Sales data wouldn’t. Just because one can finance it, doesn’t mean one can afford it.

Just pay more! Why didn’t I think of that? The point I was making was that Ford is selling a lot of them not because the Mav is so amazing (it’s fine) but because economic, regulatory and corporate policies have created an environment where a vehicle like the Mav is a hot ticket item because...

Given car prices and interest rates, it's the max of what the average American can afford these days. When it was reintroduced in 2022, the XL was supposed to start at $19,995. Today, the XL starts at $28,145 - a 40% increase in 3 years! $30K for an entry level pickup is a failure of economic...

I have mine set to the furthest distance and both braking and acceleration are both pretty aggressive

Yes it does. The braking is imo rather aggressive even when traffic doesn't pop in front of me. My assumption is that this is a result of a limitation of the distance at which the radar can detect an object in front of you. I could be wrong but that's the only reason I can imagine that they...

Seems average, maybe slightly above but I wouldn't say you got hosed.

Saw that post. Assumed it was as speculative as what I was thinking might be a possible cause. Either way, still a gross design defect imo. A bracket that doesn't allow the exhaust pipe to be redirected upwards seems like it's in order. Of course, it will take a threat of recall for that to...

Question for @Tremor1942, @Snox801 or anyone else that has had this happen - do you park your vehicle with the rear tires against a curb and idle for moderate periods of time? That's really the only way I could see this not being a design defect. If you do that, then the exhaust gasses would be...

It's more like 3 seconds for mine

That is crazy. I remember the same day I brought my Mav home looking at it and not seeing the exhaust pipe and thinking that was strange, then crawling under and noticing the design and thinking to myself what an odd design choice that was. I shrugged assuming Ford had probably tested it...

I've not tried pressing resume from a standstill once the ACC disengages. Will give that a shot. Great tip if it works!

I think OP is talking about ACC. ACC which I use frequently attempts to keep the vehicle rolling rather than coming to a complete stop. If it does come to a complete stop however because traffic is at a standstill, then after a few second of sitting still, maybe 3-6, message will display on the...

Honestly sitting in the drivers seat, I don’t notice it at all. I’m also farsighted so that might have something to do with it. If my passenger takes issue with it, well they can walk.

Samsung phones would use Android Auto but yes, it supports both CarPlay and Android Auto. As to whether or not it specifically would support the S22, I can’t say definitively because I don’t have that phone to test with, but it should. it’s not very expensive. Give it a go and if you don’t like...

I’m only a few days into it but so far it seems to work just fine. I jump in the car and drop my phone on the charging pad. I have an automation configured to automatically turn on Bluetooth when my phone is charging and it turn it off when my phone stops charging. By the time I have my seatbelt...

To each their own. it’s just a 12v socket. I don’t smoke and even if I did, are smoker packages still a thing?

Yeah it did. I should have used a towel or a proper pry tool. I didn’t expect the plastic to be quite that soft. nothing stays perfect forever and I sure didn’t buy it to admire it.

2024 Maverick Tremor. Since it has Sync3, I don’t have wireless CarPlay so I bought a wireless CarPlay dongle. The dongle is USB-A but comes with a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Since all of my devices and charging cables are USB-C I decided to use the USV-A port for the dongle so that I could keep...
