We love our maverick hybrid. Area 51 with the xlt interior, its a very quirky color combo, but it works. Outstanding truck thus far.
The hybrid is definitely impressive. I’d love to have that fuel mileage.
I just got my 2024 maverick and I’m exited to start camping man love your videos 🔥
Congrats! I know you will love it.
Got a Nissan frontier ad while watching this and the fuy in the commercial said "NICE, RIGHT?" right before I could skip 😂
Haha, I get those adds too!
Glad it's working out well for you! Good to hear something positive about Ford in some hard times.
There’s a reason they don’t advertise the maverick. There’s still long waiting lists for them. So far it’s been a positive experience.
We have 33K miles on our 2022 Maverick. A few recalls but no other issues
It’s a good truck and there’s a reason they don’t advertise. They keep selling out when they open the order banks.
Good stuff. I was looking at the Ford Ranger earlier this year, and the salesman said the Maverick also has more interior room than the Ranger. I passed on the Ranger since its interior is dated and the 2024's were still months away from being delivered. I ended up getting a 2023 GMC Canyon AT4, since GMC updated the model this year. Its been a great truck so far. Hope to run into you in Ocala one of these days!
I’ll be in the forest most weekends from now on.
Congrats on the truck. The AT4 is a nice package!
@OverlandFlorida thanks. I think it's a good balance for every day use and off road use.
Recently picked up a 2024 maverick lariat with the tremor package. Absolutely love it but was worried about the wear and tear in the interior. I don’t plan and doing anything work related with the truck so I guess it’s safe to say the truck should hold up very well once I get to the 100,000 mile mark. I average around 500-1000 easy miles a month and that includes commuting to work, running errands and just driving around town to go out on the weekend. So as far as engine wear goes I don’t expect much problems there either since I don’t race the engine or drive rough. Although I do expect the truck to perform its best during the heavy snowy days! lol
So far I’m still very happy with the truck. 62k miles now.
I’ve heard lots of debate about the strut tower brace and whether it makes a difference and whether it increases or decreases the lifespan of your shocks/struts…..your testimonial has swayed me yet again, towards thinking I might want to order one for my Mav.
Just do it. It was freaking night and day difference.
I have the Gator bed cover on a c10 truck, no issues . Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome!
I would change the transmission and transfer case fluid if I was you. I only have 10k on my FX4, it's also a 22 model I change oil every 5k. Love it.
That’s a good idea.
We are waiting for the Toyota Stout TRD Offroad. Maybe 2025. Of course I'm keeping my 2020 Tundra TRD Offroad,
I doubt that would come to America. That might not even be a real truck.
Try 2028 dude. Im a huge toyota fan but dont kid yourself. Toyota hasnt even recognized the name stout. They only bought the trademark for the name. They never said thats what they are calling it.
I’ve been interested in the Maverick, seen it around, and the price of $22k is a breath of fresh air. but being a Ford makes me nervous. I need my vehicles to last relatively trouble free for 400-500,000 miles. I own a 2017 Tundra that I bought new and will be with me forever. I wish Ford the best we need competition
That’s awesome. I was going to buy a Maverick and end up buying a Bronco Sport Big Bend. I absolutely love it. We have an 2020 F150 so I decided to get the Bronco instead. Can’t we to run into you up in Ocala or Citrus.
Yeah the bronco sports are nice. Basically the same platform. They are starting to come out with a lot of accessories for them.
Also getting a lot of rock chips on my fusion. I hope Ford would do a better job with paint
Or at lest lower the price of the vehicle to where it originally was. $19k for an entry level vehicle was fine.
Thanks for the great review! Any thoughts on catch cans? I just got my 2024 XL eco boost and have heard it's a good idea to install one.
I’ve heard mixed reviews. I opted to not worry about it.
No catch can needed with engines that have both port and direct injection systems.
Can you pull your Runaway with the Maverick? We have a 2024 and love the Runaway.
Yes. I pull the runaway with the maverick. 16mpg loaded down.
I have a 23 hybrid with 17,000 miles. It has generally been alright but I finally got a check engine light and it looks like it's something with the heat exchange. I also have a beagle and my interior looks way more scratched than yours
Hopefully there’s no real issue with your heat exchange.
@OverlandFlorida there's a tech bulletin so I think it's getting replaced. I thought you were selling yours? I remember seeing something on FB
@@nathanwolfe7069 everything is for sale for the right price.
3B needs you Kevdog!
3B needs a lot of things lol. Glad I’m one of them 😂
Love your videos and appreciate you showing the capabilities.
I have an 22 fx4 lariat and have noticed over time that I’m getting more creaking and popping in the back window area when not on level surfaces, even something as simple as backing out of the driveway. Is this something you have noticed? I’m at about 20,000 miles and am curious if I should have it looked at.
Thank you. I’ve never heard any noise from the rear window or anything.
@@OverlandFlorida thanks for your reply! I had a Ridgeline prior to my mav that had some similar sounds so I may be a bit of an alarmist about it. I’ll probably have this looked into since it’s developed over time.
Man I love the Area 51 color....so pissed they removed it in 2024. I do like my Hot Pepper Red Lariat though ...was my second choice.
I still love this color and I’d get it again. I have not seen the Hot Pepper color in person yet. Thanks for watching.
Maybe this has been asked, but where did you get the topo wrap? I'd love to get some of that
There’s a guy on instagram that sells it by the foot.
My 22 lariat fwd hybrid, the front cv axles were replaced at 18,000.
Yeah, it seemed to be an issue for both hybrid and EcoBoost.
What were your symptoms of the CVs going out? Thanks. I have a 2024 AWD with 165 miles (no 4K tow package). Love it.
The boots leak and sling grease everywhere. Also, you have drive line vibration from like 20-60mph.
@@OverlandFloridaSo helpful. Do you have mud flaps? If so, what kind. I really like your graphic wrap.
@@betweenworlds620 I do not have mud flaps. If I did, I’d probably buy Roxblocks.
One more.. Was that lift in the truck before they started leaking? Does ford blame the lift? Thank you
@@mikeb1744 ford didn’t say anything. It’s a known fact the early mavericks had a bad batch of cv axles. Some needed axles as soon as 3,000 miles. Mine seemed to go 40,000 before they started to shake from 30-50mph. They were leaking before the lift went on. Ford never questioned the lift and did the replacement free of charge.
Do you lower the tire pressure when driving in soft sand
I have a 22 maverick also put stay in the campgrounds.
Thanks,I enjoy your channel
I never lower the tire pressure in the maverick. Thanks for watching!
HI KEVIN,
FOREMOST, THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW ON THE MAVERICK. QUESTION: WOULD YOU PURCHASE A 2024 XL,XLT OR LARIAT FOR DAILY DRIVE…? I LIVE IN HOUSTON IT RAINS A LOT, SO WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND…? SHOULD I GET AWD OR FWD ONLY..? THANKS I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK.
I would get the base XL with AWD. Save yourself money to keep for a rainy day.
I am baby boomer and opted for the Lariat. My brother has the XLT. There is no comparison, My Lariat has so many more upgrades it is unbelievable. It is almost like 2 different trucks. I say money is not worth anything so I spent the extra $5K and could not be happier.
Just noticed, no more rack on the back? Where did it go?
Removed and sold.
Do you have rattles in the interior?
Some buyers says is a common issue
I do, but I believe it’s something I did. The dash doesn’t not rattle at all.
Hey Kevin how are you?
Why Did you take the bed rack out?
I took it out because I needed to use my truck bed to haul stuff.
Do you get scratches on the top of the door panels from the dog?
Nothing yet. He doesn’t really stand on the door panel. I use a dog hammock in the back seat.
Liked all the vehicles you had miss some of the campers tho
I miss them too.
Where did you get the wrap at?
There’s a guy on IG that sells it by the foot.
You def bored me to death with that grocery getter lmao. I think if you come camping with everybody 2/2/24 - 2/4/24 we should put the Maverick up next to PaPaBeast!
Where are you camping?
@@OverlandFlorida oh I thought you would be going to Jackalope’s camping trip to Ichetucknee Springs. I got a spot for the weekend. It shows you were invited
@@BeastFamilyADV yeah, I just don’t have the time to drive up there for the weekend. I’ll probably just stay around Ocala.
@@OverlandFlorida booooo, lol Ight dude maybe next time than.
Why did cv joints fail early?
Yes. The early mavericks got a bad batch of CV axles.
@@OverlandFlorida What kind of symptoms did you have with the CVs? Feels like something is loose on my 2022... built October 2021.
@@just4ivaylo92 grease being slung out of the cv boot. Vibrations from 30-60mph.
@@OverlandFlorida thanks. I feel some but not quite sure, especially because I run heavier AT tires. No grease being flung or torn boots. Will keep monitoring...
Have you had the carbon build up on the valves?
So much rust under the truck?!!! It’s 2022!!!??
Where do you see rust?
@@OverlandFloridaunder your truck all the exhaust pipes etc. are rusted bud
@@aalissa1860 no they aren’t.
@@aalissa1860 that's red clay and mud. There's no rust on the truck. Nice try.
@@OverlandFloridanice try???! at 8:19 go look again and wear glasses this time! There’s a lot of videos online on TH-cam about the underbody rust! We all know it’s not a good built plus the chipping paint on the body! It’s a cheap built with price raise I’ll pass! Good luck posting more videos bud! Good job! And good luck
Sup my brother
Yooooooooo
@@OverlandFlorida I’m still saving for my boat me and my wife watch all you’re stuff we are hoping we can go on an adventure with yall soon
@@jaywilliams8327 what kind of boat do you want?
@@OverlandFlorida I’m saving for a sea pro 17,2 hoping by mid end summer just tryna get my roof for my house before I bust out that kind of money then I was start a channel like youres with my wife and learn some new water ways
@@jaywilliams8327 I might have to sell my boat to buy a new roof in a couple years 😂
I like the Ford maverick, but it will never outlast a Tacoma
You are right about that.
The way I drive my vehicles and take care of them, It just might. My 1976 mercury cougar, that I bought brand new still runs like new, never no problems with engine or transmission, just regular maintenance. And the car is 48 years old!
@@gened7756that’s impressive, but there’s too many computers and electronics on today’s vehicles.
For sure
No
That is about 500 miles a week... BFG"s are known to last a while. What did the lift and tires do to the MPG? Ford should have sponsored you:)
The way I drive, I lost about 5mpg when the lift and tires. Jillian gets a little better MPG when she drives. I wish Ford would throw something my way lol
@@OverlandFlorida so are you under 19.0 mpg?
@@killersoung no. About 23 around town and 26-27 on the highway.
