On Tuesday my selling dealer did the ACCM recall/TSB for the Parasitic draw issue which causes the Deep Sleep Mode. So far so good as I had a bunch of notices this month. None so far. The real test will be later today when I do a 7 mile round trip. Lately that has been triggering the Deep Sleep...

Approaching Thanksgiving 2024 and almost 30K miles I must say I am satisfied with my vehicle. From day one mine has not had any major issues surface. Everything except the side airbags that has needed to be done, have been computer updates. I truly believe Ford is making progress in making...

Yesterday Karen and I went to Jamesport, MO to visit the Amish culture and businesses there. A beautiful day after a cold front came through. Stayed off I-35 going there. Took US 69 to Gallatin, MO then State Route 6 to Jamesport. Since MO passed a fuel tax increase, a lot of rural roads that...

Dear @Ford Motor Company It has now been a year and a half since I purchased my Maverick. Still 3 safety issues remain unresolved. On the fire safety recall it seems Ford is trying to just delay this and make it go away. Like the Powershift transmission fiasco. We need new engines or new...

What the headline asks.

It came in yesterday but I wasn't feeling well. I purchased a Steeda Strut Tower Brace. It came professionally wrapped,, as it is powder coated. It took about 30 minutes to install with 2 bolts, 2 spacers and 2 washers. Had to relocate a wiring harness. The Results: Took it out for a 30 mile...

The Maverick is now a year young. It has been reliable, no issues in day to day driving. Has only been to the dealer for recalls and TSB's. It's a easy vehicle to live with. Below are my pros and cons that are worth mentioning. Let's start with the Cons: Plastic panels that scratch real easy...

Went for the above mentioned TSB Tuesday. It was a positive experience, my service advisor Shawn got me in and out in bit under 2 hours. Brakes feel pretty much the same except for the exchange between the regenerative brakes and the friction brakes which is now smoother. I won't say perfect...

Went and washed the Maverick today. Went for a nice drive on a sunny winter afternoon. It was a drive mostly to remove moisture. There is a country lane close to my house with an older section of the road that has mottled pavement. The suspension did a great job on that section. Steered nice...

Last Saturday night on my 35 mile drive home was with a dead cold engine at 17°F . Usually on this drive on the combo of 8 miles of 60 mph country highways, 25 miles of Interstate that I drive with the cruise set at 68 mph and 2 miles of intown to get to my address. I set the heat to 68°F...

Yes time flies. The Maverick is approaching 5000 miles in 6 months. The powertrain is the reason you would buy it. The MPG's keep improving without driving like a ninny. The hybrid engine much appreciates 91 octane fuel. It runs smoother and gets better MPG (+4) using 91 octane E0. The...

Does the Hybrid Maverick have a heat pump for heating? Of does it use a resistive electrical heater or both? Probably been asked before, but I missed it. Curious because of some observations made on several recent trip in cooler weather.

I'll start it off with todays fill 547.00 miles / 13.477 gallons = 40.7 mpg 65% highway or interstate rest was <10mile trips in town. Price was after $1.10 in fuel saver rewards at grocery store. The indash display said 43.1 mpg

As the title says. My backorder was filled today. Hurry $53 in the door

Finally had a chance to take a decent drive today by myself. It was a beautiful day for a drive in the MIssouri River bottom on State Hwy 210 east of Kansas City Metro. This is a very flat road for about 35 mi with a 60 mph speed limit. There was the usual 20-30 mph Spring wind hitting me at...

picked up this morning. On order since July 1st

Got a call from the dealer and the Cactus Gray Hybrid XLT Lux is in. Going to the dealer Wednesday to check it out. Ordered on July 1st

My Cactus Gray Maverick is finally in Production 8 months (July 1, 2021 order) since ordering. Accessed the window sticker and all seems correct. Wishing good luck to all who are still waiting. Hoping for a Early April delivery.
