I think you should base your decision on your knowledge, experience, and gut instinct, not anyone else on any forum.
Some will duck and run at the first glitch, others will bear an unreasonable burden of problematic ownership and marginalize their woes. We are all different, have different...
I've said many times, my 2022 was outstanding for the first 22,000 or so miles. Never a glitch, worry free, except for maybe the sunglass holder latch, no showstoppers.
I might have considered an extended warranty, but the dealerships and Ford were not able to resolve my Maverick's big issues...
We're in the age where the youthful consumers (target market for Maverick) are conditioned to be beta testers. I remember software companies in the pre-internet days would delay their releases up to a year working out the bugs. It was company suicide to release a buggy product without the...
There are many examples of hybrid owners on the forum with zero issues and some of us that had very frustrating experiences. My ownership experience started out great, but the experience eroded over time, both with the vehicle itself, several Ford dealership service departments, and Ford Motor...
Agree 100%
Worked in similar capacity (HMI and ladder logic). Several years ago I was with a senior controls systems engineer (now with Rockwell), peering into a Tesla, noting the screen area and lack of physical buttons for anything.
He said, "Hell no!, I want something that will get me home...
I had significant issues with the "no-start, no crank" harness issues that the Ford account bot, FMC and numerous dealership service departments never resolved.
I kept a Noco jump starter with me due to the no-start, no crank issue. It had nothing to do with driving it enough, I put 27,600 miles on it in 15 months, do the math. That is a fair amount of use.
The Noco GB40 became my best friend during my time with the Maverick hybrid. A necessity in my case.
Wouldn't Couldn't leave home without it. Or work, or anywhere...
Pollen season. :(
There was a study several years ago (University of Tennessee) claiming that the area between the Cumberland Plateau and the Smoky Mountains has the largest and most diverse combination of allergens in the country. Not only does it cover the vehicles, it is tough on the...
I ordered the first day back on the summer of '21 and received my Maverick the first week of March 2022, over two years ago. They were extremely rare then, but I never noticed any waves, gestures, or secret handshakes. One guy asked about it at the gas pumps, but never the fandom that other...
Right, Severe duty shouldn't be confused with duty cycle.
Severe duty is towing, extreme temperature operation, high speed.
Many on the forum have stated that driving hybrids too little is problematic (deep sleep, etc.). I beg to differ, I drive a lot of miles annually and had no-start...
Similar story here, with an early January 2022 build. Only difference is that you maintained confidence in the brand and dealership, which is great. I wish my Maverick's issues would have been handled better. Congrats on the new F-150!
