  1. Owner Manual

    Thanks. I have the PDF but sometimes it is nice to read from something ohter than a screen.
  2. Owner Manual

    Looking through the items in the dealer envelope I found the Ford Maverick Supplemental Owners Manual---surprisingly a pretty good little book. I like it and am glad I found it and Thank Ford for it, but wonder why they would put together a printed 170 page supplemental manual to a digital...
  3. Hybrid XLT Instrument Cluster

    It still amazes me that the unit can switch back and forth from electric to hybrid to maybe both without me noticing anything other than the various indicators. How the gas engine starts, stops runs by itself and same for electric. Someone did a bit of thinking! I can't imagine how the gas...
  4. Tracking total lifetime electric miles and gas miles

    Agreed-nice display and not in my XLT. My driving is not at that speed for longer periods of time but according to the screen I have, I am about at 30-40 percent electric and I too think that is pretty great! BTW,I can't see why a screen display would cost them more money to include in all...
  5. When do both the Gas and Electric Motors run simultaneously?

    It never says Gas Only--just Hybrid or Electric...at least I cannot find it.
  6. When do both the Gas and Electric Motors run simultaneously?

    I would like to know how the whole thing works--even the idea that a gas motor can start and then immediately be at road speed without being noticed is just , well, pretty good! The constant starting/stopping has to take its toll on parts.... If they are both running at the same time, that is...
  7. When do both the Gas and Electric Motors run simultaneously?

    So when it is showing Hybrid at about 40, I back off on the pedal, it switches to Charge, then I tap the pedal lightly and it goes to Electric until I step on it more then it goes to hybrid and the Gas engine starts and I don't feel a thing--and no radio is on? There is more to it--when a gas...
  8. When do both the Gas and Electric Motors run simultaneously?

    Thank you for the details. So there is no Gas Engine only display, just Hybrid and Electric... I like the vehicle no matter what. Lots of asinine questions though.
  9. When do both the Gas and Electric Motors run simultaneously?

    Seems like they both must run at the same time--even if just when starting up/slowing down. Do they normally run at the same time? Wehn the EV meter says 'Hybrid' I am assuming they both are running? Seems simple to answer but not so, at least for me. Thanks for any help.
  10. Finally Used the Portable Jump Box

    Thanks. I will take a look today and see what's up. I appreciate the time and extra effort and hope I don't need them for at least quite a while.
  11. Finally Used the Portable Jump Box

    Thanks. Just looking for a place in case I need to jump start the truck.
  12. Why can’t a manufacturer make these flares? All of the ones available look silly

    Ryan. Did you get a chance to see my note to the company re moisture and/or road grime/salt getting under the fender flares?
  13. Why can’t a manufacturer make these flares? All of the ones available look silly

    Well that may not be totally true. Take the shifter in the Maverick--no one wanted it yet they made it and we made it work. How about the blue trim on the inside...... Now if they squeezed a 327 in it'd be OK!
  14. Insurance suggestions?

    The best of luck--they are all out for stuffing their wallets and government just supports them all the way. Used to be high at $300 per year and now it is ten times that much.
