Last Saturday I woke up to these errors from the Ford app:
And since the truck seemed to be in crisis, I wound up traveling out of town with my old Civic (NO heat and drafty). When I got back, I saw this update:
I was confident that these were just caused by the OTA update about one day...
I'm down in Florida this week visiting some family, and wound up driving one of their cars from Jacksonville to Tampa. On the drive I commented that it felt like their transmission was going out. The car would jerk under just a slight change in throttle.
... The transmission was fine. Just a...
The Maxzina engine bay insulation that installs to the underside of the hood uses bolts to clamp metal bars against the cutouts in the hood. After installation I can see a dent in the hood from where the bolt pushed against it. I advise you to be cautious if you want to install one of these...
2025 Hybrid AWD XL.
I've seen this out of the corner of my eye a couple times now, but this is the first time I caught it on the new dashcam. When the engine cuts off the headlights seem to flicker, and from the video I can see it's just the driver side headlight.
Is anyone else experiencing...
Coming from an old car to this truck, I know what a difference years of little micro scratches and pocks in the windshield does to visibility and rain shedding. I'd like to postpone that as long as possible for my Maverick, so I spent a pretty penny on a year-and-model-specific protective layer...
I just installed a dashcam, and popped the passenger side trim off to route the cable. Pressing it back on and making sure to try to seat the two clips though still leaves the trim crooked and not flush. There must be something I'm missing here, and would appreciate any advice!
Not sure if...
I saw posts recently about how the brake hold feature is just for lazy/distracted driving. I don't disagree, but did notice something that may help explain why it exists.
With the hybrid coach on, I can see that more electricity is used while stopped if I leave my foot on the pedal, likely...
Just checking before I try making my own. I made an outline for the front side windows, but the windshield's curve makes it more difficult to model from a picture.
I live in the southeast and am not a big fan of cooling down a boiling cabin with AC when I jump in, so this tint job is an effort to help keep things cooler.
Started by taking a picture of the front window and tracing it out in Inkscape.
Then used a vinyl cutter to try and cut out the...
Hi all,
Got my Maverick XL last week. This is the first vehicle I've owned with enough paint left to bother washing. I'd appreciate hearing your recommendations on how you wash your truck. Should I get one of those sponges on a stick to reach the roof? How do I not just grind dirt into the...
Hi,
I picked up my Maverick earlier this week, and while going through the paperwork I noticed that 1) the $500 deposit I put on the truck is missing and 2) Nowhere in the purchase agreement or any other documents they gave me is the employee pricing plan listed.
I'm going to ask them to solve...
I stumbled across this video while looking at Maverick reviews, and I think some of it is really good, and some of it doesn't quite land for Mavericks.
First off, watching the video does have me questioning things like maintenance costs with an engine + hybrid system, and longevity +...
So I bought two Mavericks this weekend...
I want an XL with the 4K towing package, but there just aren't any in stock at dealerships. My local dealer sales guy offered to custom order one for me and I'd just have to eat the 6 month delay. I agreed and put a $500 deposit down.
The next day a...
Hi all,
Some quick context: I'm just barely able to afford and justify a Maverick new. I'm enamored with the hybrid concept and looking for base prices that can tow: so XL hybrid with the 4K towing package. I've contacted a handful of dealers in the area, and only one is giving me the time of...
I've never stepped foot inside a dealership before, but after work today I went over to the local Ford lot and looked around. A sales rep told me to pick from the lot (no tow kits, a handful of hybrid XL/XLTs) and hurry in order to receive the employee discount. But by the time I left he'd...
