We just did about a 300 mile drive down the Central Valley. Judging from the appearance of our windshield, we must have made a significant reduction in the Central Valley mosquito population. After a while I got a warning on the instrument screen that the front camera was obscured. I didn't...

WE love our maverick. I ordered 9/22 no options. With only a 50% chance of getting our order filled, I did not want to complicate things. The one option that would have been very handy for me was the cameras that showed what was near the 4 corners. I do not have real depth perception so...

I ordered our 23 in 9/22. Delivered 8/23. Aware of the inability of Ford to fill all hybrid orders, we did not take any options which might put us back in line if there was some part shortage. It turns out though, that while I love our Maverick, I have a biological depth perception...

Seen yesterday in Mazamitla Mexico. This truck in my estimate the exact same size as a Maverick. Same height. Same hood length and height. Same cabin size. Same bed side. It is a turbo. It is called "Montana." It's a Chevy.

I have an observation and a question. There is the green light, top center of control panel that comes on when truck is braked to a stop. I've had our truck for 18 months and this is the first time it has come on. What changed? I did a 9k service and a couple recall fixes (wipers, rear...

A couple nights ago, at about 4am, I heard a honking sound. Sounded like our horn. I went out the front door but not out the front gate because I was a bit under dressed. I wasn't sure if it was our alarm or a nearby neighbor. I could see our truck when the alarm honking was going on. But...

We are close to our first service, about 13 months after receiving truck, at about 7k miles. The sales end of the dealer we bought from were fine to work with. But when I looked into the service side, and saw the customer reviews, which were terrible, I decided to do the service at a different...

How long do they last and do they poop out suddenly or with warning?

This image at another thread does not seem right to me. It looks like photo trickery. Does another have other evidence in the way of a photo that shows the relative size? In the photo below if the Mav. is 6' wide, the truck on the right would be 11' wide. Doubtful.

I have an observation and a question. Observation: Decided to fill up at Costco. They only have the low grade regular and premium. So got premium for 4.79/gal. That's about a dollar less than the medium grade I usually get at ordinary gas stations. What is surprising is the gas milage. I...

Traveling on the interstate now and then we get a message on the screen something like this: "Speed Check Ahead." Then soon there is a progress bar on the bottom of the screen. What is this? thanks, Donald

I see clay is somehow used in making vehicle look nice. When I think of clay I think of a mineral that is made of small particles which can abrade. Does it wear the finish to use a clay for polishing?

I'm having a relationship with our '23 XLT. This morning, while I'm in the living room having coffee, it sent a message to my cell phone. It said one of our tires was seriously low on air. Right. I went out and looked and it all looked ok. Then I had to move the truck from one side to the...

Our 23 Xlt like most has a rear facing light on the roof. We have a window that when I am sitting doing something I don't need to describe, allows me to see our truck from the rear. Last night there was a tiny red light in that group of lights shining. An LED I'm sure. Tonight it is not on...

Taking into account a report that the fob key is a source of theft vulnerability for sophisticated theft groups, I noticed one comment that said that hitting the lock key on the fob twice, which make the horn beep, cuts off the vulnerability by stopping the fob from emitting its call to the...

Howdy, 23 XLT. It happened that my wife's phone was the first to pair with the Mav. Wonderful how it aids travel navigation. My phone is not paired. What I would like to know is whether it can know 2 phones and just let me select between them or whether I have to have only one phone paired...

New to Ford Pass. At first it would not work on my phone, though I got an email that all was set up. Then I had the brilliant idea to quite my phone and then re-open it. Works find now. I have a question about the maps portion. Is that close or long range? Not easy for someone not entitled...

We've had our truck almost a week. Dealer prepped it very nice. They probably waxed it. The last time I bought a car (~25 years ago) I tried to keep the paint in good shape by giving it an occasional paste wax job. I went to auto zone a couple days ago and looked at the wax area. There must...

No options. Add LineX SIBL. This truck is so much nicer than I thought it would be. Weird to buy a car, no test drive, no sit inside, then wait 1 year (minus 2 weeks) to drive if off the lot. I also want to put a good word in for the San Leandro Ford Store. I'm told that as dealers go they...

Our Mac is sitting and waiting for shipment. So I'm working through preparations like insurance, Bedliner, and reading (555p!) manual. I'm stunned at the level of detail in the electronics of a simple truck. Last time I bought a car was 24.5 years ago, and I was stoked that it had something...
