I have a hybrid Lariat, with adaptive cruise control. Yesterday the Maverick gave me a collision false alarm and temporarily slammed on the brakes - for no reason. I was on the inside lane on the interstate (heading east on I-40 between Albuquerque, NM and the turnoff for Hwy 14). It was on a...
I love my Maverick hybrid, but we live up a dirt road in the mountains in New Mexico, and it's worthless in the snow. Yeah, I know, what do I expect. But I didn't want to hassle with seasonal snow tires, and our other car is AWD.
I've been reading about Performance All Weather tires. Some even...
These are my views/opinions so far on my trim: Cactus Gray Lariat with Lux package and Co-Pilot 360.
Capsule summary: I have about 400 miles of mixed driving, still on the first tank of gas, and I'm loving this truck so far. It's quiet, comfortable, smooth riding and, for me, has plenty of...
A little over eight months from my order date. Cactus Gray Lariat with Lux package. I'll drive it a little before I post any reviews. But I will say that the laptop daypack I've been hauling around for a decade (think of it as a purse, or a murse if you murst) fits nicely under the back seat on...
I sure this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it, so here goes.
"Cute?" Miatas are cute. The similar Honda S2000 is cute. My mid-1960s Sunbeam Alpine was cute. Maybe the Mini Cooper. But the 2022 Ford Maverick? Nah, I don't think so.
So, "Little?" I did some limited...
I live in the woods in New Mexico in the East Mountains, on the eastern slopes of the Sandias, half an hour or so from Albuquerque. I've got scrap wood, slash from clearing scrub and downed trees, a couple big piles of pine needles and cones, and trash too big for the trash collector, that I...
Hi everybody. Since I now have a window sticker I looked at the price. The MSRP is about $800 over what the dealer originally quoted, when I put in my order on 9/2. Has anyone else noticed this?
I often haul around a medium size daypack and I don't like leaving it visible. I'm wondering if it will fit under the back seat. The only time I have seen a Maverick in person, I didn't have my daypack with me. (Did not think ahead - again.)
I've looked for one and couldn't find it. What's it look like? How's it driven? I've seen photos of the manual one, but I don't know if it's the same. I've had a slider on a precious truck, but never powered one.
A few weeks ago I found, by calling the Ford marketing number, 800-334-4374, that I had a VIN. (I have never received an email from Ford! Never!) The agent told me that I could go to shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking and get updates, so I did that. All I can find out is that they have my order...
To those who already have a Maverick. Probably a dumb question (not my first), but what's it feel like driving it? The best "vibe" I've had driving was in British sports cars with the top down in Southern California in the early 60s. It just felt good driving around. Nothing will top that. Next...
Given scheduling, it's probably not anything to get that excited about, but it's the first positive news I have gotten since I verified that Ford had the order some 4 1/2 months ago. BTW I did not get an email from Ford, I got it by calling the Ford marketing number. I went to vehicle tracking...
I'm not quite ready to bail, but I've been thinking about it. So here's a question. If I decide I've had enough, should I cancel my Maverick and get my $500 deposit back, or take delivery and mark it up and sell it? (I'm not an entrepreneur. Just sayin'.)
My neighbor got a new Escape Hybrid for his wife. It is AWD, but has the 2.5l engine, so I assume it has a similar hybrid set up as the Maverick. He's a gear head, and a pretty old-school ICE guy. (His main vehicle is an F-350 Super Duty.) I was curious about what he thought about driving the...
My salesman called yesterday to tell me that a bunch of special order Mavericks came in all at one time, so I went down to see them today. All were turbos, of course, and were special orders, so couldn't be driven and such. There was one Lariat and the rest, I think, were XLTs. Most of what I...
