I live in PA, been to Gatlinburg twice. Also Pigeon Forge, Knoxville, etc. We're considering relocating to the Knoxville area in a couple of years. I'm dreaming of loading up the Maverick and heading to a cabin in Gatlinburg! :)
My youngest nephew is strongly considering going to the University of Tennessee. Any thoughts on Knoxville itself? People friendly around there? I know it is not a huge city, but is it safe near the campus? Thanks for your thoughts.

I would love to get a rear bench seat and bolt it into the bed.

Is it road legal? absolutely not.
Would it be great in other places? Absolutely yes!

Here is a company that makes seats for truck beds:
https://www.reartruckbedseats.com/

Potential uses for a bed seat:
  • Parades (for use in the parade, and on the sidelines)
  • Trick or treating
  • Hay rides
  • Fishing from the bed of your truck.
  • Portable Deer stand?
  • letting kids ride in the back :)
  • Other?

I know that some parts of Knoxville are better and safer than others, so you have to be careful where you move. Use a crime statistics website. I found the people of Knoxville and greater Knoxville were super friendly. I thought it was a ruse for the tourists at first!

Heated steering wheel, windshield wiper defroster, ass heat... just got over a foot of snow and temps in the teens which rarely happens here in the hood.

(my apologies for weeping to those in real artic zones)

I will just he happy to have it in my driveway. Mine is an October order with a Lux pack. I’m worried I’m not getting this year based on continued restraints.

Just being able to have a truck again. After being transferred on my job. I got rid of my gas hungry Ranger FX4. Just couldn't justify spending that much on gas. I drive 75 miles a day. 10 years without a truck was too long.

My hybrid will emit 46 percent less greenhouse gas than my current Toyota Tacoma and will use less motor oil, which is better for the environment as well.

My kayak, but I have lots of bungee cords so think I will be good.
Please do not use bungee cords to secure your kayak. Cinch and ratchet straps are far better (and safer) options. Thank you.

I placed my order for a Cactus Grey Hybrid with Lux package and Copilot 360 last week. I'm excited for long trips without having to worry about gas so much. Current vehicle is a money sink in that respect (2016 Ford Expedition King Ranch). I'm also stoked to take my mountain bike out more often. I'm wondering how the hybrid is going to handle driving through the Colorado and Arkansas mountains. What are you guys going to use your Maverick for?
VACATIONS!!!!!!!

Planning on retiring soon.. maybe before the Maverick comes.
Pairing down vehicles to one.
Big savings planned.

Use for sight seeing trips to visit family and friends in far off states to include with tow trailer for motorcycle jaunts.
Use as a daily driver no more than 10 miles a day.
Use to haul from garden centers to include a trailer in tow for less expensive bulk yard mulch, I use 10 yards a year (great benefit to shovel where you need it, without double handling)
New garage build, so incidental items to pick up from lumber yard and other accessory supplies
Use to run around a lawn tractor, tiller and snow equipment to help out family and freinds.
A truck bed and towing are always a handy self sufficient enabler when you need it...and you know with the efficiency we need.

Sure there will be more....unlimited possibilities with all the accessories being made for this Maverick and future UTES coming behind it.

One thing that I do is recycling . people In my neighborhood throw out unbelievable items on our garbage days ( Monday and Thursday) . I walkers 3 miles every morning and when I see a sellable item I go back and pick it up with the truck . I recycle these into green (dollars) by selling on Craig's list and keeping them out of the landfill . I also pickup scrap metal for a friend that recycle it .
