Mine does this too. Keeps randomly turning on the damed "system wifi" too, so have to turn that off pretty constantly. XLT Lux, CP360, EB FWD. The good news is that after 20k in a few weeks shy of six months, I have no mechanical problems. It's not been to the dealer since I drove it out of...

Mostly because I find it annoying. Secondly because it seems to do that when it's 8 degrees out and dark somewhere in Nebraska and the heat stops. Thirdly because; for some reason, Ford seems to put starters in incredibly stupid places and I have never enjoyed changing them out. The starter...

I was visiting with one of our regular mechanics on another project today and asked about eCVT maintenance recommendations. His advice was the same and followed your reasoning. Basically, in theory an eCVT should be easier on fluid. That said, fluid is cheap and eCVTs are expensive, so why not...

I don't have a hybrid. I want the engine to keep running when I stop.

Again, I don't have any direct experience with CVTs, but two mechanics that I use for everything including full engine swaps recommend 30k fluid changes. Your mileage may vary.

I have the package in the shop. Next time I'm down there I'll get the plug dimensions, but they will be for a EB. Your plug may be different.

We have a lot of experience with high mileage vehicles, so have a few comments. Preface: I do not plan to keep my Maverick for 10+ years. That would be somewhere between 400,000 and 500,000 miles. I like my Maverick, but I don't think it has that in it. 1. I have an EB Maverick, and replaced...

ASS killer. Takes three minutes to install. Worth every penny. https://www.autostopeliminator.com/collections/ford/products/2022-ford-maverick-autostop-eliminator

I have a DIBL that got replaced with a SIBL by Long McArthur. Nothing wrong with it, I just prefer the SIBL. $150/OBO Located in Inman, KS

From under the car, I see no significant difference between my FWD Ecoboost Maverick and any other bargain FWD car that I've owned over the previous 35 years or so. This isn't a knock on the Maverick. I like the car and suspect that it'll make it to 150000 - 200000 miles without too much fuss...

Neither the Santa Cruz nor the Maverick are a truck. The Santa Cruz is a repackaged car based SUV, and the Maverick is a repackaged Focus. Both are shaped like pickup trucks, but neither are anything more than cheap front drive cars masquerading as trucks. I get a chuckle when I see "built Ford...

I find the dial annoying, but still own the car. It must not be that bad. There should be a 1-2-3-4-5-6 option with three pedals. THAT would be a big improvement.

I picked my Cactus Grey XLT FWD EB LUX CP360 three months ago as of next Monday. 11,500 miles on the ticker today. No problems. I would buy it again. One happy discovery. Cactus Grey is a great color if you are ever on gravel roads, or (in my case...cattle feed yards). It can be filthy, but...

Jerks in oversized pikuptruks are NOT gearheads. Real gearheads IMPROVE their vehicles with modifications. The 'Bro Dozer' crowd take an already bad vehicle, then spend thousands to MAKE IT WORSE. Cause 'MERICA!!

I will have had the Maverick (XLT, Lux, CP360, FWD, EB) exactly two months tomorrow. It has 8200ish miles today...will have about 8500 by the end of the day tomorrow. I routinely drive 650 miles in a day. with no unexpected discomfort or fatigue. Fuel economy to date is at just under 29mpg. The...

I was in the neighborhood of $27.5k. Lots of utility there at that price.

Did XLT, EB, Luxury package and CP360. I live in Kansas so no need for AWD. I do need heated seats to prevent divorce. I personally find the cloth to be more comfortable than non-perforated vinyl during extreme temperatures. That's all but about 12 days a year around here. Since I work in...

I was unable to make the Saturday meetup but did make it to the dinner Friday evening at the dealership. Really had a nice time meeting interesting people and visiting with Tim a bit. If you're not a member of the YouTube channel, I would encourage you to try it out. Tim and Sarah provide a lot...

Yes. EXCEPT...turning it off in the menu seems to not actually turn it off. There's still cellular chatter. What's in the chatter remains unknown. Never trust the menu toggles.

Pull fuse 11 from the fusebox in the cabin. That disables the 'telematics control module.' The car tracks all of your activity and sends it to Ford for monetization. This is not okay.
