Full Replacement Insurance... never even heard of it. What insurance company do you use? I'll have to look into that. An extra $60/year is absolutely worth it.
My first Mav lasted 16 months. Second only made it 11 months. I hope there isn't pattern!
Did you stick with the same build or did you change anything?
Just received my third Maverick delivery. First two were totalled in rear-end collisions. I'm really really hoping that the third time is a charm.
Ordered May 13th, built July 6, and delivered August 6. So much faster than the 11 months it took to get the first one!
I have towed rented utility trailers full of junk and dirt, and two different campers. My first Mav was a 2023 hybrid with only 2K towing, when that was totaled I upgraded to a 2025 hybrid with the 4K tow package.
I'd be interested in hearing more about the lights you chose. If I do go with another Mav I really want to know I've done everything I can to avoid this happening again.
I assume it is distracted driving. While I am much less aggressive of a driver than I was in my youth, I haven't changed my driving any more than I did when driving my wife's minivans over the last 20 years. I have driven over 700,000 miles over the years but less than 25K between my two Mavs...
All three were stationary. First was sitting in a line of cars waiting to make a left turn, hadn't moved for 3-4 seconds; it was daylight. Driver immediately took off. Second I was sitting at a red light for 10 seconds, beautiful sunny day. Driver claimed they were looking at the light, not...
At this point I can provide anecdata...
I have been driving for 30+ years and was never rear-ended prior to owning a Maverick. In the last two years I have been rear-ended 3 times. First time left no perceptable damage, but the second totaled it. I got a new Mav and have had it just shy of a...
From what I have managed to read, the windshield on the 2025 Mavs, at least the Lariat, have a "metal" coating on the windshield for sun protection. Since getting my 2025 it is clear that my EZ Pass transponder is not being read. Other websites suggested that this metal coating is the culprit...
I had a 23 Lariat Hybrid that was totaled in December. At the beginning of May I picked up my new 25 Lariat Hybrid with 4K and 4WD. I've put on 4000 miles so far. I have noticed that the engine kicks in quicker and that my gas mileage is lower. In my 23 I was regularly getting 40-45mpg, now...

Sorry I didn't reply earlier. My mother's health was failing at the time of the accident and I have been busy caring for her.
I never expected the insurance to cover the difference for model year price increases, but I wish it would. My wife is gung ho on getting an attorney to sue. The only...
I ordered my beloved Maverick in September 2022, took delivery in August 2023. Now, December 2024, with 18K miles on it, I have been rear-ended by a young woman that was clearly distracted. Claims she was busy looking at the traffic light that had turned red 10 seconds prior to the impact...
