Exactly! People, take it back to the dealer. That's why you have a warranty. Here in Massachusetts, we have the lemon law where if the dealer can't fix the problem after 3-4 times--they have to replace or buy back. Other states have this law also.
I guess I lucked out--I way overpaid for my XLT...
Ok, I'm getting whip lash! Toyota just changed course again and now say they are NOT doing a compact (Maverick) pickup rival based on the low numbers sold in that category. Stay tuned! I think I read it on ford authority.com.
This wasn't the story-I can't seem to find the exact one, but it has some of the facts. Motortrend says it's an SUV coming, but all the articles point to a small truck. Google the story and more pop up. Carbuzz.com? auto week.com?

Get ready! It has been confirmed that Toyota is launching a Maverick rival in early 2027. They will do what Hyundais didn't. There is a teaser photo out there already. Ford needs some competition to keep them on their toes. Plus they need us asking for what we need. Apparently they are putting...
OMG! Yes! Bring the basic knobs back. I won't order the new '25 or '26 because of the touch screen controls. It is dangerous to navigate the many steps just to turn on the ac or other simple functions. Connecting the phone each time to listen to music is a 5 step process that's painful...
Wow! It really is stunning. Congrats!!! You will love the hybrid system. I don't think I will ever go back to and ice engine again based on my needs. The mileage is insane! I am still shocked that Ford is only doing the color for 2025 only. They should reconsider that decision. Wonder if they...
The short answer is Yes! We are glad we bought it!! We bought a "used" 2022 XLT towards the end of '22 and overpaid for it. ($34k+) BUT, the hybrid has been amazing. 1 oil change a year, possibly 2, because of the lower wear and tear on engine and our gas bill has sliced in half. If we ride it...
Tailgate definitely! But can I ask why Ford stopped putting it on the 2025's???? The piece retails for $16. are they that hard up or cost cutting to the penny?
Nope! Bought a used '22 XLT with luxury package (heated seats, wheel and side mirrors). Love the interior. Everything works and the mileage is insane. Thinking about adding the '25 Eruption Green XLT as a second car, but will have to wait for a used one-if that even happens. LOL
Hey Bales-
Thanks for that info! For highway, I have been using Eco mode, but i have read here on MTC that a lot of people use Slippery mode. I will try that. and yes, I use the wrong term "lock in" It is more a release of the gas pedal, coasting a second while the electric kicks in and then...
Hi Mike! Congrats on ordering your hybrid Maverick! We bought our '22 last year used. So far, we have NOT had any issue with deep sleep or back up camera. I have done the necessary recalls-the last one i had them send a mobile unit from Herb Chambers Ford. Was so much easier than sitting at...
Just saw this article and thought everyone might enjoy it!

Interested to hear what people think: do you agree with them? other than the ugly new front, what features do you like? Our truck has definitely been the cheapest to...
Thanks for sharing. I'm in the same boat-love cd's and miss the cd player in my maverick. I tried one off of EBay that was bluetooth and i tried a portable one that I plugged into the usb but BOTH weren't recognized by the radio. There was no option that pops up after I plugged them in. How did...
Wow! That's a great idea! I never thought of that. Thank you!!!! I had tried with a piece of plastic wood, but with the roll top cover-it is hard rot remove on the fly without having to roll up the top. Cool!
Unfortunately, the poor Maverick is seen plowing through the flood waters in FL during Debby tropical storm. Hope it made it through and didn't stall out. ugh.
Thanks for your review! Nice detailed points. Luckily, we have had NO problems with our hybrid XLT! phew. None. Have done all the recalls except the latest Customer satisfaction one for the engine block as we have had no warning lights come on. Fingers crossed we are one of the lucky ones who...
Good question! I was hesitant at first, but now actually prefer it. I grew up on Manual stick, then forced into an automatic with shifter and now the Hybrid Maverick with rotary dial. Getting to the point where I don't need to look down at it to shift and the change in gear is fast. My Forester...
