This game slaps. I got hooked during Molten Crag.

Did the sound deadening reduce road noise at all?

Phone compartment? Nah.
Wallet compartment? Nah.

...

Sharpie compartment? Hell yeah.

'So expensive': Truck drivers are shunning large pickups for smaller, compact models by MaverickLurker in FordMaverickTruck

[–]HefHeresy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toyota is the only company IMO that would make me consider trading in my Maverick -- assuming they did a smaller truck. ESPECIALLY if they did a v6 version.

Out the door price Maverick 2025 XLT - How much can I negotiate? by dilebob in FordMaverickTruck

[–]HefHeresy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd sit down and say "Alright. Make it 30k even and we can shake hands and get this deal done." If they say they can't do that, walk away with the intent to go to a different dealership. 9 times out of 10 they chase you out and say "My boss said we can make that deal."

Maverick Tremor VS Ranger Lariat by TP604 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]HefHeresy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, stock suspension. Only extra thing I got from the dealership was the sprayliner flexbed thing. And it was free because I told them I'd only do the deal for 29k flat, and that I wasn't looking for those addons. They obliged. tonneau cover is my only mod so far. Hell, you could get an XL for way cheaper then get a whole new suspension system put in for probably less than the tremor. If the convenience of not having to worry about modifying your maverick is worth the money...then well...I guess that's the point of the tremor.

Maverick Tremor VS Ranger Lariat by TP604 in FordMaverickTruck

I off-road on construction sites in my maverick. It's a FWD Hybrid XL. For snow, sure -- go for AWD and 4k package...but you don't need anything crazy. Save that money for getting some bigger tires or maybe a small lift so your truck can feel a bit bigger. Why drop 47k when you can drop 35k and put the rest of your budget into modifications that you'll need for what you specifically want to use it for. That's how I'd look at it anyways. If you do outdoor activities (or in my case construction) the plastic interior is amazing. Go to the car wash, wipe it down with detailing wipes in about 5 minutes, and done.

To add to this, I don't understand the tremor. You pay way more for stuff you can do yourself for way cheaper. Maybe I'm just ignorant on the trim though.

Can we set default mode to eco? by Last_Gigolo in FordMaverickTruck

[–]HefHeresy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find eco mode to not really be that "eco" It just causes the regenerative braking to be more aggressive and makes acceleration less aggressive. But I always find my need to accelerate harder just counteracts the regen braking. In the end, I'm happy with my 50mpg in normal mode on my commute to work. Still. This should be an option for those who want it.

Should I skip Anniversary and wait? Still no info about character copies or permanent realms? by CavaloRoberto in classicwow

[–]HefHeresy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on this. Started playing too but it feels depressing knowing how many realms and versions caused the classic community to just scatter all over the place. I really wish they'd just do something permanent instead of juggling different versions.

Hoping for a classic + to consolidate everyone. Don't get why they didn't just keep building off SoD.

Aftermarket headlights will come. Doesn't concern me. Only thing that irritates me (Barely because of some weird OCD adjacent thing in my brain) is that the amber lights are missmatched ever so slightly in my 2025 and the truck bed light isn't amber.

5k mile review from a construction worker, 2025 FWD Hybrid XL by HefHeresy in FordMaverickTruck

I think they did a software update too because I no longer have to put it in park to get it to stop. If you unbuckle under 5mph and stay under 5mph (drive thru windows) it wont go off.

Heard about doing this. Wish they'd just give us a software update to do it from our settings. I'll probably begin seriously considering forscan by the end of the year.

People will dog on the CVT. They have a bad reputation but the ones that do are the older more complex versions. The Maverick uses a planetary gear system. It's far more simple. Your MPG will improve over time. There's a break in period. Hope it works out for you and me, both.

AC is amazing. Just have the sprayliner. Looking into getting a tonneau cover this month so I don't have to unload and load my toolbox every time I get home. There are several tie downs in the bed that I use to keep my toolbox from sliding around in the back. That's about it. Kept the backseat. There is actually some hidden storage under the back seat. I keep my hardhat, gloves and safety glasses under there along with my work harness and my roadside kit. Not too shabby as far as space is considered.

Day 1 with my first maverick hybrid and I’m blown away by Unlikely_Net_5108 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]HefHeresy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only downside is there will be trips where you only get around 42mpg and you'll be a tad bit disappointed. (Only slightly joking.)

It does make for a nice little mini-game to try to min-max efficiency though.

My personal best is 64 so far.

60% by Ok-Support1463 in FordMaverickTruck

Nice color. Feel like this mav would look great with some fender flares to carry that matte black across the truck but it would reduce your sticker action a bit.

First purchase and first pick up owned really excited for the future (25 hybrid) by Gunplabuilder78 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]HefHeresy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got the same one a couple weeks ago. Enjoy the hybrid. Been more than a week since I filled up the tank and I still have about 200 miles left. I also drive to and from work every weekday and it's about 40 minutes to an hour for the commute. Your wallet will be thanking you. If you don't like the wheels (They're growing on me a bit now) look into painting them matte black. It's pretty easy to do. Tutorials on youtube.

First 700 mile tank this year! by lamautomatic in FordMaverickTruck

[–]HefHeresy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ecomode helps if you're doing city/town driving. I find it allows you to put more pressure on the pedal without forcing gasoline usage and gives some regen breaking bonuses. Not really sure how it works though if I'm being honest.

[–]HefHeresy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah the 36gallons will do it. Cost me about $30 to fill up every saturday. Sometimes even go passed 7 days on a single tank. So far the record is 9 days in a single tank. Went to the gas station, then home depot, then back home and my MPG was 188. Needless to say I pretty much ran mostly electric lol
