  1. Dealer won't give me the truck...Recall issue

    There is nothing safe about a rear camera. If anything it encourages laziness for the driver. It is an aid at best. But let us not confuse this for a safety device, though I understand that's how they are marketed....which is wrong and an entirety different issue in itself. The recall precisely...
  2. Is this good fuel mileage for the 2.0 turbo?

    Oddly enough the best mileage I ever got was 33.1 mpg on my way to @Buschur 's to get my Intercooler and catch can installed when the truck was new.
  3. Burning Smell going UP a mountain road for 15-20 minutes

    Is there a chance the smells were not actually coming from your truck?
  4. Sooo close to being in the 700 club this morning!

    A real life accomplishment. 😄
  5. Here’s kind of a weird take: the Ford Maverick is embarrassing.

    I will say this... I use my Maverick in more truck duties than many who have larger trucks. I regularly tow 2000+lbs, haul half yards of sand in the bed, transport lumber and outdoor power equipment. My thought is if I do more "truck stuff" than the average truck owner with my Maverick then...
  6. Here’s kind of a weird take: the Ford Maverick is embarrassing.

    No disagreement there. But, I do believe today's Maverick owner is Ford's future customer again too. Quite likely, a truck customer and that's where the money is.
  7. Here’s kind of a weird take: the Ford Maverick is embarrassing.

    I have one of the first 2022 Mavericks built and have 34K miles. Not one single issue. That said, I have not had any recalls performed because my truck has no symptoms and I feel sometimes recalls create problems rather than solve them. This happened to my Jeep Grand Cherokee several years ago.
  8. Tremor down...but a question about the seats.

    The seats should not have collapsed. This indicates that the amount of force from the impact was severe enough to cause your body weight to break the reclining gear in the seat back. It has been a while so my memory is fuzzy but I believe Ford had this issue with their Contour sedans from the...
  9. the Maverick is mundane?

    I was just having a similar discussion with my brother as we were unloading a sizeable pile of sod from the box of my Maverick. I told him that I consider myself to use my truck for "truck duties" more than most other non-commercial truck owners. Yet, these folks all have trucks much larger and...
  10. Towing 4,000lbs?

    Correct. Though the guide does refer to the 40 Sq. Ft. as a "limitation."
  11. Towing 4,000lbs?

    Completely agree. It is worth noting that many RV trailers are slanted in front to reduce frontal resistance. I'm not pretending to know how to calculate for this accomodation. I do know that this is one of the ways RV makers are working to lower drag. OP should talk with an RV dealer as I'm...
  12. Towing 4,000lbs?

    Well, with 4K Tow you're limited to 40 sq.ft. of frontal surface area. So, take the 8' width of the trailer you're considering and multiply it by its frontal height and there's your answer. 👍
  13. Towing 4,000lbs?

    In my opinion, if you are going to tow a trailer like that you should really upgrade the intercooler on the EB. The OEM cooler is grossly undersized and intake temps will get hot quickly. Then the ECU pulls timing and there goes your power, adding further strain to the drivetrain. It was the...
  14. What's your Maverick mileage and ownership time?

    2022 XL AWD 27K miles Delivered 12/2021
  15. Warning! LED Bulb distributors

    I upgraded my reverse lights also. Made a big difference for the camera.
  16. Warning! LED Bulb distributors

    I have had good luck with Alla bulbs in the third brake light/cargo light assembly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0973L8R7Z?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
  17. Oil Change Indicator Came on - Dealership refuses to change oil under service plan.

    That would be too easy. Must buy a "I'm helpless" service plan and make it someone else's problem. 😂
  18. MRT Street Race Exhaust for Maverick

    The 3.6 V6 camaros with dual mode factory exhaust sound very good. The old V6 Contour SVT's also sounded great. Not V8 great, but really, really good.
  19. Left me stranded

    This is normal. It's one way Ford gets the high MPG out of the Maverick. They don't let it run too long. On a serious note...sorry you were left stranded. Not cool. 😯
