I noticed mine on a road trip where uphill above 30-40% throttle on the power meter, I would get a slight shimmy. At 60%+, it would shake a lot more. By the end of the roadtrip, 20-30+% throttle would cause the shimmy. Dealer put the truck on the lift, found play in both half shafts and replaced...
I'm at 34k on the factory contis and they appear to be around 50% worn. Granted, I am in Southern California where we don't get much rain so I am going to use them until around 50k and then change them. These were rotated every 7500 miles or so.
I'm in southern California where we're soft and our definition of cold is 50 :ROFLMAO: and even then, I notice that my XLT hybrid will start the engine way more in the "winter" compare to the other 10 months out of the year. My mileage drops from 42 to 38 in the "winter". Also something to...
Wow awesome thanks for the info. I would probably go 245/55/18 as I'm not trying to poke out too much and still retain relatively the same circumference.
Hi all,
I have an extra set of Konig 18x9 38mm offset wheels that I used for my Focus ST as track wheels. I have since sold the ST and have these wheels sitting around - thinking about putting winter tires on them but was wondering if the 9in wheels are too wide for the Mav. I have 22 XLT...
Ohh! I searched for idle lurch and did not get any hits but I should have searched lurching by itself. Thanks and that sucks that it seems to be just what it is.
22 hybrid w/ 25k miles. The last ~6 months or so, when the engine first starts up in the morning and I am stopped at a red light, the vehicle will feel like it is lurching back and forth, rocking the whole car. I have brought the vehicle to the dealer but they never find any codes and the...
I got this one off Amazon and it stopped working after about 8 months.
This one is holding up better.
I was told to go this route by the detailing company that did the ceramic coating on my truck. Unless the truck is super dirty, I do not have to scrub it at all so it is less likely to scratch.
Could you change the poll to include the other generations? That would give an overall picture of the forum folks, which is 100% representative of the market demographics :ROFLMAO:
Should have done this as a poll so that you can see everyone's answers without having to read 7 pages haha. I have a 22 hybrid FWD, besides the recalls, its been problem free, and I have no regrets. It was 30k out the door for a XLT w/lux package vs close to 37k for an XLT hybrid AWD w/lux...
Do you drive 5k miles a year because you have multiple vehicles? Also, do you anticipate that changing (different job, longer commute, etc.)? Is your commute more City or is it more highway/rural? I know some folks get the hybrid and find that since they like it more and it is more fuel...
A 2024 XLT hybrid is 3636 lbs +/- 50lbs depending on trim
These are all estimates based on my Focus ST weight reduction (I added some weight to each as everything is bigger on the Mav)
Spare ~50lbs
12V battery ~40lbs
Passenger seat ~35lbs
Backseat ~50lbs
Tailgate ~50lbs
Right there is already...
It is this pad but it is not available anymore: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MBJRMR1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I tried this one as well : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0711YJ3TW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1
I didn't like how flimsy it...
