  1. MPG into headwind with temps below 10 degrees

    "below 20 and into a headwind can cost you about 20% mpg" Yes, except if you're in an electric car. Then it costs you 100% mpg.
  2. Mau's One-Year Peru Adventure with the 2022 Ford Maverick Lariat FX4

    From Ford Peru website: Maverick Desde US$ 29,990.00 -
  3. D-Rings front of bed XL?

    I have on order a '24 XL. I have never seen a Maverick bed in person; will do so for first time when the vehicle is delivered. I want to add bed floor D-Rings in the position that Ford has put them on them on all other models of Maverick - one each side on bed floor at front of bed...
  4. Anyone else considering not buying?!

    I've considered buying now/soon because of higher interest rates. I thought that by now the higher rates might strand Ford dealers with unsold Mavericks that had been ordered but not delivered due to higher rates. I don't see that any more vehicles are available; the greater interest expense...
  5. Ten Mavericks lost in East Palestine train derailment ??

    Why do Mavericks made in Mexico need to move from Pittsburgh, PA area to St. Louis, MO area? Is there not a more sensible way from the border to the midwest?
  6. If they made a full EV Maverick, would you buy, switch? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Never would buy an all EV Maverick, nor a hybrid one. Must be ICE only, no battery.
  7. Sea of Maverick XL's spotted at dealer! 🌊

    There are also a lot of white XL eco-Mavericks at PHX dealers and have been for awhile. So, once the backlog of fleet orders has been satisfied (those buyers more important than you or me) there will be some more capacity for retail orders. Right? I am fine with what I have for awhile and in no...
  8. Tired of People Bashing Ford over Delays

    Ford failed to have capacity to handle orders/production of a vehicle they worked hard to make desirable in the market. Once introduced, Ford screwed up. Simple. Would the company still be around had they done this with the wonderful new Mustang in 1964 or the revolutionary Taurus in 1985 or...
  9. What's your alternate plan if your Maverick can't be built for 2023?

    I have given up on Ford - Maverick or anything else. Love looks, size and eco-boost powertrain of Maverick and buying with EAA membership. But, despite a reasonable MSRP if one can be bought, the aggravation is beyond my tolerance. Solution would be to keep my perfectly fine '15 Ford Transit...
  10. Maverick Allocation Formula Mirrors The Bronco - Bloomberg

    And another niche vehicle whose introduction Ford screwed up was the fabulous retro T-Bird. You couldn't get them (or even sit in one) and then Ford couldn't sell them. They did everything wrong with the selling of that fine car.
  11. Maverick Allocation Formula Mirrors The Bronco - Bloomberg

    This is Ford. This is the way it has been. Ford does care; they want to do it right. They want to earn profits to pay shareholders dividends. They want to please customers. They just can't. They do design and make fine vehicles; they just fail at planning and pleasing buyers. What is the...
  12. Three more weeks, then I am out.

    Ford botches the introduction of a new (and very desirable) vehicle? This is nothing new. Ford has been doing this for decades; they are horrible at new vehicle introduction. How many times has this happened with the terribly important and often updated F-150? I can't count. What about the new...
  13. 2023 Maverick ordering begins August 16, 2022; production begins October 24, 2022

    Yes, I also want to know what changes there will be for MY 23. But no hurry and no foul if Ford doesn't come up with a package I want. Which is an 2.0T XL with cruise. Don't offer it; I won't get one. I'm happy with my '15 FTC. It is a base vehicle with optional cruise. I'm happy to keep it...
  14. Not my truck but at Tampa Dealership with MARKET ADJUSTMENT mark up

    It is also at "Brandon" Ford.
  15. Backup Camera/Tailgate Down

    "I wonder if someone can 3D print a pivoting bracket for the Ford logo so it swings down when the tailgate is opened." Ford can do this. They already did it with the pivoting tail light on the '49-'51 Country Squire wagons.
  16. Shadow Black XL Delivered and Mods Installed: Window Air Deflectors + Tailgate Assist Struts

    The tailgate assist is not quite what I want but it is interesting. Is there a smart way to lock the tailgate down so that it will not bounce? I want to carry one or two bicycles, with front wheel intact on the bike in the front of the bed and rear wheel resting on the tailgate. I will tie down...
  17. Bicycles & bike in Maverick at OSH

    Thanks. These are bicycles I am carrying - not motorcycles. They are big - like Dutch city bikes. I prefer not to take off the front wheel but I can. I prefer to load one or two or three assembled bicycles in a vehicle - without removing the front wheel. I want them in fully assembled, if...
  18. Bicycles & bike in Maverick at OSH

    I own and ride multiple city bikes. Generally they are larger frames and longer - unlike the little one displayed in the Maverick bed at Oshkosh. In the past for bikes I have used a Ranchero, an El Camino, an F-150, and now am using a Ford Transit Connect SWB. The FTC is great because the...
