  1. Low beams are bright!

    I have a 2024 Lariat and was debating whether to ask the dealer about getting flashed once or twice a week, but now I know it's the design. Still, getting flashed on low beams didn't happen on the first cars I drove (60's, 70's). I think the difference between high and low beam was greater in...
  2. 2022 Maverick 2.0 AWD Tuned | 310 WHP and 318 WTQ

    I don't think it's prying it's practical. Much as it sounds like raining on a parade, part of the reason to read about these improvements is to think 'hmmm' maybe I could do that. But you're talking about thousands more that many people can't afford. Something that they can admire, like a road...
  3. 2026 Maverick is Edmunds' Top Rated Truck

    Last June I traded in a 2500HD Ram on a '24 Lariat. Reasons for needing full size had faded, and our recent retirement to a smaller house/garage meant it would never be garageable. We looked at the Ranger at the same time as we were looking for Mavs, but it seems to have been bulked up from...
  4. I Didn't Know the Windshield Wipers Could Do That?!

    I agree with your assessment of that wiper post area. It's deep, and there's no clear path for you to brush the snow out of that area. It's the same problem for me when the pine tree beside the house is shedding, and the area fills with needles. it's also where the intake for the cabin airflow...
  5. Can't raise windshield wipers?

    Not looking for anything but thanks for your 2 cents. I saw the official Ford how-to for the wipers, then the unofficial how-to's that say force them, even though one poster said Ford says not to. Doing it once a year changing blades is no big deal for you but is a big deal if they're frozen to...
  6. Wipers raised

    You are very disciplined. I just can't see committing to do that every night - it's often calm at bedtime but then snow sneaks in as you sleep.
  7. Can't raise windshield wipers?

    I agree Meeka. This is the first design feature since I got the truck in June that I've thought was super dumb. Maybe this area was designed in Mexico. I also noted that some aren't afraid to manually pull/push the wipers so they clear the hood and can be lifted up. For us in snow land, this is...
  8. Maverick owners demographics - just curious

    67, 4th pickup. Previous truck was a Ram 2500HD. We were going to tow a trailer all over N.America but life had other ideas. The age question is interesting to me because the first time I looked at the interior, the angular lines in the door panels and two-tone colouring of the interior made me...
  9. Mabett - Side lights for LARIAT 25'

    As I've gotten older, the glare from the dashboard makes it more difficult to see to your left when making a left turn at a dark intersection at night. I can still remember the old man's 1975 Cadillac which had sidelights that came on with the turn signal and turned off with the signal itself...
  10. Turning Radius... Why is it so bad?

    It beats the heck out of the turning circle on the ram heavy duty that I traded in for the Mav.
  11. Downsizing after all these years

    Hello to all from South Central Ontario! I'm the happy owner of a new Atlas Blue 2024 Maverick Lariat. Purchased May 28 with 29 km on the odometer. The downsizing in the thread title comes from having an ownership history of large vehicles like pick up trucks and big four-door, sedans and going...
