  1. Continental ProContact tires mileage?

    Guess I'm a little hard on tires, ( I like exercising the turbo getting up to speed) at about 12K the fronts were down to 2/32, the rear was still at 7/32, I didn't bother rotating because shortly after I purchased my Maverick I found a set of steelies take offs for winter use, so I had 4 new...
  2. Seat belt warning turned civilized???

    Holy crap, this works, it has been annoying me for 3-1/2 years, & all I had to do was buckle the rear belts, :facepalm:
  3. Got dissed at the Depot!

    You should have told him to get on the internet & listen to Angus Campbell's I95 song!
  4. Space White Metallic vs Desert Sand

    Space White if you are delivering auto parts or a bug exterminator, otherwise Desert Sand.
  5. OEM tires didn't last

    By the time you get to 4/32 you are going to be hydroplaning in the rain!
  6. Theory why Mavericks get rear-ended so much

    I think we just hear about it more because they are totaled from such minor impacts. I know blah blah blah safety, it shouldn't be that hard to build a vehicle that doesn't sacrifice itself to avoid a little whiplash. A stronger rear structure & better designed seats.
  7. What was the first thing you bought for your Maverick?

    I can't remember if it was the Rokblokz splash guards or the plug in CD player.
  8. “Sport Mode” extra gas cost for EcoBoost

    Try tow & haul mode for a month, the rpms are about 1/2 way between normal & sport, & the engine response is almost as good as sport.
  9. Resetting trip 1 only

    I double checked, I guess we are both right, the hour meter & the MPG screen does not reset, but the trip miles do, I was mainly looking at the lifetime MPG & didn't notice the miles have reset, I need to pay more attention.
  10. Resetting trip 1 only

    MIne has not reset in a little over 20K. There is probably a setting for this too.
  11. V-8's and V-6s from back In the day vs Stock Ecoboost and Tuned and or modified

    I know my Maverick will run a 14.6 stock at the track, a good tune & a better air box like an S&B should get you in the 13's. Of all the cars I had stock from the factory that were close, but not as quick were a 1975 T/A with a 400 4spd managed a 14.9 & a 1994 Cadillac DeVille with the northstar...
  12. Resetting trip 1 only

    I'm thinking it should only reset the trip you have displayed, in my case I have used trip 1 as lifetime mpg & it has never reset since new, I occasionally reset trip 2 for longer trips, & when I reset it, it only resets trip 2. I reset it by holding down the ok button until it resets & this...
  13. 1/4 Mile 93 vs 87 Lobo

    I was. I tried sport, tow & haul & normal modes, sport was the quickest.
  14. First modification to the truck: Pull F11 fuse - phantom drain

    I pulled this fuse a couple months after buying the Maverick, & in over 3 years I have never had any of the electrical or battery issues that so many on this site have had, might be something to it!
  15. Mirror in line of site. Added 6” to arm.

    I like this, I tried making something similar, it did remove the blind spot, but the mirror shook like crazy over every road imperfection, does this homemade one shake or is it stable?
  16. Does anyone else find that the ADAS Black Box and the resulting lower placement of the rearview mirror really obstruct your view in certain instances?

    It's the only think I dislike about my Maverick since day one, I tried putting 2 mirror stalks together & that put the mirror high enough, but the mirror shook over every bump making me nauseous. I did replace the standard 10" mirror with an 8" & that does make it less likely to miss a vehicle...
  17. 1/4 Mile 93 vs 87 Lobo

    Doesn't take that long, once the octane change has made it through the loop of fuel lines, the engine has adjusted. I notice the change in throttle response within 2 miles when changing fuel types.
  18. Driving by Braille: Stick-on tactile bumps to help locate & operate touch controls

    Well, Braille instructions are required by law at the bank drive through!:facepalm:
  19. Hello and good bye : ( Truck totaled before I could make my first post ....

    How hard could it be to design a framework that attaches to the vehicle & holds the bumper that could still crumple & be replaceable. I hope this is a design change when the Maverick gets it's major refresh in a few years.
  20. 1/4 Mile 93 vs 87 Lobo

    2022 XLT FWD.
