  1. Hybrid Fire in the Garage - ever think about it?

    Exactly. You don't have to be a professional statistician to notice that these AutoInsuranceEZ numbers look a wee bit questionable. Because, EVs and hybrids aside, if 1530 conventional internal-combustion cars (aka, "most of the cars") are catching fire per 100,000 vehicles, that would equate...
  2. Aftermarket Rear Seat Delete Kit Exists

    At half the price, I'd say it's way overpriced. But I'm a cheap XL owner.
  3. DIY - build shield to cover underbody cavity behind left rear tire

    5+ months and 5k+ miles later... no issues I see
  4. 2025 MPG for AWD

  5. 0% Oil Life, First Oil Change Blackstone Results on 2023 Hybrid Maverick

    ...but people spout early oil changes as if there is some data that backs it up. There isn't. Not with modern engines and modern oils. There ARE reports of used oil analysis showing that following the OLM is completely appropriate. Its the Internet. When someone is wrong you have to call them...
  6. 10 Secrets of the Maverick

    Headrests can fit behind the back seat so they're there if you need them (rarely have anyone in back) - and they do block a good bit of visibility.
  7. Who does not have a bed liner?

    BedRug https://accessories.ford.com/bedrug-sportliner-with-tailgate-cover-for-4-5-bed Was $10 after points. (see my sig for a coupon, if Ford site doesn't show one) Best thing - it flattens the bed. Foam contours underneath fill the bed stamping to make a level surface and adds padding for...
  8. Floor Jack & Jack Stand(s) at Pinch Welds

    Second this (I've recommended it in at least two other threads) If you're doing oil changes and/or tire rotations DIY, this will be a timesaver.
  9. Back up sensor alert install?

    Rear cross traffic alert catches vehicles and chimes - but not sure it does pedestrians. Need CoPilot 360 option. That would get you blind spot monitoring and lane keep assist also. Hard to add after the fact, though.
  10. Please wait for fuel door to open

    No cap at least - evens it out :D
  11. 0% Oil Life, First Oil Change Blackstone Results on 2023 Hybrid Maverick

    Keep practicing. There is no data to show that one year oil changes are needed with modern engines and modern engine oils. Oil made it millions of years underground, months through refinery and transporting to sit on a shelf waiting for a customer to buy it. There is no "best by" date - whether...
  12. Got first oil change at 1,350 miles

    Can you comment on whether the Ford engineers are correct in their design of "Ford Maverick's Intelligent Oil Life Monitor", or if we should simply ignore factory recommended maintenance intervals?
  13. Back up sensor alert install?

    Yes. Not sure. $0 option - "LOOKOUT I'M BACKIN' UP!!!"
  14. Mabett fender flare staining

    I'd wipe the rest of it with gas before trying to "restore" it - if I cared about a uniform finish.
  15. What Generation are Maverick owners?

    I'm other - Xennial https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xennials Not quite Gen X, def not Millennial.
  16. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    I used this https://www.ebay.com/itm/293198966500 18g - no issues b/c I used pigtails also.
  17. 2025 MPG for AWD

    My 2016 Sportwagen cost $18,5xx thanks to Dieselgate dealer discounts. Base model, stick shift. Awesome deal and fun to drive. Miss it. I averaged 38 mpg over my ownership. Gas 1.8T. The interior and fit and finish were much better than a Rav4 Prime that cost twice as much! Sad the VW wagons...
  18. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    add LB5Z-13341-BA for lane keep assist (replaces turn stalk), since you don't have CP360. List looks just like mine, otherwise. Prices are decent too (I'm assuming these are current). I recommend going back a few pages and finding the pdf I made - I think it is an updated version of the OP...
  19. I added factory power lumbar support to my XL Maverick seat

    Thanks for some inspiration... I didn't want to spend the effort to wire the OEM lumbar support and then started looking into cheaper air bladder types, which lead me to this search... https://www.google.com/search?q=blood+pressure+cuff+as+inflatable+lumbar+support and a $12/seat solution -...
