My25MY Mav was on dealer lot by March 2025. My salesman held it for me for a month before I could return to Louisville to pick up late April 2025. So it was an early build? I've been backing trailers, travel trailers, 5th wheels, since we started RVing in 1981 so I don't miss it. Had this...
I had a 70' Maverick, 2-door, gold color, then a 1971 4-dr Maverick this same green color. That 6 cyl engine was so incredibly simple to work on & so tough.
Not unless you have the trailer assist feature as you show. Glen Baker in post #5 shows the location I have - 25MY Lariet Hybrid, 4K tow package, but No trailer assist. Auto Hold button can obviously be located several different locations. Maybe they move "Auto Hold" depending on paint color 🤔.
Forscan can permatently delete it. I've done it on four Ford vehicles ranging in years from 2016-2025. No hardware change. If you have tow package I've heard plugging in a trailer dongle (7-pin or 4-pin) will accomplish same thing, truck thinks you're towing a trailer, inhibiting Auto Shutoff. I...
I've been driving 64 years, 1st car a 56' Ford, many cars since then, mostly Fords. Some good, some not. My 1st Hybrid was a 2008 Fird Escape, drove 9 years, 95k miles, still had original 12v battery, original tires barely worn, two minor recalls. Likely the best, most reliable of all my rides...
I don't find it amazing, any topic related to how the eCVT works relative to the P-R-N-L-D selections, as well as drive mode characteristics is great. Glad it's available on this forum for those interested. Like James, I've been married since 1968.
I also am conscious of the Park Brake Pawl, especially after the Mav recall on this. I prefer foot brake, then Neutral, Park Brake, then exit. No dependence on just the Parking brake pawl holding. Holds true on other vehicles besides Maverick. Some will argue that's a lot steps when you could...
I disabled seatbelt warning with ForScan immediately after purching my 25MY hybrid in 2025, so front/rear seatbelt warnings are non existent. But we wear them always. I'm now guessing after your comment that the default seatbelt warning may mask (override) the msg to return to previous mode, so...
I'm exactly like you, drive very conservatively & use Eco mode mostly for regen. As far as Eco by default, no way yet to change default I'm aware of. However, after pressing 'Start' Button, a 2 second msg pops up on my 25MY screen asking if I want to return to Eco mode "Yes" or "No". You can...
Double "ditto" on Slippery mode vs Neutral. I seldom use, but it coasts like a sled on snow. I've gotten used to the shifter, appreciate the tiny space it consumes. Every vehicle has a different layout; just a matter of adjusting.
25 Lariet Hybrid: reporting:
1) Global windows Open & Close from key fob.
2) seat belt chimes/reminders.
3) Eliminate Triple Ding at Startup.
4) Auto lock Initial Value Disable {Doesn't lock doors Every time you exit}.
5) Headlamps Position at Ignition - change to Last Known. FYI, I found...
Exactly, utilizing technology features when in your favor. Turning off when not. Constantly fighting against lane keeping when trying to "ride the edge" might not stress the steering components? But stresses me. But it's great on most long road trips.
