Greetings from Miam, FL

[LouR]

Hello everyone. I'm a retired air traffic controller and Desert Storm Army vet that's lived in Miami, Fl since I was 10.

Due to some unexpected events in our life, I chose to downsize from a 2020 Ford F150 Lariat to my new 2023 Maverick Lariat FX4. After making the decision to buy one, I shopped around looking for one that was equipped with some key options; the 4K Tow Package (for my small boat), the Lariat package (I like the interior and the upgraded features), the B&O stereo (I like my music), and the moonroof (I would prefer a convertible, but this will do). I found this last 2023 at a local dealer and the day I decided to visit the dealer, they had reduced the price by $1,900 below MSRP. I took that as a sign.

So far I am enjoying it, especially the gas mileage compared to the F150. I've added a few upgrades and am looking forward to learning from all of you as well as sharing anything I learn along the way.

One interesting occurence recently, when I started the truck a loud horn sound came from the speakers and then loud static hiss. I turned off the truck and opened the doors and the noise continued. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop. Anyone else have this experience and any ideas on the cause?

Welcome to the forum. I enjoyed living in South Fla while stationed at Homestead AFB during mid-eighties. Yes their are other occurrences of your issue. Search Fabrizia post of Dec 26, 2023, there are also references to other threads there. Good luck!

Hello and welcome.

Hello and thank you for your service. Congratulations on the new Maverick. If you can't figure it out, that's kinda of why they have a warranty and dealerships. Like was posted you can search MTC and possibly someone had similar issues and possibly a fix. Good luck with your new truck, wishing you the best with it

Hey Luis.

First off, thank you for your service.

Less important, congratulations on getting your Maverick! I think you will really enjoy it. This forum is full of folks that have done different mods and are willing to share their experiences. You are in a good place!

Now that you have it, perhaps one of the first mods is to add a Maverick Truck Club decal so you can properly “represent.”

Two styles/sizes available:

Maverick Truck Club Decal (Glossy) | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions ($5 delivered)

Maverick Truck Club Decal (Transfer) | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions ($6 delivered)

Welcome and thank you for your service. I was actually going to school at FIU in North Miami when Desert Storm happened. I remember it well. Anyway, hope you enjoy your new truck. Sounds like you got a smoking deal. Most paid MSRP or more. We'd love to see some pictures. I would especially like to see a palm tree right about now, as it's 26°F outside.

Thank you for the pointing me to that post. I see others are having the issue, but no real solution yet.
