  1. 400 Daze + 365 Days Review

    Picked up the Carbonized Gray Lariat Hybrid 1 year ago, after 400 daze of sifting and weeding through MTC Forum submittals as I waited. An array of pics, mods and alarming/humorous entrees were analyzed during the wait, the Owners Manual downloaded and consulted periodically, in preparation. 2...
  2. A Maverick Spotted in a Drive In

    What? You thought this was about a '22 or '23 Maverick Truck? And some may be asking "what's a Drive In?". This twisted/demented gem was discovered in the post-apocalyptic ghost town of Bombay Beach, hard on the shore of the Salton Sea in California. 'Road Warrior' would have been a fitting...
  3. Illinois Auto Dealers Appeal Dismissal of EV Sales Suit

    The newly elected Secretary of State already has his hands fullā€¦ The Illinois Automobile Dealers Association filed the appeal, believing the Tesla, Rivian and Lucid Motors sale model violates Illinois code. In addition, 27 Ford Dealers are challenging Fordā€™s EV mandate requiring $1.5M...
  4. "Dig the Offset" shirt!

    While Driving Westbound yesterday on the Indiana Toll Road, between Toledo snd Chicago, overtook an identical CG Hybrid Lariat. Knew it was a Maverick from a distance ā€˜cuz of the Offset Plate, which has been embraced in this T-shirt. We (the other driver and and I) exchanged pleasantries via...
  5. A ‘No S**T’ Maverick captured on film!

    Still scratching my head on this Maverickā€™s Advertising Wrap, on several levels. Late for an appointment, took the picture, gone by the return. So many questionsā€¦
  6. Dig the Offset! [AVERT EYES if you're a 'Gotta Be Centered' type]

    Playing with the truck after only 7 days into ownership (400 Day Cycle from Order to drive-off ), confirming the tailgate sits level when opened and seeing no evidence thus far of 'soft glass, paint or plastic'. Apple Carplay does provide Navigation to the screen, I've figured out how to mute...
  7. About those 2022 Ford FITS items...

    (driven off 400 days after ordering, for those keeping track). While seated in the Dealership Thursday November 3, going through the 'final details' prior to the much anticipated 'drive off', the Sales Manager hand delivered "The FITS Box". Wow! It was on the list of 'Things to Ask About'...
  8. 3 Different Replies, same day, same question [has the sniff of a shell game or 3-card Monty]

    [Admitting that the entertainment value remains high, but only because 'gallows humor' is still humor...] Dove into the Ford Tracker (again) today, with VIN # in hand and a rumored Production date of 8-8 (which morphed into 8-10 after the last Ford email). The Tracker generated the same...
  9. So close! (and yet so far...)

    Definitely feels as though I'm through the looking glass, as things have become curiouser and curiouser... For the 1st time, my Salesman (who has been responsive from the very beginning) sent an email yesterday with new information that began "Not sure if you are getting updates...", which is...
  10. Blue Oval inside joke?

    Received the much anticipated ā€˜Youā€™ve been scheduledā€™ email May 20, which included this nugget: ā€œWhile you wait, check out the status of your order at any time by clicking the button belowā€. Unfortunately, clicking the button below hasnā€™t worked, every time, all the time, at any time...
  11. Easily Confirmed 1st 'In the Wild' Maverick Sighting

    Been trying to spot a 'live Maverick', as opposed to a Demonstrator fenced inside a Dealer's lot, for months, w/o success, and found that a design quirk [the offset rear liscense plate] made it very easy to answer from a long distance "is it or isn't it a Maverick?". If the plate is centered...
  12. CHICAGO AUTO SHOW: Plans and Intentions

    Perfect timing! (not..) My Salesman provided tickets to the Chicago Auto Show, which starts Saturday 2-12 and runs to Sunday 2-20. This week FoMoCo announced it had idled its Chicago Assembly Plant due to the chip shortage. Perfect Timing! (not). We're planning to make a day of the Show...
  13. Autoblog Hybrid Maverick Suspension Explained

    Found this Autoblog link (somewhere), searched this Forum (kinda) and couldn't find it within. Apologies if it's redundant. It's a clear, concise explanation of the Hybrid Maverick that's coming...or already been delivered to the fortunate few, IMHO...
  14. Maverick Specialist: Hybrid EPA Certification is 'In', Spray In Liner Confirmation and 'The Queue'

    1st Post, previous interaction was solely as a stalker, lurking... The 800-334-4375 Ford Marketing # is a valid option, just requires patience. Eventually spoke with Cassie, who is (unofficially) The Maverick Specialist, who provided a wealth of information: * The EPA Certifications causing...
