  1. New Mav + New Trailer (towed FL to MS with 2025 Maverick EcoBoost 4K Package)

    You are looking at Canada dollars not USA. It’s not cheap. Ours was loaded at $45k. They hold their resale. Saw several used 2023 units with a firm asking price of 41k. It came down to an Airstream Bambi for us. The Bambi wasn’t as nice and was 20k more. There are several American...
  2. It's official. Toyota is swooping in for the kill.

    Its going to be a Corolla. I’ve had two Toyota RAV4s and I two Mavericks and I would take the Maverick every time. I thought I wanted a Tacoma and test drove one, a Colorado and a Ranger. Ended up buying another Maverick. If I had not bought another Maverick it would have been the Ranger...
  3. New Mav + New Trailer (towed FL to MS with 2025 Maverick EcoBoost 4K Package)

    The speed limit. Most of it was 70. 55-65 for the rest. I normally get around 28 on the hwy when not towing.
  4. New Mav + New Trailer (towed FL to MS with 2025 Maverick EcoBoost 4K Package)

    Not yet. I will wait until grandkids are in town. I have toured it. Kind of pricey when I can stay at Sardis or Enid Lake for $13 a night with full hook ups.
  5. New Mav + New Trailer (towed FL to MS with 2025 Maverick EcoBoost 4K Package)

    Around 2700. Max is 3500. I had it close to how we would travel and had 850 lbs less than the GCVWR of 8130. I was under the max for both the trailer and truck by about 600lbs each. The GVWR of the Mav is 5320 and the trailer’s is 3500. Together these max weights exceeds the GCVWR of 8130...
  6. New Mav + New Trailer (towed FL to MS with 2025 Maverick EcoBoost 4K Package)

    Sold my 2024 XLT Mav Hybrid and bought a 2025 EB Mav Lariat with the 4K package. Jacksonville Fl to Oxford Ms (near Memphis) 18.5 mpg and hardly knew the trailer was back there.
  7. 4K tow package pulling an RV

    What’s the largest (length and weight) any of you have towed With the 4K towing package with brake controller on a Maverick. I’m thinking of buying a 19ft trailer with a 3300 dry weight. I’ll keep the total at about 3800 and tongue weight under 400. I know I’m pushing the specs. I have a...
  8. Truck sway control

    I tried to make a distinction of what weight distribution and sway control was. You are correct there are weight distribution hitches, weight distribution with sway control hitches and several forms of only trailer sway control. My comment on a heavy trailer was a weight distribution added...
  9. Truck sway control

    A WDH with sway control attaches to the truck’s receiver hitch, not directly to the tow vehicle. Maverick’s with a 4K tow package have a Class 3 hitch. Class 3 hitches can be used with a WDS and exceed what a Maverick is capable of, 8000 lbs and a tongue weight of up to 800 lbs. The...
  10. Truck sway control

    After reading hundreds of pages about towing with a Maverick on this site, a lot of the information is confusing. Many have said you don’t need a WDH because the Maverick comes with sway control. Let’s be clear. The sway control that comes on the Maverick applies brakes to different wheels...
  11. Bedcover recommendations - Must open with tailgate up

    I got the tri-fold hard top from Rough Country. They have two. The more expensive one folds all the way up to the back of the cab. Easy to put on. Easy to use. No water even going through car washes. I’ve had the more expensive brands on my F-150s, but I love this one.
  12. Retractable step for Maverick bed?

    It may be a GM style but I had one on my last F-150 and they are available on F150/250 and Rangers. As for how often I get into the bed the answer is whenever the bed is needed. If you are just putting groceries are small stuff in the bed you don’t need a truck. I traded a Rav4 because I...
  13. Retractable step for Maverick bed?

    Thanks. Have been to most of those links and the under bumper ones I have found do not fit the Maverick.
  14. Retractable step for Maverick bed?

    Does anyone know of a retractable step for the Maverick bed. I know its not that high, but I’m 73 and my balance is not what it used to be. Tired of having to use a step ladder to get into the bed. Thanks.
  15. Is there a way to get radio presets to stay on the display Screen?

    Just press the station you are on and it. Will go from the Audio screen to the Station screen with 5 presets displayed.
  16. No garage door opener on 2025 Maverick ?

    You can buy a programmable remote at most hardware or auto supply stores, even Walmart. As easy to set up as the ones that comes with a vehicle.
  17. Here’s kind of a weird take: the Ford Maverick is embarrassing.

    Toyota is supposed to have a Corolla Truck in 2025. The problem is the huge markups on mid and full size pickups. There is more profit in these larger trucks. Car manufacturers are not interested in how many vehicles they can sell, they are interested in how much profit they can make. I...
  18. MPG on first long trip

    I just did a 1700 mile trip from Oxford Ms to Richmond Va and back in a 2024 hybrid. Drove 6-7 miles over the speed limit whenever possible. The trip was from Oxford/Huntsville/Chattanooga/Knoxville/Bristol/Roanoke/Charlottesville/Richmond and back. Averaged 37.8 mpg. No problems even in the...
