Ordered on 1/15/22, delivered on 12/10/22. Plain Jane XL in cactus gray. The only options I added are the AWD and tow package. Very pleased so far.

same configuration as mine- but I don't consider it "plain Jane" when you add the ECOboost motor, AWD, and IRS (ALL part of AWD option). If you are talking about 4k Tow package (mine is) you also get larger radiator with fan + Trans cooler + optimized rear end ratio for the towing + 4/7 pin wiring on your hitch + standard brake controller. Love mine too!

I’m being sort of sarcastic - all the things you mention are important to me but aren’t obvious like fancy electronics, luxury trim interior, wheels, etc. that impress people.

I was thrilled when it finally arrived. I traded a 2005 F-150 in for it. The F-150 felt primitive in comparison.

My only disappointment is that it is filthy already. I live on a gravel road and it has been muddy due to recent rain.

My plan is to agitate the township supervisors to pave the road. It’s only 3/4 miles - should only cost them $250k or so.

We live in the country with a mix of paved and unpaved roads. Long gravel driveway and no garage. My Mav lives under the carport and displaced my Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is a better vehicle for DD in Winter conditions and long drives. Maverick only has 190 miles on it in 2 months since I took delivery. I plan on rotating vehicles based on seasons 😎

Wow, 190 miles is not much. I traded my F-150 and my 2013 Prius c on it, so it’s my only vehicle. It will be my daily driver. The c was a great car - 159k miles, requiring nothing but routine maintenance, and averaged 56 mpg over the lifetime of ownership.

Yeah, once we retired and had no work commute, annual miles driven fell way off. I'm actually taking our 2018 F-150 in for its "15000" mile service today with less than 14k on it 😂

My Maverick was not a need-based purchase, but rather a want to complement our existing "fleet" and a strategic purchase since the future doesn't look promising for availability of vehicles that appeal to me. Our highest mileage vehicle is actually our E-450 based RV, but we plan to keep them all until the day neither of us can drive safely.

Found the way to my Y2K ranch was nicely paved and so where the crossroads. Ask realtor what’s Up? A long time Texas state senator family farm was on same road… was why. We have bike lanes on a rural highway!!!

I had a 2012 Prius-C, and NEVER got close to 56 mpg with it, except once when I was seriously hypermiling... Average on mine was closer to 42-45 mpg, depending on what type of driving I was doing. But in fairness, I lived in the country, and there was very little "stop and go" driving - mostly 45-65 mph 2-lane roads, and occasional 65-75 mph freeways.

With the Mav Hybrid, I just got back from a trip where I averaged 36.8 mpg, driving 70-75 mph freeways about 90-95% of the miles. Well above the EPA estimates for the Hybrid. Loving this truck!

I feel very fortunate, ordered 9/16/22 and received the "scheduled for production" email on 12/09/2022. My production date is the week of January 30, 2023. Lariat Lux EcoBoost with CP 360 & 360 Assist plus full-size spare in Alto Blue. I almost feel guilty considering so many folks have been waiting a year or more.

At the time I was commuting 135 miles round trip to work, and my drive was primarily on well-graded, level Maryland interstates, with no stopping at all. It really shone under those conditions. The best single tank mpg I achieved was 66 mpg during the summer. It would drop to the low 50s during the cold months.

Can’t say I am crazy about gravel roads for miles and miles, but I prefer the look and sound of a gravel or limestone driveway. Just something about pulling in and stopping on a stone driveway that feels like “ I am home.” Like the look more than asphalt or concrete too. Seems to blend into the land better.
