Thanks a mil for the info, Bombast. Appreciate it! Incidentally, my Fuelly average after five fill-ups (38.9) is almost identical to yours, although mine keeps going up -- last mpg was 42.5, my best thus far.
Am planning a +4000-mile road trip early next month to the three states I have not visited (my bucket list states -- Wyoming and the Dakotas). Excluding my home Maryland, I'll travel through five states each that voted Democratic and Republican in the last Presidential election. Will chronicle...
BOMBAST: Was it Fuse 3? If power turns off, how does parking mode work? What type of Dash cam did you install, if you'd be so kind to let me know? Plan on installing Viofo 119 v3. Thanks!
My hybrid XL with taxes and fees out the door was just under $25K. Dropped about $11k down, charged $2.5K on my Ford CC (maximum allowed by dealer), and financed a little more than $11K for 36 months at 0%. Payment is manageable. Love the truck! Getting about 40 mpg with mixed driving. It...
Vanilla iconic silver hybrid XL with 360, trailer hitch and back seat 400w inverter. Build completed and emailed today (11.30). Delivery expected by new year's eve. Custom low-key wheels to follow. HIP-HIP-Hooray!
Two delays in one day (yesterday) for me: first from 10.11 to 10.18, followed a few hours later with another e-mail to 10.25.21. Looks like build date will be closer to Christmas, not Thanksgiving!
Just received an e-mail from Ford too. My build date was also delayed a week, from 10.11 to 10.18. Will they be building only hybrid or silver trucks that week? Saw that another XL was delayed a week. Mine's a vanilla iconic silver XL with 360, trailer hitch and 100v/400w outlet.
Incidentally, Iām 66 and retired. Interesting how Maverick appeals to this older demographic, when Fordās target was younger buyers. Am sure that the clubās greater proportion of over 50ās will mirror the general population. Maybe things will change if the truck is not reliable, the price...
Hadnāt planned to buy, especially since I would have to trade/sell my 2013 Outback. But I needed a truck ā tired of putting all the junk I do in the Subie. A Maverick XL checked all my boxes ā inexpensive pickup, great fuel economy, good tech ā and since I am using it in a business, have the...
The 40' number is official from Ford. See https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North%20America/US/product/2022/maverick/pdf/2022-Ford-Maverick-Technical-Specifications.pdf
There is a difference between turning radius and turning circle (isn't radius half of the circle?). I usually...
Current Outback and Maverick have similar dimensions ā but the latter is 20 lbs heavier, 8 inches longer, 2 inches higher and 13ā more wheelbase (all figures rounded). About the same width, ground clearance, rear seat space, approach and departure angles. Big difference for me is the 4 ft in...
Thanks for the photo, Dan. Visibility is another strong suit of the Outback. Seems like Maverick will also have good visibility. I like the wide expanse of windshield compared to the Subie. Hope the highway MPG beats the Outback (it shines with cruise control on the highway but is lousy in...
Iām with you, Old Ranchero. Also like the utilitarian look of steelies. Saves money and looks functional. May make use of/borrow your plan to replace after 36K miles, if the tires hold out until then.
Typically, how long is it from build to delivery? My build is scheduled for 10.11. Because my XL was not optioned-out, date from order to build was less than 75 days.
Like Scout, I really loved alto blue but cheap me did not want to pay extra for it. My Maverick is vanilla, with only co-pilot 360, trailer hitch and power outlet, which adds only $70 to my monthly insurance (two other Subarus). A cheap hybrid for my consulting and accounting gig. Carbonized...
