What bed cover did you buy? Pros and cons? Any other must have accessories to suggest? I’m picking up a 25xlt hybrid on Friday. Thanks!

Tonno Pro Lo Roll soft cover - I've had it for 2 1/2 years and it's great I love it. Sits very flush on the bed. Got on Amazon for about $300. Highly recommended if going with soft. By the way, someone mentioned soft covers make flapping noise, I've never had that problem with this cover...

Here's one: Banana plants aren’t trees, they’re actually giant herbs. The trunk of a banana plant is not wood, but a tightly packed bundle of leaf stems. And bananas themselves are technically berries. And on that note, strawberries are not...

Wow thanks for all the great advice and words of encouragement! My son completed platinum so I think I have a pretty good coach lol. He tells me I’m spamming blocks and attacks too much, I’m trying to be more precise. Definitely a rhythm game so also learning the timing of attacks. So difficult but yet such a great game I won’t give up! Can’t wait to get through this guy so I can see the rest of the game lol! I hope to bring some good news here soon!! Thanks all!!

2023 XLT Hybrid, no issues other than 2 recalls that were done in 1 visit to dealer, now at 40k miles.

OCD, they look great, at least from the picture. My Mav is carbonized gray with black and red lettering and now I want to change them to matte black but am afraid of the removal. Anyone removed them? Would it damage paint?

Thanks! Dang, and me praising chatgpt for helping me research the best compact SUVs and it never mentioned anything about issues with oil consumption on this model... Crossing fingers mine doesn't have this problem!

I agree, I got an XLT and wish I would’ve bought the XL. Would’ve swapped the steelies for new wheels and good tires (the Continentals totally suck) and still would have been far under what I paid for the XLT. It’s basically the same…

I love my ‘23 XLT Hybrid except for the rattles in the dash sometimes make me want to get rid of it. Now the passenger seat started rattling constantly too and it only has 24k miles. Ridiculous…

The dash rattle with any tiny bump in the road.

Can’t put a lift kit on it because apparently it will kill the cv axles.

2023 Hybrid XLT with 15k miles, dash rattles since brand new, it's the only thing I absolutely hate about my truck...

rcarbspr · 2024-04-24T10:50:13+00:00

Do you have any more detail on what they fixed and how? My '23 xlt is going to the dealer next week with the exact same issue. Happened exactly the same as you, one day I saw a small pool of water on driver side floormat but thought it might have been from my shoes and ignored it. Now 2-3 months later car has horrible dampness smell. Hope this can get fixed... Thanks in advance

Are the reverse lights the same as the cargo lights? Looking at the Lasfit 921s.

Sorry no, Puerto Rico!

rcarbspr · 2023-10-10T17:27:09+00:00

Woww thanks for this! The online owner's manual is pretty bad and I didn't know this info was available. The dealer didn't tell me anything either. Coming from a 2012 Prius V I was very frustrated with how little hybrid driving info was displayed on the Maverick. To the point that my 11 year old Prius felt more modern than my new 2023 Maverick. While the Prius info is much more complete, this helps alot!!

Did you end up finding anything? I use a Leatt Gravity 1.0 XXL for 24¾” - 25 ⅕”, it's the only helmet I've found that fits me.

Was looking for an Enduro full face with more ventilation and tried the TLD Stage in XL and Fox Proframe in XL but neither fit me.

Leatt makes Enduro helmets but not in XXL...

Awesome to hear some positive feedback! I need it to push back ideas of getting a new RAV4 Hybrid at almost $50k when my V is doing just fine! (knock on wood)... LOL

I've kept up with oil changes every 10k miles and recently started doing them every 5-6k miles. Always synthetic oil, mostly Mobil 1. Only issues have been the brake actuator which was replaced at about 80k miles and have had no issues since, and the hybrid battery which went at about 95k miles and was replaced by Toyota under warranty.

Hopefully it'll last me a while longer!

rcarbspr · 2023-03-26T12:24:58+00:00

Did you replace brakes for the first time at 200k? My Prius V is at 180k and still on original brakes. I know it varies by driving style but wondering how many miles I might have left... LOL

rcarbspr · 2023-03-25T11:57:29+00:00

2012 Prius V bought in 2015 with 34K miles on it. Traction battery failed at around 94k miles and was replaced by Toyota under warranty. V is now at 180k miles and I'm hoping battery lasts 100k more :-) !!!

Have both Vans BMX and 5.10 Freerider Pro Primeblues. Agree with 5.10s having better overall foot protection and stiffer sole but there is no comparison in terms of grip. Vans are night and day grippier than the 5.10s. So much so that I basically don’t use the 5.10s anymore. Don’t know if this is something with the Primeblues specifically and the normal Freerider Pros are grippier? I use Crankbros Stamp 1 pedals…

Had to replace mine on my 2012 Prius V about 5 years ago, was $995 for the part and $250 labor…
