I drove a ‘05 F-150 XL 2WD with a 6 banger before taking delivery of a ‘23 Hybrid XLT. I was getting ~17MPG with general use and upwards of 20MPG on extended highway travel. I am amazed at the ~50MPG the Maverick gets around town. As you can see, petro use is 1/3 of what I had been getting...
a relative experienced repeated problems with a new Cadillac a few years back in Ohio. Software issue that kept draining the battery. Eventually he took the issue to the Ohio Attorney General under the Lemon law. GM took the car back 14 months into the lease and settled the issue with a...
When I installed a BackFLIp G2 hard folding bed cover, I removed the side panels of the OEM drop-in bed liner to locate the holes in the bed. It was just a matter of removing the mounting eyelets and one small screw on each side of the bed near the tailgate. Toward the front, near the cab on...
I had to remove the side panels for access to the drain holes located on each side toward the front by the cab. The holes have rubber plugs that are easily removed.
I then fished a wire through the hole all the way to the ground, attached the drain tube to the wire and pulled it back up...
There have been a few posts of Maverick Hybrid owners having their vehicle totaled in an accident in spite of pictures that didn't indicate a complete wipeout. My question - with some selling prices (new & used) going for over MSRP and the likelyhood of not being able to order a replacement...
I just installed a BakFlip G2 tri-fold hard bed cover that "tips up" by the rear window once fully opened. Its very well made and gives maximum access to the bed when open. There are self-storing supports on each side once opened and tipped to hold the folded cover in place with three large...
Tks - Long MacArthur has a You Tube video showing the install of a Ford OEM hard folding bed cover very similar to the BakFlip. The Maverick in the video did not have a drop-in bed liner so the holes in the bed where the drain tubes were run were visible. Recommend this video for the DIY installer.
Going over the install directions for the hard folding bed cover and the directions show having to remove the bed liner to route the bed cover drain tubes (2) to the holes in the bed through which the tubes drain. It's a factory installed Ford Maverick OEM bed liner and it looks like a lot of...
Original order placed for a Maverick XLT hybrid by a different buyer early Q4 2021. I had a Lighting on order at the time but cancelled late 2021 when I learned of the Maverick as it better suited my needs. Same dealer handling the Lightening called me mid-March 2022 alerting me the original...
