I've had my Maverick for a couple months now, got the Hybrid kind to save on gas and whatnot.

Ever since tho, people keep flashing their high beams at me like one does when the oncoming vehicle's high beams are on and you'd like them to turn them off so you can see.

Only problem is my high beams aren't on. Yes, I check. Yes, my high beams were on a couple of those times and I'm sorry. But 9 times out of 10 it's just my regular ass lights.

What is it about the Mav that's different? Is it too bright or something? They're stock lamps, none of that fancy aftermarket stuff.

Edit: No, I'm not going to flash them back. For one, that doesn't solve my or their problem, and for two, if the other driver panics when the lights get even brighter and crashes into me, it'll still be my fault, and worse because that would be considered road rage in my state.

I have a daily driver and an old 2000 Ranger and wanted to replace both with a new Ranger. I started shopping around for a new Ranger (XLT 4x4) and they were coming in around $36-38k before tax, title, and any negotiation. But it just feels bigger than I really need. I like parking in the garage and obviously the Ranger can't fit. Previously I had considered the Maverick, but thought it's too small, but seeing it at the dealership made me realize the size is not an issue. In fact, I could probably park it in the garage.

But after pricing out the trim an options I want, it's about $41k (before tax, title, haggling). This is with a Lariat trim, hybrid, and AWD. The price includes features I didn't necessarily need like 4k tow package and power sliding rear window. It's not fair to compare a Lariat Maverick vs a Ranger XLT, but the lower trim Maverick just lacked a lot of features I'm used to in my vehicles. So now the problem is mentally being okay with paying close to $45k out the door for what is supposed to be a "budget" truck. With some negotiating, I could probably talk them down $2-3k, but still, does this seem way too much to be spending on a Maverick?

** This is in California BTW. And I'm not talking about whether it's a good deal compared to your region, more about the fact I'm adding on all these costs: Lariat, hybrid, AWD, extra features

Hello all, I am coming from 4 straight F-150's, and am looking at a smaller truck. I have heard the Msverick is roomy, actually more so than the Ranger. I am 6'2", and am wondering from the actual owners, if it is big enough for someone my size. I will probably go look next Thursday, do any info is appreciated. Also, I like the Lobo trim, is that a good buy?

My F-150's have all been XLT, except my current one is a Lariat. I mostly drive to and from work (18 miles each way). Any longer drives and we usually take my wife's Explorer. Do, just wanting some input from Maverick owners. Thanks.

I currently drive a 2023 Camry, I drive about 25 miles each way for work, it’s all HWY. I’m about 5’9 and my wife is 5’3 we are expecting soon! Just want to know if a maverick would be a good idea. We live in Wisconsin in a small town and rarely go in long car trips. Do you all enjoy your maverick. I’ve always wanted a bronco but the price tag isn’t quite worth it to me as I get older.

Pretty much the title. I’ve had my truck for only around a month, but I’ve been using wipers a lot over the past few days. They work in that they clear water, but they’re loud and not very smooth. Is it just me?

Anyone get a third party (non-Ford brand) tonneau cover that's working well for them? If so, what was the cost and brand? Is installing it yourself pretty easy DIY stuff?

Seeing the post about the extended warranty has me curious.

Other than fluid & filter changes, what’s been necessary?

I’ve seen windshields and some recalls can be an issue for some. Seems somewhat innocuous imo.

My front stock is around 5/32 and rear is 6-7/32. At 16k miles and I drive like a granny mostly freeway hypermilling. I noticed the grip has started to go so I took it into discount tires. They were too busy and the wait was like 4-5 hours. I went to the next shop and they told me I need new tires because it's getting close to 4/32 in the front so they can't rotate it. I'm in SoCal so it hardly rains, do I really need to change it out that early? Unfortunately I got another car so I'm just driving locally and about 4 miles a day on my Maverick. It's such a nice car and I just want to hold it for a few months before the registration runs out.

I have a big pickup now and thinking of getting a Maverick and selling the Silverado. On the side I do grocery delivery. The Silverado gets 13-14 MPG and is killing me in gas. Is anyone else using the Maverick for delivery? The back seat in the one I am looking at when folded up does not have a flat floor but has a raised area with compartments - I assume they are all like this? What do you do to transport? Is there anything I can do to make this flush or maybe a seat extender for more space to cover the gap? I like to put everything inside if I can I am not sure how customers would feel about me hauling much in the bed? Maybe drinks back there? Any info would be great or anything you use to make this the best possible?
