Lug nut torque seems very high, but I believe the manufacturer knows what they’re doing. My VW and Audi are both 89 ft/lbs.

Ford does recommend premium for towing, especially at high temperatures. Not sure what effect that would have on the transmission but may have been able to hold a higher gear with the extra power available.

Have you checked the accuracy of the odometer?

Different tires, even of the same size can make a large difference. With my 2.0 turbo Audi snow tires of the same size cause a loss of above 2.5 to 3 mpg.

If your battery is really 2+- volts it’s probably dead for ever.

Try holding the key by the metal (or something else metal) and touching the door handle with it. I have gotten some pretty amazing arcs that way and don’t get shocked myself. You may have to find some other grounded metal on the Maverick because I think the handles are plastic. A lot of it...

The max pressure on the tire has nothing to do with the correct pressure. The pressure on the door jam (plus or minus 3 or 4 lbs, at your option) is the correct answer. Just google for 2 minutes and you will see the truth.

It looks like you would have to remove the thetailgate to use. Might work, but not very convenient.

Why not use the keypad?

Which would you rather have, a little easily cleaned wax rustproofing dripping out, or rust? My 2000 Jetta still drips a little rustproofing wax on hot days, but it has no rust, even in super salty Northern Ohio.

Did you try fastening the passenger sear belt?

I wouldn’t set the tire pressure at the maximum pressure listed on the tire. That has nothing to do with the correct air pressure listed on the sticker on the door jam.

Yep, it says right in the Constitution that you have the right to drive drunk.

No more requirement for a front plate in Ohio.

I have a 2000 Jetta that’s still going strong. Very, very little rust and super reliable.

Somethings off here. 3303 miles divided by 88 gallons is 37.5 MPG. Good, but not 44.0 MPG.

It really seems to me that the very few times that the tri fold top covers the rear window that the exterior mirrors and the rear view camera would do the job.
