  1. If you bought Maverick again today… Hybrid or EcoBoost

    Just ordered my third one on Wednesday. All have been hybrids. 2nd and 3rd are with the AWD 4K Tow package.
  2. If you reordered your Maverick TODAY… what trim are you picking?

    I just ordered my third on Wednesday. All have been Lariats.
  3. Pretty cool right : Matchbox Ford Maverick!

    They need to make one with busted rear end.
  4. Theory why Mavericks get rear-ended so much

    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.
  5. Theory why Mavericks get rear-ended so much

    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...
  6. Theory why Mavericks get rear-ended so much

    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...
  7. Theory why Mavericks get rear-ended so much

    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...
  8. 2025 Lariat - EZ Pass Transponder Placement

    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...
  9. Highway MPG: 2025 Hybrid AWD, 4k tow package

    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...
  10. Did you upgrade from 1st gen to 2025 for AWD Hybrid 4k tow?

    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...
  11. Mabett Giveaway: Rear End Challenge - Show Your Maverick's Rear View! 📸

    Hope this qualifies! Tail of Daisy after getting rear-ended in December. New Maverick arrives next week.
  12. So Sad, Too Bad... dreaded rear-ended

    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...
  13. So Sad, Too Bad... dreaded rear-ended

    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...
  14. What's your Maverick hauling in the bed? [Photos Edition]

    It is really sad that I never think to take a picture. I'm sure someone on the road saw me and thought "holy heck, no one is ever gonna believe what I just saw". Sadly I only have one photo of the bed in use. Many many trips picking up odd wood scraps that my wife finds for free. They have...
  15. Harbor Freight 5000 lb hitch receiver DIY install

    Just called my dealer and they said that they can't find a 7-pin made by Ford for the Mav. Do you have a part number? Or was it a 3rd-party adapter that you had the dealer install for you? If so, which one did you go with?
  16. Universal grumbling or?

    I find in the age of the internet that the grumblers get much more air time than their counterparts. Every manufacturer has had bad cars at some point. Some more than others. Don't forget the old saying Found On Road Dead and my favorite Fix Or Repair Daily. Haven't heard them in the last...
  17. My neighbors must be getting sick of me setting off my Maverick's alarm.

    I've had my Lariat for just about a month. In that time I have set off the panic alarm 7 times. Most of the times were when I was getting in after my daughter adjusted the seat and the fob hit the steering wheel. Then my favorite was while sitting in my home office and bump it while reaching...
  18. Woot! Hybrid Lariat in White Finally Arrived

    Update: Drove from Western CT to South Western VT this morning, got a pretty consistent 45mpg. Currently at 400 miles with 200 estimated to go, a third of a tank left. Will try to update when I get home tomorrow night.
