  1. Article: My Name Is Sal Gusmano, and I Break Ford Vehicles for a Living (at Michigan Proving Grounds)

    Ford no doubt spends LOTS of money on folks like Sal and we appreciate that. I just wish they would have spent just a little bit more to improve the quality of and the fit of the plastic parts in and under the dashboard of the Maverick. I might still have one if they had.
  2. Looking to buy used .

    I’m not in SFL, (anymore) and mine were Azure Gray, not red. I traded a 24 Lariat Hybrid and a 24 XLT (LUX) FX4, 4K Tow. The Lariat had 6K miles and the XLT 3K miles. Yes I know it cost me a pot of money, but both my Mavericks had horrible dash rattles when temps got below 60 degrees or so...
  3. Rattle from under dashboard?

    Get something else that does not have a "built in" dash rattle. i would still have my 24 XLT/FX4 LUX 4K Tow if it wasn’t for a very loud/heavy dash rattle when it was below 65 degrees outside.
  4. How do you start/warm-up a hybrid engine in extreme cold

    On my 2024 Lariat Hybrid, I would press accelerator all the way to the floor when I pressed start button. Gas engine would start and stay running for a few minutes.
  5. What to look for when buying a used Maverick

    Here’s my $.02. I’m 82 & have maintained for the most part my own vehicles since I was 14. in my opinion Maverick is an exception concept. I’ve owned a new 24 Lariat Hybrid & a new 24 XLT Lux FX4, 4K. Tow. To me it’s the execution that’s flawed. Assembly in Mexico was good for me. Paint...
  6. XLT or Lariat for smoother ride

    Just my opinion at age 82, my 24 XLT LUX, FX4, 4K Tow rode smoother than my 24 Lariat Hybrid did.
  7. Things I wish I knew before I bought my Maverick

    That the dashboard rattles as bad as my TWO Mavericks did.
  8. Advice wanted for when I pick up my Maverick

    Take your test drive (if possible) in the coolest part of the day. Find some bumps in the road. Listen for dash or other interior rattles. Certainly hope you get a ā€œgoodā€ one. Maverick is very versatile & you should enjoy it.
  9. BUYING MY 1st MAVERICK | Advice Welcome!

    Good choice. Just be aware that Mavericks may have a very annoying dash rattle. I bought a new Jan 24 built Lariat Hybrid FWD. It was perfect for my old timer needs. Perfect size, very flexible vehicle. Then it developed a very loud and annoying rattle both in the dash somewhere and...
  10. Dropped card in windshield defroster vent

    I'm sorry it didn't get that hot. If it made all that dash plastic a solid piece and it didn't rattle I'd still have one of my 24 Mavericks.
  11. Where Have All The Problems Gone?

    Traded away a 24 Lariat Hybrid & later 24 XLT FX4 because of loud and persistent dash and above headliner rattles. I know I took a beating financially. I’m 82 now & interior rattles are just to irritating to put up with. Maverick is a great concept & I really liked them. Execution was...

  13. šŸ™‹‍ā™‚ļø What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

    Not an easy decision, but 7/21/25 traded my 24 XLT, LUX, FX4 after 8 months & 2100 miles. It was my second one too. Both were very annoying dash ā€œrattlersā€. The one just traded was parked outside in NE FL. Recent daytime temps in hi 90s. In the Mav temp showed as high as 125. Roads not...
  14. I hear Ford is coming out with an extended bed Maverick

    Long or short - Bet the dash still rattles.
  15. Anybody run the maverick on strictly premium fuel?

    If the "green" handle nozzle fits in your tank receiver -- Go for it :like:
  16. Rear window seal looks terrible

    My 24 XLT (with LUX) looks just like OP's photo. Maybe yours is an undocumented upgrade with the Lariat package. 😱
  17. What Do You Wish Someone Had Told You?

    How prone to interior rattles they are. My 24 Lariat had multiple rattles in the dash as well as above the headliner in front & rear. My 24 XLT, LUX, FX4, 4K TOW, has dash rattle that sounds like the defroster duct hitting something. Very annoying.
