loss-aaa
  14. Science-ing Auto Start Stop

    I just happened upon this 4-yr old video about the fuel impact of auto start-stop. It sure seems like a good idea to just let it do its thing but I know there are aftermarket products built specifically to disable it every time the vehicle starts. I'm not clear what the reasoning is for wanting...
  15. Eating in the CLT airport cell phone lot?

    Did I interrupt your meal? I couldn't help myself - I had to do a double take when I walked by your truck today. Thank you so much for answering my wave (mid-entree!) and letting me ask you about your Cactus Gray XLT. It's probably the second one I've seen in person and the first time I've...
  16. Pizza tracker tricks/tips?

    Is there some combination of web browser, operating system, time of day, and/or ritual chanting that makes this thing work any better? I've tried various platforms and configurations but haven't stumbled upon anything consistent yet. Hoping somebody else has had better luck.
  17. Photo request: old SIBLs - any vehicle

    Anyone have photos of a non-UV protected spray-in liner that's more than a couple years old? Local shop insists I'll be back in a few years to pay a higher price for renewing the liner unless I get the UV protected version from the start. I'm pretty sure I can live with the fading but I'm...
  18. See the Maverick next to any vehicle (your choice), at scale

    Carsized.com was finally able to add the Maverick. Now you can view it scaled appropriately side-by-side or overlaid with any other vehicle in their database. Great tool for those of us who still don't see these trucks on the road, or dealer lots. The site still seems to be missing a lot of...
  19. Hybrid with 4K tow? 🤔 What's going on here?

    2022 Lariat for sale in NC and photo claims Hybrid with 4K towing. Unless I'm reading the order guide wrong, those two couldn't be combined in 2022. Could this be an accident/mistake? aftermarket upgrade? some config I missed? something else?
  20. MY23 EPA city MPG reduction?

    Really just a curiosity question here: It looks like the EPA dropped the city MPG to 40 for MY23 down from 42 in MY22. Any ideas as to why? Was there a change in testing procedure, or some kind of update to the vehicle that caused this reduction, or perhaps just retested and 2 mpg is within...
