I like it. I have a 2022 area 54 blue which is good looking but prefer this new color. At least in the photos it’s easier to locate in parking lots. Mavericks with their conservative style & smaller size can handle bright colors without looking like an Oscar Meyer vehicle.

Though I did see the 12volt battery has to also power modules like the PCM to start engine

If I believe Google’s wonky AI, it appears that you are correct & I’m wrong. Good information to know. Thanks

The high voltage battery charges the 12 volt which starts the ICE. If stuck with weak 12 volt battery truck won’t start. It would have enough voltage to just open a relay probably 99% of the time. When you jump start the Hybrid it’s done from the posts under the hood. I believe the most recent...

Maverick hybrid starts with the 12 Volt battery

I’m going to put an AGM in my 2022 Hybrid especially since they’ve made Ford Pass useless. Putting an AGM battery in my motorcycle allowed it to sit for months without trickle charging but start right up on warmer winter riding days. AGM batteries are the bee’s knees, so much better than flooded...

I’m curious if my reply post to you was fully shown at your end. It was 8 lines long on my iPhone.

The problem is not the HV lithium battery, it’s the 12 volt lead acid battery. There’s too much going on after truck is parked. It sounds like Hal is rummaging around in the garage. Regarding phone & laptop batteries leaving them plugged in after they reach 100% isn’t good for them, though I...

You gotta get a rechargeable jump starting power brick to not get stranded with the lead acid batteries. They come with flashlight & usb port. Store it under passenger seat. I put my stock lead acid battery on trickle charge numerous times & it wouldn’t go over 11.7 volts. I’ve had battery saver...

I’ve got the same truck in same color & regret not getting the sliding rear window. I didn’t get it because I thought it was only available in manual with XL. Was worried that if caught in rain shower I’d have to pull over & get in the back to close. I got the moonroof but seldom use. I had a...

Modern vehicles have dual brake master cylinders, so a loss of brake fluid in one set of brake lines doesn’t result in total loss of braking

Install it yourself, it ain’t rocket science

I first changed my own oil & filter on my hybrid at 2,500 miles because I wanted to see if everything was alright. Used Mobil 1 0W-20 hybrid specific 20K oil & Ford filter. Better safe than sorry. I’m 80 & continue to change my oil & anything else that needs doing that’s not covered by recall. I...

I forgot to mention how much more I travel because the fantastic gas Mileage the Maverick gets & where else can you get a sunroof in a base model?

I’m 80 & own a 2022 XL Hybrid I waited a year for. It was built during when there was a batch of bad Mexican crankshafts installed. Mine has been fine but Ford upped the guarantee to 100K miles or 10 years, it was reassuring. I read about battery worries & bought a $60 jump start power brick to...

Really surprised the battery charging posts have imperial threads. I would think they would be 8mm x 1.25mm pitch. Very close to 5/16” x 18 threads per inch. But no cigar.

My XL hybrid stopped going into deep sleep mode somewhere in the 5 recall software updates this year. Previously if not highway driven for 2 or 3 days, no interior lights. Had to trickle charge. Fingers crossed for this winter.

If you're referring to my F150 post, no it was standard lead acid. My experience with AGM was with Triumph 3 cylinder motorcycle. The AGM kept its charge for months without charging & gas stabilizer in the tank to take advantage of occasional warm winter days.

Maverick is unique allowing moonroof option in base model XL
