Thank you for the advice!

After seeing the below message, I'm not sure about things in general. Like you said, I'm glad they're upfront about it, but still that sounds like considerable damage.

Ouch, that won't be cheap to fix. You might be able to get a discount for that level of damage. Please keep us updated on what you decide to do -- even if it means passing on this one.

Thanks for the advice!

I'm glad to know about the 2025 AWD. I wish it was available for 2024... I do like the front end look just a tad better.

Definitely interested in the hybrid. This truck's appeal to me is that it is just barely within my purchasing power, so I'm hoping to be able to thread the needle with an XL or XLT and the towing package.

I told the dealer I didn't care about paint colors, which he said would help with searching.
I bought a 2024 Lariat with the 4k towing package. I personally liked having separate climate controls not integrated into the larger touchscreen. Plus the price on a 2024 is lower. The employee pricing is the same as the X plan I was told. I went with the EB because I am old and want to hear the motor running. It would freak me out if it cycled on and off. Happy hunting.

I definitely agree with MavStangVa about the physical climate controls too. ... If only 2024 had the tow package

A coworker sent me a window sticker tool that quickly lets me check if a Maverick is hybrid or has the tow package: https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin=3FTTW8B92RRB58956

Other than that the only search tool that accurately applied the tow package filter is Ford's own site: https://www.ford.com/inventory/mave...specialPackage=C1CAQ&year=2025&fuelType=GBVAZ

I had a 24 hybrid with regular towing package and it had a 4pin only. My 25 w/4k has a 4 AND 7pin... might be an easy tell?

Thanks! If I'm in-person that sounds like the fastest way to know. But I have noticed these listing websites tend to have stock photos for the truck, so I don't think I'd trust it.


Highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the order guide and what each line means for the trim you are looking for. This is the source of truth and much more reliable than Ford's own configurator. Search on here if there's anything you don't understand.

Thank you!

That pdf is awesome, and it's helped me narrow down that I'm not interested in an XLT at all without the XLT Lux package. Most of the safety features I'm interested in will come with the 4K tow package, and the XLT standard changes don't matter to me (wheels, interior colors, meh).

Held my nose at the day-one price increase and signed the build paperwork just now. $35,000 out the door for XL trim with the 4K towing package.

I'm pretty sure I got taken for a bit of a ride, which is par for the course for me. Sales guy said he wasn't able to sign additional paperwork to guarantee the price and employee discount, but pinky promised the bill I signed was the same thing.

How in the world did you get an XL up to 35k??

Wait, keep in mind I got the 4K towing package. And it forces the copilot to be added too.

I guess there was no discount given? I just got mine for 31600 OTD incl. sales tax for an XL Hybrid with 4K.

Lariat is the top trim level. It has everything the XL gets and much more. I also have the 4k tow package. There should be no way I only paid $2xxx more than you for way more truck.
