  1. To trade or not to trade... that is the question

    Or wait 6 months and see what the new Ford EV pickup looks like.
  2. Most of the time my hybrid works great, but….26.8 mpg is not good

    There is no shifting in the eCVT.
  3. USB-CarPlay Disconnect SOLVED? probably not, but I have info.

    I was having problems connecting my phone to car play in my Maverick. When I plugged my phone into the USB jack, not only did Car Play not work, but the phone wasn't charging either. My wife's iPhone worked just fine. It turns out that the problem was lint stuck in the lighning jack in my...
  4. Ecoboost vs Hybrid

    Why is the hybrid guaranteed to be less reliable? A main difference between the hybrid and the ecoboost is the transmission. The hybrid transmission is a much simpler design with significantly fewer parts than the ecoboost transmission.
  5. Ford poised to own the last compact pickup slot in the US

    There are a lot of Maverick buyers where size is as important as price. Many of us don't have garages big enough for a modern era Ranger or F150.
  6. Ford Maverick is MotorTrend 2026 Truck of the Year! 🏆

    The original Ranger was significantly smaller (at least in width) than the Maverick. I had one, which easily fit in my 1900 vintage garage. I had to spend $6K to widen the garage door when I bought my Maverick.
  7. K Trucks (Kei Cars) - Would you buy?

    I'd love to buy an electric KEI Truck. Perfect for running around town. Love the size. Fits into my garage and is easy to park.
  8. New Battery Not Covered under warranty

    My Maverick is in Wisconsin
  9. New Battery Not Covered under warranty

    I have a 3 year old hybrid Maverick with 15,000 miles that I park for a month or two every winter without any trickle charger. Never had a problem with the battery or the truck not starting.
  10. Ford $30K Electric Truck. A winner?

    If you are paying $0.50/kwh at home, you need to install solar on your house.
  11. Ford $30K Electric Truck. A winner?

    I'm definitely in the market for this if it isn't any larger than the Maverick, so it fits in my garage, and they hit the $30K price point.
  12. Why are car companies dropping Apple CarPlay?

    $0. Removing the software to support Car Play does not eliminate any hardware in the Sync system.
  13. Why are car companies dropping Apple CarPlay?

    Why should it disappear for everyone else, just because you don't like it? It being available doesn't impact you at all if you don't use it.
  14. Why are car companies dropping Apple CarPlay?

    Ford is NOT going to drop CarPlay. They believe that this gives them a competitive advantage vs GM, Tesla, and Rivian.
  15. Why are car companies dropping Apple CarPlay?

    I will NEVER buy a vehicle that doesn't support CarPlay. I use it all the time. I don't need to pay for a navigation upgrade, nor do I want to learn how to use multiple navigation systems in different vehicles. Using my cell phone for navigation works perfectly and is always up to date.
  16. Can I drive my brand new hybrid 400 miles home?

    Are Mavericks available in Germany, or is this a Military only deal? Can you sell your Maverick used in Germany or do you need to ship it back to the US when your deployment ends?
  17. trading in 2025 hybrid maverick with lariat pkg

    Did the sales person misrepresent the vehicle? If so, make them take the truck back and give you a refund.
  18. Mav is too long?!?!?

    It's not just garages that are an issue. Having a small vehicle is a big plus when parking in regular surface lots or parking structures. I love my Ecosport mainly for that reason. Too bad you can't get pickups with the same dimensions as 20 years ago.
  19. Mav is too long?!?!?

    My garage is a Carriage House built in 1901. With my 20 year old Ranger, I had ~10-12" clearance on each side. With the Maverick the clearance was at most 6" on a side. Given the icing on the incline going into the garage in the winter, that was way too scary for me. I have the same problem...
