I hope you're right. I once drove an older Escape for field service jobs and started/stopped the thing all day long. I had to replace the starter every two years which was a $500 job per. The Mav start/stop will be cycling much more than that so it just has me wondering but like you said, time will tell.
Hunter dropped his baggie!
CP360 is a must-have option, in my humble opinion.
I agree, even though initially, my two main reasons for adding it were Power Mirrors and the (almost) full-sized spare it adds to the Hybrid XL.CP360 is a must-have option, in my humble opinion.
We're very happy to hear that you're loving your new Maverick!Itās here! 2024 2.0t, AWD, 4K, BAP.
It is exactly what I had hoped for and more! I have been researching them ever since Ford announced they were gonna build it. I've read tons of reviews - so I had some preconceived ideas, but here are some first impressions.
Overall, I am so happy with it! It meets or exceeds all my expectations, and I look forward to putting some miles on it!
- The "cheap" plastic interior is much nicer than I expected. everything feels like quality materials.
- I thought I would hate the stop/start feature, but it so quiet and seamless, I barely notice it.
- The AWD got it's first taste of snow & ice, and it handled great! Very sure-footed, even on an icy slope.
- The BAP interior trim is just that - trim. The base color is still dark blue, but I tell ya - the whole combo looks awesome!
- I don't love the rims, looking at replacing with a different style.
- The auto-high beams work way better than I expected!
- The rotary shifter is weird, but not awful. I'll get used to it.
- I actually like the brake-hold. my calf muscle aches while holding the brake, this is an unexpected bonus!
- I hope I never have to rely on the emergency assistance braking, but I am glad it's there. I actually didn't know about this until I saw the window sticker.
- Haven't towed anything yet, TBD!
Thank you for sharing this with us and ford being a part of the Ford family!
Thank you! This site has been so helpful in making my decision, and I will be here a lot as I start planning my upgrades/mods!We're very happy to hear that you're loving your new Maverick!
Agreed on the speakers, flat sound even after messing with the equalizer. It is my only complain after two weeksAnother thought. Driving home, the first station I tuned into started playing āFor Those About to Rockā so of course I cranked it!! The stock speakers were very overmatched.
Side note: I had already nicknamed the truck Angus. Back in Black!
Troy, I hope I'm not hijacking your thread, but did want to share;
I was pretty sure I would be upgrading the speakers, adding an amp & sub. After hearing it, this is now my #1 priority! (I'm no audiophile, but I do know that no bass and tons of distortion = bad.)
My Wife tested the brake assist, works just like it is suppose to. Thank God.
I was talking from experience I had a young child ran out in front of my Maverick although I did see him and I was on the brake the truck stopped immediately in its tracks faster then my foot could push the pedal to the floor. Of course I was driving at the proper speed because even the brake assist can't over ride the properties of physics like driving too fast! As you say thank God. Couldn't live with myself if I had hit the child.
Nice. Tomorrow will be a week in my possession. I have been in them a few times before and driven two different ones but am really impressed overall with the quality of everything. I wasn't expecting luxury feel or anything but have been impressed with how 'solid' it feels.Itās here! 2024 2.0t, AWD, 4K, BAP.

I have looked at 100ās of wheels, and no closer to a decision! I will wait until spring in any case. Tomorrowās weather is decent, Iāll get more pics. I havenāt spent much time with the audio controls yet, I hope there is a way to do what your asking..Nice. Tomorrow will be a week in my possession. I have been in them a few times before and driven two different ones but am really impressed overall with the quality of everything.

Unfortunately I was not able to find one with BAP in the price range I wanted to pay but I tired to order one with it a couple of times to find out later it was not ordered.
Have to give us a profile shot to see the wheels. What would you be looking to replace with? I was not in love with the XLT wheels prior to purchasing and had planned to change them out at some point but they have been growing on me so we will see what happens.
Rotary shifter.... I am mostly use to it but miss having a center console shifter.
Door handles are taking some getting use to as I tend to grab and end up grabbing the missing spot... or should I say air.
Auto-high beams, I have not had the opportunity to see them in action yet, but love this feature. I had a used 1984 Lincoln Mark VII (I was a weird teenager when it came to cars) that had this feature and loved it but have never had a car since that had it.....I can't remember if my 09 F150 had it or not but I don't think so.
One thing I have not figured out yet and don't recall seeing in the manual. Is there a way to go to the next preset without touching the screen. It doesn't seem to be on the steering wheel, and the buttons on the 'radio' are just seek buttons....
Iām too far away from my apartment to connect to WiFi, will have to try with a hotspot. Still no FordPass point for me yet, but it hasnāt even been a week yet.Troy, I hope I'm not hijacking your thread, but did want to share;
I'm also in Minnesota and took delivery of my truck Monday night. I also have been please so far.
My only complaint is I couldn't connect the Sync 3 to our home wifi, despite having a transmitter in the garage. I could connect when I turned my phone into a hotspot, so I'm guessing it's something to do with the home wifi more than the truck. Perhaps it's picking up signal from too many transmitters on the same network?
I checked for updates, once connected, and it's all up to date, so that's good.
Separately, I haven't received my Ford Pass Rewards yet. They told me I'd get 42,000 points, and I have plans for them. I'll give that a couple more days before reaching out to see what's up.
Anyways, If you head towards Duluth keep your eyeballs peeled for an Atlas Blue Maverick wandering around!
