  1. Storage Drawer w/ Magnet for dash cubby

    Not on the maverick version--but it is on the F-150 Lightning. :teehee:
  2. Ford Midsize EV Truck News: Ford Skunkworks (EVDC) - first ever behind the scenes tour; sneak peek at EV pickup [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Loser has to drink the bad beer? 🤔 I've never had a Walmart television last less than four days . . . (and returning it was a nightmare--they'd slapped a different brand on it for Black Friday only, and wanted to charge me for the "upgrade" to the identical unit. Eventually a manager made...
  3. 2026 Maverick Hybrid AWD Improvements (Slip Test)

    that's a lot of watching for what appears to be a short paragraph's worth of information . . . then again, I hate videos in general, as they're usually downright painful to watch.
  4. How many guitars can you put in a Maverick's bed?

    well, being smaller, they don't smash as well, but they're smaller to start with. So I'll guess at twice as many . . .
  5. Only dumb people buy Ford Mavericks.....

    That was the thing. It had nothing to do with any actual horse. It did give higher numbers than he would have been able to claim from an actual equine. I think it let him buy a lot of scotch with the profits! :crackup:
  6. Baseball size hail vs maverick tremor

    Let's not rush to that conclusion. What angle was the hail coming down? If it was from behind, it could hav hit the back end of the maverick, and we all now where that leads! :teehee:
  7. How many guitars can you put in a Maverick's bed?

    Still doesn't match the couple of dozen that Pete Townshend can fit . . . 😲
  8. UPGRADED to AGM Battery (and LARGER capacity) in Maverick Hybrid

    Almost. The most important is choosing, "Anything but motorcraft!" 🤔
  9. How to disable automatic Electric Brake when backing down a hill with door open.

    It's too late now, but the 360 view solves this. Part of what you get is a synthesized view from above, showing a black shadow around your vehicle and a lockdown on everything around you. It' great for tight parking. My only complaint is that shifting into forward shuts it off; it should stay...
  10. Ford Announces Nationwide Employee Pricing For All To Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary

    However, he also gets "holdbacks" and such, eventually. Which is a big part of why dealers like granger can sell below invoice without losing money.
  11. Hybrid Revs Coasting Down Hill

    Same thing as "Georgia overdrive" and "Mexican overdrive." :crackup: It's putting it 9n neutral and coasting, and being proud of yourself for the slight savings at the expense of having your engine available for an emergency (and a high-speed shift if driving an automatic).
  12. Hybrid running E85

    uh, no. But you could if you diluted it with water. You don't need to get all the way to 100% before you hit the point that it will do damage going down, and then to where it ends up. Getting it beyond 95% (iirc. or is it 90?) takes serious effort, and it will interact with pretty much...
  13. Maverick Hybrid engine pre-heater, any ideas for a DIY solution?

    Actually, a quarter, not half. Current is proportional to voltage applied, and wattage/power is voltage times current. That is, power goes up with the square of voltage. Anyway, IF your circuit can handle the power for which the resistive heating unit is rated, you could simply use a 120:240...
  14. Only dumb people buy Ford Mavericks.....

    As a random aside, horsepower isn't related to what a horse does. IIIRC, an actual horse can do about 7 "horsepower" . . .
  15. No 91 octane fuel in my area

    knock, not ping. On the hybrid, there is absolutely no point in going past 87 unless you're actually getting knock--at which point you should have it towed to a mechanic rather than driving it! Higher octane allows higher pressure without "detonation". The Ecoboost, and many other modern...
  16. Just a thought on the auto-hold brake feature

    Gosh, just advance the hand throttle a bit! Of course, you may also have to readjust the spark advance on the other side of the wheel a bit, too . . . 😜 Anyway, I generally like having the auto hold, but I think it needs to release with a lighter touch of the throttle--I have to turn it off...
  17. Safe to leave a key fob in the truck?

    Hammer, brick, . . . 😜
  18. Only dumb people buy Ford Mavericks.....

    My car hauler is about 1,500, leaving 2,500. Also, my interest at the moment is vey short range--about 7 miles at 35mph. (I'm still going to borrow something to haul my 1972 Eldorado!) My "rule of thumb" comes from the changes in reported HP from 1971 to 1972 GM, particularly the Eldorado...
  19. More invasive Ford patents

    when using dictation with it in my hand. I have no idea what it does on this when I'm in the trucklet.
  20. Coffee Break Message??

    I've had it within the first couple of hundred feet--and the first hundred is in reverse! Let's leave my digestion out of this! :eek:
