Have a 23' XLT EB LuxPack FWD. Ordered it back in 2022 the day the order banks opened and took delivery late May 2023.
20k miles currently.
Only complaints...
>Super thin sheet metal. Already had to have a glue pull done on one of the doors from just leaning against it. Most likely the same...
It's probably not leaking, it's most likely where it got trapped on the lower control arm when they leveled the fluid. Or, it may be where it spilled out of the fill/vent tube on top. I had a lot get on the lower control arm when I changed my transmission fluid and i had some spill past the...
You got 27k miles out of it, already have another vehicle to drive, aproching the end of the warranty period, and can break even if you sale it. I think there should be no question what you need to do. Pretty sure Mavericks values are only going to drop from here on, and most likely like a...
I have taken my maverick on three long trips now. NC to southern MI, NC to southern FL, and NC to northern OH. All trips I averaged between 29-31mpg. Have a FWD EcoBoost 2.0L XLT. I am very happy with that number.
Two things I have noticed that "may" be playing a role in failures...
1) When I serviced my transmission it was over full. I drained out just over 6qts and it only took just shy of 5qts to start running out of the level plug at full opperating temp. when I refilled it. Could the factory be...
Starting to hear of more cases of 8F35 transmission failures and most are at or less than 100k miles. My brother-in-laws neighbor has a '22 FX4 Maverick and his transmission failed at just over 100k miles. Curious if anyone else has had a failure or knows of someone that has? My '23 Maverick...
Had this same thing happen to me 3-4 times now. Most recent time was this past weekend. There needs to be a lock out to keep it from going into Neutral or they need to make you push down on the dial before it will let you spin it. Something needs to be done before someone trashes a...
This is completely normal. Usually thick cast iron or steel parts are not painted or coated since rust will not hurt them. You will see this with control arms, engine blocks, axles, and other thick cast iron/steel parts that are not easily visible. They will have slight rust on them as soon...
It's a completely new engine. Different block, different heads, different cams, different fuel system, different valve cover, different intake, different flywheel, different water pump, different thermostate housing, different crankcase ventilation system, etc...
I have bumped it twice on the interstate and knocked it into neutral. Fortunately, I did not panic and coasted off the road and came to a complete stop before shifting back into drive so not to damage the transmission. Sucks when you start seeing your speed drop and nothing happens when you...
Sure wish Ford could have put a naturally asperated V6 engine in the Maverick. The old 3.0L Duratec would have been SWEET! Had that engine in a 2011 Escape that I had prior to buying my Maverick and it was QUICK! No way my 2.0L ecoboost Maverick could have hung with it. Funny thing, the 3.0L...
So, I prepared everything yesterday to do a transmission service on my 2023 2.0EB FWD w/8F35 and before I began I looked around to pinpoint all areas I will need to access. In doing so, I noticed that there is NO level plug on the side of the transmission. Do the FWD models not have one...
Sheet metal is paper thin! Our rear driver side door did not shut good so my wife leaned on it to push it closed. I watched her do it and she just nudged it gently to get it to latch fully. In doing so, it put a basket ball size dent in the door. We had to take it to a PDR place and have...
Little back story on why we chose the EcoBoost and a Maverick in general...
I'll be honest, I am a loyal Ford customer and have owned eleven Ford vehicles over the last 20 years and currently own three (counting the Maverick) BUT I was very skeptical about buying another. Ford has had a lot of...
Wondering if anyone knows how to display the digital speedometer in the center instrumentation display? I have a 2023 XLT Maverick EB with the 4.2" screen. Looked in owners manual and online and cannot find anything on it? Played around with the display in the vehicle for 30min trying to...
