  1. Annoying thing about the Maverick- bed length too short

    I'm 5'7" and the bed is still a little tall for me (previous '07 Ford Ranger), but I'll put up the imperfections because it is still a nifty little vehicle shaped like a pickup truck. I'm planning on hauling 15 bags of 2 cu. ft. mulch tomorrow. It will be my first time "working" the Mav.
  2. People who had a Ranger before the Maverick

    Owned old-model Rangers 1984 4cyl 4-spd with actual overdrive, 1995 4cyl 5-spd, and 2007 4 cyl 5-spd --that's 39 years behind the wheel of Ford's cheapest pickups. Always utilitarian, daily drivers and even towed a pair of ATVs from KY to Michigan's Silver Lake sand dunes. The Maverick XLT...
  3. Weird small metal "key" in sealed envelope

    Not Lariat only. I have 2023 XLT Ecoboost and there was one in my glove box, envelope opened, but I didn't do it - cross my heart!
  4. MostPlus soft tri-fold tonneau cover installed review & photos

    Here is my review on Amazon: Received undamaged MostPlus soft trifold tonneau for 2022-23 Ford Maverick within a week of order via UPS. Came with 4-LED touch light (req. 3 AAA not inclu.), replacement metal threaded fasteners and knuckle for rear clamps, adhesive pads in case you need paint...
  5. Ride Quality on the road.

    Having receiving my XLT EB FWD 3 days ago after 16-month wait I wanted to share my opinion on ride quality and include some observations based on dimensions. My wife drives a 2020 Toyota RAV 4 XLE Hybrid we bought new and when parking the 2023 Maverick inside the garage next to her RAV 4, I was...

  8. Time For Venting, Whining & Sniveling

    Ordered 11/4/2021 XLT 2.0EB FWD. CP360 was the only constraint item and left order unchanged. All weather floor mats and a hitch were the only other options. According to Ford email delivery to Danville, KY dealer 2/22 -2/28/23 which makes that 16 months. Frustration over long ship duration...
  9. Instinctively reaching for a shift lever... is it just me?

    Began driving legally at 16 now 67 and have always driven manual 3, 4, 5, 6 speeds in passenger vehicles. Getting lazy in my days looking forward to the auto. My XLT EB FWD delivery expected by 2/28/2023 (16 months).
  10. Anyone who placed an order in 2021 still waiting for their Maverick?

    First week of Nov 2021 EB XLT. Email from Ford today says shipping to dealer 22nd - 28th this month. 16 months is not all that bad considering supply chains extending outside the US during pandemic.
  11. The long arm of the . . . Hybrid and EV road tax fees likely coming to you. [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Thanks for the clarification of hybrid charge being half EV - my oversight.
  12. The long arm of the . . . Hybrid and EV road tax fees likely coming to you. [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    In Kentucky, highway fuels have always been taxed with those revenues going to a "road fund" toward highway maintenance. As automobiles have become more fuel efficient, lawmakers have kicked around ideas of boosting ever decreasing "road fund" revenues. Kentucky has decided to begin collecting...
  13. Ford Vehicle Tracking showing as an XL but should be XLT

    Tracker shows XL on my XLT as well. All else is displayed correct as ordered. The application is only for delivering information to the consumer and not production related - a "nicety". Enjoy your order.
  14. Delivery ETA once shipped

    My XLT EB is scheduled for production week of January 23, but I haven't received a delivery notification. Dealership is in Danville, KY Stuart Powell Ford. Been waiting since first week of November 2021.
  15. No hope. Anyone else feel this way?

    Mine will be 15 months from order to build date. I figure 2 more months on top of that for delivery, maybe more. The only constraint item on my xlt is CP360 and I figure it's still worth the wait. Remember... “HAVING IS NOT SO PLEASING A THING, AFTER ALL, AS WANTING. IT IS NOT LOGICAL BUT...

  17. Car Insurance for Your New Maverick?

I'm in rural KY, have had insurance with Shield of Shelter for well over 10 years, aged 66 yrs., '23 Maverick XLT EB fwd C360 hitch on the road just beyond $27K quoted $358/6mo. Oh, I have nothing negative on...

    Fleabay, here is the link you can copy/paste - sorry for the length. Comes with orange thread but you may have to furnish your own needle...
  19. Looking for some advice for my situation.

    I have an order for XLT EB CP360 with hitch and all weather floor mats that was transitioned from '22 to '23 order and I had to sign the transition order so that the dealership could submit it. I agree with others' advice to keep the vehicle. What you do after that concentrate on making the...
