I upgraded my 2024 XLT Hybrid's battery to an H5 AGM a few weeks ago. I found it to be somewhat easier than most have posted. I first removed the plastic edge doorway entry panel, then the next panel towards the battery, and then I was able to have open access to the screw and the hold down...

This just started. When driving around 30 mph on bumpy roads there is a inconsistent tapping sound, like a large loose cable hitting against hard plastic, just behind the instrument panel. Has anyone had this issue, and if so, what was the fix? I personally don't want the dealership taking my...

Tried it again. Hope this helps other idiots like me. When I tried again, I made sure I was in the ACC mode, not just the first turn, or the start. Once there, I performed the procedure as outlined, but this time I waited a few moments for the flashing battery symbol. Before I thought it would...

Thanks for this great tutorial. I first made sure the new AGM H5 battery was fully charged before installing. Next, I followed your instructions above to the letter. However, when I was done installing I tried to do the BCM as you instruct. I hear a beep from the high beams when flashing...

It seemed to have appropriate mileage for the vehicle year and miles listed. But your point is well taken! Thanks!

Your suggestion is already on my radar! Thanks. Ebay, here I come!

I can't say enough about how grateful I am for your post. You have explained many things that have been on my mind and I confused about. So thankful for your kindness and willingness to offer these important updates. You are awesome. Thank you!

Yes, there are 2 towing devices in the front of the truck, so they should be as you say ... for flat towing behind an RV. I don't have the 4K towing in the rear, just the 2K. So are these towing modules zapping my battery's energy? I have trickle charged the battery until my charger said the...

I am a new owner of a used 2024 XLT FWD Hybrid Maverick with a towing package. I believe it has a 2K tow rating, and I do not tow anything. My battery keeps going into sleep mode stopping features to preserve the battery. My battery condition monitor shows 14.5 while driving, and 12.2 when...

My daughter worked for a dealership once and was appalled that they required her to make a certain number of service appointments a day. Telling people they needed service when they really didn't. Then when they came in they were hit with a lot of upsell services that were unnecessary. Just...

Thanks for sharing your expertise. Much appreciated.

2024 XLT Hybrid

Just wondering if anyone has tried to vinyl wrap the many cheezy and cheaply made plastic areas within the Maverick's cabin? If so, can you share what you have done? I'm having a hard time "wrapping" my head around just how much cheap looking plastic Ford put inside the cabin. My $20K Honda...

Thank you. Very helpful. My salesman seemed like once I signed the papers couldn't be bothered with me asking questions on how things worked. I appreciate your willingness to offer some help.

Dave used to live right by me here in Centerville. I know Dave very well. He has since moved up on the hills of Bountiful near the Temple. He is a crazy guy for sure.
