  1. FordPass message: "Drive your vehicle to reconnect FordPass and exit battery saver mode"

    I drive 5 miles to work and back each day and I get the message often, especially when it's colder. If the engine isn't running much then the 12V isn't charging much. Short trips = less time charging up the 12v. I agree with the trickle charger if he has access to an outlet, just to see if that...
  2. FordPass message: "Drive your vehicle to reconnect FordPass and exit battery saver mode"

    @Lake Surfer Girl Just means that the 12V battery is getting low. This happens to me a lot when the truck sits for a few days or if it's especially cold outside and I've only done short drives. It's a protection system that turns off items that aren't "essential" like FordPass features. The goal...
  3. Ford Heritage Paint scheme on a Maverick?

    That does sound cool. A forum post from a while back posted the Ranger below and I thought it would be cool to do a "throwback" style similar to that. Maybe if I have time.
  4. Ford Heritage Paint scheme on a Maverick?

    I agree. Just threw it together. BTW photopea.com is a free online editor that's really similar to PhotoShop if you ever wanted to mess with editing since you don't have Ps anymore.
  5. Ford Heritage Paint scheme on a Maverick?

    Super rough but something like this:
  6. T-Bone accident at red light. Can it be fixed if so how much?

    You are correct, I knew I didn't have the right terminology but couldn't remember at the moment. It's simply temporary coverage, not GAP. Thanks!
  7. T-Bone accident at red light. Can it be fixed if so how much?

    If you traded a vehicle in for the Maverick, or if you have a standing insurance policy for your other vehicles, then your Maverick would be covered under "gap" temporary insurance. Meaning that you are temporarily insured, usually up to 30 days, until you've had the opportunity to register it...
  8. Gotta ask Question to dump ford Pass

    The only problem is, if your system isn't logging an error then there's nothing for the dealership to see on their end. Basically your Maverick thinks it's running normally so nothing is sent to their servers indicating otherwise. Maybe the "diagnostic fee" is the joyride they take to see if...
  9. Gotta ask Question to dump ford Pass

    That's a great question! The three dealerships I've taken my Maverick to have not charged that fee (Warranty I assume). Two of them are good with that system I mentioned, one has no clue. Needless to say, I will not be going back to the clueless dealership. And yes, they already have the codes...
  10. Gotta ask Question to dump ford Pass

    Short of removing the modem from the truck, which I doubt is an easy process, the only thing you can do is simply delete the app from your phone and ignore the fact that it still exists. You probably don't want to take it out of the truck even if you can, especially if you want to resell it in...
  11. OMG, Textra has a Hot Pepper Red gif!

  12. Interior plastic scratch protection

    In my opinion, and I've had some cheap cars and some mid range cars, our Maverick interior plastic is the worst I have ever seen. Graze it with a fingernail and you've got yourself a scratch. Also collects dust/dirt like no other, especially the rear kick plates and the back of the center...
  13. CarPlay audio sucks?

    A few factors here. #1 At what level have you set your audio stream quality? Settings-Music-Audio Quality. I have Lossless turned on for Apple Music and it sounds awesome. If you use another service for music, then it's likely in that App's setting as well. #2 If you have AirPods or other...
  14. The REAL HYBRID MPG

    Thanks for the encouragement. Again, I'm happy with my 38mpg average. I'm too busy and usually running late with 3 kids in tow. On easy-going days, it's doable to hit 47mpg or so when I'm trying.
  15. Country of manufacturer [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    It's broken down by percentage on most, if not all, new window stickers. Also first Character on your VIN denotes the country of origin. My window sticker for my 22 XLT does not have percentage breakdown, but my wife's 24 Kia Carnival does. For the Kia it says something like 75% parts from Korea...
  16. Backup Camera Freeze/Stutter

    Noticed a recall for Bronco/Transit/Navigator for a backup camera freezing/stuttering issue. I thought it was just me, but this is also happening in my 22 XLT Hybrid from time to time. While backing up, the "live feed" from the camera will stall/stutter/freeze. The picture is still on screen but...
  17. The REAL HYBRID MPG

    Love it! I'm glad that it's working out for you. I just don't see how that's possible unless you are being VERY intentional about it, which you must be. I also cart around my kids quite a bit and the bed isn't without something in it most of the time. I just drive the truck, in ECO mode, and...
  18. The REAL HYBRID MPG

    I somewhat agree with you. I have a 22 Hybrid XLT. I have averaged about 36MPG over the 22K+ miles that I've driven it. Longer highway trips are closer to 33MPG (I drive between 75-80 MPH with ECO Mode on and cruise set) and my daily commutes put me closer to 38MPG most of the time. Obviously...
  19. FIXED! - AC is ungodly loud

    Mine is loud but NOTHING like that. Sounds like something is stuck or a bearing is going bad.
