  1. Dealer says I can use any brand full synthetic oil for my Maverick

    I'd already made up my mind to use factory oil filters ( to avoid any possible conflicts). I was surprised when I bought the Ford filter, (at the dealership) that it was only 6 bucks and some change. I don't think you can buy any decent aftermarket filter for 6 bucks! Also... be aware that...
  2. Dealer says I can use any brand full synthetic oil for my Maverick

    I AM 70. And I will still do my own maintenance. Simply because I want it done RIGHT! I was an auto mech for years, and then ran a tool truck for years. I can't begin to tell you the horror stories. Wrong filter= blown engine. Loose ( or stripped drain plugs) Differentials never refilled. I...
  3. Right Rear window stuck down? Quick Fix!

    Auto down driver only. I'm a cheapskate. Only ONE option (hitch)
  4. Right Rear window stuck down? Quick Fix!

    Can't thank you enough for this! Happened to me last night. I ended up taping over the opening because they were calling for rain. Then later, I searched online and found your post. I just got back in from following your instructions and it worked perfectly. I'd emailed my service manager...
  5. Mavrick vs Toyota Stout

    I've had 3 Rangers, and loved them all. I seriously looked at a Tacoma a few years back. You could still get a 4 cyl, manual trans.. All I could find on the lot were Tacomas in the 35 to 45 thousand range.. What amazed me most was that an F-150 full size got the same or BETTER mpg than a...
  6. What do you say to family, friends & co-workers that see you as a complete moron for putting up with this maverick debacle?

    I prefer to say suck it. Seriously though, a lot of people thought I was nuts for waiting 15 months... However, for a brand new vehicle, with warranty, that's averaging 40.1 since new, for UNDER 20K? Let 'em laugh
  7. Found this surprise under my seat

    That "random wire" is the mating pigtail for a wiring plug behind the bed cubby access panels. Wire your choice of sockets, lights, etc. and simply plug it in.
  8. My Maverick Steel Wheel Upgrade: Looking good or ugly?

    I like it. I have the same color truck and have wondered about painting the wheels. I think I might use a darker metallic gray..
  9. 25K miles in my Hybrid. Best MPG tips

    I've had my hybrid for a little over three months now XL with 1 option (hitch package) I had been reading about the outlandish mileage claims for well over a year now. And didn't really believe them. Now? I'm a true believer. I find taking the back roads gives better mileage than the straight...
  10. 🤝 List of honest dealerships for Ford Maverick buyers

    Bell Ford. Adrian, Michigan. They were 100% up front with me. They kept me posted every step of the way. I rolled my 2022 into a 2023 and got 2700 back from Ford. I ended up paying LESS the MSRP. Can't say enough good about them. Be sure to ask for Beth Noden
  11. Remove Options ASAP? What?

    I have an excellent dealer. They kept me updated on all the production slowdowns. But I ordered only ONE option (Trailer hitch) so none of them really applied to me. Still, I waited 15 months. But I can honestly say now, it was worth the wait!
  12. New Maverick Hybrid my 1400 mile road trip review

    I've got about 1500 miles on mine. I too, waited 15 months. But it was worth it. I ordered a strippo with a hitch. I had my 2022 order rolled over to a 2023 and got cruise control standard. My mileage right now is averaging between 37 and 39 over all. I'm finding out I get BETTER mileage by...

    What a great idea! I just ordered two of the FITS plugs from Etsy myself
