Ordered from Amazon and was delivered on the 28th. But the Amazon site says it will be delivered in August. Probably just overwhelmed with orders and can not catch up. It is sitting still in the box until I can put it on this weekend.

Is the truck still under factory warranty? Talk the dealership or Ford into an extended service plan at no cost. I don’t know if ford has a certified preowned program. I would have no problems buying it if I saw paperwork in the previous issues and how they were fixed and could get a good...

I have 4 12 foot straps. I find the 12 foot length great if you need to wrap them around lumber or over a big chest freezer or other appliances or furniture.

I don’t know if they are a gimmick or not. People can get numbers to argue both sides. I do know most new cars are designed to go 200k plus with little problems. I think a lot of people sell stuff on your skepticism. And we all are guilty of buying snake oil occasionally.

Drivers window motor is making a slight noise and left rear tire may be out of balance.

Maverick has as much room as a taco inside. The bed on the Maverick is smaller and I think what makes most people think the Maverick is small is that it sits low. Most trucks sit higher with no noticeable ground clearance advantage. Put a 2 inch lift on a Maverick and it looks like most tacos...

Someone is offering their opinion on a price or product. I think they knew it was not for everyone. Let’s pick apart their opinion and talk trash about it. Buy whatever oil you want for whatever price you want. Just be nice about your comments. Show me where any product is better than another...

Change the air in your tires before you go. Live a little get the 5th bag. Take some snacks and a flashlight since you are traveling so far. Do you plan on camping or driving straight through? Good luck and god speed. And be sure to tell someone your route in case no one hears from you for a few...

My driveway. My wife’s 2026 Lariat on the right. My 2025 XLT on the left. Both AWD and hybrids.

Hope you love it as much as I love mine. And my wife loves hers.

Not the best pics but just got home and the dealer can’t detail it until Monday.

Proud owner of my second maverick, a 2025 hybrid AWD XLT had it a few months and love it. Wife loves it better than her escape hybrid. We are picking up her new Lariat Hybrid AWD with sliding rear window and moonroof Monday. Tried to give her my Maverick since it’s broke in and me get the new...

Robots assemble and weld most cars today. Better production than humans and cheaper. No insurance or retirement. I hate losing jobs but that’s been the way for years. My buddy worked for Honda in the 90’s he supervised a robot welding and assembly door hinges and doors. A couple of minutes and...

Have a 25 AWD hybrid xlt without a sunroof. Also have a 24 escape hybrid AWD with a sunroof. Love it in the wife’s escape except she has allergies. So the roof stays closed.

I think a Maverick has the reputation of being a “real” compact truck with a mostly workable bed. It can haul and tow most of what people need. A RAV4 truck will probably be a lot like the Hyundai, a nice vehicle but would not give off the vibe of being a work vehicle.

Most bodywork paint never matches perfect. That is why they would blend the front door to the fender and rear door so it would be less obvious.

My dealer and my exact truck but in a different color. That’s 7% discount plus there was a $500 farm bureau rebate and a $1000 ford rebate. And they were wonderful to deal with. All over the phone. At the dealer less than an hour. Seems a better deal than employee pricing.

Dealer discounts and rebates are often a better deal than employee pricing.

$35,500 sounds more than fair. If they give you an actual $35,500 for it they will clean it and have to get $37,500 out of it to make profit. Hard to sell it for that when a new one is $1500 more. What did carmax and caravan etc. say?

It’s all a gamble. Drive 20 years with no problems except a starter and you lose money. Drive 6 years with a starter and a transmission and you win. People that say it’s worth it sometimes never use it but it is a peace of mind. No one can say if it’s worth it to you and your situation. They can...
