  1. Anyone else unimpressed by the build quality? Some examples inside

    Again, love the build quality on mine. That satisfy you Burdy? Almost 8 months of ownership and 13k miles. One long cross-country trip mixed in. This replaced a 2012 F150 Lariat. There were things that were better in the F150 of course. But I can't say the build quality was that much different...
  2. Anyone else unimpressed by the build quality? Some examples inside

    I am constantly amazed at the number of people that have no intention on buying something but continue to post about said product. I thought the first model year the Eco was the safer bet and that has been proven correct. Seems that there is a little saltiness about the higher trims, but in...
  3. All of this Maverick Customer-Must-DO procedure is a bunch of BS. [CLOSED & BANS DUE TO POLITICS]

    Since you haven't bought a new anything in roughly 50 years, I am not sure that you have an applicable comparison.
  4. Converting from full size truck to Maverick?

    I went from a 2012 F150 Lariat supercab to the 22' Maverick Lariat FX4. Very happy with the Mav. The F150 was a little more comfortable on long drives, but I don't miss the 14-17mpg I routinely got, or how much of a PITA it was to park in comparison. The Mav is more fun to drive, and is enough...
  5. Are people going to order 23s just to sell ?

    Good for you. Let me break down for you exactly what MOST PEOPLE means. It means that MOST PEOPLE who are not you do not purchase a vehicle that way. It really shouldn't require me stating MOST PEOPLE except those like 03 truck, as that would be stupid. But good for you.
  6. Idiots on the road really piss me off

    This morning I was about 6 cars back from a stopped bus on a two lane double yellow road. Some asshat in an orange suv even further back guns it to pass everyone daring any oncoming traffic to hit him while also passing a stopped bus. Of course the bus finished offloading before he could pass...
  7. Already got rear ended! [Updated #1 with frame / underbody photos] [Update #2: 6K repair estimate]

    Oh deer, that sucks. Did it fit in the back at least?
  8. Weird things I learned about the recirculating air feature

    I'm also in WA but have the Lariat with Dual climate control. It will also randomly switch off the recirc to fresh. though with the A/C in it usually stays in recirc but not always. Like the OP, I usually notice it when I get that burst of smoke or a car that shouldn't be on the road is stinking...
  9. Pre-collision system for Mav Lariat

    Every time except for once it triggered (maybe a dozen times total in my 7 months of ownership) when a car turning right was making the turn a little slow but was already out of the lane to where I could safely pass. It's annoying frankly. Now when a car does that, I give a slight nudge to the...
  10. Is/will your Maverick be your first truck? Are you new to Ford?

    Not even close to first truck or first Ford. Already owner 2 Dodge Adventurers, 3 Dodge Rams, 1 GMC, 1 Ford Ranger, 3 F150's. My last four pickups have all been Fords counting the Mav. Was three straight F150's before that. Bought the wife a Ford too. Used to be a Dodge guy.
  11. I think the base stereo sounds good...

    I have the B&O not the stock, but people have complained about that too. Personally, I think it's pretty awesome. Normally I listen to XM, Talk/Metal/sometimes Country or Jazz/rock/pop off a local station. All sounds pretty good. But they are giving 6 months of Apple music free right now, and...
  12. New truck smell...

    Yeah, I normally really enjoy that 'new car smell' but it is a feature that is largely absent from the Mav.
  13. Ford dropping AM radio from SYNC

    Nothing better than 850 AM KOA out of Denver. When I was stationed at Ft. Hood I could get that signal until the sun came up! I still listen to AM. Hell, to an earlier comment, I WANT Angry talk radio and sports, that's 90% of what I listen to! We have pretty good AM stations out here in the...
  14. First Impressions

    No, I haven't experienced anything like that. I am a solid 250 and the only passenger 90% of the time. I would find that very odd for any vehicle and certainly not normal. I am now over 11k miles having had my second oil change and having taken it on a 5k mile road trip this summer where it was...
  15. Dealer called and offered me a Maverick today

    Plus they may have had the delivery charge on there as well.
  16. Mavericks everywhere!

    I saw two today on base that I haven't spotted before. An Area51 and a White XLT. I have only seen one other HPR so far in my area.
  17. Western Washington

    Funny moment yesterday, stopped for gas at the Safeway in Frederickson. Waiting at the light, an Area 51 Mav is at the light waiting to turn. He rolls down his window, we didn't know who would get the light first, so we roll all ours down. He turns and is giving me a big thumbs up while passing...
  18. RIP Maverick due to Hurricane Ian

    Reminds me of when I was at Ft. Jackson and part of a tropical storm blew through. I had noticed a car parked behind a chapel on post, well that was kind of a dug out area. The next morning even though most places weren't flooded too bad, that car was actually under water. Never would have...
  19. XLT vs. Lariat Debate

    Let's face it, ANY trim level and configuration on a Mav for MSRP is a GREAT deal. Do you see what a new F150 Lariat costs? ADM on Mav's on the lot? I got the Lariat-Lux FX4, every bell and whistle (hard tri-fold tonneau cover too) and it came in at 39k (I got $750 cash back so really 38 and...
  20. To moonroof or not to moonroof. That is the question

    I love having the moonroof and was a must have for me. I'm 6'1" and have plenty of headroom. I find that worry very odd. But then again someone was complaining about their 50 year old cars moonroof leaking, so, whatever. To the just roll down your windows crowd, when I'm driving to work, that...
