  2. Smell when towing with hybrid

    Towed for the first time with hybrid and was getting a burning rubber/ plastic smell. Performance seemed fine, no crazy acceleration or deceleration. Weight is under 2000 lbs. Homebuilt pontoon boat is 8’ wide but small frontal area: two 2’ dia pontoon hulls and wood deck with pvc railings...
  3. Video shows how eCVT works in a Toyota/Ford vehicle

    I would think the entirety would fall under the powertrain warranty.
  4. Another change I noticed in my 2023 vs my 2022 Maverick Hybrid

    Non hybrid vehicles engines are helped to slow on a downgrade by the compression of the off throttle engine. Because the hybrid’s engine is off when there is no throttle applied there would be no compression caused slowing of the vehicle. Ford engages the engine without fuel injection and...

    Michelin CrossClimate2 in summer, Bridgestone Blizzaks in winter. Been using Blizzaks for years on every vehicle. Live in Minnesota.

    It’s FIAT mechanically. Same chassis and power trains as FIAT 500L.
  7. Looking for rear window Vinyl Decals Suggestions?

    Sorry no. I spent a year after I got my Maverick working up designs. You couldn’t afford what I’d have to charge for a custom piece. I suggest looking for someone local, there are a lot of people with vinyl cutting equipment.

    I’m a member and have an 2022 XLT. Just got my vinyl graphic website up. Not a big company, working out of my basement. Have a whole section on designs for the Maverick. http://www.wildcorralgraphics.com/maverick/
  9. Air Bag Recall Effectiveness Questioned - Post Accident

    I worked at a car dealership, and if the insurance companies value the vehicle anything like a dealership, all your add-ons are for your own enjoyment, they add zero to trade in value.
  10. 2023 Hybrid after 1 month.

    Scroll through the menus on the right steering wheel spoke. I had to shut one selection off to get this screen.
  11. Maverick-Worth the wait-8 month review

    For me, the Maverick seats are among the best in 55 years of car ownership. I’m 74 now and the Maverick is the only vehicle that I’ve been in over the last 10 years that doesn’t require unfolding stiff joints after exiting the vehicle.
  12. Skinny and tall - why not?

    Your speedometer will likely be off.
  13. Does Hybrid Eco Mode make much MPG difference?

    Don’t use the 105 octane! It’s Flex Fuel which uses more alcohol to raise octane and the Maverick fuel system components are not made for high concentrations of alcohol. You’ll not only ruin fuel system components, but also see lower fuel economy. Up here in the North Country the winter blend...
  14. Dash cubby hole -- what's in yours? šŸ“ø

    Especially for Winter, a pair of jersey work gloves for pumping gas. Keeps my good gloves from picking up gas odor. Gloves are always handy in the cubby.
  15. The simple thing that Ford forgot

    I could but prefer analog. I also like keeping tabs on my fuel economy and you can’t have both at once.
  16. Maverick Mascot?

    Longhorn Steer
  17. Which one of you did this Brake Check!? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

    I just hit the hazard lights button and after two flashes turn it back off. Usually gets a tailgater to drop back.
  18. Rally Innovations Fog Lights in the works

    I wouldn’t hold my breath. Ford is removing fog lights on other vehicles as well. The new Mustang has no fog light option.
