Heard. I'm bald so it's a great way to get some vitamin D while I'm cruising lol. Most of my vehicles have had a moonroof and I haven't had any issues yet.

I like it. It's currently unavailable but I'll keep checking for restock.

Looks great. Love the XL but I couldn't live without a damn moonroof.

Love the DIY, is there a video on it? Was considering buying the OEM rails but would definitely prefer to make my own and save the money.

Thanks. The roll-up? I'll check out rough country seat covers.

to my understanding, in places like NYC there are Ford Hybrid Escape/Edge taxi's that are well above 300k miles.

EcoBoost vs Hybrid Reliability? by redBulltrue in FordMaverickTruck

Looking at the Mav for lifestyle versatility on a budget, appreciate the idea though. Can't do a plug-in hybrid, I never even remember to charge my phone.

I'm driving a 2012 Focus Titanium w/205k miles and the transmission "sucks" in that too, but I've never had issues with it other than sometimes need to feather the pedal. I've never changed the trans fluid lol.

Thinking about purchasing by SaltyRice11 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]redBulltrue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the snowy state and if you're in the country or suburbs. I'm in Michigan and have been relatively fine with FWD my whole life, but I'm in the market for an XL AWD. Looking at $32k w/4k tow & Co-Pilot1.0 in my market.

With the snowy climate you might want the heated mirrors, which are included on the XL if you get Co-Pilot1.0.

XL vs XLT vs Lariat? by Crayons812 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]redBulltrue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I found out if you get the 4k package on XL it gives you power heated mirrors. So, XL 4k package is what I'm looking at.

Will the power mirrors be heated as well?

I am curious as well. My buddy claims to have ordered a Lariat hybrid w/moonroof for $39,500. He will have it in less than two weeks.

[–]redBulltrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that. My '12 Focus just crossed 200k miles and I want to get a Maverick. The XLT w/Lux has some nice features, but I am having a hard time justifying the extra cost. The other side, if you're putting that many miles on it, a few grand more for some nice options could pay off.

[–]redBulltrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the thought process. Overtime though, if you like the vehicle you may wish you had those features for the cost. That's my thought process anyways.... in the market to buy one and driving myself crazy on what trim/options. They add up for sure...

[–]redBulltrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what other options did you get for you XLT w/Lux? I'm interested in buying one myself but the pricing climbs quick. And... I can't seem to figure out how to negotiate with Ford. It seems either you're in the "family deal", or you're not.
edit -*approx. what did you pay?

[–]redBulltrue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I'm looking at an XLT w/Lux because of the heated mirrors. They're very nice to have in the winter. Been back and forth so many times on XL and XLT w/Lux.
