Hello from Central Valley, CA

[Birfield85]

I came home with a 2022 Maverick Lariat hybrid a couple weeks ago. I've been trying to find one just to sit in and test drive (wanted to compare ecoboost and hybrid) and they had a used one with ~3,000 miles that ended up coming home with me. I've already put ~1,500 miles on it and working great so far!

Previously I had an EcoBoost F150 which I loved, but a new job and longer commute didn't validate the fullsize any more. Before that was a 2000 Ranger so it feels like going back to those roots a little. The Maverick won't tow my 'Yota but should still pull the 15' Boston Whaler (I'll have to report back on this).

I also have a 1985 Toyota Pickup that's mostly offroad (blue one climbing the waterfall in this pic in Sand Hollow, UT)

Until ~1 yr ago, I had worked 11 years for a company as an engineer designing and building aftermarket and OE suspension (sway bars, air suspension and leaf springs). Here's a couple builds I worked on for SEMA over the years. Sticking with the Fords in this thread. The Bronco is on an Art Morrison chassis with a 5.0L Coyote.

Congrats on your new HPR Lariat maverick! Enjoy it and I would stay away from that "waterfall" with your new Mav.

I see that you joined Maverick Truck Club today. Welcome to the club.

Congrats on your new Mav. Thanks for posting your pictures. I used to be a Jeeper (2004 Jeep Wrangler with lifts, big-fat tires, etc). I did go over many trails like you did.

Looking forward seeing your new posts (and pictures) of your Mav pulling a Whaler.

Happy Mavericking.

Congrats on your new Maverick. We have two - Hybrid and EcoBoost and enjoy the crap out of both them. Also, glad you live in Central Valley. We did work there for years all the way from Texas and I flew out that way about once a month. In fact, i opened an office for a couple of years. Now retired and get to stay in Texas, mostly, except when travelling in Motor Home.
