  1. Adaptive cruise control false alarm

    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...
  2. Performance all weather tires?

    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...
  3. Hybrid floor mats, front and back - now shipping

    Did I see that Ford is now shipping these?
  4. First review of my Lariat

    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...
  5. I picked up my Maverick today.

    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...
  6. "Cute" "Little" truck?

    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...
  7. What are you putting off until you get your Maverick?

    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...
  8. Have prices for the 2022 Maverick gone up?

    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?
  9. I have a window sticker!

    And Ford tracking says it's in production! Woo-hoo!
  10. Will a daypack fit under the rear seat?

    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.)
  11. Anybody have a photo of the power rear window.

    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.
  12. Best place for vehicle production information?

    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...
  13. What's the "vibe" like driving a Maverick?

    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...
  14. Got a VIN!

    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...
  15. Cancel Maverick or keep order and flip it?

    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'.)
  16. Maverick heating and air conditioning - driven electrically?

    I assume the air conditioner is driven electrically. What about the heater?
  17. How much of Maverick body is aluminum?

    Someone asked me this and I didn't know. I know the hood is and I assume the bed is. It's all of it aluminum? Suspension components, like A arms?
  18. Hybrid driving experience: Just like a Maverick - but different.

    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...
  19. I finally saw one in real life.

    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...
