I do not know which part I need to check prior to confirming handover my new maverick from a dealership.

Any suggestions?
Go over every item on your order form, and question anything that they may add to it. We are all excited when our trucks come in, and that's when the salesperson wants to to sign the paperwork without going over it.

Test drive for dash rattles, wish someone had told me this, mine is horrible, even considering selling because of it. '23 XLT Hybrid
The dash rattles are often the speaker grills next to the A pillars. I put foam tape between the grills and the A pillars. No more rattles.

I didn't try the radio on the shakedown drive with the salesman. Later found out the antenna was missing. That was the only thing wrong.

Did you have to remove a-pillars and speaker grills?

I would make sure the day I pick it up its during the day time and make sure its not raining. Rain and poor lighting can hide stuff. Scratches, seat fabric, etc can hide stuff in the rain or dark.

Owner's manual. You can always go back and get it later, or just buy one - but the dealer owes it to you, and at least a couple of people have brought brand new Mavericks home and not had one in the glovebox.

The paperwork that the Finance Mgr. will hope you don't look at. Mine added things without discussing them. I had them taken off, but after I noticed them at home.

Check to make sure the basic 'off the truck' detailing was done. Mine hadn't had the inside glass washed and I could see the circle marks from the factory windshield installation on the glass (showed up in twilight, dusk/dawn lighting). I agree with the other tips posted also... Proper tire pressure, Nick's and scratches, undercarriage clean and dry, and any dealer installed options you've ordered are on there.

Same. Seen a bunch of these. This is often overlooked at the pre-delivery inspection and then the first time you use it you get the low washer fluid warning.

Take your time, check front to back everything hood gaps ect... My dash had a razor cut and the inside back plastic by the door was scratched all ready.

We had smudges on the headliner in the back seat. (?!?!) Someone posted a year or two ago they took pictures of the tiniest little paint imperfections all over the exterior. Had the dealer touch them up.
