  1. Mabett Giveaway: What Made You Choose the Maverick in the End?

    Garageable. Want beach vehicle, got Tremor. Wanted to stay with Ford since my last 2 cars were great Fords, Mystique V6 manual trans went 368,000 miles. Engine never touched. Junked only because wiring disintegrated to the fuel injectors. I was 2nd owner since 39,000 miles. Focus ST has...
  2. Giveaway: If you could add one feature to the Maverick, what would it be?

    Get rid of that gosh-awful rotary shifter
  3. Giveaway: If you could add one feature to the Maverick, what would it be?

    Slick-shifting Manual transmission, same feel as Focus ST
  4. Is Maverick 200k miles reliable?

    I have never had a walnut blasting done. I am not really sure what that is all about. I have not researched it enough.
  5. Is Maverick 200k miles reliable?

    As you seem to be interested only in Ecoboost engine I can give my 2 cents about turbo longevity. On my 2013 Focus ST, of which I am the original owner, I change oil myself as close to 5000 miles as I can, never going over 6000 miles. The turbo is original with me only having to adjust its...
  6. Open For Comments on NO ISSUE Mavericks

    9300 miles 2023 Lariat Tremor Avalanche Gray. No issues. Except that I still hate the dial shifter. Turn it the wrong way often when trying to get reverse. This is my first automatic transmission vehicle since my days of getting $200 or even free cars in high school and college. And my last 2...
  7. Yikes all 5 oil changes have been synthetic blend???? Should I freak out or chill

    Deers are often wrong. If you have work done by a dealer, or any mechanic/technician, always verify their work. GF bought 2107 Escape. A demo with 4000 miles. (With 1.5L, bought without my knowledge, she went with her parents and brother...... sigh. To surprise me......) I am looking it over...
  8. Add a manual transmission to the Ford Maverick. Bring it back manual transmissions..

    I would be on line with you on Day 1 of a Maverick ST.
  9. Add a manual transmission to the Ford Maverick. Bring it back manual transmissions..

    Longevity My 368,000 mile 1995 Mystique had original transmission with only the clutch changed at 250,000 miles. My current 312,000 mile 2013 Focus ST has its original transmission and still has the original clutch. I really doubt my Maverick Tremor will make 100,000 miles on its automatic...
  10. What's your "One" Pet Peeve

    6 months and 8000 miles in Tremor Lariat. A few minor pet peeves already mentioned above, But MAJOR annoyance is the dial shifter. (and of course the lack of a slick shifting manual transmission)
  11. How to turn off all exterior lights when starting in the dark.

    OK. Thanks. This I want to do. I have to research this FORScan. Seen it mentioned in posts, but haven't paid a lot of attention up until now.
  12. How to turn off all exterior lights when starting in the dark.

    My 23 Tremor Lariat is garaged nightly. When I go to start it each time, even if it is bright daylight outside, truck lights go on. Same for putting truck back into the garage. This is ridiculousness. I want control of the lights. My Focus ST with HID was going through headlight bulbs every...
  13. I Hate the Stupid Dial Shifter: Now With Poll

    Hate the dial shifter. Going into park when I want reverse. Spinning to right when I want reverse. Having to look down to reach it then see what gear it is in. Not intuitive at all. But then, I have been driving manual transmission cars since 1991. Seriously considering selling Tremor for VW...
  14. Add a manual transmission to the Ford Maverick. Bring it back manual transmissions..

    Hello all First post. Received my 23 leftover Lariat Tremor last week. First vehicle I have owned with an automatic since 1991. Last 2 cars: 1995 Mercury Mystique V6 5 speed. That car went 368,000 miles. Awesome car. Current car is 2013 Focus ST. It has 300,625 miles as of this morning...
