This could take years like the VW Dieselgate fix. If that happens, eventually, all the 'stop sale' 2024 Mavericks will be sent to some huge lot where they will all get sun-faded before they are eventually sold at auction to shady used car dealers. I kid, but given the issues of cheap hardware...

He is talking about the slot in the console to hold a phone just like I was, not the small cubby next to the screen I haven't found any significant limitations with AA/CarPlay when driving, at least not for the things that you should be doing when driving like NAV, music playback, responding...

I have my lumbar support filled until it stops filling and it seems perfect for me. I think Bob is taller than I am though. I can definitely tell when mine gets accidentally deflated. I have always preferred extra lumbar support and use pillows in the small of my back on sofas. Something like...

You must live in an area without much traffic then. Your sig says Alpena (MI?). That probably explains it. Around a metro area, like where I live, you can't avoid heavy traffic and road projectiles (rocks, metal objects, trash, etc). I do my best to not follow any other vehicles by about...

Yep, mine is usually upside down as well. Doesn't bother me a bit.

The "Advanced AWD" is only on the Tremor. The FX4 and XLT/Lariat AWD are only slightly different. The FX4 has an electro-mechanical limited slip rear differential and the non-FX4 doesn't. The Advanced version on the Tremor has an electronic locking rear diff which offers some benefits in the...

Personally, I like the Sentry CT hard rollup. OK, not a trifold, but I find it to be easier to use and functionally superior to the trifold. I can have it fully rolled up and still see out of more than half of my rear window. I can also roll it fully when my Elevate Racks are installed. Most...

You are simply lugging the engine in a high gear. Normal. Just give it a tad more gas so it downshifts, or put it in sport mode if you have it. Personally, I embrace it knowing the little turbo can chug along and make enough torque and power to get up an hill at 1400rpm. Lugging an engine is...

OK, maybe I'm dull, but why not use the built in "Phone Holder" that is in the same location as the 22-24 models? That's what I've always used. With Android Auto or CarPlay, there is almost no reason to need the phone screen visible.

A/Z provides a NO-Stress buying and fixed low dealer fees. No slimy tactics and no "let me check with my manager". It is a fixed price that you should be able to figure out using Ford's MyPlan website once you have your PIN #. If there is a surplus of the vehicle and the dealers are making...

I'd check KBB or some other source to see what the used value is on a '24 with say 1000 miles and use that as a negotiation. A 24 model will have a much sharper drop in price when you drive off the lot because it is a year old already. The days of driving a Maverick off the lot and having a...

Do you drive it on roads with other cars/trucks/18-wheelers? I've been careful as can be, but after 20 months and 18K miles, I have a few chips that came from road projectiles. I also have at least 1 tiny windshield chip.

The ecoboost engine sounds horrible when its really cold. Most of that sound is from the high pressure fuel pump. For me, it usually goes away after a few minutes of driving.

Cheaper, AND it saves a decent amount of weight. I don't know the exact figure, but I'm sure it would be somewhere between 15-30 lbs.

Has anyone thought about the fact that the OP might have been advised not to discuss this until the insurance/police/courts figures out if it was driver error or manufacturer defect? I would imagine there is a significant claim between the damage to the vehicle and the two shops.

I think MM chose to not admit he was wrong despite a whole forum worth of contradicting experiences.

I don't know about 2022, but my truck has had occasional issue since it was delivered in May '23. More often for me, there is a delay in getting the screen to show the backup camera. It is either black or shows the Ford Logo. I have a long downhill driveway and sometimes I have no backup image...

We are all waiting for you to show this happening in a video...

For our Mavericks, its not the camera itself, but the lousy low end electronics they use for the Infotainment system. It struggles in just about every scenario. Combine that with some bad software and we have a recall. I honestly don't see a software fix being a real remedy for this. My...

There are dozens of threads here talking about pros/cons of each type. Before you dive into a long term relationship with a cover, you should explore the comments for each type. I prefer a hard rolling cover (Sentry CT w/T-slot rails) because I also use the Elevate racks for my kayaks and the...
