Just surpassing 1000miles on my Maverick XLT with 4k tow package.
Pros:
-More fuel efficient than the EPA. I have filled up my tank twice, boh with regular unleaded gas. Averaged 27 and 29mpg, respectively. Driving mostly on Eco mode and some with normal mode. Split 50/50 on highway and city driving.
-It drives well. The ecoboost engine has more power than I expected, it accelerates well, but does have some cabin noise. Overall though, not very noticeable. Coming from a 2018 Corolla IM, the steering/ maneuverability is fairly similar. Very impressed with my Maverick.
-Have seen complaints about the sound system and the touchscreen. Personally, I have no complaints, haven't had any issues with the radio, and the touchscreen is more than adequate.
- Driving in the snow with the factory Continental Procontacts on slippery mode, I've had zero issues in Colorado.
- The driver cabin space is great. Additionally, the rear seating is spacious and the underseat storage is a good place to store emergency gear.
- I've never had a truck, and the practicality with the good gas mileage is incredible. I've always wanted a Tacoma or comparable midsize truck, but I have been more than satisfied with the Maverick.
Cons:
- The side mirrors could be a little bigger, but the visibility of the front window is awesome.
- The fact that you can't stay in one mode without having to reset it each time you start the truck is annoying, but not the end of the world.
- Otherwise, not too many cons that I have noticed thus far.
Side notes:
-I added the RokBlokz mud flaps and they aren't anything special, but get the job done and easy to install.
-I added the Gator SFX trifold tonneau cover. Loved it, but recently there is a decent amount of flapping noticed, I'll try and tighten it down a bit. Otherwise, great value and super easy to install.
- Have yet to tow anything.
- I ordered July 13th, received December 22nd with no markup from Dealership. Was charged MSRP and was in and out in less than 1hr.
