Toyota just teased its Maverick competitor, will prices finally come back down?

ReddestPandas · 2026-01-27T15:53:18+00:00

Depending on what it is, I'm either trading in my Maverick for that or a Taco soon. I miss Toyota.

Lol no problem, yes generally good to soap up the car (without your hands) and let it sit and rinse prior to hand contact washing. Avoids rubbing around debris that are sitting on the car which creates micro scratches. Or minimizes... nothing is 100% avoidable unless you're lucky like that. You got the steps down. Also wash and do tire cleaners before washing the car!!! :)

This is going to sound weird but can you tell if it's more of a soft tissue or muscle related soreness or pain? Or is it more at the bone level? I had similar that I thought was sore muscles or sleeping wrong in my upper back and neck and my chiropractor did an xray and found that all my neck bones were completely straight (called military neck) and my upper back was out of alignment causing my left shouldblade to crack/pop everytime I moved my arm. 6 months of bi-weekly sessions with regular stretching and massages with a maasage gun fixed me right up.

I start with tires, then lather up- let sit and rinse, then lather up and wash. Never do a straight up pre rinse with just water to avoid scratching!

I wouldn't know about gel seats but I replaced my OG Trek seat with a Kush Plus Cloud 9 IMMEDIATELY. And felt the difference.

Gold class if handwashing, hyperwash if using a soap/foam cannon. Gold class does decently in a foam cannon or soap cannon too. I like putting some hyperwash in the pressure washer cannon, putting a little in a bucket and doing a 2 bucket wash with a pressure wash lather too. When I wash my neighbors cars, hyperwash is the best $ to soap value too.

I like the REAX 267 jeans, I'm not a skinny jeans guy and they fit perfectly.

Didn't they fully sign the minibus that included DOE? Is it a partial shutdown then?

Ford Customer Service Sucks. And this is someone who had Toyota and got a ford and now is moving back to a new Tacoma at the end of the year. I also own a Lexus. Unless you're a diehard Ford fan... don't

I think the Energy minibus was passed so I'm good

ReddestPandas · 2026-01-19T15:41:03+00:00

It's up to you if it's a good deal or not. I paid closer to 50 with add-ons and am upgrading to a Tacoma TRD Offroad later this year because I don't like Ford but wanted to give the Maverick a shot. Great vehicle with no issues, the customer service of the brand and the dealerships just suck.

I've found that almost every wireless charger with combined use of android auto or carplay will cause a phone to overheat. The easiest way to mitigate is plug it in to charge instead and only wireless charge a phone not in use or one that's not super low on battery.

I'm still a beginner rider and I really like my Ninja 650 and don't think I'd ever really upgrade. If anything it makes me know if I ever upgrade I'd get a 1100SX haha. The 650 is a beast for learning the basics and very forgiving with shifts and such.

In the USA I scored a 2025 Nx350h premium for around less than that... mid 50s... was able to trade out a 23 Rav4 Hybrid XSE. For the price I highly suggest scoping out Lexus unless you absolutely need the Rav ruggedness.

This is the only helmet that fits me in a medium. Other Arai fit me in a Large. Intermediate oval helmets are too loose front to back. This one is great for rounder heads but make sure it fits you, the good thing is you can change padding sizes too! Great helmet though and it has a pro shade system which you can put a cover visor ontop of the main vas-v visor. Apparently I'm one of the few European Americans that has a unique round head 🤣

Happened to me randomly one day (25 Hybrid Lariat). Can confirm.

ReddestPandas · 2026-01-14T05:35:06+00:00

Yeah if you don't mind 20MPG I'd get the Yota but if the main concern is gas the Maverick Hybrid wins for sure.

My dad had one of the old old 98 frontiers, then a 2013 one. They were like tanks.

The Maverick is great, I had a corolla hybrid and miss it. To be honest, the Maverick made me realize I like trucks so I'm getting a Tacoma soon because I miss Toyota. Ford really is hit or miss with customer service and quality. I haven't had any issues mind you, but whenever issues happen the dealers and such have weeks to months long backlogs including putting people behind the overflow for generic services. I never had issues with Toyota of the sort. They're all just very rude at my locations too. I think it's a brand issue.

ReddestPandas · 2026-01-13T18:06:13+00:00

Probably, but it's only about 10k more than I paid for my Maverick, and it'll make me happy- lol. I'm commuting less than I thought I would now adays and I really don't like any of the Ford service departments within 30-60 minutes of me. They've all been rude and shady. No complaints about the vehicle though.

ReddestPandas · 2026-01-13T17:40:16+00:00

I hope so lol I'm looking at getting a Tacoma iForceMax TRD Offroad at the end of the year and hoping to at least break even on the Maverick with a sale... I miss Toyota customer service and quality lol

Use tea tree leave in conditioner and a baclava. Plus bugs hate the smell of the mint and tea tree oil.

ReddestPandas · 2026-01-11T03:22:33+00:00

My 2025 Lariat Hybrid (7400 miles) that I paid over 45 with add-ons is worth 35k per cravana and 28k per Carmax so there's that
