I watch the boost gauge on my diesel frequently. High boost = low mpg. Reminds me I need to back out of a bit to conserve some fuel. Of course, this truck is also tuned and could potentially boost more than stock and should also be monitored to keep the boost from getting out of control and...

How was McArthur for pricing? At or below MSRP?

For references, here are some carbonized gray sports: https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/official-carbonized-gray-bronco-sport-thread.1157/page-2

Yep, that is the exact quote I was referencing, thanks for finding it.

Looking again, I’ve found lots of people fit 245/75R17 on Bronco sport stock with no issues. I also found one guy who put 245/70r17s on but it rubbed a pinch weld in the rear of the front wheel well that he had to trim. I have not been able to locate the quote to the Ford engineer about the...

There was a Ford Engineer that said you could get 30.5” max on a Bronco Sport, I think due to the strut setup in the front. I would expect the same in the Mav.

I’m a founding member of the black Maverick Club but I’m thinking of changing teams and getting a Carbonized Gray one instead. Wife and kid agree and I find it often easier to just do what they want rather than disagree with them. My only concern with black is that it’s difficult to maintain a...

Audi, BMW, Mercedes, VW all have soul as well. Having soul doesn’t make you any less reliable. I never said Ford was unreliable. Ford has many good traits so people don’t need to focus on a singular good trait like they do with Honda/Toyota. If all you have is reliability, that’s all people are...

Are you me? This has literally been my beef with Toyota (and Honda) for years. I’ve never owned one nor do I plan on it. People brag about their reliability but you have to give up (your) soul to drive one.

Yeah, I looked again and I see 121” as well. I don’t recall where I saw 114” but it doesn’t surprise me since in the first couple days the media was throwing around a few wrong numbers until the official spec sheet was posted for all to see.

Sounds like mixed reviews on the active-x material.

I feel that was a miss not have ventilated seats. I believe the active x material is also used on the Mach E, maybe check in with those forums to see how the seats are.

It’s the same platform, not the same frame. Think of it as being modular, like legos. If you want your LEGOmobile to be longer, you add some more material. Same basic design of the chassis but just stretched. BTW, I believe the Maverick wheel base is 114”.

Yeah, I hear your concerns and am fully aware. I’ve never had a black vehicle and I think I’m finally ready to take that plunge. It was this or carbonized gray for me.

Who’s in? This is how I roll. I think a friend of mine at work is in for a black Maverick too. We actually joked about starting a black Maverick club the other day as a follow up to being founding members of the white super duty club at work.

Yes, this is also one of my new concerns. I couldn’t tell at first, thought it was maybe black with certain light reflecting on it but now I’m fairly convinced it’s just blue. I don’t know why Ford does that. They already have a rainbow of colors in that interior, why add blue into it too?

Some sources have stated 400lbs for tailgate capacity. I think there might be some confusion on that yet. I’m more inclined to believe 400lbs.

I’ve talked to two different local dealers and neither had any clue about when orders could be placed. But, even if they were willing to place an order I don’t know if I’m ready yet. I’ve never driven one, never sat in one and the press hasn’t even driven one yet. My three biggest concerns are...

I noticed that space just to the outside of the tow hooks also and it looks like a cover where the fog lights would go. The omission of it and those spots lead me to believe it will introduced after launch, maybe second model year.

It was a joke about throwing it away. I wouldn’t do that. I’m basically trying to state how much better a value it is to me vs a lightning.
