After only driving the Maverick a few hundred miles you captured the essence of the Maverick nicely. I have a XL AWD 2.O Turbo that is 3 months old. My experiences have been similar. I have watched many reviews and I am tiring of seeing people whine about how Ford cheaped out on this or that. I bought a 25K vehicle. I was never under the impression it was going to be like a vehicle in the 50K range……it is what it is. My payment is also not $600 a month either. Look forward to more of your content.
think about what you're saying... $50k truck... thats insane.. vehicle inflation has outpaced every other type of inflation and its not talked about except when you go to buy one.. you can't even buy used vehicles anymore without a 10 year old one asking its original sticker price.. its insane. A 25k truck should have everything you need and more and should be a top model not a budget one.
This is truly the ONLY video that has made me learn something about my Maverick that Ive never seen before. Literally every topic you brought up educated me. Haven’t been that impressed since I first saw this Mav on Doug Demeros channel
Probably the best review I have seen, I am very interested in this vehicle but holding out to see if Ford Upgrades the Hybrid to All Wheel drive. I know they can do it as the Escape comes available with that ability. Again, thank you for the video!
I didn't want to spend the additional $3000 for the AWD, which on other models as an add-on is usually only $1200-$1500. Maybe next time, but for the most part AWD in FL makes no sense.
Great video man really appreciate it, I like that you touched on things that most reviewers didn't cover, it's the small things that add up really and can even be deal breakers or must haves (like that volume speed compensation which is a feature that is great but randomly comes and goes on models). And good call on skipping the flex bed, we've heard the pitch so many times.
Ordered First edition 7/8/2021. In production now. Scheduled to be delivered 3/21/22. Watched 100s of Long McArthur video and they are good but this one is OUTSTANDING! Down to earth review with some answers. Appreciate the input and will be looking at the items mentioned. Keep up the good reviews.
Hi everybody! I have got my Maverick XLT AWD just a month ago. And I don't like Stop & Go fixtures, especially in the city. Every time, when I start the engine I have to turn off this option. Is anybody has an idea, on how to turn it off permanently?? Thanks.
I just received my FX4 and noticed the loud tire noise also, thanks to your tip about the tire pressure I let out 5lbs it apparently comes with 40 lbs. from the factory. Check out page 137 about the head rests, they're adjustable.
For sound deadening try Dynamat or similar , they are used on door panels of vans , probably work very good on that area behind the seat. You won’t have any squeaking foam either. One of the best reviews out there, a true user experience without all the gab
Great video, learned a lot. I got my base model in late January and love it. A couple of issues I noticed - NOISE! The exhaust pipe looks like they used a tin can, it has vibration written all over it. Sure enough, on acceleration it sounds like an outboard motor. To use the touch screen display needs a course in computer science. Nice call on the tire pressure I need to check mines. Yeah those brackets act like cymbals. Why don’t Ford hire you as advisor for improving new models. Thanks again. This truck is a game changer I hope the other mfgrs take a lesson.
Appreciate the honest review, and especially the fact that you think about and figure out what's causing certain issues you had, rather than just complaining about them! Looking forward to the Maverick I've got on order!
Thanks for the tip about the extra metal pieces that make noise. A piece of soft foam placed between that and the back wall would take the sound out of that immediately.
I love my Maverick.Got mine at Long Mac as well…My blue tooth disconnects a lot is my biggest complaint…I installed window deflectors & that cut a lot of wind noise down & they are really low profile.
Hi Trent, thanks for the comment. I had wondered if the air deflectors would reduce wind noise...glad to hear that they do. I will have to get some. Did you put them on all four windows and where did you purchase them? Thanks
Holy cow…I live in Maine. My story is so similar to yours. I too went to a Mike @ Long McArthur Ford after seeing Tim Bartz and his weekly Livestream. My Mike is affectionately called: Maverick Mike Mull. I loved the way the whole sales process took place with Mike, that my daughter and son bought Mavericks also. We ordered on July 14, 2021 and we flew in mid January to pickup our two trucks to drive them home back to Maine with a nice side trip through Branson , Missouri & Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Tennessee along the way. 2,300 miles total. XLT Hybrids both, we averaged 36 MPG all the way home even after hitting 80 MPH speeds in the plains of Kansas. Mine is still to be built because of the Luxury Package on my XLT model with the 360 CoPilot feature. (I’m retired and can use all the help electronically wise I can get). Loved your video.
Nice! My maverick is also ordered through long MacArthur ford and my salesman is Mike Mull. He has been great. Can’t wait to get my XLT luxury package with FX4 and tow package in Area 51.
Look up Dynamat sound deadening material. Take a Dremel tool with a cut off wheel and remove those useless brackets behind the back seat, then apply the dynamat to the back wall. If you need more do under the front carpet and up the firewall. Maybe those vents are to prevent blowing the front windshield out when slamming the door shut.
So if you're driving along and you're like "damn, my seat belt is stuck in the door. I'll just open it quick and get it - OHIEHR!:LK!!!FJK Instant parking gear?
Thank you for the best and most honest review on a Maverick. I have ordered mine and very excited to get it in the near future. Re: noise level, did you replace the tires that the truck came with? I'm pretty sure it will help lower the noise level a little. I drive the latest version of the Honda CR-V and noise level is terrible. I changed the tires to michelins and I noticed quite a bit of difference. Cheers.
To address a noise issue, I did see a video where on the XLT Ford leaves out the insulated panel between the front doors and the engine compartment. I have not looked at mine yet to see if his was just a one off or not but there are part#s for that panel. The video also showed him installing them. I just did a 3 hour trip in our Maverick and I have no issues with cabin noise. It' much quieter than our 2015 GMC Terrain was.
Great Video, im waiting on my XLT with FX4 and 4k tow in the exact same color. I do like how you touched on the back wall of the truck. One of the first things I will be doing is adding a sound deadening material to that wall also if you are looking for something to put between the wall and those brackets (they are primarily for the upgraded sound system and power rear window options i think) try putting a dense foam block in between the bracket and the wall. That will cut that vibration and noise out. Hopefully mine shows up soon as i got stuck in the chip shortage. Its parked in a lot in Mexico waiting for a computer lol
Nice video. I really like that gray color. The wheels look good with that color. I’ve been searching for a Maverick and they are hard to find. When you do, dealers are marking them up.
That markup sucks, but take heart. Ford just recently (last couple of days) sent a letter to all Ford dealerships stating that they need to knock off the price gouging because they're starting to see loyal customers go to other brands that aren't doing that nonsense. Plus, the supply chain debacle is ever so slowly getting back on track.
I was told by the dealership I ordered my maverick from that if you order the truck they can't charge additional dealer mark-up but if you refuse it they are free to tack on additional mark-up. When I ordered mine they had one in the showroom for people to see posted with $9000. Mark-up and they would not sell it until they had another one to put in the showroom. Also they cannot order any for stock but Ford may at times offer a truck or 2 for their stock.
I'm still waiting on mine here in Canada but I've also been thinking about how to quiet the maverick up a bit... I'm thinking about using the same type of sound proofing that I've used in the engine room of my boat. It's got a foil covering over foam on both sides of a layer of rubber. It's expensive but really does work even for an old diesel engine. I'm thinking I'd like to do the hood and behind the seat. Maybe even parts of the firewall depending on room and clearance. Will wait and see. Thanks for the honest video. I'll check my tire pressure on day 1 now😁
Hi Rocko, we think alike. I just received some Dynamat hood liner that I ordered. Will see if it reduces engine noise on acceleration. The EcoBoost engine is extremely quiet at Idle, and you don't really hear any engine noise at highway speeds...just on acceleration in town. I plan to do some videos on the outcome. Good luck with your Maverick order.
@@Mac-oh5fw will check out that brand of hood liner. Will watch any videos you make. I'm getting (eventually) the hybrid version but I do know that this is one of the least soundproofed vehicles out there. I think it'll make a big difference in comfort of long distance trips. I'm hoping to drive across Canada in the next few years.
Nice obverzatoin about the source of NOISE from the Back Seat!! Adding some insulation should help and I agree with the stupid brackets to be on there when they serve NO purpose.
I could be wrong about say, the lariat trim, but I don't think the Maverick comes with any serious sound deadening material at all. Not in the doors, back of the cab, or the hood.
Hi Samantha, I attribute the terrible ride to overinflated tires and it was a terrible ride. Once the tire pressure was corrected the ride was good. Do you have the AWD? They have an independent rear suspension vs the solid rear axle on the front wheel drive models. I've been curious if there is a ride difference between the two models. Thanks
I noticed the tire pressure was over-inflated on my truck also. 44 psi. Took it down to 35 psi. If you have the truck serviced at a Ford dealership they will inflate them back to 42 psi. Had that happen twice now, very annoying.
Pretty sure your 40+ tire psi was set that high for shipment from factory to dealership…..normally the psi is lowered a bit during dealer PDI (pre delivery inspection), tech probably missed it at inspection
sound deadening mats or coating will quiet the noise. Addition of carpeting will help. Use of soft materials are used to reduce noise in aircraft and will work in vehicles too. I expect to receive my hybrid in late july after ordering it in september. Same color and package as yours.
Thank You for a Great video. I picked up my XL Eco about 25 days ago. Size-wise very similar to my Rangers of the past, but a lot more horsepower. (250hp to my Ranger's 186hp). The standard equipment in the XL, would have been extras in my previous trucks. Best of All, my payments were low, I paid cash!! 😁
You hit a few great points. Factory tire pressure was 44 lbs on all tires. I thought the dealership should adjust pressure during the pre delivery prep. Also my blind spot monitors and lane assist was not functional upon delivery of my Maverick. Trucks been in the dealership for 7 days awaiting a new Blind Spot module( hope that’s the issue). Trucks been in the service center one day after I purchased it, and sits there awaiting part. FYI. Thanks for your insight and video.
Hi Tony, I put just enough money down that I did not feel the need for gap insurance. I didn't purchase an extended warranty...I generally do not buy extended warranties. I will see if I have any problems with the Maverick during the base warranty period. You can purchase an extended warranty through Ford at a later date as long as the vehicle is still in the standard warranty period. If I was going to buy an extended warranty, it would be through Ford. If you purchase gap insurance, make sure to get it from a different insurance carrier than you have your regular auto insurance with.
Thank you for your information. I didn't know about the drive to park feature when the door opens. I have problems with the cross traffic alert too. The dealer had to do a update to fix it. There were other electrical issues too, the whole truck (electrically) locked up. Lucky me I took it to the dealer and it failed while checking it in. Seems the 12 volt battery was not charging up correctly even though it shows 13.1 volts. Also had 'shutdown' errors. I should get my Lariat back tomorrow or Wednesday. I got 546 miles on a tank during a road trip last month. It is a fantastic truck, except for the current glitch of course...
@@Mac-oh5fw I felt the suspension was bumpy and floaty especially when cornering. You could say it was a harsh ride but the steering felt too light. That’s what made me check. It’s now sticking better to the ground but the stock thin Pirellis are not optimal.
Tire pressure to low heats them up can cause a blow out. Run 35ish and that's about it. I know some people with bigger tires had problems with the blind spot. Me I had the front seat bunch up at 2000km had the stereo randomly reboot and crash. The front window squeeks like crazy. Had the lights in the dash randomly blink on and dim down randomly. Had trailer sway control randomly activate and steer on the highway for no reason with no trailer at all on. Turned it off and it randomly reactivated in the menu
The codes for the doors etc…..is that universal and anyone can put them in to open them? I may have missed something on that I’m sure but that’s not a theft deterrent at all lol. I loved the review and also would like to know about s as my mouse reduction. Mi Mav is scheduled to be built tomorrow!!! Can’t wait. Again excellent review. Look forward to more.
Got my maverick XLT decked out and I’m hyped. AWD, Lux Package, Tow And Off-road Package, and Ford 360. I’m very excited! Big step up from my current car! I just really wish they made the hybrid in AWD the way gas prices are right now, but AWD is a deal breaker with how much snow I get where I live.
I have an xlt. With awd 4 k tow package 360 copilot ..i also got the ford roll up cover for the back.im also got the carbonized gray with the black ford wheels..they are really nice.well I installed a light bar on it .i had to attach it to the top lip on the bumper..it wouldn't sit flat on the truck because of the sheet metal wraps around the corners..i used the points ford gives you and bought seat covers and deflector for hood.im going in tommorro for a new windshield .i took a rock right under.my passenger windshield wiper.i had it fixed but a week later it took off and headed out about a foot. 840 dollars installed because of all the safety stuff in the window and reprogramming.they also get to take car of my dash cams.they don't know that yet.love the truck.order all new led lights for it..i installed red stencils in back where it sez maverick.it looks great.it breaks up the all gray affect.oh yea mud flaps are a must.they help a lot.i got them thru ford also.i picked up the special floor mats there nice .50 dollars each is hard to take .they probably cost. 5 dollars to make if that., but its saves the carpet.
You wanted to quiet your Maverick. Go to the Maverick Truck Club site and look for the thread by the guy who's added sound deadening material to his Maverick.
Hi Jamie, I purchased the tonneau cover at Autoanything.com. Here's the link www.autoanything.com/tonneau-covers/truxedo-prox15-soft-rolling-tonneau-cover This same cover is available through quite a few good online sites.
Thanks for the tips ! I also orderd mine out of state . Illinois was not a Great purchase state ! I'll pick my black xlt hybrid up from Michigan next week . Can't wait ! Carbon Grey looks Awesome also 👍
Can I ask how much over MSRP did you pay? I just reached out to this dealership and the email I got back said if they get one in it will be 5k over MSRP if XL or XLT. 7.5k over of Lariat or hybrid. Screw that!
Hi Steve, all I can say is wow...that's bad. I actually paid $200 under MSRP when I ordered my Maverick last September. Long McArthur took $200 off MSRP to help offset their $299 documentation fee. I try not to pay more than $75 in documentation fees. It sucks that Dealerships are doing this to their customers.
Yes, I knew Long McArthur was marking up Mavericks on the lot..sadly many dealers are doing this. I had no idea they had increased their markup to this extreme level. If you can shop different dealers you may find one with lower or no markup. It seems they are getting hard to find.
Great video! We picked our Maverick with the Lariet package up last week and really really like it! Last year when we ordered it Ford had a $1000 rebate and when we went to sign the paperwork the rebate didn’t exist..
I also got my XLT from Long McArthur and delt with Mike Lett. They are the most honest straight forward dealership I have ever encountered. They were able to drop ship mine directly from the factory to my local dealer. My title and tag was waiting for me when I picked it up and it was a seamless transaction. Needless to say the sales people were not thrilled at my local dealer but the vehicle was delivered in good order. I cannot say enough about Long McArthur Ford. To me they are the best Ford dealership in the country and have won me as a customer for life.
Check out some automotive sound deadening material. It's basically a peel and stick. You can cut it to shape and apply it wherever you see fit. ...can be a little pricy but well worth it.
My cross traffic alert is intermittent at best. I will address it at first service. My tires were over 40lb, when I took delivery as well. I love my truck.
I noticed my tires were all 45psi, after reading the comment section about being over inflated to prevent flat spots, it makes sence.. sitting at 35 psi now
Excellent review. Brought up some things that I haven't seen and trust me I've seen a lot of reviews. I own a '20 F150 XL, short bed/reg cab and even though it's an inexpensive truck it came with laminated windows for sound insulation. At one point I saw that it was only available on the Maverick's Lariat or maybe deluxe package. Ordered a XLT hybrid 10/15. Delivery, mid/late summer? Ford has the other manufacturers playing catch up on this segment
Hi Steve, when I was considering the different trim levels, I did see the laminated front window on the Lariat trim level and I think you're right that it was with the luxury package. The noise level isn't terrible, but I have the bug to try to make it quieter. Will post video on details. Good luck with your Maverick order...this is a great truck. Thanks
@@Mac-oh5fw I was really surprised at how quiet my F150 is considering it's a XL. We're talking base model, rubber floor mat. Surprisingly it did come with cruise, power windows (one touch up/down), mirrors
Great video and points made you don't hear on the big corporate type reviews. I do like that low profile bed cover. I have one very similar to this on order but I also opted for the luxury package....other than that its essentially the same spec as yours in Alto Blue.
After only driving the Maverick a few hundred miles you captured the essence of the Maverick nicely. I have a XL AWD 2.O Turbo that is 3 months old. My experiences have been similar. I have watched many reviews and I am tiring of seeing people whine about how Ford cheaped out on this or that. I bought a 25K vehicle. I was never under the impression it was going to be like a vehicle in the 50K range……it is what it is. My payment is also not $600 a month either. Look forward to more of your content.
I got the a XL AWD too, how much are your payments? How much did you put down?

A 25k truck should have everything you need and more and should be a top model not a budget one.
I love my maverick..27.500 +TAX. XLT. With luxury package +360 package + moonroof+ rear sliding window. And the best it does around 38 mile per gallon
This is truly the ONLY video that has made me learn something about my Maverick that Ive never seen before. Literally every topic you brought up educated me. Haven’t been that impressed since I first saw this Mav on Doug Demeros channel
Probably the best review I have seen, I am very interested in this vehicle but holding out to see if Ford Upgrades the Hybrid to All Wheel drive. I know they can do it as the Escape comes available with that ability. Again, thank you for the video!
I’m 38yo, right?!? Ultra practical reviews are hard to come by.
I’m sure they will but not till year 4-5 when major changes come to a model line. For now Will be just little stuff, color, screen etc…
AWD would be great. I'd be even more excited if Ford gave the Maverick hybrid the ability to power a house like the F150 can.
I didn't want to spend the additional $3000 for the AWD, which on other models as an add-on is usually only $1200-$1500. Maybe next time, but for the most part AWD in FL makes no sense.
They will not make a awd hybrid. Ever.

The tips about buying through dealers that appreciate your business, time, and money is key. Good dealers should be celebrated.

Hi Trent, thanks for the comment. I had wondered if the air deflectors would reduce wind noise...glad to hear that they do. I will have to get some. Did you put them on all four windows and where did you purchase them? Thanks
I also think the Maverick is a great truck.
Yes I did put them on all 4.These stay low profile & dont bubble out away from the windows…Really like the way they look as well.
put a foam ball behind those flanges, like a clown nose. or maybe some of that Dynamat along the whole wall.

Nice! My maverick is also ordered through long MacArthur ford and my salesman is Mike Mull. He has been great. Can’t wait to get my XLT luxury package with FX4 and tow package in Area 51.
Did you put shag carpeting on the floor in the front???
Good review, thanks! I bought my hybrid Maverick at Long McArthur also, had it shipped, and great service!
I had a 2016 Tacoma that had an ocarina and tuba sounds! Ordered a Mav XL EB AWD! Nice no nonsense overview!
Thanks for a great review, full of useful information, not a second waisted.

Hey Kingfisher, I like that comment...Thanks
@@Mac-oh5fw Right on. So does it do that? go into park when the door is opened, even if moving forward?
I want to see the parking space line... whoops, I'm in park!
Get some sound deadner material and put it over that bare metal. It will have your cab sounding like a Lexus
Excellent review! Detailed and informative. Well done… your truck looks great in gray.
Thank you for the best and most honest review on a Maverick. I have ordered mine and very excited to get it in the near future.

I could be wrong about say, the lariat trim, but I don't think the Maverick comes with any serious sound deadening material at all. Not in the doors, back of the cab, or the hood.
Great video. You covered what most other Maverick review videos don't show.
Put some sound deadening on the back wall , doors. Underbody protection. All will help with sound.
That bracket on the passenger side is for the B&O Amplifier and the driver side bracket is for the power sliding rear window motor.
Thanks...good info.
GTK thx!
great video mac, looking into getting one of these myself your video is honest and straight i appreciate it
The carbonized grey looks great with the grey wheels. Great review. Ordering mine in August
Very good video! Check the door placard for tire pressure? What kind of tires on truck and what model?
They sell sound deadening at places like Crutchfield, etc. Just don't stick it over any vents.
Mac, My order date was Aug 11? I and my Lady are just waiting!? Tom & Ruthie.
Long MacArthur guys rock! Tim hsa put a great team together and they deserve ALL the out of state biz they are getting!
Worst Riding Vehicle... EVER? Wow. I completely disagree.
Hi Samantha, I attribute the terrible ride to overinflated tires and it was a terrible ride. Once the tire pressure was corrected the ride was good. Do you have the AWD? They have an independent rear suspension vs the solid rear axle on the front wheel drive models. I've been curious if there is a ride difference between the two models. Thanks
@@Mac-oh5fw I don’t I have the Hybrid model. Same color. Congrats on getting one! They are hard to find!!
To be honest the $40k+ Tacoma is the wirst riding vehicle. I doubt the maverick is even close
My AWD Maverick is the smoothest vehicle I've ever driven.
Buy some foam sheets to put between the rear seat and panel. Any place you can put foam is the same trick that Lincoln uses.
You can add sound deadening material to the metal pieces to reduce the vibrations.
Great info in this video. Hoping to get into a Maverick when the market isn’t insane
I noticed the tire pressure was over-inflated on my truck also. 44 psi. Took it down to 35 psi. If you have the truck serviced at a Ford dealership they will inflate them back to 42 psi. Had that happen twice now, very annoying.
Hi Drew, with your tires overinflated, did your Maverick have a hard, rough ride???
Nice video thanks, and that truck is beautiful!
I bough t mine a few days ago , you did a great job , very honest review , thank you !
Nice truck, nice review. How's she holding up?
Pretty sure your 40+ tire psi was set that high for shipment from factory to dealership…..normally the psi is lowered a bit during dealer PDI (pre delivery inspection), tech probably missed it at inspection
Thanks Robert, that makes sense.
no grab handle for the driver because he supposed to have both hands on the steering wheel.
There is usually no grab handle on the driver's side.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
I just got my basic XL last week. Love it so far.
Great review! Really authentic
Great presentation. Thank you.
sound deadening mats or coating will quiet the noise. Addition of carpeting will help. Use of soft materials are used to reduce noise in aircraft and will work in vehicles too. I expect to receive my hybrid in late july after ordering it in september. Same color and package as yours.
It's a beautiful truck.
Thank You for a Great video.
I picked up my XL Eco about 25 days ago. Size-wise very similar to my Rangers of the past, but a lot more horsepower. (250hp to my Ranger's 186hp).
The standard equipment in the XL, would have been extras in my previous trucks. Best of All, my payments were low, I paid cash!! 😁
You hit a few great points. Factory tire pressure was 44 lbs on all tires. I thought the dealership should adjust pressure during the pre delivery prep. Also my blind spot monitors and lane assist was not functional upon delivery of my Maverick. Trucks been in the dealership for 7 days awaiting a new Blind Spot module( hope that’s the issue). Trucks been in the service center one day after I purchased it, and sits there awaiting part. FYI. Thanks for your insight and video.
Great video have you purchased extended warranty or Gap insurance or anything else at finance office
Hi Tony, I put just enough money down that I did not feel the need for gap insurance. I didn't purchase an extended warranty...I generally do not buy extended warranties. I will see if I have any problems with the Maverick during the base warranty period. You can purchase an extended warranty through Ford at a later date as long as the vehicle is still in the standard warranty period. If I was going to buy an extended warranty, it would be through Ford. If you purchase gap insurance, make sure to get it from a different insurance carrier than you have your regular auto insurance with.
Thank you for your information. I didn't know about the drive to park feature when the door opens. I have problems with the cross traffic alert too. The dealer had to do a update to fix it. There were other electrical issues too, the whole truck (electrically) locked up. Lucky me I took it to the dealer and it failed while checking it in. Seems the 12 volt battery was not charging up correctly even though it shows 13.1 volts. Also had 'shutdown' errors. I should get my Lariat back tomorrow or Wednesday. I got 546 miles on a tank during a road trip last month. It is a fantastic truck, except for the current glitch of course...
Spot on review with good tips. My tires on the Mav were also overinflated by 10 pds @tire. I’m keeping an eye too on oil consumption. So far so good.
Hi Ricardo, did you Maverick ride rough and hard with overinflated tires??? Thanks
@@Mac-oh5fw I felt the suspension was bumpy and floaty especially when cornering. You could say it was a harsh ride but the steering felt too light. That’s what made me check. It’s now sticking better to the ground but the stock thin Pirellis are not optimal.
Tire pressure to low heats them up can cause a blow out. Run 35ish and that's about it. I know some people with bigger tires had problems with the blind spot. Me I had the front seat bunch up at 2000km had the stereo randomly reboot and crash. The front window squeeks like crazy. Had the lights in the dash randomly blink on and dim down randomly. Had trailer sway control randomly activate and steer on the highway for no reason with no trailer at all on. Turned it off and it randomly reactivated in the menu
Great video information sir.
The codes for the doors etc…..is that universal and anyone can put them in to open them? I may have missed something on that I’m sure but that’s not a theft deterrent at all lol.
I loved the review and also would like to know about s as my mouse reduction. Mi Mav is scheduled to be built tomorrow!!! Can’t wait. Again excellent review. Look forward to more.
Got my maverick XLT decked out and I’m hyped. AWD, Lux Package, Tow And Off-road Package, and Ford 360. I’m very excited! Big step up from my current car! I just really wish they made the hybrid in AWD the way gas prices are right now, but AWD is a deal breaker with how much snow I get where I live.
I have an xlt. With awd 4 k tow package 360 copilot ..i also got the ford roll up cover for the back.im also got the carbonized gray with the black ford wheels..they are really nice.well I installed a light bar on it .i had to attach it to the top lip on the bumper..it wouldn't sit flat on the truck because of the sheet metal wraps around the corners..i used the points ford gives you and bought seat covers and deflector for hood.im going in tommorro for a new windshield .i took a rock right under.my passenger windshield wiper.i had it fixed but a week later it took off and headed out about a foot. 840 dollars installed because of all the safety stuff in the window and reprogramming.they also get to take car of my dash cams.they don't know that yet.love the truck.order all new led lights for it..i installed red stencils in back where it sez maverick.it looks great.it breaks up the all gray affect.oh yea mud flaps are a must.they help a lot.i got them thru ford also.i picked up the special floor mats there nice .50 dollars each is hard to take .they probably cost. 5 dollars to make if that., but its saves the carpet.
You wanted to quiet your Maverick. Go to the Maverick Truck Club site and look for the thread by the guy who's added sound deadening material to his Maverick.
do you have a link for the bed cover?
Hi Jamie, I purchased the tonneau cover at Autoanything.com. Here's the link www.autoanything.com/tonneau-covers/truxedo-prox15-soft-rolling-tonneau-cover This same cover is available through quite a few good online sites.
@@Mac-oh5fw awesome! Thank you a ton!
Did you say it was front wheel drive I thought all the eco boost models were all wheel drive
It's optional
Great Video.
Thanks for the tips ! I also orderd mine out of state . Illinois was not a Great purchase state ! I'll pick my black xlt hybrid up from Michigan next week . Can't wait ! Carbon Grey looks Awesome also 👍
Can I ask how much over MSRP did you pay? I just reached out to this dealership and the email I got back said if they get one in it will be 5k over MSRP if XL or XLT. 7.5k over of Lariat or hybrid. Screw that!
Hi Steve, all I can say is wow...that's bad. I actually paid $200 under MSRP when I ordered my Maverick last September. Long McArthur took $200 off MSRP to help offset their $299 documentation fee. I try not to pay more than $75 in documentation fees. It sucks that Dealerships are doing this to their customers.
Just to be clear, it was Long McArthur who emailed me back saying 5k and 7.5k over MSRP.
Yes, I knew Long McArthur was marking up Mavericks on the lot..sadly many dealers are doing this. I had no idea they had increased their markup to this extreme level. If you can shop different dealers you may find one with lower or no markup. It seems they are getting hard to find.
i love this truck ,but for 5000.00 over i 'll just keeo fixing my 2010 nissian rouge for a year or two
Don't buy from a dealer that sells over MSRP!!! Theives...all
Buy Michelin Defenders at Costco. Around $500 installed. Quietest tires we ever had.
I just preordered that same color and model but hybrid. Looks nice, hopefully Ill have it next year
Thank you for posting this video. You actually ordered that truck the way I want mine just different color.
Duct tape simple fix.cover the vents with more thin cloth ,get sound deading stick on material. line the back wall
Great video, I’m waiting till the summer to order one from Long McArthur too. No hybrids are available right now. So I’ll just wait a bit.
Great video!
We picked our Maverick with the Lariet package up last week and really really like it!
Last year when we ordered it Ford had a $1000 rebate and when we went to sign the paperwork the rebate didn’t exist..
I also got my XLT from Long McArthur and delt with Mike Lett. They are the most honest straight forward dealership I have ever encountered. They were able to drop ship mine directly from the factory to my local dealer. My title and tag was waiting for me when I picked it up and it was a seamless transaction. Needless to say the sales people were not thrilled at my local dealer but the vehicle was delivered in good order. I cannot say enough about Long McArthur Ford. To me they are the best Ford dealership in the country and have won me as a customer for life.
Can you let us know what Ford says about glitches? Especially the safety problem.
Mine doesn't miss blind spot. You have 235 tires instead of 225 tires might not be programed to the tire size
Check out some automotive sound deadening material. It's basically a peel and stick. You can cut it to shape and apply it wherever you see fit. ...can be a little pricy but well worth it.
My cross traffic alert is intermittent at best. I will address it at first service. My tires were over 40lb, when I took delivery as well. I love my truck.
im 18 months away from ordering one. love these videos. You did a wonderful job
I noticed my tires were all 45psi, after reading the comment section about being over inflated to prevent flat spots, it makes sence.. sitting at 35 psi now
If you go to the Lariat trim, you get the sound deadening windshield. Find that helps a lot with the noise when i test drove a XLT and a Lariat
Excellent review. Brought up some things that I haven't seen and trust me I've seen a lot of reviews. I own a '20 F150 XL, short bed/reg cab and even though it's an inexpensive truck it came with laminated windows for sound insulation. At one point I saw that it was only available on the Maverick's Lariat or maybe deluxe package. Ordered a XLT hybrid 10/15. Delivery, mid/late summer? Ford has the other manufacturers playing catch up on this segment
Hi Steve, when I was considering the different trim levels, I did see the laminated front window on the Lariat trim level and I think you're right that it was with the luxury package. The noise level isn't terrible, but I have the bug to try to make it quieter. Will post video on details. Good luck with your Maverick order...this is a great truck. Thanks
@@Mac-oh5fw Looking forward to your solutions on quieting your stallion
@@Mac-oh5fw I was really surprised at how quiet my F150 is considering it's a XL. We're talking base model, rubber floor mat. Surprisingly it did come with cruise, power windows (one touch up/down), mirrors
Good video sir. 👍
Getting the off-road package also upgrades the suspension slightly whoosh should also help a little bud in noise reduction.
Good info and tips
Those brackets behind the seat are for the upgraded speaker package. Amp and larger speaker I believe.
Great video and points made you don't hear on the big corporate type reviews. I do like that low profile bed cover. I have one very similar to this on order but I also opted for the luxury package....other than that its essentially the same spec as yours in Alto Blue.
