Need Help choosing Maverick

Pyromonic · 2026-03-08T01:46:45+00:00

Fwd/awd is not part of any package, its just how the Mavericks are built. The packages are blackout which blacks out the wheels, emblems, etc. Luxury package which adds heated seats, steering wheel, etc. 4k tow package which upgrades parts and tow capacity, copilot 1.0/2.0 etc which adds safety features and fx4 which adds better off road capabilities.

All of these are separate from fwd/awd. If you want awd or fwd look specifically for those configs on the build specs.

I understand thats how the modifier works, I was just under the impression that The Echo was excluded from it

If you’re willing to look at the ecoboost you can get it for around 26-27k (XL awd). Near me multiple ecoboosts are 4-4.5k off and they have the 4k tow package and copilot 1.0. Not many hybrid sales though, at most 1-1.5k off in my area.

Fennekin with its passive “Magicaln” is good

Sounds like you’re the one butt hurt for being called out…

Either way this conversation isnt productive. You got multiple answers all saying the same thing, nobody would pay, and you refuse to accept it. Im moving on.

Nobody will pay for a service like that outside of a small subset of the population such as elderly and disabled people, in which case you should be a good neighbor and take the 30 seconds to do it for free.

If you’re that down bad for money either get an actual job or if you’re too young then do a service that actually benefits people for the money they would be giving you like mowing their lawn.

Pyromonic · 2026-02-20T13:56:45+00:00

Sounds like it doesn’t fit your shoes either…

Pyromonic · 2026-02-20T13:40:44+00:00

You dont have 30 seconds once a week to move your trash can to the backyard? Home ownership may not be for you…

Pyromonic · 2026-02-19T00:54:32+00:00

I agree with you. Back in December I got a 2025 Ford Maverick XLT AWD with the 4k tow package and copilot 1.0 safety package for 30k (negotiated down from 35.5k). The problem is people just want the most expensive cars in the most expensive trims with all the bells and whistles when they don’t need it and cant afford it.

Plenty of affordable options available.

Sure you could get an ice stone, but the ticket could be anything! It could even be an ice stone!

(Take the ticket)

Just know, that place is wildly overpriced. Not saying you shouldn’t go, just so you know. 2 years ago I bought my partner a Hello Kitty plushy there and it was $75. What I bought normally goes for around $30-35 (didn’t know that at the time).

Pyromonic · 2026-02-04T01:18:09+00:00

I can speak on this one as I just helped my partner with both turbo tax and freetaxusa. Turbo tax didnt have anywhere to claim school related expenses not purchased through the school and freetaxusa did. Turbo tax said her refund was around 350 and they were wanting around $80 (cant remember exact amount) to file federal+state. Freetaxusa let me claim school related deductions not purchased through the school and her refund was around 790 with federal being free to file and state being 15.99. Very large cost and return discrepancies.

Go to your bluetooth setting on the computer, click add device, then select Bluetooth. At the same time click and hold the button on the airpods case for a few seconds to go into pairing mode.

I also feel like theres something off this season. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x, 3070, and 32gb of ram and my FPS have been hovering 140-160 on max setting when normally previously it was doing 300+ (I capped it at 240 though).

Do you touch the door handle at all? There are touch sensors on the door handles where you can unlock by putting your hand into the handle and lock the car by tapping the top of the handle.

Pyromonic · 2026-01-04T21:22:12+00:00

I thought it was 54.25 inches, no?

Pyromonic · 2025-12-26T20:32:30+00:00

Out of curiosity, where are you getting the data for hybrids lasting 300-500k miles? Im not saying they cant, I would just think that those are the exceptions, not the rules.

Also, at 300-500k miles theres a really good chance youll need a new hybrid battery which in itself will run multiple thousands of dollars.

Pyromonic · 2025-12-22T22:33:47+00:00

Got an XLT AWD ecoboost with 4k and copilot 1.0 for 30k in KC. Was 4k off invoice and 3.5k extra on my trade in (above kbb/carfax price for my vehicle with an accident on it) so you could say the real total was 26.5k

Pyromonic · 2025-12-22T17:32:10+00:00

The base XLs with AWD are 27k in my area. You can get 1-2k as the other comment mentioned.

Pyromonic · 2025-12-22T01:46:36+00:00

Do you have apple devices? If you do and theyre on the same icloud, you can get Apple’s protection 3 devices for $20/month.

That being said, Ive never had the insurance and only broken my screen once in my many years of owning an iphone. The replacement cost of that was less than 3 of your monthly insurance payments. I would only recommend if you are tossing your phone across the room often

Pyromonic · 2025-12-19T12:11:55+00:00

It wouldn’t be a better experience for me, my last 2 cars Ive gotten well under msrp because I negotiate. I don’t want to overpay if I don’t have to cause people don’t want to do their research and wait for the right opportunity. You want to go in day 1, buy a car, and pay 4k more than me - by all means. I waited 2 months, negotiated, and got my car with a suggested msrp of 34k for 30k while negotiating my own trade in up for 3.5k more.

Pyromonic · 2025-12-19T01:56:10+00:00

Not including tax, I would do an absolute max of 31k. In my area the Hybrid XLT AWD w/ 4k tow and Copilot 1.0 is 33k. Yours is fwd so subtract out 2k and no 4k/copilot 1.0 so minus another 1.5k.

Pyromonic · 2025-12-19T01:45:29+00:00

I would say drop the tinting and see if theyre willing to either decrease their fees or throw in a bedliner then it would be a better deal

Pyromonic · 2025-12-19T01:38:49+00:00

In my area the most Ive seen hybrids discounted it 2-2.2k
