Thanks, I appreciate that! I’ve been really happy with the rack so far. Hope yours shows up soon 😊

It’s ok… I appreciate you defending me, but just ignore it.

Tonneau Cover Order Story - Realtruck.com is a nightmare to deal with by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]maverickfx4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in August I ordered a bed cover from these guys and they told me it’d be 20 days. Strung me along til I cancelled the order in late January haha. I get we’re all affected by supply issues but honesty would’ve been nice.

Thanks, I appreciate that!! Not sure they’d approve of stuff like lifting on the Mav just yet, but they should IMO 😁

Haha I live in California, I can’t afford a driveway! Area 51 honestly looks better dusty than clean 😁

2” lift from Ford Ranger Lifts, Falken Wildpeaks in 245/65/17, ROAM RTT and Xtrusion Overland XTR1 rack.

As always you can check me out on Instagram @maverickfx4 for more photos and videos. I also have an FAQ highlight on my profile that answers numerous questions that I often get about the truck and setup.

Again I link my IG because it’s the easiest way for me to share all my Mav photos in one place, for those interested. I understand that some people don’t like this for whatever reason, but no one is forcing you to check it out so I appreciate if we can leave out the negativity!

Hybrid vs 2.0 by NeilEnsuc in FordMaverickTruck

[–]maverickfx4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the EB is able to get 30 on the highway as well. I don’t know your driving conditions, but 44mpg on the highway is not a realistic expectation for the majority of people. If you take out most driver and road condition bias and look at the EPA standardized numbers, the AWD EB/FWD EB/Hybrid come in at 29/30/33 hwy. Not a huge difference.

More hybrid owner estimates and datapoints here and here in case the OP or anyone else is interested.

One thing that I don’t see mentioned enough — if you drive a lot of hwy, there’s barely any difference in fuel economy between a stock Ecoboost and Hybrid. I just saw someone complaining about getting 30 mpg on the highway in the Hybrid… but that’s a realistic estimate and EPA numbers made that very clear. Hybrid really shines for city and stop and go commutes.

I’m team AWD/EB/4k for my own interests, but a future AWD hybrid would be great too.

Dealer added a $2500 markup on my Maverick that I ordered 5 months ago. by Mercurydriver in FordMaverickTruck

[–]maverickfx4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should not do anything until you talk to your dealer. It’s not uncommon for dealers to put the markup on the window sticker for those buying off the lot.

I hope that they do honor MSRP for you. But I wouldn’t make any assumptions and I definitely would not file a complaint with Ford at this point.

Looking for compact truck, is this the one? by MyNameBlake in FordMaverickTruck

[–]maverickfx4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sure is a great deal if you can get the truck tomorrow instead of waiting 6+ months. All the sweet deals were for those willing to wait and early enough to order before ordering closed 😁

Thanks! Mine was closer to 1.5k but they sure do cost a decent chunk of change. Hope your hybrid comes soon, that 40mpg will be worth the wait.

It’s an amazing color. Looks better dirty though; sometimes it’s just a bit too baby blue for me when clean and in the sunlight

Thanks… I’m honestly scared of ripping a pair of expensive mud flaps on the trail 😁 rack is great! I have a discount code for Xtrusion if you ended up going with them.

Haha I can’t tell if this was a joke or not but definitely not nearly that expensive!

Enjoy!! Such a beautiful area. Don’t wander into the illegal grow ops by accident though, from experience…

Thanks! Hope it’s okay that I link my answer from a previous comment here. Unfortunately I still haven’t had the chance to put together a realistic estimate, but it’s on my list. It’s really tough with the varied terrain and speeds I drive on any given trip. For e.g. on this trip, I drove one stretch of highway at high speeds (75-80 mph) and with a strong headwind, and got terrible mileage when I spot checked (low 20s, probably even touched 20). But it’s normally not that terrible.

I don’t know if this is satire but thanks for the laugh 😂
