  1. 50k Maintenance Recommendations

    Hey everyone, My mav just hit 50k miles the other day and I’m going to do a ton of work on it in the next few weeks (front level kit, brake pads, rotors, brake fluid, tires-going to make a separate post for recommendations). Besides regular oil and filter changes, I’ve changed the transmission...
  2. Using Thicker Oils During Hot Weather

    So I live in the Central Valley of California where the summers get pretty hot (can get up to 110+ for months). I have two Mavericks on our farm with 2.0L engines and I’m considering putting a different oil this year for maximum protection. Sometimes we use them for hauling/towing. I know Ford...
  3. Underfilled Transmission From Overheating Issue?

    I've noticed that my transmission works a little differently in cold weather too, but more like it has trouble finding the right gears and shifting awkwardly. Works much different in hot weather. After seeing the low levels of multiple vital components, it gets even harder to trust Ford. As...
  4. Underfilled Transmission From Overheating Issue?

    Appreciate it. I've always been hesitant about working on a transmission but the dealer price made me think otherwise haha....
  5. Underfilled Transmission From Overheating Issue?

    TL/DR: Drained my transmission on my 2.0L and came back with only about 3.5 quarts. Refill with leveling took in around 4.5 quarts. Noticed vent cap covered in presumably ATF; confused what's causing ATF vent out like that. Yesterday I drained and refilled my ATF, PTU, and RDU like many others...
  6. FX4 Skidplate Bolt Replacement?

    Hi guys, so like an idiot, I completely ripped off a bolt when I was re-installing the skidplate after an oil change. My next oil change is coming up and I need to extract and replace it. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement at?
  7. Young Buyer; I would like your opinion...

    Hey man, I ended up getting my hands on a 2.0L AWD FX4, white color. I was pretty hesitant about the hybrid (in terms of reliability and DIY maintenance), plus a large majority of my driving is on the freeway. I've had mine for about a year now, and I'm pretty satisfied with my choice. This is...
  8. Young Buyer; I would like your opinion...

    Yea that's something I gotta realize that the size of this truck is pretty small, and I shouldn't be looking at towing anything serious to begin with; 4k is barley anything lol. And yea you're right, we have some diesels to choose from but they're always being used. It looks like its going to be...
  9. Young Buyer; I would like your opinion...

    Thanks for that, those numbers seem pretty good for the hybrid. I'll be sure to test drive one around here, didn't think to test drive something that has the same powertrain. Appreciate it!
  10. Young Buyer; I would like your opinion...

    Lmao I know what you mean with the anti-ford people, they try to find anything to prove their case lol. Its good to know that the CVT trans can last that long. I've heard of Nissans with CVTs that can barley last 50k miles before they have issues, that's why I was hesitant. Over here in Central...
  11. Young Buyer; I would like your opinion...

    (Too long/Didn't Read: I need help deciding the powertrain and the color) Hi guys, I'm currently thinking of getting a new Maverick and I'd like to see others' opinions to help me finalize my choice. I'm a very indecisive person lol. I'm currently a 21 y/o college student, I currently drive a...
