  1. [Help] Car detailer said my Maverick is incompatible for dashcam parking mode?

    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.
  2. Hybrid first road trip MPG

    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...
  3. [Help] Car detailer said my Maverick is incompatible for dashcam parking mode?

    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!
  4. Buy outright or max out the 3 year, 0% from Ford?

    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...

    Any shots of XL in iconic silver?
  9. My Hybrid Build Date Pushed Back One Week

    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!
  10. šŸ›  10/18 Build Week Group

    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.
  11. Before Maverick, what were you looking at?

    Incidentally, Iā€™m 66 and retired. Interesting how Maverick appeals to this older demographic, when Fordā€™s target was younger buyers. Am sure that the clubā€™s greater proportion of over 50ā€™s will mirror the general population. Maybe things will change if the truck is not reliable, the price...
  12. Before Maverick, what were you looking at?

    Hadnā€™t 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...
  13. Ford Maverick vs Subaru Outback size and legroom compared

    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...
  14. Ford Maverick vs Subaru Outback size and legroom compared

    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...
  15. Ford Maverick vs Subaru Outback size and legroom compared

    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...
  16. Steelie color change - options?

    Iā€™m 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.
  17. No Maverick Scheduling Week of August 23 ā˜¹ļø

    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.
  18. Paint color, can’t decide!!!

    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...
