It is a very curious thing that they don't tell people to drop that break in oil anymore. I have lots of tin foil that I wear for those conversations. Talk to anyone who does engine builds and they will tell you to drop that break in oil. As a matter of fact if you check out the Builders...

Hyundai/Kia appear to know they have issues and have a Google based platform that will be rolling out. They have stated they would continue to support Carplay/AA, but we will have to see. I am not a fan of the walled gardens in vehicles.

100% over the target dropping that break in oil early. It's a big deal.

It will depend on how many miles you drive. If you only drive 5000 miles or less a year that means one oil change a year. Unless of course you are doing short trips or live in a climate that is a sludge factory for engines. Again the OLM will tell you this, or you can just plan to do early...

I think Blackstone Labs is like $40 and SpeedDiagnostix is like $60 for a test. If you go looking for videos about extended oil drain intervals and lab tests you will see that there are many people who are using extended drain intervals. Lake Speed "The Motor Oil Geek" did a video not long ago...

Humans do the same thing... Isn't that the definition of "fast food"? LOL

Oil changes are like politics or religion in the vehicle forums. Best to try and avoid the subject. I am going to diverge just a little bit from the "read the manual" response. I would make the first oil change sooner than later to dump out the break in stuff that is floating around in the...

Man, the picnic basket...

I just got out of a Tesla to come to a Maverick and I am glad to be done with it. No way to realistically compare what someone can do with the Maverick and Tesla M3/MY. Maybe the Cybertruck, but not my cup of tea. I think the Maverick will be a better choice for me personally. Congrats on...

I am coming to the Mav from an EV. Been driving EVs for quite some time. I would not mind an EREV version of the Maverick. Enough battery to mostly be driving in electric mode but onboard power to make sure the battery stays in the sweet state of charge meaty center of the battery and to be...

I was just listening to Autoline talking about this issue. It does not sound like it is going away, but the manufacturers aren't going to get the tax break or incentive for having it. It will be completely up to the manufacturer if they want to include the feature. Now if the manufacturers...

Still waiting for my truck to be built, but I will add my info once I have it. Curious what that means for engine RPM at any given speed. Does the engine sound like it is turning a higher RPM at highway speeds in the 25?

I am on a road trip right now in the midwest. As I am still waiting for my ManBearPig Mav to be built I was Maverick spotting today on my way through MO/IA/IL. Lots of Mavericks out there on the road. It is funny I never noticed them until now. Very strange how that works. One thing I did...

Not to derail the thread, but once upon a time I had a truck that had the lock, unlock buttons on the armrest. I was only locked out of that truck about 3 times by my dogs... Just about the time I would remember and try to get back it was too late. Once with the truck running. Thankfully I...

Back in the day when I had to commute long miles and drove a lot additional creature comforts would have been worth optioning up for. Today since I don't drive that much cruise control and AC is all I really need and I am happy. Other creature comforts are just icing on the cake. I did option...

If you aren't a subscriber to the Long McArthur Youtube channel they are a great resource. Tim is laying out what they expect to get scheduled tomorrow May 8th. He spells out what Ford says is constrained and what they say they are looking for in the orders. It is very helpful if you have...

Any time there is a design change or update there are always new things that come up. So if you want to avoid the unknown then it might pay to wait for a 26. The body cavity thing is a design thing that you will have to decide if you want to buy the aftermarket part to cover it. Probably too...

To be honest I was really interested in getting a 2024 as I preferred the grill, and dash of the truck to the 2025. But after digging around here on the forum it is the CV issues and a couple of other reported oddities that pushed me to just order the 2025 where they "may" have fixed some of...

I think a lot of us would love to see an old school Ranger built again, but sadly does not look like it is in the cards. The new Ranger is as large as my old F150. So not a small truck for sure and may be the best compromise for people who need a truck, but don't need SD/HD truck ability or...

I like a story with a happy ending. So did they have to retrieve that truck from IA or was it a case of mistaken identity? Nice looking truck you have there! For all of the issues you had getting your truck I hope they took care of you to compensate for the situation.
