  1. Megaohm external speaker bypass fake noise

    Anyone install this? The video on the website is for an f-150 not a Maverick, ive been at it for 2 hours.
  2. I went to see the 112,000 mile Maverick! Wear & tear condition report.

    I know a guy who is a sod salesman here in Arizona and he puts on those kind of miles, and he gets a new truck every year.
  3. Maverick hybrid gas vs millage

    I know in Phoenix ALL the gas, including Diesel comes up from a pipeline in the Gulf of California to a set of common tanks, which ALL the gas companies use to fill their stations with.
  4. First Oil Change on Hybrid Maverick XLT -- my notes / tips

    Does anyone know how to determine how many ice miles clocked vs total miles?
  5. Maverick hybrid gas vs millage

    All higher octane fuel does is burn a little slower so its not as susceptible to pre ignition or "dieseling" that's the knocking sound, but again before you ever hear it the electronics have adjusted for it. Where I am we are running 10% ethanol and the ethanol is antiknock as well, it runs...
  6. Maverick hybrid gas vs millage

    Yea, running my hybrid on low test as well. Every modern car has knock sensors that will dial back timing, you don't have to run premium in anything, sure you might lose a few horsepower but it's a Maverick. I had a 2021 Frontier with the latest 3.8 and 9 speed transmission 310 horsepower...
  7. Why did you choose the hybrid?

    For me it wasn't hybrid vs eco boost. It was Maverick hybrid vs my 2021 Nissan Frontier. King cab 4x4 S model. I would not have sold the Frontier and bough an eco boost, im not big on turbos. The Nissan was low tech, it was the last of the second gen but with the 3rd gen power train, and that...
  8. Hybrid Engine Revving When Going Downhill

    I wonder if consuming more electricity would effect this, like running the seat heaters and the ac?
  9. Fumoto drain plug

    They make a Fumoto drain plug that rotates with an o ring kind of like a brake banjo bolt through the middle , do you think that one will fit on without the extension? The whole thing won't have to rotate when mounting because it spins on the banjo bolt.
  10. DIY Oil Changes? Accessing oil filter?

    I have a step grand son who does oil changes at a Honda dealership and I guarantee you do not want this kid, or his Ford doppelgänger touching your car. And yea they use whatever oil is handy, at a Honda dealer that doesn't mean much but at a Ford dealer you might be getting 15-40 diesel oil.
  11. First 2.5 Hybrid Oil Change @ 5400 miles [Video DIY & Oil Analysis]

    bobistheoilguy.com has an almost unlimited amount of information on oil, lots of it backed up with data, sae engineering studies, material data sheets, oil analysis reports and on and on and on.... The second number, the 20, is the viscosity of the oil, that's the viscosity of the oil hot, so...
  12. 2023 Maverick Hybrid Window Sticker Shows Lower MPG Than 2022 Model (city mileage went from 42 to 40 MPG)

    The horsepower tuner types use E85, it's cheaper than race gas and makes more power than most race gasses do, not the hi dollar synthetic stuff that's $40 a gallon of course. The rub is you have to tune for it specifically. I believe it is 105 octane and runs significantly cooler which delays...
  13. 2023 Maverick Hybrid Window Sticker Shows Lower MPG Than 2022 Model (city mileage went from 42 to 40 MPG)

    Here in Phoenix ALL our gas comes out of the same tanks from the same pipeline form the Gulf of California no matter who the retailer is. We have a "special" EPA blend and I am sure its different in different places.
  14. Are the hybrids problem vehicles?

    Turbos are very different, they make a lot more power and stress the motor a lot more, plus the turbos themselves can and do have issues.
  15. Oil problem?

    any resolution?
  16. Are the hybrids problem vehicles?

    I researched this before I ordered my mine. I usually think of the transmission as the weak spot it older vehicles that are known to otherwise be reliable, and the ruggedness and simplicity of the transmission as well as the fact that the ICE is not direct injection and has a long history of...
  17. Are the hybrids problem vehicles?

    That would be called blowing a head gasket, right?
  18. Are the hybrids problem vehicles?

    Turbos spins around 100,000 rpm and higher and uses engine oil for lubrication and cooling, in the old days you were supposed to let your vehicle idle for a minute or two before you shut it off to cool down the turbo. If I had a turbo I would probably do that as well as short the oil changes...
  19. Average wait time for most?

    ordered 6/21, picking it up today 9/22 so yea 15 months
