  1. Maverick Hybrid faces 82,000-brake complaints—one owner blames the brakes for a crash

    Was curious too. Found it in the owner manual for the 2025 hybrid:
  2. AC always on at engine start for 25 XLT hybrid

    I dislike the feature because if I'm running the fan only, and stop for a few minutes, the AC comes on when I restart. Didn't ask for that, had it set to FAN. And it will kick the engine on a few minutes before I need it running to leave my neighborhood.
  3. What Maverick Feature Grew on You?

    I found myself adjusting to the auto brake hold and liking it despite a poor initial impression.
  4. Why hybrid owners regret their choice...⚡🪫⛽

    This is out of date with current gas prices, but my rough estimate for the Maverick's hybrid cost payoff is ~3 years. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/what-are-your-thoughts-on-these-points-against-owning-a-hybrid-truck.66857/#post-1108235 I do agree with one point from the...
  5. How are you keeping (your back) cool in the summer?

    I use one of these beaded seat covers, with just the headrest spikes through the top to hold it in place. It's a holdover feature/habit from my previous vehicle that didn't have any AC. Works great.
  6. Cargo light internal housing is melting/cracking

    I did jump up in the bed and look at the new ones with one of the dealer techs after they replaced it, but I must not have taken any pictures because I can't find them. The tech said they had to pull down the headliner to do the swap, I expect there's a power connector hidden up there.
  7. Cargo light internal housing is melting/cracking

    Update! The dealer did replace the 3rd brake housing under warranty, but creased the headliner and left dirty fingerprints on it ☹ And then.. The newly replaced 3rd brake is already melting again! I actually already own the Lasfit LEDs, but haven't installed them in case it causes my...
  8. Custom bed rails installed (DIY with parts from Home Depot)

    Thank you for the details. It looks so crisp my brain immediately thought it must be anodized or something.
  9. Custom bed rails installed (DIY with parts from Home Depot)

    Looks great! Trying to understand what I'm seeing here. Did you buy the rails painted, or paint them yourself? If so, what paint/method?
  10. Cargo light internal housing is melting/cracking

    Just left the dealer after 10k service visit, and they said replacing the assembly would be covered under warranty on my next visit for the parking software recall.
  11. Cargo light internal housing is melting/cracking

    It could be an original defect, but the way it sits right above both bulbs makes me think the heat from them is melting the plastic. OEM bulbs, nothing aftermarket, and I don't make a habit of manually kicking the cargo lights on with the button in the cabin very often.
  12. Cargo light internal housing is melting/cracking

    Is anyone else seeing this on their Maverick? Tried a forum search and didn't come across anything. 2025 Hybrid Mav
  13. ... Did anyone else get spammed with errors and then a handtyped apology this past weekend?

    Last Saturday I woke up to these errors from the Ford app: And since the truck seemed to be in crisis, I wound up traveling out of town with my old Civic (NO heat and drafty). When I got back, I saw this update: I was confident that these were just caused by the OTA update about one day...
  14. What's in your bed today? [Photos Edition]

    New to this. Am I trucking right??
