Here's my custom Maverick ST version (from 2022 MavericK XLT EcoBoost) since Ford doesn't make one yet

Those Eibach Pro Springs lower the Mav 2.5 in the front, and 3.5 in the rear, right? Looks great!

No it’s 2.0 “ in the front but yes 3.5” in the rear.

I had my truck past 108 so there’s no governor on the Maverick that I noticed.

the governor works very well in my truck....

Humm strange I had mine past 108. Is it a hybrid or Ecoboost?

FWD ecoboost. (running in sport mode with traction control left on.)
the circuit that i let my teenage grandson use the truck at for his first HPDE was MSRH which is not a flowing circuit with long straights like COTA. and he hit it in more than one section so over the weekend it was hit literally hundreds of times!

Cool. So are you saying you can’t get the truck past 108 mph? I mean I could’ve swore my Speedo in sport mode was past 110 but now I’m gonna have to do it again and see lol.

The wheels are 20 x 8.5 and tires are Falken Azenis 245/45ZR20. It has the Eibach pro lowering spring kit. The drop is 2.0” in the front and 3.5” in the rear.

How do you like the circular knob shifter instead of a stick version?

Well I wish it had a regular shifter but the knob is ok. Now In the new Shelby GT500 it has the knob also but on that I wish it had a shifter handle being it’s just an automatic just makes it feel more like a muscle car.

Really clean! Would fool anyone who doesn't know about Maverick trims.

Oh and it does I even fool people that own them. They come to me and say I didn’t know Ford put out a Maverick ST lol. But then I tell them it’s not real that I made it and they’re like wow you did a kickass job making it look real and it looks sick.

reminder, mine was on a closed circuit with other vehicles at a similar pace.
i had told my grandson (btw, i'm an ex racer and a current HPDE driving instructor.) what to expect on the track and warned him as his pace picked up over the weekend he would feel something when his speed hit the 110mph mark (as not to be alarmed by it) and told him i could not describe the feeling exactly because i had actually never been up to 80mph in it!
but even in his first introductory session on track he and his instructor reported to feeling it hit on the longest straight. as his pace improved he was hitting it in 3 different sections every lap.
one thing i just thought of is my tires are (slightly) shorter than stock and my wheels were the lightest wheel i could buy, searching for free HP and economy....

That is one feature I do not like. I have mistakenly missed park or turned it the wrong way. We all muscle memory that wants the old style shifter.
That is probably what caused the young guy from Star Trek to run himself over.

I agree. I've got 50 years of muscle memory. This feature is why I won't consider the Maverick. I wonder if Ford is getting a lot of negative feedback.
