Picked up my Maverick XLT Ecoboost last Thursday and man do I love it so far. A few comments so far...
  • Very impressed with the fuel miles. Did a 400 mile weekend road trip that was 90% highway and got 31MPG. I did drive mostly in "Eco" mode to see what I could get out of it. Anyone know if you can set it to always run in a mode you want?
  • Blue color is amazing, lots of comments driving around
  • Apple Car Play has worked very well. For a while I couldn't figure out how to get out of CarPlay if I wanted to use google maps but listen to the radio. I did find the FORD AUDIO icon eventually though
  • Did not know that without having to pay for a data plan you get the ability to start the car from your phone, love that! You can also set a schedule and start it via Alexa. I have been asking Alexa so start my car before heading to work and it feels pretty sweet
  • Does not feel huge but the bed still can fit a good amount, got 10 bales of hay with the tailgate down
  • Backset feels pretty roomy even though mine is mostly just for the dog

Overall I am super impressed!!

Nice! I'm sure your dog appreciates the space in the back.

I was under the impression that once the trial period runs out you have to pay the monthly data plan to continue using remote start via the app.

Glad you like the truck, looks great!

Awesome! Thanks for posting. Love the pic with the hay.

My hybrid was "built" the same week as yours (10/8), but it's still relaxing in Mexico.

I’m envious of everyone who has already taken delivery. The wait is driving me bonkers!

The Wi-Fi Hotspot subscription is separate from the remote access features.

No, sir.. Remote start will work without any payment or subscription with the Ford Pass app. I used it for years without cost with my Escape. It’s very handy.

Is yours the 4K tow package, or just the 2K tow?
