Same problem with my 2024 Hybrid XL. Android phone will disconnect and reconnect constantly, along with the dash cam stopping recording and restarting constantly. Phone disconnects even if the dash cam is removed. Only 7K miles on truck, has been happening since new, before and after recall...

My 2024 Hybrid XL will disconnect and connect to my Android phone constantly while driving. My dash cam also will stop recording and restart (same with a different dash cam and both continuously record with no stop if powered up away from the truck). Only 7,000 miles on truck and has been doing...

Great job! I posted a thread on April 6, 2022 (Custom Fabricated Cover) for this issue with photos and size but you've taken it to a much better level than I had done. Congratulations. I had made it for my 2022 hybrid that I since sold and have a 2024 hybrid now that I need to do on it, may...

I wanted to find what it would cost to transport a newly purchased Maverick from an out of state dealer. I made the mistake of going online and searching. In order to get a quote I had to provide email and phone number. I gave email and phone number to 2 (two) sites. I have been getting...

I can't say for sure but there would definitely be "engine assembly lubricants" used in engine assembly that may be in the oil. I doubt any "break in oil" is used. I don't see any advantage changing oil early. Engine manufacturing has improved greatly over the years with less metal...

People giving opinions, as the saying goes; opinions are like butts, everyone has one. Why not follow manufacturers recommendations? Why ask "opinions" of anyone you don't know (including mechanics)? I'm a retired Ford Dealer tech/service advisor (50yrs in auto repair including independent...

You are correct. Driver (20 yrs old) and mother (owner of car) both don't have anything but a history of tickets that have been changed to "muffler" violations. My best hope is for traffic Court to make them pay restitution to State Farm which will take years most likely. I'll get my...

On Dec 23rd my 2022 Hybrid was hit by an (1) unlicensed driver (2) uninsured vehicle (3) unregistered vehicle (4) left scene of accident. NOT arrested and found out yesterday was charged with Careless and Imprudent instead of "leaving scene of accident". I had followed the car for 20 minutes...

I live in St. Charles MO, my selling dealer and prior 20 year employer had no interest in buying my 22 so I had contacted a few St. Louis area Ford dealers and the highest offer was $21k. I contacted Joe Machens Ford in Columbia Mo.(100 miles away) and got an immediate acceptance of my request...

I did the same, Sold my 22 Hybrid XL with 11,8xx miles with Co-Pilot 360, factory SIBL and Hitch for $23,500 to a dealer (best I offer I got). I had added cruise switches and programmed, a tail gate power lock and front and rear mud flaps. Had been hit on drivers side rear door and fender ($7k...

I'm in a suburb of St. Louis. It took a month for my 2022 to arrive after it was built to arrive at dealer. - The dealer had info showing the 2024 truck was in the "trim line" on Feb 3rd (dealer said that meant built) but Fords info online showed "scheduled" week of Feb 5th, "in production" Feb...

You must mean July 19, 2023. Be patient, it's worth it. Sold my 22 to a dealer and it was sold in 3 days. Got 135 miles on my 24 now. Loved the Velocity Blue 22, getting used to the 24 Atlas Blue.

I got my 2024 XL Hybrid Atlas Blue on Feb 27th. Sold my 2022 XL Hybrid Velocity Blue with 11k miles on March 7th. Next you should add is a Power Tail Gate Lock, added one to my 22 and have parts on order (lock assembly and wire harness). It's an easy change, two things that help, tape the new...

After reading all the comments it's as I've believed for a long time; ask 10 people the same question, you'll get 10 different answers. After working over 50 years in shops (both independent and dealerships) I can tell you the last person you should ask for advice is a mechanic. Each one has...

Sold my 22 XL Hybrid Velocity Blue with 11,8xx miles on March 7th, already miss it. Hope the 24 XL Hybrid Atlas Blue will grow on me but doubt it. Wife loves the Atlas Blue. Guess I'll just sit out in the garage and stare at my Purple 57 Chevy.

- So are you recommending changing oil every 500-1000 miles? If not, what is the purpose of changing the oil only the first time at that mileage? As you state "with modern tolerances and engine builds" (virtually eliminating any metal wear) why recommend changing (removing) the moly-based...

Many engine manufacturers recommend NOT changing oil early due to the extra additives/lubricants that are used in engine assembly. I don't believe there is any type of break in oil but I'm sure there are lubricants used in engine assembly. Replace a camshaft or crankshaft (lifters, bearings)...

Yes, the Hybrids do come with a full-size spare tire however it's not the same size as the original equipped tires are. Being that no hybrid is AWD a different size tire for temporary use isn't a big issue.

- Let me try to help everyone out. There may be a "diminished value" claim against an insurance Co. if the other party IS At FAULT and it is THEIR insurance Co. that is paying the bill. - Unfortunately and without question the other driver was at fault but with them having no insurance the...

Have a dashcam now, everyone should have one. Agree also about never pursue but I knew it was a young girl and didn't speed following her. Crazy thing was one time she pulled into a Dairy Queen and stopped, the State Patrol dispatcher said "block her in if you can". I thought no way and she...
