I put in a reservation for the Slate truck. If nothing else its interesting and basically beer money, so why not? Also, I still think the Maverick is too big. This should be a better sized vehicle. Crank windows and no radio? Hell yeah...sign me up!

Carfax? Carfax doesn't get telematics data from Ford. They to take submissions from a variety of sources including dealer and third party services and attach those entries to your VIN along with the mileage. They then calculate a timeline and estimate the mileage for a particular date based on...

I can verify that pulling the fuse on a 2022 Maverick disables the cell modem and stops telematics. This is based on 1) the dealer sees no updates in the system; 2) there are no updates at 'ford.com'; 3)There are no updates in the 'motorcraftservice.com' portal for my car. Next time I'm in the...

I have 83k on my 2022 Ecoboost FWD. Of course, nearly all of those miles are on a highway with the cruse set. I sent an oil sample at 75k and the little motor has really settled in. I'll change the transmission fluid again at 90k and send a sample, but based on how well its working I'm hoping...

FWD Maverick with Blizzaks on it is a snow wizard. Mud too. The "slippery" mode helps a lot too. About to swap the Blizzaks on for the winter.

We just had this happen to an F-150. Same electronics. Right in brother-in-law's driveway in a Denver suburb. Not that long ago I watched some thugs with a repeater door shaking all the cars in the parking lot of the Frederick, MD Hampton Inn (OG one by the FSK mall if you're in the area). The...

Pickups are everywhere in Mexico. Anyone who thinks they need an F(number)50 should visit Mexico. They can haul more stuff with a little Ram ute than we can with an F250 and a 24 foot trailer.

I'll bet Pedro set those down, took a sip of coffee and then forgot. Grab four more screws and continue. I do that at least daily.

The following are cars that I own that are cheaper to insure than my Ford Maverick: 2020 Subaru WRX STi 2017 Fiat Spider Abarth 2011 Porsche Cayman 2009 Lexus LX570 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera All through USAA. I also have about 10 cars on a Hagerty collector policy, but that's a completely...

69K on it's second year anniversary.

Agreed on aftermarket. Hopefully by the time I need the next one aftermarket glass will be available.

Actually... I just had mine replaced and verfied both with Safelite and my local body shop that this is not aftermarket glass in the system for the Maverick just yet. SPOILER. It's expensive. Especially if you have CP360.

Pickups aren't my thing, but I work in Agriculture and live in Kansas. This gets most of the use where a manual transmission small sports car isn't practical. The Maverick is not the first set of keys either my wife or I reach for. That said, it drives just like the small front drive car it is...

In service 6/26/2022. 64k miles today. Miles are low due to not being anyone's daily driver.

There is a drain plug on the bottom and a fill plug on the side. Changing the fluid is simple. The filter is strictly internal though. Perhaps that's a big reason why the prevailing advice is to keep clean fluid in the things.

There isn't a pan you can drop on that trans, so it probably has to have the case split to change the filter. It wouldn't be hard to get it out of a FWD, not sure on AWD. Either way, it's more of a chore than an "old school" transmission.

The 8 speed "non-severe" service interval is very clearly 150k per the owner's manual. There is a scan of the actual manual elsewhere in this thread. I don't have not owned and do not anticipate owning a CVT equipped vehicle, so don't have any observations to report.

I see your point, but don't believe it's linear in that way. The first drain will generally be the dirtiest as the manufacturing debris and initial wear enter the fluid. The analysis is measuring what is suspended in the fluid, so removing that first drain contamination should lead to a cleaner...

My Maverick is FWD, so I don't have one. I do keep the diff fluid fresh in the couple of AWD vehicles I own, particularly the high strung Subaru that's hard on everything. I'm sure there are plenty of AWD members with some comments on that.

I read that aluminum, iron, copper are significantly too high, and tin is a bit too high at 60k miles when compared to Blackstone's unit averages for the same transmission and fluid combination. So, what I hope to see on the next report is the metals in the fluid more in line with the averages...
