Steelies had to go

I'm a cheap ass so I didn't want to drop $1300+ on a set of wheels. I got these Liquid Metal Halo wheels on sale from Discount Tire. $740 installed. My Baja Boss tires look great on them. Now a carwash. Really happy with how they turned out

My son named it Batmav but my plate says differently. 4-hour road trip in the Maverick Hybrid

Took a 4-hour road trip today and made some good memories in the Maverick. Ended up with sand from the beach in the truck and a bunch of trash from our stops along the way.

My son got a Wendy’s kids’ meal with a Batman toy, and he decided to name my truck for me 😂

One thing I really love is how fast this truck is when passing on the highway. Drop it from Normal to Sport, and it’s a dart. Before I bought it, I honestly thought the Hybrid was going to feel slow, but it’s been the opposite of what I expected.

The dash said I averaged ~33 mpg, mostly cruising 60–70 mph for about 80% of the trip. I think that’s pretty solid, especially with my “meaty” tires.

After nearly 250 miles, I was about half a tank down, and it only cost ~$30 to fill back up here in Michigan (~$4.50/gal). If my math is right, that puts the real MPG closer to ~37 mpg, even including some city driving.

Overall, way more efficient than my last truck, and I'm impressed with how it handles highway trips.

Anyone towing these with their Mavericks?

Looking at a Razor 1000 4 seater. According to ChatGPT they weigh about 1900-2000. What size trailer (obviously aluminum) are y'all using for towing a 4 seater SxS?

My truck is the hybrid AWD with 4k tow package.

Thanks

Just love how this little Maverick looks. Have a great weekend everyone.

My 2025 Hybrid XL AWD, 4k tow, factory spray-in bedliner. Just hit 2500mi. Had to take a picture

I haven’t done many mods to my Maverick (just tint and tires), but I had some Ford points left over and picked up one of those tailgate assist kits.

It does what it’s supposed to do—prevents the tailgate from slamming—but if you use your tailgate often, be aware: it’s slow. It noticeably slows the opening process to a crawl.

Just an FYI for anyone considering it. I don’t open mine that often, so I’ll probably leave it on, but honestly, I wouldn’t have bought it if I knew it would feel this slow.

S26 Ultra + dbrand Tank case. Used an iPhone for over a decade. My first smartphone was a Galaxy S3, and it feels good to be back on Team Android.

Applied my AWD Hybrid badge a bit too high. Now I gotta remove it and lower it about an inch or two. Not a huge deal, but I eyeballed it, at least I got it straight lol. I think it looks good still, just wish I went a tad lower. Tbh I'm busy and will probably keep it like this lol
