Heads up, that water bottle spot + a tall water bottle does have the danger of the water bottle falling out if you slam your door shut. I had that happen to me the other day w/ the Stanley water bottle: it rolled around my foot area and I didn't notice until it hit my heel. Worst case scenario, it rolls under the brake pedal. I've caught it a few times now leaning out, surely to fall out again so that bottle doesn't go in the driver side door anymore. Would be a wise move to test the water bottles for their ability to stay put!

Is it just me or does making a video about the interior features of a vehicle while traveling 80 miles an hour sound like a bad idea?

The amount of people I see on here taking pictures/videos from their phones while driving is ridiculous. "buT i gOtTa sHarE mY fUel eConOmY sTaTS!"

Enjoy the reorder process when you wreck your current one morons.

My 2022 has dual zone

The more recent Mavericks that still have "dual zone" controls no longer show the "set" temperature on the dial itself. Instead, when you rotate the dial, the set temperature displays on the center screen for a few seconds, then disappears.

Is that a setting you can adjust in FORSCAN?

I don't really know. But why would you want to do so? Do you really want the temp displayed 24/7, overlapping the map, radio, or menus? You really only care about it WHILE you're adjusting the temp.

By the way, my Lariat Hybrid does an excellent job of maintaining the temp I set, regardless of whether it's hot or cold outside. Set it, and forget it.

Yes, helping it always displayed makes a difference, asking for a friend who is married...

Duhhhhh better yet, why don't I just not open the door in the first place?



haha naw I just put it in the passenger side slot But judging from the water bottle threads on this forum, a LOT of guys have various water bottles in the driver side

I use passenger door like you. I had the experience of water bottle falling out unexpectedly and roll under brake/gas pedal horizontally.... Good thing I had jus started down my cup de sac stree ans wasn't going fast! Scary, tho.

The door storage is too shallow. If it was 2-3" deeper it wouldnt be a problem.

MUCH BETTER! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3DTBTT1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Yeah, thirty bucks for a little hunk of plastic ain't flying here. Besides, I was talking about the door. How am I supposed to reach stuff behind the seat?

Don't Slam your door

My bottle Ford sent me after the airbag recall falls out as well. I don't slam the door but it seems that after a dozen or more closings of the door, it falls out onto the floor. Another over educated engineer designed this.

The door storage is useless. I’ve not found anything that fits in the spaced intended for a water bottle,nada. Last year I lost 2-3 pairs of gloves that I’d put in the door pocket, ice scraper ended up under my feet or laying on ground when I opened and close door. Even the Maverick water bottle Ford sent me for getting airbags replaced won’t fit. And I’m still mad about scratches all over my dash from the airbag replacement.
