Greetings! Just found this forum today, thanks for adding me. I've had my 2026 Lariat Maverick for 1 1/2 months now. I traded a 2013 F-150 FX-4 for my Maverick. So far my wife & I absolutely love it! She hated driving the F-150 because of how big n it was. She loves the Maverick so much that in a few months, we'll be ordering her a ruby red hybrid Lariat. Driving a 13 year old truck, I knew we were going to have additional features in the Maverick, but the difference is so vast, I feel like we were driving Fred Flintstone's car in comparison to what we have now 
. My Maverick is Shadow black, but I've added the red tailgate.lettering, and will be adding more red trim soon.. So far, I've added mudflaps (front & rear), in-channel rain reflectors on all four doors, and of course a soft tonneau cover (had that added at the dealership). We were planning on downsizing eventually, since my kids are grown & out of the house, but my old truck accelerated our time line by throwing some check engine codes at us. Since we only have one vehicle, and my commute to work is 56 miles one way, we figured we'd be better off getting a new vehicle sooner, rather than later. We were considering other similar size trucks like the Colorado, Santa Cruz, Ridgeline, etc. None of those could give us the features for price the Maverick did, at least not where we live. That's fine, though, because, as I stated, we 
our Maverick. I didn't realize they were as popular as they are, either. Since I've had mine, numerous people, coworkers, friends, a few acquaintances have asked me how I like it, and said they were looking at them and possibly considering buying one. And some of those people weren't what I'd call 'small truck people' . Anyway, if you made it this far, thank you for reading this. I'm looking forward to getting some ideas and knowledge from this forum, and if possible, maybe helping or inspiring someone else.
