I have both things happen. Left the key in the cubby and got the double honk with no lock. And had the driver’s door lock for no explainable reason but the other three doors didn’t lock. Good advice to check the other doors before calling in the reserves.

Oil changes are good, I wanted something that would last so I used points and added the tailgate dampener as it was a DIY with no regrets. Should have been done at factory.

The photos are not hard to come by;

One year in and no mechanical issues. Have a factory sprayed in bedliner with multiple small pin size rust marks popping up. Not deep just on the surface. Not from any load. Also noticed bolts have slight rust around them and where the seams meet. Heated garage with plenty of air movement...

Hybrid because I am no friend of start/stop.

Love that color and like your garage floor! Congratulations!

I looked in the manual, I looked online, I looked here and there and finally found how to stop my driver cabin temperature from adjusting the passenger side while leaving the passenger’s temp alone. Then it reset itself to sync both sides the next time I drove it. I want permanent individual...

My beef with Ford is that they make decisions that they think everyone out there wants it that way. My Maverick.Infotainment system still has a mind of its own and it will play whatever it wants to play and makes it difficult to get back to where you were. I am leaving SiriusXM for a different...

Congrats. It will exceed your expectations. The only two options I would not do again are the sunroof and rear window mostly for the reason stated earlier that I can only use them when I am driving alone. Enjoy!

I have wondered this exact same thing because it just seems that when I use lane keep the mileage improves. Logically that could be the cruise as we have to have cruise engaged to use lane keep but I have grown rather fond of this feature (until it starts to argue with me). I have found if I...

My infotainment system just started doing this since the last update, AM static or just no audio at all and I have to reselect XM/Sirius as the source. Annoying and now happening on each startup. Reset the radio and it came up with nothing selected...again. Having a technician doing the recall...

We are taking our 2025 Maverick Hybrid Lariat to Poulsbo Washington to see our first grandbaby who will be only weeks old. Along the way, as we drive through the mountains, we are stopping in Missoula, Montana to see friends, Boise, Idaho to see friends, and Anacortes Washington to visit...

I had similar infotainment issues with my 2025 Lariat and it looked like it had a mind of its own until last week’s update and now it behaves normally. A code was logged and didn’t trip the check engine light but the code pointed to a software glitch. Free update check your system for this update.

At temperatures reaching -20°F in the state of Minnesota, my 2025 Maverick lariat hybrid has been performing flawlessly. This vehicle is exceeding my expectations in every regard. . 👍Everyone who loves Minnesota raise your right ski.🤣

I didn’t include that I was on an emergency run, adrenaline was running high and it happened in a rush. The post today by MRT about how they engineered their new strut assembly lifted me up 🙂.
