It seems to be new tire related though. Road noise/feel are a big part of the decibels in our Mavericks - and different tires sound/feel different. However, your issue disappears when coasting - ruling out road noise. Are lug nuts tightened to 148 ft/lbs? Are new tires heavier than what they...

I clicked so you don’t have to. Obvious AI clickbait obviously. Did not watch more than 10 seconds, so the narrative might not be as goofy as the visuals. Some AI videos can be educational - this is definitely not one of those…

Did you notice/feel the vibration before your new tires?

You are correct - most popular colors are the cheapest. That was Clark’s point - less popular colors actually hold their resale value better than the popular ones.

Good point. But I still think running conventional oil in the modern EB would be worse. Old Maverick would outlast Modern Maverick on that old conventional formulation. Of course the oil itself is the same regardless of decade - it is the advanced additives package that have been developed...

How about if modern oil technology was used to formulate a specific additives/etc package to address the old engine technology? Higher mileage before changing? Of course, just like today, change oil at least annually if not sooner!

Of course modern cars are better in most (all?) ways. Safer, cleaner, longer lasting as you say. Motor oil technology has advanced incredibly too. Same for gasoline. The rust issue may be a better question - but misses the point of my (dumb?) hypothetical question:)

I don’t know about ECO mode - but the prompt to return to SPORT mode lasts about a second. If your thumb isn’t already on the “OK” button ready to push - you lose. Prompt disappears faster than you can read it. The green prompt telling you that your seatbelt is fastened stays on forever until...

I was your age when I bought my first car - a 1979 beige Volvo 242. I felt like an old man driving that car/color! Hopefully you don’t feel like an old man as you drive your Maverick Hybrid haha. Congrats on your purchase!

I’m an old geezer driving an EB. Not connected to Ford App. Not because I’m afraid of Hybrid tech or the online app - heck we geezers invented that stuff. I drive the EB without App because I don’t want to deal with any young tech support folks lol 😂 Edit - we geezers also invented video...

You would think the young ones would be appreciative of all the technology we geezers invented. Computer, internet, PC, smartphones etc. Their modern Maverick is chocked full of Boomer innovations. Oh well, they gave us Facebook & TikTok yay!

Surely you can’t be serious. The Hybrid & Ford App are preferred by the old geezer Boomers on this Forum. Not surprised you drive an old fashioned ICE vehicle;)

Moose muffins:) Hey, being wary when buying a high mileage 6 year old Maverick that is beyond any warranty coverage is smart. First question I would ask is “what is your MTC user name?”. There are certain members I would never buy a used Maverick from. Others I would pay a premium. Also, I...

Agree. 10w30 conventional oil was the Ford recommended oil back in the 70’s. 5w30 not invented yet. Not sure what oil the current drivers of old Maverick cars are using - probably 10w30 like you advise. Probably don’t need full synthetic:)

Of course:) But the OEM 6 or 8 cylinder Maverick engine would last longer than an 202X Maverick EB if using 1970’s conventional oil. BTW, the 1960’s era Chevrolet Corvairs had turbos. Air cooled 6 cylinder turbo engine using the crappy 1960’s conventional oil. My Pop had a Corvair. Wish he...

MM, do you disregard your OLM like Ranko does? Still curious how soon Ranko’s OLM goes to 0%…within 3 months maybe?

If fe If fed bananas - King Kong for sure. Toss up if fed whale meat.

I ask again politely - show me a large enough sample of Maverick Hybrids with over 250,000 miles to back up your conjecture.

No data available yet for your conjectures on the Maverick Hybrid. Time & Motion will tell.

Which engine would last longer - 2026 Maverick EB using oil from the 1970’s Maverick (Conventional 10W-30) Or…. 1970 Maverick V8 using same oil. Answer….the 1970 engine 2026 Maverick EB using current Full Synthetic 5W-30 Or…. 1970 Maverick V8 using current Full Synthetic 5W-30 Answer…...
