The Lord has spoken! With the money I saved vs. your build, I'm going to retire early. 😁 I love this club. You guys overpay for Maverick to keep my deprecation down. Best of luck with the 8 speed transmission.
I would agree it's a better choice on paper and even tried to alter my order in 2022 to the 2.0 AWD Velocity Blue but was not allowed. The Hybrid is a better fit for my case. Door card says 1501 lbs. capacity vs ~1350 for the 2.0.
However, the more I read and educate myself, the more I think...
Talk about tyranny, lol. Sounds like you could use the Canadian catapult. We can "allow" it to send your sorry ass back to BC. This 'aint the Canadian Rockies. We will tow heavy weight with the FWD Maverick forever more!
I had 6 posts, this is #7 - I respect what the OP is doing here. It's out of necessity and thrift. If people want to make it a joke then I'll call them out. They would give props in IRL but make fun of them online on their threads. Go Maverick Hybrid FWD forever more!
P.S. - Been here long...
Ok, that's for the 25-26, great. I was wrong*, mine is a 2024 guide. For 22-24, same hitch. I'm just glad nobody listens to you. We're all going to tow whatever we want, period. I'm going to tow WAY OVER 2k before all is said and done thanks to OP!
Edit: *Some posters are still saying...
One last time since you're brain dead. All Mav's have the same hitch. You just don't know your ass from a hole in the ground!
ALL Hitches ALL years ALL packages, ALL trims. Towing guide attached. Everything I write is backed up by SCREENSHOTS. You're a bull shitter.
Dude, you were just flat out wrong, period. You don't even know the specs on the Maverick hitch with your incorrect 200 lbs tongue. Everything I posted had factual SPECS.
I bet if I were standing here with OP you wouldn't say shit or joke. You wouldn't run your f'ing mouth or you'd be...
People tow like this to feed themselves and their families, not to impress Midlanders. So more power to them and less to you for making a joke out of it. I think it's pretty genius myself to tow with the Prius and Truck Prius. I'm less impressed by the Tremor though. Sorry, not sorry.
Double the number, double the sales perhaps? It's almost like Ford has experience upselling buyers. MTC thinks the FWD has warts, lol. It's the same truck, powertrain and hitch but poof, it's double the capacity!
So what are you missing after installing aftermarket air bags and a brake...
That's an awesome full bed liner for $340. Wish someone made just a tailgate rug for the Mav. None yet, but there are for other trucks. I just wanna sit on the tailgate. Right now I use a foam pad under a bath rug on the tailgate, lol.
Agree, elevation gain is a net loss in efficiency. I'm in the Piedmont region. I'll get much better mileage traveling East to the Coastal Plain than I will going West over the Blue Ridge and Appalachians. I drive some very long highway inclines and they hit the avg mpg hard. The downhill...
Yes, not many regrets here on an 8/125k premium care. for 2400. At least you have some features to cover, with no AWD or CP360 I could have done Base, extra care or powertrain. 50k no claims but perhaps I'll get some axles out of the deal eventually.
Technically, they are right saying "no"...
Nothing like a Toyota...except that it doesn't overlap the Maverick use case in any way. We all wanted a pickup for many reasons. If you didn't need one, you wasted your time and money. Hopefully you can stick with a car for 5-10 years and get some use out of it. Meanwhile, that car would be...
Getting gas after going below 1/4 tank is cheap, fuel pumps and evap. systems are expensive. I'm right below 1/4 tank right now and I'll be going for gas tonight. It's been down around 1/4 for a week.
They say that gasoline cools the fuel pump, so that's what I'm going with. I should have...
Me neither, it's all generator braking. Brake checking didn't work in my case and I still have rusty rear rotors. It may have actually worn out the front, as they were replaced by the dealer under a maint. plan. It was a surprise to me. Maybe I'll get new back brakes out of the deal too...
That is what I did but it's hard to tell from my pics. I just put a bit of tire bacon in the hole and some rubber cement. I didn't actually deflate or penetrate the tire. Much ado about nothing. It's good practice at home, IMO. Equipment check and practice with the given tools and whatever...
