There are things what I don't like and if it is easy/possible to to change, it had been done already. I'd prefer better ride that gas charged shocks/struts provide, but not going spend a bundle on it now to have it. The strut tower brace improved steering, it's good enough for now. The sound system is the same, the sound quality is eh, but it is OK until I decide to keep, or sell the Maverick. If I keep, it'll be updated.
Not much can be done about the engine, that sounds like a sowing machines at idle. Had I known in advance, but that's on me.
The quality of paint, interior/exterior plastic are not the best, but that's a trade off for the lower price in my view. The Lariat Lux comes with comes with lot of chachkies, most of them are electric. I don't really care about some of them, while others are nice to have. It would had been nice a front parking sensor, but I probably didn't order the right package.
Some of the features are disabled by the system, like auto start/stop, due to the weak battery/charging system that is atrocious at best. Especially for people who live in cities and drive short distances. My truck has ~2,600 miles on it in ten month and I fall into this category. In this thread, I've learned that I am not the only one with this issue, some people had the battery replaced twice in a year. Battery might not be the only issue, the Battery Monitoring System (BMS) could be an issue as well, that stops charging the battery after 65, or 75 percent charge. Currently, the battery in my truck is 43% charged and going in service this Friday, I do hope that they can remediate this issue.
If not, that might be the last straw that broke the back of the camel. Having a vehicle that may not start in the winter is unacceptable. It's too bad, the Maverick is a nice little pickup otherwise. I will not put up with the atrocious battery/sharging system and will sell the Maverick in the spring...
