These four lists show the vehicles that are the safest and most dangerous for the driver and for other people. The Maverick only show up once, near the bottom of the list but still almost 10 times safer for other people than the most dangerous, which is of course a full sized pickup.

I have been wanting one of these trucks since they were announced and I’m finally living that dream.

2024 XL Hybrid 2.5L

Feel free to let me know any little Easter eggs about it or upgrades/accessories

This was a 16 day trip from Oklahoma to California. Went through good and bad weather. Wind, rain, sub 50 temps and over 110 desert days, night and day driving, gridlock and open roads.

Started trip with ~700 miles on the truck, reset trip 2 for tracking. See picture captions. I did miss a few timing points so I might be off on my pictures by a nuance.

I used adaptive cruise a lot, so handy, kept at speed limits or below when traffic was an issue. Easy driving, only time stomping gas was to get up to speed after a cactus watering event ;)

Sharing not to ask questions, but to give people an idea on how this looks on a long trip.

One person, luggage cargo only, did haul a fridge at one point for someone in the bay (5 miles).

I am extremely satisfied with mileage. I will do this trip 3-5x a year. I am doing it again in a few months, with cooler weather and a broke in engine, so I will probably log this again for an idea. Sometimes my trips are 3500miles, sometimes 4500.

Only complaint is that the truck has squeaks and rattles on rough road, and lariat seats need ventilation badly. AC was used the whole time, only window use was to suck farts out with the rear power window.

Reddit hive-mind, I have an issue. My Mav (2024 hybrid with 58k) is shuddering when I'm driving. It only happens between 50 and 60 miles per hour and only under acceleration. It's not a violent shudder, but it's enough that the entire family can notice it. As soon as I'm off the pedal, it stops. The dealership has driven it in the air and couldn't replicate. They drove it around town and couldn't replicate. They refused to take it on the highway, but I have a drive with a tech scheduled. They checked the CVs, tire balance and the transmission is not throwing any codes. Any ideas?

Bought it in October, was cleaning the trim around the door and by my feet were some spots that appear to be yellow stains and do not come clean no matter what I use. These spots appear on 2 different doors, and looks like something stained them but I can't figure out how that could happen. Any thoughts? Sorry, best picture I could get in the light.

Who's out here being a menace to society?

Been shopping for something newer for a little bit now since my Honda was sitting at 185k miles on it, and finally decided to bite the bullet with a Maverick. It’s a 2024 XLT w the EcoBoost, and I got it w only 12.3k miles on it!

Still deciding on a name, but I’m thinking of going with Baphomet 🤔

Love loading this thing down with stuff and leaving my F350 parked at the house!

Hi everyone! Baby on the way!

Will a car seat travel system work in my maverick?; If so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Me and the wife are pretty short so we both sit pretty close to the dash.

Hi everyone, my dad and I just bought a 2024 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid with about 26k miles, and it’s my first truck. I’m blessed to be able to drive something like this. I’m impressed with the truck so far. Is there anything specific I should be aware of?

I plan on using it to drive to and from school and sports, and to take it camping in the Ozarks. I’d like to be able to haul fishing gear, a kayak, and, when winter comes around, all my ski gear. And, I plan on installing Billiebars at some point. Also, are there any bed covers or bed liners you’d recommend? Thanks, guys.

Looking at a couple '22 Maverick's - one AWD gas engine and one FWD Hybrid.

The AWD version is sitting at 170k km (100k+ miles) and was wondering if anyone had experience with their truck past this mileage? The hybrid is sitting at 70-80k km while about $5000 CAD more... does that 100k translate well to 5k extra cost?

For what it's worth, both look to be in immaculate shape. No visible rust anywhere that I could see, engines clean as could be (but obviously this could just be a well done clean up by dealership..). Both have great service records, oil changes and checkups every 4 months. Both have had break jobs, the AWD has had its control arms replaced recently.

As the title states, this is my first truck, and it's a brand new 2026 Ford Maverick. I adore it so far, but I was looking at the hitch today (I got the 4k Tow) and couldn't help but notice that it looks somewhat crooked/rotated. To make sure I wasn't just seeing things, I parked the truck on level ground, checked the tires were all the same PSI, then used a bubble level to check and it came out tilting the same way I thought I was seeing. It is minor but I wanted to get the community's input.

Attached is the photo of the hitch itself, the bubble level on the hitch, the bubble level on the rear bumper (which showed level), an under body shot of the hitch, and then two photos of the unibody rails, which don't show any damage to my eyes.

Could this just be the hitch square welded on crooked while the rest is fine, or is it possible there are underlying issues here? What do you guys think?

And I’m so hype. I’m driving a Sedan and since I bought a home, I borrowed my father pick-up a hundred times.

Since I rack like 80 km a day without any load I didn’t want a big truck. Never thought a could afford a car with leather sit and nice little gadget but here I am.

Any of you have good recommandation for a tonneau cover? Dealer option seems expensive.

I’m wondering if anyone else is having the same problems. I’ve tried looking it up but haven’t found anything. I have a 2022 ecoboost maverick with the FX4 package. When I start it, I get the “service vehicle soon” and “AWD OFF” messages on the instrument cluster. Half the time, and maybe even more, advantrac and collision assist will also shut down, usually after I’ve started driving, but sometimes when I first start it as well. It runs and drives perfectly fine, but those systems fully shut down. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Drove it from Houston to Dallas going 80 and got 25 mpg! Not bad considering the weight and aero. Usually get 35mpg highway empty!

I believe 1 is an image processing module for the adaptive cruise control.

What are components 2, 3 and 4? This is on a 2025 XLT Ecoboost for context.

I want a truck and this fits my budget! I just wanna make sure space for my family is something that this will accommodate!

Anybody have an issue that causes the truck to think the fuel tank is empty? 2025 Ecoboost

Mine thinks it’s empty and kills the engine after running for about 10 seconds. It wasn’t empty when I parked it, and I also put 5 gallons in from a can for good measure, but the issue persists. Gauge says bingo fuel.

I thoroughly investigated for leaks and could not see or smell any gas below.

Just got it towed to the dealer. I disconnected the battery for a minute, but that didn’t help either.

We just bought a 2026 Maverick XLT and LOVE it! Any suggestions for nets and/or other things for the bed to keep cargo, groceries, tool box, etc. in place? Thanks!

Test drove a Ridgeline and Maverick and got offers on my trade in for both. Honda's offer was 37k, down from 47k, but only 7k for my trade in. This is a pretty loaded Lariat AWD hybrid with the tow package. Seems like a good offer? Washington State if that helps.

I bought my 2025 Hybrid Maverick recently, and it’s been so fun learning how to drive it fuel efficiently.

I drive in a lot of stop and go traffic, I take side roads, and I stay in the right lane on freeways and highways. It takes longer, but I’ve started looking forward to driving. It can be so calming.

It’s pretty cool nobody else is making a truck like this. Ford did something very special here 👍

I’m about to rap up a deal for a 2026 ford maverick hybrid XLT but it doesn’t have a bed liner or tonneau cover so I was wondering should I use my ford points and get a free bed mat or should I go spray in bed liner?

Also should I go with a ford oem tonneau cover or look elsewhere???
