Recently helped a relative move to a new apartment. Put 350ish miles on the Maverick running back and forth, to Goodwill, the dump, etc. Only got a couple photos of doing the truck stuff.

23 Maverick XL. All purpose vehicle, used for commuting to work, Lowe’s runs, dump trips, moving furniture and stuff for people, etc.

23 Hybrid XL, 34k no issues other than recalls. Do wish they had hybrid AWD from the start but otherwise love the truck. Got a “that’s a really nice truck” comment this weekend.

Getting 2nd windshield replacement for the Maverick in 2.5 years this week. Whole rest of my life driving (I’m 55) I’ve replaced one windshield.

Another problem with the design is that if the truck is left out uncovered, the defrost does nothing to melt the ice that builds up in the well area. We had a pretty good ice/snow/sleet storm weekend before last, that filled the wiper area into one big block of ice. Wasn’t able to drive the Mav...

Serenity, for the calming blue color. (We're also Firefly fans)

Neat. Be nice to have a easy reach spot to put a first aid kit; won't have to drag everything out of the back seat to get under it. (Put most of our stuff and a cooler back there on road trips)

Late to the thread, but IRT older cars when I was growing up in the 70s/80s my dad kept a box in the trunk of both the cars; with bottles of oil and transmission fluid and full sets of belts and radiator hoses, because you never knew when something would break.

I’ve been driving since the 1980s and can’t recall ever needing to get valves adjusted. Not even on the POS “Pintostang” I drove in high school.

Just went over 25,000 miles on my 2023 hybrid, nothing but recalls so far. (looks for some wood to knock on)

One of the reasons I picked an XL, I’m getting the full 1498lbs. Kinda funny people make fun of the Maverick, but mine is rated for about 250lbs more than my son’s Nissan Frontier “real truck” (not my son’s attitude, he’s jealous of my hybrid MPG). Granted his is a 4x4 so carrying around extra...

If you’re the DIY type maybe a variant of this? Haven’t tried building one myself yet though (for lumber).

My Maverick is a hybrid, but the first add on we got for the wife’s Subaru was a stop/start stopper.

I have an XL, so there’s no sound reduction foam in the fenders. I don’t have a photo but you can look from the sides of the wiper area straight down into the fenders. These guards certainly won’t hurt things.

Was actually doing a deep cleaning on the Maverick the other day and found a big collection of leaves in the fenders. The photo is after cleaning some of them out. The Maverick is parked outside in a wooded yard. Going to give this product a try.

Heh, sounds like one of my adult sons. When I ride with him I'm constantly grabbing the Chicken Handle and say "brake sooner dammit you're gonna hit somebody someday". "But I've got plenty of room left". The cars are like 2' apart....

Don't currently have one, but almost bought one of these: With the tailgating drivers around here it would probably help.

They even have a radio station for Maverick drivers!

Ships and cars are all female.

Personally I like the “truck look” of the steelies. Wouldn’t be able to add hubcaps anyway, they came from the factory with the balance weights on the outside of the rims.
