My daughter (32 yo) is home for the first time since I got my MY24 Lariat Hybrid. No one has driven it but me since I drove it off the lot. Well naturally, she needed to go out visiting friends and naturally my wife said she should use my truck rather than her Lexus.

I just went to check the mail, and I got a deep sinking feeling seeing my driveway empty. I can deal with “deep sleep” issues, but an empty driveway is almost too much to bear. First world problems are real. Thank goodness I have an Air Tag in the truck.

Could be a lot worse if she was 19 and home from college 😱😱

You're killing me.... my daughter is 14, and son 12. Can't imagine them driving, but I know it will happen sooner than I can comprehend.

Before I got our Maverick I was bugging my wife to commit to driving it - she does not like driving our 91 Ranger. Now that I've driven the Mav a little I'm thinking I will feel like you do the first time it leaves the driveway without me.

I assume your daughter flew home from out of state and has a car where she lives? Question is, why didn't she rent a car?

Enjoy time spent with family and best of luck getting that seat adjusted back into your sweet spot.
Man I hate that, big pet peeve. Embarrassed to admit it, but I now write down some measurements after I think I've got the seat position nailed down. Like from brake pedal to front of seat and brake pedal to seam on seat shoulder.

Because after I readjust it blind after someone else uses it, it seems like I'm always second guessing myself. It could be in the same exact position I had it in but subconsciously it doesn't feel right, lol.

My son lives in Glasgow, Scotland and he comes home periodically. I‘m always happy to loan him my ’23 Maverick Lariat hybrid. If that’s the price pay in handing over a key and a tank of gas, to have him home for a week or two, I’m good. I just have to remind him that he’s back in the US and to remember which side of the road to drive on.

Having done time on the roads in left hand drive areas, it's really not hard to switch from left to right drive and vice versa as long as the vehicle is the appropriate configuration for the road. The problem would be if he were attempting to drive a right hand drive vehicle on our right drive roads.

Yep, we make the switch when we head to Scotland to visit our son, my in-laws and friends. While at the University of Edinburgh, I did get my UK drivers license…managing to navigate the roundabouts. We rent when we are in that side and when son is on this side, he borrows the Maverick and we make do with the Ford Escape soon to be RAV-4

Same feeling here. My son and his wife are visiting and he will be the first to drive it besides me. My only admonition was not to scratch the rims against a curb and the stop+start button is low and almost out of sight.

I solved my truck separation anxiety by just buying my daughter her own Maverick 🤪
