Well Friday I had my 1st Upstate New York drive through mountain roads, in fog, on a skating rink of ice - and didnt even realise I was driving on a sheet of ice from the fog. These pics are the last miles broke through the fog & realized I was driving an ice rink, & I was going the speed...

Wondering out loud if a business case could be made. Ford has already mated Ecoboost 2.0 to HF55 hybrid transmission in Lincoln Corsair PHEV, but not using the PTU & TFI units from Maverick, using rear electric motors, probably for weight/cost since Lincoln Corsair is not hauling a load & only...

Lincoln Corsair shares platform with Escape, reviews say seats are much more comfortable. Any chance they would drop in for Maverick driver seat?

EDIT: 200-250k miles within 10 year timeframe. I feel like the modern thermoplastics will be able to see a surprising amount of working hours over a 10 year time period, but then unlike aluminum or steel they still seem to degrade & rapidly after 10 years turn brittle or deform, whether you...

Haven't really tested this brand actual chip protection by throwing rocks at my hood, but 3 months into owning it I had 2 small tiny chips on front of my hood (Im a road warrior field service) I bought this DIY ceramic coating off walmart.com because it had a decent # of good reviews AND it was...

Anyone done a truck carbine mount for Maverick? Beretta Cx4 is 29.7 inches total length approx 7 lbs polymer frame, I'm waiting on an SBR short barrel Form license and gonna have 4 inches of barrel cut to 12 inches. Length will go from 29.7 to 25.7 inches, notably shorter & lighter than my 9.5...

(PSA EDIT: to order the right thing from Rock Auto, search "Motocraft XY75WQL" Rock Auto takes out the Ford Part# dashes) This is some extra information for people thinking about substituting the expensive proprietary Motocraft XY-75W-QD in the RDU (rear drive unit aka rear differential in AWD...

EDIT: Problem was a leaking oilpan gasket after oil change, seems it wasnt seated properly, young new technician. But only the 2nd oil-change ever, finding this strange, I've never replaced oil drainplug gaskets during oil change, I guess I need to buy one of those $40 valved oil drain plugs...

EDIT: added a pic of my PTU magnet after 11k miles holding a LOT of breakin gunk! So for my 2nd oil change, I decided to also change the PTU & RDU power takeoff unit & rear differential unit fluid. Went to an independent shop, stay away from chain instant oil changers -- all about fastest money...

So after 2 months waiting I finally got in the @RIVAL 4x4 skidplate, quite light actually, aluminum but a good 1/4inch thick, no shoping mall curb-hopping teenage driver can take out my Mav now. Maybe we can setup a Maverick class rally stage, need a snorkel next, just because dont ask why...

I'm seeing some perplexing advice to questions on "what is the largest tire that will fit the 17 inch wheels without rubbing" that seem to indicate people giving advice with no idea what the #s on a tire mean. Maverick standard tire on 17inch wheel is: 225/65r17 Some people are assuming the...

Live data from my Blue Driver obd2 reader. Blue Driver WAS amazing up to my last vehicle 2016 Honda CRV, scanning your OBD2 & giving you all sorts of information on your vehicle drivetrain, listing TSBs & recalls, giving you a full Maintenance schedule. 2025 Maverick I got none of that, but...

I did my 1st 2025 hybrid AWD 1st oil-change at 4334 miles, 90% highway miles 50-65mph, no heavy acceleration just alot of hypermilling, if these pictures load you can see the oil is very dark brown & viscosity seems a fair amount thicker than 0W-20, I should have checked it new, but the factory...

Seems the SC turbo performance model is having a number of failures with their performance DCT. Dual-clutch transmissions & budget cooling systems built to a price-point don't tend to go well together.

c Phone giving me problems, this is just a quick n dirty rust & moisture proofing DIY undercoating I did after watching some YouTube videos on DIY undercoating. Why do it? Look under your truck with a flashlight at those plastic electrical connectors to your brakes, taillights & rear...
