Pickup Trucks

Minimum 50k.

Dealers were cranking prices / add-ons for the Maverick like it’s going out of style.
Not unique to Ford. We cross-shopped the Maverick and Ridgeline, and I was interested in a more base model Honda. Was told nothing for at least a year, but they had plenty of the Black models available at a roughly 20% premium from $50k to $60k, if I recall.

Looking at theit website now, they've since completely axed the base LX model, now it's Sport and up only. Makes more sense, I guess.

And at least the Honda dealership was easy to deal with and straightforward, unlike the local Ford dealership, who acted like getting a Maverick was a massive imposition on their time...
 
Good because the Maverick is great…except in the interior as it’s a parts bin special. So cheap and so many rattles…
That’s an easy $100-200 fix. Some deadener, some closed cell foam, and some foam tape and an afternoon will nicely quiet that up.
Here’s one of my rear doors part way through the process.

Doors are one thing…ripping apart the dash for a rattle is involving…

I’ve got 700km before my comprehensive warranty runs out…wonder if they would do anything.

It’s a ford.. expect squeaks, rattles and clunks.

I used a can of spray foam on a couple of rattle trap ford 250 work trucks. fixed a rattling harness and a squeaky heater box.

You could probably fill the entire dash cavity of a Maverick with a couple of cans.

The dash itself doesn't rattle. The little things attached to it are what makes noise. Felt tape and similar cheap things fix that right up. You just need to make a note of where each thing is that makes noise and trouble-shoot it one at a time.

Ugh...was afraid of that! I don't think the dealership is gonna do poo about it...'this is the car it is...too bad so sad. Buy an F150 if you want quiet.'
