I swear, the child safety industry has a deal with the auto industry. Every year, Car seats get larger and more unwieldy under the pretense of "Safety." The larger/wider the car seat, the more justification a parent has for a new, larger, more expensive vehicle. Look at an average...

So the 200a I quoted was what I knew from the last gen (Fusion/CMax) Hybrid DC/DC step down converter. I honestly didn't know the rating of the new liquid cooled system. The service manual doesn't list an official "rating", just that the converter is capable of delivering "Up to" 265a. To me...

I saw that, but they list 2020- Escape, so it should be good. Couldn't hurt to email the Mfr first, though.

So, there's a company that makes a SiriusXM tuner that plugs into the USB in and is controlled through the factory radio. Seems pricy, but might be worth it for a fully integrated look. 2018+ Ford Satellite Radio Adapter & Tuner | VAIS Technology

This thing? That is the ambient light sensor. Used for the auto lights and factored into calculating desired vent temp for the HVAC.

Ford just went through a very expensive and very preventable recall on Fusions, Milan's and MKZ/Zephyrs because aged brake fluid caused their ABS modules to internally seize. Ford got caught up as responsible since they didn't specify a service interval for the fluid. Between that and the new...

Am I the only person in the world who doesn't hate dealership emblems. If I have a good experience with my dealer, I have no problem advertising my good experience to others. I even customized the dealer badge on my wife's Flex to match the custom paint.

Zero concern here. Working on Ford hybrids since 2006, owned one personally since 2014. Have never even replaced a Ford Hybrid battery, much less see one incinerate itself. I took a mandated hybrid veh electrical system safety and handling course for Ford and have yet to see or even hear about...

So, the door wiring is completely different with or without one touch up/down. Without one touch, the window switches are hardwired to the motors and the 3 passenger doors are wired directly to the drivers window switch. One touch up window equipped trucks have individual control modules for...

Just 4 clips holding the roof console up. Get behind the back edge with your fingernails and pull it down to release it from the headliner. Someone else posted w good photos. Auto dim rear view mirror Install tip to remove center console | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum...

Honestly, get one of the 12v to Mini USB (or micro USB, depending on dashcam) kits and wire it in to the overhead console Map light power feed. That's what I've done on my 2 current vehicles and it saves having wires run all the way around the dash. It's pin 1, Yellow/Green, on the dome light...

It just replaces the Front 12v power point with a cigar lighter compatible 12v power point. Then it gives a cupholder ashtray. The only difference between a 12v power point and the Cigar lighter power point is a bimetallic strip attached to the 12v + center terminal. The strip is there to make...

So, they definitely don't shut off with the key, but I'm 90% certain they are controlled by the Battery Saver circuit. That means the BCM shuts them off after the key's been off and the truck left alone for about 30 mins, and it comes live again as soon as the doors are opened, unlocked or the...

So, IDK if I'm reading this right, but would Ford be flipping OEM spray in bedliners to drop in to fill orders? I heard something about that and went to verify my build still showed a spray in. I clicked on it at it now shows a drop in. If that's the case, I'd rather Ford omit the liner...

But I really do like that vintage look.

This is bout what I was thinkin of

Looking it over, there are only 2 seat hinge/latches. One on each side. I don't think you'd be able to split the bench without fabricating 2 additional hinges for what would become the inboard edge.

You mean, something like this? Honestly, I wouldn't hate a Maverick in Area 51 with a big white stripe and thin navy pinstripe splitting the two. Add a small lift with oversized white letter tires on XL steelies, and I think we're in business.

Ford's hybrid transitions have been a major selling point since the Gen II was introduced for 2010. Read any comparison test between a Ford and a comparable Toyota hybrid, the Ford's are much smoother. The gas/hybrid transition in my 2013 CMax is almost impossible to detect if you're not looking...

The hybrid still has conventional auto trans creep. It's not necessarily as strong as it might be in a conventional, torque converter automatic, but it's definitely still there. One of the main advantages about Ford hybrids, going back to 2005, is how "normal" they are. Ford engineers have...
