Here's the website that I used to get me started. His measurements are pretty spot on for the Ford Maverick. I didn't glue the pieces together (just in case something ever broke) and use stainless steel self-taping screws to hold everything together instead. I have seen others that use 1"...

I built a similar (1 1/4 inch) PVC rack for 1 or 2 heavy ebikes. So far it's working out flawlessly!

I've installed a cubby hole piece to mount my cell phone holder and put a ECO sticker on the phone holder itself to remind me to initiate ECO mode. Unfortunately the sticker is behind my (installed) phone so I can't always see the ECO reminder :rolleyes:

After 10 months of driving my Lariat hybrid I've found that driving with a soft right foot will consistently give me 46-48 mpg in combined city/highway driving in the ECO mode. Should I try the Slippery Mode to see if I can break that 50 mpg barrier? My biggest gripe with the Maverick is...

I know hard covers are pretty pricey, but in terms of security, having a (folding or rolling) hard cover over your Maverick bed is like having both the utility of a small pickup and the comfort of a mid-sized car with a huge secure trunk. With a soft cover, all it takes is a curious thief with a...

This is the model bed cover I bought and I love it! My only problem right now is a sparrow who is currently courting the reflections of himself in the back and side windows and sh*tting all over the bed cover in the process!

Dave, You've probably considered this already, but every bed cover out there will leak a little bit, even if it's only a couple tablespoons after a heavy rain storm. More importantly, however, a locking hard cover (either roll up or hard tri-fold) is the only way to go in terms of bed...

I had actually ordered TWO identical Mav Lariat Lux hybrids from two different dealerships. Wouldn't you know it... they BOTH lost their catalytic converters at the Portland storage facility! I ended up buying the first one to get fixed and the other dealership I ordered from ended up selling...

Lately I've been driving my hybrid Maverick with the "L" button on the transmission wheel engaged all the time and it seems to give me more of a "one-pedal" driving experience like in my Tesla Model 3. Are there any advantages (or disadvantages) to driving with the "L" button engaged ALL the...

How about a meet up at the Light House park by the Mukilteo/Clinton ferry dock?

I got mine in the mail a couple weeks after bringing my Mav into the dealership for the air bag recall. It's the first water bottle I've found that actually fits snugly into the door pockets!l Does it compensate for having to wait 13 months for my new Maverick? Not really. But it's something!

We just got back from a 3,306-mile road trip from northern Washington State to Arizona and back. My 22' Lariat hybrid Mav averaged 35.8 mpg for the entire trip and performed perfectly, even through the mountains with heavy snow on the roadway. Compared to our Tesla Model 3, this truck is...

I was at the Anacortes, WA Ford dealership yesterday for an airbag recall on my Maverick when a truck hauler with new Mavericks rolled into the dealership. The truck came in with 4 Mavs and left with 4. Heading north? :rolleyes:

We also had a nice time at the Maverick gathering in Renton, WA on Saturday but somehow my truck got left out of any posted photos! I guess Iconic Silver Mavs just blend into the background :cool:

I scheduled my first (free) oil change for late February with my dealership. I should have close to 3K miles on my 22' hybrid Lariat by then. Are there any other things I should have them look at while I'm in for the initial oil change? They're telling me there are no safety recalls or software...

This has probably been addressed before, but having so many different drive modes (Normal, Eco, Slippery, Tow/Haul, and Sport) is pretty useful, though the Eco mode best fits my needs and driving style. However, EVERY SINGLE TIME I get into my Lariat Maverick, I need to stop and push the center...

Same from Oak Harbor - :)

It's a Maverick. Honest. Oak Harbor, WA

We live on an island where the max speed is 55 in some places and until yesterday I had never driven our new (four months old) 2022 hybrid Lariat on the Interstate. After cruising at 70-75 mph for several hours down I-5, I confirmed that Maverick rides more QUIETLY and more COMFORTABLY than our...

It was my understanding that the Maverick under plate was designed for a better drag coefficient = slightly better gas mileage? My question would be: If you're not doing it yourself, is a Maverick oil change more expensive than say, an old Ford Ranger, because of the extra time and effort it...
