As I observed in this thread, the hybrid Maverick rarely runs the engine at Calculated Engine Load of higher than 70%, comparing to the 2017 Prius I owned which regularly ran at or above 95% load nearly any time the engine was above 1300 RPM. Hypothesis: the larger engine, with the same...

Carista does work, but doesn’t provide the same depth of customization as FORScan. I forget at the moment what it does allow changing, but it wasn’t much. Works fine as a scanner though

For those asking about Wi-Fi, in my 2025 XLT the Wi-Fi option doesn't work after pulling fuse 11, so mine is, in theory, totally disconnected. To my knowledge Bluetooth still works, though I prefer a wired connection for Carplay regardless, which doesn’t provide Internet access to the truck...

Given I had to install a virus onto my computer to run Forscan, ehh, yeah, I'm not doing any banking on it, that's a given. (Yes I am referring to Windows as a virus. I mean, it does meet the definition of a Trojan Horse these days...)

He says, posting a picture of it literally seeing the light of day. :p

If the Eco mode on the Maverick behaved like it did in the '17 Prius I owned, (reduced throttle sensitivity in the lower half of the curve, regen unchanged from Normal) I would call this person broken and revoke their license. ;) Given how the Maverick instead doesn't change throttle...

Another thing that would be nice to tune, and I'm more certain must be tunable: accelerator responsiveness in Eco mode. Like my Prius, the Maverick has Normal, Eco and Sport modes, and while Normal and Sport modes act identical to their counterparts, Eco mode does not make any discernible...

The manual for the scale is much appreciated, as it contains valuable information, though the pictures are a bit hard to read, so here is a link to the PDF version

Generally when when my SG III reports 70% load, I tend to believe it. 😉

I wasn't referring to higher RPMs, but rather lower. But the Maverick in L, or even not in L, after a sustained downhill run that fills the battery to the pre-defined upper limit, will spin the engine up to as high as the redline for engine braking. In my Prius, the same short block was also...

No, I meant the calculated load value (generic PID 04) and/or absolute load value (generic pid 43). Think of the same torque demand, of a fixed road speed, elevation, wind resistance, etc., but in a traditional powertrain. Downshift one gear, engine load reduces, RPM increases. Upshift one...

As someone who listens to the podcast put out by Blackstone laboratories, I will echo (paraphrase) their advice: "you can't tell the state of the oil by it's color, except when it's strawberry milkshake" I think most people would be shocked to learn that not only is the oil not bad at 10k...

Currently in getting bed-liner, but I'll see about some pictures Wednesday or Thursday. ;)

That is not something I had thought of before, that the different engines may have significantly different power bands. I will admit to not having experience with Toyota's larger (and more directly comparable) A25A-FXS powertrain, so I don't know if it behaves similarly to the HF55.

No, for a fixed work demand, increasing RPM reduces calculated engine load, while reducing RPM increases calculated load, up to the point that you reach 100% and then the engine bogs down. Since the eCVT can adjust gear ratio near infinitely within the upper and lower bounds, it can add load to...

Hello, new to the forums and the Maverick, but not hybrids, I have previously owned a ‘17 Prius. I am also one of *THOSE* people who ran dual ScanGauge II and obsessed over the little details of how the thing worked, and comparing the two, it seems like Ford left some efficiency on the table...
