10 Things You May Not Know About Your Maverick

1. You are not to tow anything until you drive the truck 1000 miles.
2. The manual release for the fuel door is over the driver's side rear wheel
3. For best performance, Ford recommends using a high-octane fuel with an octane level of 91 or higher.
4. The oil in your truck coming from the factory is "slime" green or "tang" orange.
5. Your truck has a secret setting for "Police Dark Mode".
6. Your truck has a secret setting for "Ambulance Mode".
7. If your infotainment screen freezes, hold down the volume and skip forward button at the same time for 5 seconds and it will reset the screen.
8. The rear head rests block about 40% of your rear vision via the rear-view mirror. Remove them for a much better rear view.
9. There is no light in the glove compartment, but the passenger side overhead light will illuminate the interior of the glove box just fine.
10. The mirror visors have lights.

Bonus:

- The rear cubby storage divider insert can be removed leaving enough space to store your
hitch shank and ball mount. Just wrap them in foam or a towel to keep them from rattling.

91 octane on hybrids? Seems like that would offset any fuel savings.

My visor mirrors do not light up. I think that is exclusive to the Lariat? I have an XLT.
