Hello all, new to the club but not new to Maverick. Took delivery July 2021 as part of a special build project in partnership with Ford for SEMA 2021. One of the first Mavericks to hit the west coast as part of our nonprofit (draggteam.org) youth automotive program. Looking forward to hearing about how everyone is feeling about their trucks. Ours is a 2022 XLT hybrid with several upgrades and modifications that I am open to discuss anytime. If you were at SEMA and saw it, we hope you enjoyed the design.

Hi Rod, welcome to MTC!

Looks like you've done alot of appearance/lifeguard functional modifications. Have you upgraded anything in the Hybrid drivetrain? I noticed the 2 exhaust exits under the rear bumper.

And what size tire/rims are those? From the photos it seems the tires may have slightly taller sidewalls in comparison to the stock tire (maybe wider also), and the rims seem larger. I imagine the increased sizes maybe to give better flotation in sand, etc; but I'm just hypothesizing.

Edit: Have you had much of a problem with the Deep Sleep mode that seems to affect some Hybrids (and also a few Ecoboosts) on this website. Just wondering with your Ford contacts if you/they ever determined how to cure it.

Thanks for the warm welcome to The Swarm. The dual exhaust is from Borla exhaust systems. Our truck was the prototype for all of their Maverick exhaust systems. It has a nice sound and good look and I bet the performance on the EcoBoost would be great. as far as other performance upgrades there are none in regard to engine etc. I will post the tire and wheel combination soon because it does make for a nice ride although not really all terrain. only issue we have had was with the main electrical connection from the battery getting corroded which I hear is a common issue.

Welcome. Looks great. Gotta say I might have considered a Ford/Leer/Snugtop topper instead of the ARE i got if that had been available in color matching and had screen windows in those side doors. In the end I love our ARE topper after I tweaked it a little. Glad to see someone out there rocking one of these show vehicles.
