I was the same, ordered in July '21 delivered Feb '22 but there was never an option for an AWD Hybrid. I did have the battery issue, but my dealer / service department replaced the battery cables & battery and never had any issues again. I've even added front/rear security cameras with parking...
I was one of the 1st original Maverick Hybrid owners; I actually have the "First Edition", and I LOVE it! But the only item that wasn't offered (at that time) that I wanted was the AWD version, so I would stay Hybrid with the AWD.
I tell myself that I received the 1st "First Edition" Rapid Red Hybrid in SoCal. I used to drive her along the coast getting so many questions and praises! She was so photogenic with the Queen Mary that I called her "Lil Queen" or "Queenie".
To be honest I've heard / read reviewers talking about this...and I scratch my head. I ordered mine (pre-production) & bought one of the 1st "2022 First Edition Lariat" Hybrid Mav's and to this day could not be happier! I lived in SoCal when it was finally delivered, so I have a lot of freeway...
Hi Larry, bug deflector looks good & I'm also former USMC as was my father. I've always wanted to get the deflector but was worried about material(s) getting stuck between deflector / hood. Is it a problem during washing? Do you worry about it weathering, fading or cracking?
UPDATE: 2/3/25 Tacoma WA to Boise ID 591 miles during a "Weather Travel Alert"
So, I started my trip around 7am knowing that WA just had a significant snowstorm, and my drive home could turn into a multiple day(s) trip. It was snowing almost from the beginning and remained steady, but the roads...
Hi Daniel, I used to work in the Sorrento Valley for 9 yrs (commuting from San Clemente) before moving back up to H.B. while working in Irvine. I made a pretty quick decision moving to Idaho when my youngest son decided to get a place on his own. I spent only a few weeks researching online to...
Moved to Idaho (from Huntington Beach, CA) a few months ago and new it was time to change my original stock tires for some A/T's. I really struggled with this never having to purchase A/T tires before. I did my research and was down to (Falken Wildpeak, Toyo Open Country & Cooper Road &...
I think I'm agreeing with you, but it looks so good on sunny days!
What really gets me is that both times it's just sitting in the parking lot and the car next to me backs out causing so much damage!!!
Thanks for the nice comment.
Final Update:
I completed my move to Idaho, and I checked out the Lithia Ford Paint & Body. It's a large dealership with the body shop in its own building at one end of the lot. They suggested to schedule repairs post-Thanksgiving to avoid holiday delays. I dropped-off Dec 2nd and picked-up...
