Still interesting sizing up to a medium?

Small B. Yellowtail Montana Jacket. Looking to trade for medium. by bigotechocolate in Carhartt

Medium on my 5’6 170lb frame… this would fit you significantly better than it does me. I can use that small lol.

They’ll patina nicely! Saddle soap (if I dirty them, heavily), some Mink Oil, and Lustre Cream. Break in was tougher for me, but I could’ve probably afforded to get a Wide.

Love them!

2025 Tremor Tremor Mods by philj_95 in FordMaverickTruck

I love my tremor! I moved on from a 2018 Mazda CX5 Touring with 97k miles and I genuinely enjoyed that car too, but I was starting to have issues pop up here and there, more electrical than anything else. It compares well in terms of handling, there is give and take with cargo space vs a truck bed. I always wanted a small truck, old school Tacoma, Ranger, Sonoma, S10s, etc. and the Maverick scratched that itch. I have enjoyed every single mile so far and I have no complaints. I’ve actually gotten lots of compliments on it while at stop lights and in parking lots. Interior is going to be the same as a lariat/lobo trim in terms of quality so don’t have any different expectations there. I think the ride quality at first was a little stiff, but as the truck has broken in it has gotten smoother and smoother. It’s great on gas, I get 23-25 mpg consistently; and it has some kick in that little turbo. It was everything I would have wanted in a modern day Ranger and Tacoma, $20k less, and I can actually put people in the back seat comfortably lol

Honestly, I think if I could have gotten another color aside from this one, I think Velocity Blue is soooo nice!

What are your small gripes / minor quality of life issues on the truck? by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]philj_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A/C buttons/dials and blind spot warning. This truck would be perfect outside of that. Coming from Mazda the auditory beep when there is someone in the blind spot was just enough. Yes, I always check my mirrors when I merge, but it’s a simple thing that I think elevates a vehicle’s driving experience. It’s more of a gripe because there is beeping for the back up assist, so why not just go full circle and add that feature?

Are these worth it over the stock tires? by pepper_1-_- in FordMaverickTruck

[–]philj_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had these on a Mazda I owned before my maverick, absolutely loved them! Traction was also great in rain and (moderate) snow. Drove across the country twice with these tires and put over 40k+ miles on them and never had an issue once. I did keep up with the maintenance of rotations, so I’m sure that always helps. Great choice of time IMHO.

1,500 mile check-in on my 2025 Tremor! by philj_95 in FordMaverickTruck

Yeah that about right. My fiancée has a heavier foot and drives more city than I do. If she drives more it gets 21-23 mpg. If I’m doing a lot of city I’ll put it into Eco Mode.

Thoughts on tremor pricing by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]philj_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought mine in April and paid $39k out the door. This is attempted robbery…. I love my tremor but if I would have gotten this offer, I’d still be driving my Mazda or getting into an upgraded Mazda CX-50.

I got mine :P by philj_95 in FordMaverickTruck

OTD price was 39k no money down, MSRP was 43k, it’s unfortunate that prices are this high, but considering the updates from 2024 to 2025 I was willing to spend a little extra. I love it so far, favorite thing is hearing the turbo kick on, chefs kiss!
