  1. Who do I call?

    Who at Ford do I call to discuss the inept shipping/delivery of Mavericks. My Maverick traveled nearly 2800 miles by rail in 13 days and has been sitting in Atlanta 115 miles from my dealership for 7+ days. After waiting 15 months, Ford can't figure out the last 115 miles to get my Maverick to me.
  2. What vehicle should I buy?

    Reading some various threads about vehicles, I'm wondering what vehicle fits our needs? Some people say a high hp engine is a requirement, while others say AWD is mandatory, some demand heated seats and steering wheel while others say those are a waste of money. Some want bare bones, others...
  3. Why I do not work:

    Interviewer: What hours/days are you available? Me: I don't work nights, holidays or weekends. I don't come in early and I don't stay late. I prefer four hours a day, no more than six. Nothing before 8am or after 5pm. Interviewer: Do you consider yourself a team player? Me: There is no...
  4. Pulled the trigger

    I logged onto my Schwab account and bought $2000 of Ford stock this morning. That gives me the 100 shares I need for x-plan pricing if it takes 6 months for my Maverick to arrive. If it is here before the 6 months I need for x-plan I can fall back on my Veterans Advantage membership to be...
  5. Packages and Options - What is Ford thinking?

    It seems that whoever designs and prices packages and options needs some real world feedback. $100 for a tow hitch and four wire plug. We would have paid $200 and been happy. Same with the sliding window. An oem quality slider runs $250-ish + installation, $200 would still be a bargin. On a...
  6. Got Cold Feet

    In a week I've changed my hybrid order twice. I went from an XL to an XLT the day after I ordered and today I had the dealer drop the spray in bed liner. I know that I am looking at at least 4 months, more realistically 6-7-8 months until it is in my driveway but I didn't want the spray in...
  7. Moonroof

    How many ordered the moonroof? I did, it was one of the few things I wasn't going to budge on.
  8. FWD EB

    Did I see a thread that says that although the Ford website will let you build a FWD EB, no such animal exists? My primary reason for the FWD hybrid is the ability to flat tow, but a FWD should be towable on a dolly, while a AWD is not.

  10. Who remembers the Durango?

    Ford teamed up with National Coach Works in 1981 and modified about 200 Fairmont Futuras into Durangos. Colors were bland, the only engine option was the 200 six cylinder with a C4.. I have only ever seen one at a car show in Tucson about 20 years ago.

    Post up your pups., kittens, lizards, spiders, turtles, snakes................... Lucy on my left, Carly on my right. Lucy was a rescue and was originally named Dixie. I wanted two pups named Lucy and Ethel, so Dixie became Lucy. About a month later we found Carly. Her name was Carl, so my...
  12. How does the Hybrid Maverick 2.5 compare to 2019 Accord 2.0 hybrid?

    My wife's 19 Accord has a 2.0 hybrid with a 1.3 kWh lithium-ion battery. 212hp/129 tq. 48mpg 3300 lb curb weight The Maverick has a 2.5 hybrid with a 1.1 kWh lithium-ion battery. 191hp/155 tq. 40mpg 3600-ish lb curb weight. The Mavericks larger engine, smaller battery, heavier weight and...
  13. Greetings

    Wanna-be Maverick owner. I went to the local Ford lot to look at a Bronco and they had a new Maverick sitting there. I love Aussie utes and have been waiting for a FWD pickup with 4 doors. Now it is here. I need 4 doors (dogs) and flat towable behind a motorhome, so a Maverick fits the bill...
  14. XL or XLT

    What draws me to the Maverick is 4 doors and flat towable. I have two small dogs and a MH. Is there anything on the XLT that I wish I would have that the XL doesn't have? The big one that jumps out is the locking tailgate, but as soon as an ARE hard painted bed cover comes out I will buy...
