  1. I know its cheap plastic... 'frame' of the screen is beginning to flake off.

    If you look at this ebay listing below you will see that the "frame" is part of the display itself. You would have to remove the display/cubby and disassemble the unit to get the frame off (so - stop trying to pry it off!). ebay listing for older model Maverick display+cubby If it really bugs...
  2. Mangoal dash cam has great picture quality

    I keep hearing about the @Mangoal cam model that will "be coming out", and was waiting for this before I put in an order. I have a Mangoal cam for the wifes VW that I have not yet installed, I have no garage and it's raining. Maybe tomorrow. 🤨 Meanwhile Viofo has come out with a dual 4k model...
  3. What would you like to see Ford do for the next gen Maverick

    1 and 4 and 5 - it ain't no Lincoln, it's an "economy" truck. 2 - or at least design some digital gauges that mimic analog and make them nice looking, that would go a long way. 3 - hmm, ja makes sense. 6 - with a nice autodimming mirror 7 - should happen eventually. Ditto to all but the...
  4. Washington Fixer-upper from Craigslist (not mine)

    9k, 2024 hybrid, airbags deployed, salvage title. Pictures show condition. Not my vehicle. https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/auburn-2024-ford-maverick/bu5HiZ5PD6xj99F1EcDK6H
  5. Upcoming Nissan Rogue hybrid will have no transmission

    Thats not quite the story - while the Ford eCVTs were being developed, Ford and Toyota started litigating against each other for patent stuff, during the process of discovery realized each was using the others technology, and instead of dragging themselves through lengthy (and expensive) court...
  6. Tire pressure

    Do they still make that model?
  7. Tire pressure

    I ended up with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDLC8PPR and it matches the TPMS readout.
  8. Infotainment much playback having random skips - help?

    O.P. @Kapn_Krump has a 2026 which is the new Sync 4 system. This for me works flawlessly with Amazon Music and with music I have stored locally on my Pixel 6 Pro, both wired and wireless. O.P. therefore has a warranty should it actually be a problem with the infotainment unit. O.P. still has...
  9. Crackling noise heard in the speakers

    I noted this same behavior when I was cleaning inside the vehicle last week after I got back from a long trip. It wasn't very loud. At least one other person noted this and made a thread...
  10. Infotainment much playback having random skips - help?

    What phone are you using? Do you have a different phone you can use to test with?
  11. Upcoming Nissan Rogue hybrid will have no transmission

    They really, really need to purge the peoples memory of their older CVTs. It will be interesting to see how well it works and if other manufacturers follow this model, which to me seems the most logical way to make a hybrid.
  12. What would you like to see Ford do for the next gen Maverick

    With the truck off, I can move the wipers all the way to the left (drivers side), lift them, clean the windscreen, lower them and move them back. Do yours not work the same way?
  13. What would you like to see Ford do for the next gen Maverick

    Others have reported this. The workaround/trick seems to be (if I recall correctly) to open and close one of the rear doors.
  14. My brake job and upgrading rotors & pads (DIY how-to)

    Nice write-up! I used to do brakes and other "light" mechanical work in a shop and have always done my own brakes at home. One of the things that can cause vibration in braking systems is pads leaving material stuck to rotors (my '96 V6 Ford Contour did this to me). If you do a lot of...
