I've had my Mav for just over 9 months. There have certainly been times, moreso IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, that I have thought a Hybrid would have been the better call, but at the end of the day, I just don't drive very much - I'm at about 3,000 miles - and the Deep Sleep thing would live in my...
This is an underrated element of the Maverick, especially the lower trims. I've driven my in-laws newer model cars - a Honda CR-V and a 2025 Toyota Tacoma - and they're very, very nice. But they also have features that I don't like, that my own teenager doesn't like, because they're bossy and...
The Ranger to Maverick pipeline is real and I love it. I am 43 and also came from a Ranger - mine's an 04 - before passing it down to my teenager as I moved to something with heated seats, cruise control, and the ability to play music off my phone without having to use the plug in Bluetooth to...
This would make hospital billing blush. Get outta here with alllll of that.
I'd say the exterior coating might make it partially worth it, but based on what they think they can charge, I bet it sucks compared to a good job.
She drives it sometimes, though it's primarily mine. She has driven far more than I and part of buying the Mav, for me, was letting her enjoy being a passenger more often.
You just have to take the forked end of the tool and stick it between the center and outer layers of the anchor pin head to pop out the center pin and easily remove them. I'm sure for many, it's obvious, but if you've never encountered them before, it may not be.
Does the Maxzina kit have an explainer on how to remove the pins? The Mabett ones I bought did not and I was stumped for far too long and was worried I was going to bend the frame itself before I took a step back and watched YT videos until someone finally explained how these pins work.
Looks great, the install on those fender flares is CLEAN. And thanks for the links, it's helpful to go right to the stuff that catches one's eye. I did notice you've got the links swapped for fender flares and seat covers.
None of the Mavericks on the dang lot were green XLTs or Lariats! I don't know if they're moving that fast or if they just don't want to risk the color
I went for TuxMats and am very happy with them, though they're still brand new in my car. But no smell, firm tight fit, and they look GREAT. If my truck was more of a "working" truck I would have happily saved a few (a lot of) bucks, but for a family or family+ vehicle, TuxMats have all the...
I've said it on Tim's videos and I'll say it here, Ford doesn't want to sell XLTs, clearly. They want the price effect of the XLs, and they want to upsell people on the Lariats.
