  1. Pulling / towing another vehicle with Maverick?

    I wouldn't do it. The Maverick doesn't weigh a lot and almost any vehicle you put behind it will pushing it around. I flat towed our Mini Cooper (<3000 lb) with my Bronco which weighs more than the Maverick, and it was not a fun pull.
  2. Lariat Envy?

    I have a 360 camera on my Bronco. It is a neat trick but I don't find that it is overly useful. Definitely wouldn't pay extra for it if that is the only 'want' you on the Lariat list.
  3. Conditioning fake leather seats in a Lariat

    Don't have one but for all my vehicles I use Mothers VLR that is suitable for leather, vinyl and plastic. Says it cleans and conditions.
  4. Maverick for Motorhome Towing

    The owner's manual has been updated online, at least the HTML version. The PDF version should be updated in the near future. The HTML version DOES NOT have the AWD hybrid exclusion for flat towing, so that means it is just like the FWD hybrid and can be flat towed.
  5. Used Mavericks with Engine Replaced

    The two I saw at different dealerships at different times were both Ford warranty replacements. I didn't research it more than that, but from one of the posts above it sounds like it was a bearing issue. CarFax actually states that it was a warranty replacement and might reference the recall...
  6. Used Mavericks with Engine Replaced

    I'm still a ways off from purchasing a Maverick that would be used primarily as a toad for my RV and possibly a replacement for the trailer I pull with my Bronco (truck bed). What has been the experience of folks who have had their 2.5L engines replaced under warranty, either purchasing used or...
  7. Engine replacement completed

    The CarFax will show it as a long block replacement. I've now seen two used Mavericks at dealers that showed the long block replacement.
  8. Flat towing a lowered Maverick Hybrid

    A lowered Maverick should pull the same as a stock height. Just make sure you include a drop hitch as necessary to keep you tow bar flat. Also watch road debris that your RV will clear but your lowered vehicle might not. I currently flat tow a Mini Cooper so I'm in the same boat as a lowered Mav.
  9. Two New Recalls

    You back in. For large trucks, you gain an advantage with a backed in truck because your steering is at the entrance to the spot and allows you to maneuver immediately. If you have to back out of a space, you can get stuck with having your steering lagging the rear wheels. I learned very...
  10. Unexpected - Can't use my Harbor Freight ramps?

    A couple of wooden blocks is all it takes. For those that have lived with a lowered ride, you may have to do some block stacking to get on your ramps. If you scrape going over speed bumps, you know what I mean.
  11. Flat towing the maverick hybrid behind an RV?

    That doesn't jive with the Ford website. Build and Price of the 2025 shows both the FWD and AWD hybrids.
  12. Maverick Hybrid Climbed Mt Washington Today

    Damn am I starting to have senior moments. Ugh!!!! BTW, fixed my post.
  13. Maverick Hybrid Climbed Mt Washington Today

    Probably application of engine braking along with service brakes has zero impact on the engine reliability or life.
  14. Better hybrid performance in really hot weather-

    Why do you crack the vents and not open them fully to allow good airflow across the evaporator and into the cabin? You're artificially reducing the capacity of the A/C system; granted it would reduce the power drawn by the compressor but you aren't adequately conditioning the space. Seems odd.
  15. My thoughts on CV axles - possible design flaw? (self replacement, tear down, tips on DIY-ing)

    In reviewing this thread, the nay-sayers sound a lot like the same folks that chimed in on the new Bronco threads about failing 2.7L engines back in 2021. All the same crap while others just wanted to put some documentation together / have shared experiences on what was happening with zero out...
  16. '22 XLT on 20" Wheels and Silvers | Swift Coilovers

    How much of a drop did you get? I love the look.
  17. Hybrid Fire in the Garage - ever think about it?

    You might want to do more research. These statistics have been called into question and the quoted source is not correct. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a40163966/cars-catching-fire-new-york-times-real-statistics/
  18. Who is the target market for Ford Maverick

    Everyone forgets us. Jumped from Millennial / Gen Z straight to Boomer.
  19. Has anybody here owned an EcoBoost engine for +- 100,000 miles?

    Someone on the Bronco 6G forum has 100k on his 2.3L Bronco with no issues.
