High Mileage Mavericks, Ride Up!

[Scott Asheville]

I have 19,000 on my Eco with no issues worth mentioning. I plan to trade it on a 2025 "something". Might be a Santa Cruz. Might be a Maverick. Might be something else, as I'm not wedded to a truck bed, and I really want a small BEV.

My choice depends on how the 2025 refreshes look. I won't get another Maverick unless they do a major infotainment update. I won't get a Santa Cruz unless they update a few things (put the new Tucson interior in the SC, and offer a conventional automatic in the turbo).

So my Maverick report card is a solid A, even though I'm not a fanboy and I don't particularly like it. It's kind of won me over by just being there and working every day.

The b e v rings so true for me. I do like my Maverick and having the bed is really convenient as I do a lot of outdoor stuff. I did end up getting delirious and the screen on that I think is way better than the other trims. I know it's still a $20,000 truck with better lipstick but the luxuries the lariat luxury package comes with are really nice and make it a lot more enjoyable for me to drive.

I do keep my vehicles for a very long time and I plan on doing all the maintenance on this one myself so I'll just keep driving it until they stop selling gasoline lol

I have 33,400 miles on my 22 mav. I got my Mav in the beginning of March 2022 and I’ve had no major issues so far. Occasionally the infotainment system will act up with Apple Pay and will need a restart but that’s about it. My only complaint is the smooth plastic interior scratches like crazy and my back windows seem a little “loose” when you roll them down/up the window shifts side to side, it doesn’t seem to be an issue so I’m taking it as a first year vehicle quirk.

I’m averaging about 25-28mpg depending on where I’m driving. I pull a small popup camper (~1100lbs) with it and it handles it just fine, I never feel like I don’t have enough power to get up hills. I recently took a road trip to Maine from PA hauling the popup and averaged around 23mpg with it.

It’s been a great little truck and I plan to have keep it as long as I can.

Sounds like you're having too much fun with that pop-up camper lol.

I don't have that issue with my back window but I'm going to keep on eye on it as time goes on.

For us it's hauling camping and hiking equipment up and down the Appalachians to hike different areas of the mountains. We like to visit national Parks as well so we take pretty long trips to see them

I started driving my XL awd ecoboost May of 2022. I'm at 56,000 now without issues so far. During construction season I average ~900 miles per week. This changes drastically during the cold months (much less driving) but so far I've averaged 25mpg throughout the entire ownership. This is a lot of stop and go, in and out of offices and construction sites, and lovely Chicago traffic.

For the utility I get out of the Maverick, I don't know that I will ever not have one as my daily driver. Not to mention, the 25 mpg could easily be closer to 27/28 if I just let off the throttle.

That a lot of miles but it's good that there are no issues. I'll be around 8k by the start of next year

Just over two years ownership. Hit 47k today. I'm sure I don't hold the record.

Mine will be a year old on December 21st and just turned 31K miles. Taking her for tires this morning the pro contacts are getting thin and the last little snow wasn't fun.

Saw a few people that have me beat, but I'm halfway through the factory warranty.... 2022 XLT EB AWD. Harness extension and airbag recall is all I have to report. 20.3MPG with a gross amount of idle time

23' xl hybrid picked up january 12th 2023. Currently just shy of 17,000 miles. I go surf fishing twice a month in jersey, so thats a good 600 miles a month, plus a few trips to the poconos to the family cabin. No issues so far, getting it inspected in 2 weeks so I'll find out if there are any issues to report back with.

Bump. I'm interested in seeing some of you guys mileage now I'm only at 16k in my 23 XL hybrid.

 

[CaReviews]

I've got 29k miles on my 23 XL Eco fwd, no major issues to report here. All the typical nuisances like the infotainment glitching out at times, and the dash rattling but aside from that it still drives great and haven't had any other issues with it! Still riding on the factory continentals too and have about 5/32 tread left on them, gonna be replacing them with Michelins and Focus ST Snowflakes here soon!

May of 22, 33,500 miles. Original Conti's and I have 4 recalls pending. I will address the recalls next oil change. No issues other than all the recalls. I did have the drivers rear tail light issue popping out. But I fixed that with some garden hose washers. Yes the "Infotainment system" is very glitchy. I semi fixed that with a wireless carplay dongle (I usually just use the XM app or Itunes) Overall I love this truck. Averaging low 40's MPG and mid 30's in the winter.
