  1. How long do you plan to keep your Maverick?

    Technology keeps improving cars. 5 years from now there may be a good reason to update. Hopefully, used Mavericks will still be in demand then.
  2. Ford Marketing - Maverick Name - 1970's Maverick

    My neighbor still has an original Maverick. 400+hp, it can do wheelies. Everybody needs a hobby!
  3. Ford Maverick hybrid 2023 doors lock

    Doors locking by itself has happened to me about 10 times now, always w/ key in ignition, truck off. I leave them in ignition lock while I load up. Fortunately I can still remember 6 digits, & used door key pad. to get it unlocked. Glad to know it is supposed to do this & nothing is amiss.
  4. In what ways has your Maverick EXCEEDED expectations?

    My dog can climb into this truck, the old Tundra was getting to be a problem for him.
  5. Dealer Trade my Mav?

    The nickname BS is a bad omen for a car. Mav had better vibes
  6. Maverick is a Failure Article

    Maybe an off-topic comment, but I hope Ford is just being careful about ramping up production without the proper quality control measures in place. Let''s go with that!
  7. Maverick is a Failure Article

    Well, my dealer was happy to sell me a Maverick - not so much for that profit margin, but for the margin he made off my trade in. I made it clear the only truck I was going to buy was a Maverick.
  8. Never understood Rancheros or El Caminos until owning my Maverick

    traded a perfectly good Tundra for Maverick. Mainly so I could keep it in garage. Got tired of digging walnut shells from around engine. Darn squirrels!!
  9. Defending Ford's Production Shortages

    Maybe Ford is pretty happy with the situation. People come to dealers to buy small truck with low profit margin, get frustrated waiting, end up buying high profit alternative. They are a business.
  10. ALTO BLUE Maverick Photos / Club

    My mistake - I looked at the can label - paint was for my 2003 Honda Odyssey. Midnight blue. Still is a pretty good match. I usually get touch up paint right away for a new car, but no need this tine.
  11. ALTO BLUE Maverick Photos / Club

    I had some leftover paint (fender repair) from my daughter's 2000 Focus ZX3. I used it to touch up the 1st rock nicks. Matches perfectly. So maybe Alto Blue is just a new name? Put on mudflaps now, so hopefully no more rock chips.
  12. Tailgate letters on Alto Blue

    I got them from BDTrims There are lots of options. They should offer magnetic ones so you change change them around.
  13. Tailgate letters on Alto Blue

    Black with Silver outline. Definitely worth the $30.
  14. What Did You Love or Hate About Your Last Vehicle Before Maverick?

    Traded in a 2005 Tundra. Was the most reliable vehicle I ever owned. Went thru 3 exhaust systems, but that was over 18 years. It used lots of gas, esp in winter won't miss that. I am hoping Ford has done their homework on reliability so I can just enjoy the ride for a long time.
  15. Advice on interior protection film?

    Normally wouldn't cobble on a new truck, but this is not a permanent mod. I trimmed some couch leather (wife will never miss it) & retained with vacuum hose split longways. Staying put so far & window goes up/down without complaint.
  16. Your age / occupation?

    Septuagenarian (70+) Retired Quality Engineer Currently immersed in community band playing Euphonium One selling point for Maverick (like Ford needs another one) is that the low step in height is good for us geezers.
  17. Advice on interior protection film?

    Looks like the weather tech protectors are just what I need. Thanks for helping avoid something that was not going to work.
  18. Advice on interior protection film?

    Took delivery of new XLT yesterday. Lovin' it! My dog loves to go for truck rides, esp. in warm weather when he gets to stick his head out the window (never on highway). On my last truck, this resulted in some wear from his nails on top ledge of door panel. I am thinking of putting some...
  19. Hi Maverick crowd

    I wanted a Hybrid but it was looking like another year of waiting. We don't drive the truck much (my trade-in was a 2005 with 91K miles) so the extra gas cost won't break the bank. I figure we could trade it for a plug-in a few years down the road. Probably other manufactures will offer...
  20. Hi Maverick crowd

    Bought a Maverick just yesterday. New XLT Ecoboost FWD Alto Blue. Have been looking for a Hybrid, but got tired of waiting for one to pop up. I don't think there will be any downside to the EB power, so all is good. Looking forward to learning all things Maverick.
