  1. Are you happy with your Maverick? Would you buy it again?

    I downsized from a '99 GMC Sierra that I bought new and put 294K miles on. Loved that truck except for the fact that it averaged 17mpg when new and 17mpg at 25 years. My hybrid Mav gets between 36 and 52mpg depending on where I'm going. Most driving is around town and averages 42mpg. With...
  2. Lariat or well spec'd XLT?

    Had a '25 XLT Hybrid with most options. Traded it for a '25 Lariat Hybrid with all options. Love it. Seat is more comfortable for my old, titanium filled back. Better sound system. Very quiet cabin. Moon roof. Power sliding rear window (for the Fur Missile). 4K tow. Smooth ride. Onboard...
  3. Maverick hybrid AWD backs up over retaining wall

    Great point. And another good reason to get out and do a visual if you can't use your rear-facing camera. At my age, I don't trust my depth perception the way I did when I was a young grasshopper.
  4. New member introduction - and Costco buying question

    Call Kevin Swanson, the Internet Sales Manager at Paso Ford. He will take great care of you and ensure you get the best possible deal. If you don't want to wait for a special order and you don't find what you want on the lot, ask him to show you the incoming inventory list. That's how I...
  5. Maverick hybrid AWD backs up over retaining wall

    And he was driving backwards toward a sheer drop-off why? Obiwan says Luke should park and get out to do a visual check before backing any farther when close to the abyss. Silly not to, it is.
  6. How many Mavericks have you owned?

    Two. I ordered a '25 XLT Hybrid and was very pleased with it. Over time, I began to miss having a moon roof and I developed a hankering for the 360 cameras to help with parallel parking. Had a hard time getting comfortable on the driver's seat for long drives from the Central Coast of...
  7. Has anybody ever had issues with the bed storage cubby geting stolen?

    I put the combo locking cover on mine and that's where I keep two ratchet straps for securing cargo in the bed. Works great. Easy to find on Amazon.
  8. One Good Reason to Love My 2025 Lariat Hybrid

    Time for a chill pill, Brother? To each his own and I'm loving my wheels.
  9. One Good Reason to Love My 2025 Lariat Hybrid

    Ask and ye shall receive...This is Willow. She owns the back seat of the Grey Ghost. She's a great back seat driver.
  10. One Good Reason to Love My 2025 Lariat Hybrid

    Go for it, friend. But can you match the mileage just cruising around town?
  11. One Good Reason to Love My 2025 Lariat Hybrid

    Yup. Just running out to the kennel to pick up my fur missile and then back to the house. Typical of the driving I do around town & country.
  12. One Good Reason to Love My 2025 Lariat Hybrid

    The trip in the photo was from my home to the kennel to pick up my GSD and back home. Equal mix of uphill and downhill both ways. '25 Lariat Hybrid w/4k tow package. Most of my driving is from 3 to 10 miles r/t, in and around town. We're in wine country, 8 minutes from the center of a 30k...
  13. One Good Reason to Love My 2025 Lariat Hybrid

    Typical mpg for the trips I take around town, which makes up the majority of my time behind the wheel. Love this thing!
  14. Backup sound warning.

    In California, gophers have lawyers.
  15. Post YOUR Maverick TRUCKING!

    It is the 4K and zero sag. Did a great job of handling the weight. Zero float in the front end and no difference in acceleration or braking. Good little horsey!
  16. Sunroof Option

    Here in the once great State of California, our government is singularly focused on all of the fraudulent ways they can siphon money out of our pockets so I don't think we'll see any change that doesn't increase the amount of blood they can suck from our bank accounts.
  17. Sunroof Option

    Thanks for the note. It's a dealer provider temp. paper plate. Long gone into the shredder.
  18. Post YOUR Maverick TRUCKING!

    Halfway through unloading 1,200lbs. of river rock as part of a landscape project out back. The materials yard is 9mi. from home. Got 41mpg under load and the truck drove like a dream. The extra heavy duty tarp did a great job of protecting the factory bed liner as well as the lens covering...
  19. Sunroof Option

    I wanted a small truck that was quiet, comfortable, and capable. After 25 years with a GMC Sierra 1500, I've already hauled all the big loads of rocks, trees, lumber, etc. that go with building a new home on a good sized piece of land. And with 296K miles at 17mpg, it was time to send that...
  20. Introducing a new accessory: Tactical Seat Molle Panels

    These look great for a single person who works with his or her hands. But, parents, be extremely careful if you have kids of any age sitting in the back seat with racks like these in front of them. I'm visualizing all the potential ER visits with broken and torn fingers from kids playing with...
