Predecessors like the Ford Courier were not like sized. The Maverick is much larger than those. It is much more comfortable, powerful and safer, however. The second generation Ranger Supercab is very close in size, just slightly narrower. I have owned both.
In your cases where the thunk is gone; are you also driving on slick surfaces? Could be the AWD is already engaged. (That thunk is thought to be the AWD engaging as you slow back to parking lot speeds.)
Being a product of the mid-fifties, my first vehicular memories were there were no domestic wipers that would flip up, just lift a few inches. Most foreign cars did and I guess the idea was adopted by the big three (just like the high beam headlight button being moved from the floor to the...
As cool as the hybrids typically operate, I don't even see engine bay running temperatures that shorten the life of plastic or rubber parts as they're made to endure much more.
I agree, and further thought is: if Ford really thought there could be such a severe problem, they would be all over this although quietly. I.E. buying the car or at least putting the OP in a loaner until resolution.
Does indicate: as maneuverable and nimbal as the Maverick feels, you have to remember it is a fairly large vehicle. Sorry for your misfortune. Thanks for the reminder.
I do think these are the answer for those with a tonneau cover who want a tailgate spoiler. Just don't use the tailgate cap and everything should be near level with a spoiler.
If I become convinced that a given spoiler will significantly increase my highway speed fuel mileage, maybe I will change my opinion. Until that time, it's a pass for me.
Did not reply here back in June, but it does seem like a good place to denote my two year mark passing last week. Just over 11k miles on my '24 Lariat hybrid as of today. Have had no real problems other than the failed 12v battery which was replaced in August with the larger BXT by the dealer...
The mechanical improvements on the '25 over the '24 in either engine model definitely out weigh the gauge cluster IMO. I would either get used to it or swap in the older one if it's easily doable.
I do remember friends having problems back in the late eighties with some of the factory fuel injectioned vehicles available at the time because of them clogging up due to the fuels available at the time. I guess the early federal standard did correct that problem. Now we're dealing with GDI...
Last year, when my Maverick was only months old I had to transit a road that passes a concrete plant that has cement mixers coming and going all day. One had spilled a liquid all over the road which at the time l assumed to be mostly water. Well, before I realized it was not, it had dryed in...
