Agreed - unless you have a 2026 Maverick Hybrid since that spec was updated to WSS-M2C972-A1

A whole bunch better than a can of Fix-A-Flat or Mini-Donut spare..

Lots of reasons to get it - including this large conventional spare tire!

Could be that the new spec supersedes the previous - I haven’t read that anywhere.. — asking ChatGPT (which is still only a somewhat educated guess) Survey Says! ((Nope))

For those interested —

I live in Texas where many people consider Speed Limits as mere suggestions, or at least the “minimum speed” someone should be driving and in the far most right lane. on a recent trip, light and variable winds, I ran 80 and kept an eye on the mileage. It showed 29 mpg on our 2026 Hybrid with bed...

Don‘t shoot the messenger.. Ford has used fuel analysis in the past to deny diesel engine warranty claims where the failure was in the high pressure fuel system. This happened to a member of Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum a number of years ago When he had a Biocide in his truck Due to extended...

Got the front where I want it - but will probably add driving/fog lights on a separate circuit from the headlights.. the light bar is a white DRL and the sequential turns. Also a quick shot of the side repeaters...

This is just one of a dozen or more spots on my truck. It’s called “Rail Dust” and it comes from the wheels of the transport train that carried our trucks up from Mexico. Exactly how it looks, it is a burned spot about 3/16” diameter and that burn goes all the way to the metal. I could hold...

Yes, the Maverick Hybrid does indeed have regenerative braking. There is a Braking Coach that you can turn on in the center dash display and it will tell you how much energy (percentage) in your braking, was returned to the Hybrid Battery. Yes, braking too hard will put more wear on your service...

Wow Ray! That’s a heckuva list you have there. These are the comments of an SAE (yes that’s right) certified Journeyman Mechanic and retired engineer that still works on building / restoring cars. Take my comments for what they may be worth to you. Not interested in keyboard wars with anyone...
