Thanks for finding a solution and posting it!
With or without Android Auto running, my Mav would disconnect and reconnect my Galaxy A10 at exactly 90 seconds into a call (not at 89 nor 91 seconds). So, I would use the phone in speaker mode while stuffed in my shirt pocket. Turning Bluetooth...
#1 Fun to drive! 250 HP, 8 speed transmission almost as smooth as a CRT & light curb weight makes it nimble, and AWD climbs steep and soft dirt road hills.
#2 Small enough! Fits in garage, and the bed is close to the ground and easy to load and unload.
This is an interesting issue to me because both my '24 Mav and my '19 Edge have very similar if not identical AWD PTUs, 2.0 EB, and 8 speed transmission configurations. I like my Edge drive train and that was one of the reasons I bought the Mav with the AWD and EB. My '19 Edge has about 90K...
I love it! Please post a picture of it in your cubby! Then let me know I can send you a few bucks to get one from you, especially if it comes in tan, brown, or Bodacious yellow 🐂
A bronco is just a horse. Maverick is bovine alright, and bull riding is far more extreme than a bucking bronco!

Bed mat and tonneau. The bed is just a big car trunk for me. I don't need heavy duty. A rubber mat keeps stuff from sliding around.
A colored SIBL or mat would be favorable. I would rather the truck paint color than black.
Try a different phone. I have a Samung that does not like my Maverick. During a phone call it disconnects from BT every 90 seconds then reconnects, over and over, but only during the call. It stays connected streaming music or doing neither. Another Samsung, a different model, stays...
My XL Eco AWD is nearly perfect for me and I expect to keep it at least 10 years. I waited a long time for a truck this much fun. I don't need all the leather and flashy options. My Edge has the flashy options. I sort of wish the XL had power mirrors, but that is all. The steelies that...
For the eco boost, an AGM battery is neceasary. The charging voltage is significantly higher, over a volt more, than for a flooded cell battery and Ford designs the charging system for the AGM. You may or may not be able to change the charging voltage with Forscan, but don't count on it. AGM...
My Mav seems to be the exception. No Ford app.
But your note to use the speaker button does get to the radio options. Many thanks! Next I should read the owner's manual...
Thanks for the tip! The Ford app is not in my car yet. Must not have been installed at the factory, at least on my '24 XL. I will definitely find and install it!
I spent 4x on my dongle. Works well but $10 is better.
Only thing with Android Auto is that I need to unplug the wire or dongle, or quit the app, just to turn on the AM/FM radio. Grrr. After the radio is on I can restart Android. It can go from radio to streaming music under Android but not...
Android Auto using Google Maps with satellite view selected is on my screen most of the time I am out of town, even when maps is not set to navigate anywhere at all. And the scale is usually zoomed out about 5 notches from the default. Just the overhead view of the area shows me what I want to...
Keep the cabin air filter! The name "cabin filter" is a misnomer. It is actually an "air conditionioner evaporator filter" that protects higher efficiency closely spaced cooling fins from clogging with dust. Cars made without filters have lower efficiency (less coolong) evaporator coils with...
A 400W inverter will run from a 15A 12V socket. Just be careful to plug less than 150W appliances into it. Higher loads will inconvenience you with a blown 15A fuse.
Another perspactive of tire pressure is that the springiness of the tires is part of the total suspension concept. The springs and shock absorbers, or struts as the design may be, absorb the small dips and humps in the road, up to a few inches, and the tires absorb the smaller bumps the size...
I like your Yakima bed rack! I will consider them for my Maverick.
Having hauled a few 16 and 17 ft canoes on very small cars including a Honda Civic I found that the bow line becomes almost unnecessay if I secure the canoe's center yoke to the door pillars between the front and rear doors...
