  1. Found Better Dash Cam Hardwire Solution

    I use this one. It has low voltage detection for dashcams with Parking Mode. The camera will stay powered as long a the voltage remains above 1 of 3 set points ( 11.6V/12V/12.4V). The power to the camera shuts off when the voltage drops below the setting. Only 3 OBD pins are connected (-,+ and...
  2. Portable fridge in the heat

    For tent camping, I installed a 12V socket/USB/Voltage meter/On-Off panel in the right cubby. My Euhomy CF-45 qt refrigerator is plugged into the 12V socket. My Ecoflow Delta 2 power station is plugged into the 120V/400W outlet. Both power and charge fine without pulling down battery voltage...
  3. Funny... I got an email & text from Ford informing me my Lariat (sitting in my garage since Jan) has shipped!

    Ford??? I'll let you know when mine shows up! I like the idea of selling #2 back to the dealer at $10K over list. Although, #1 may like to have a #2 around 😁
  4. Funny... I got an email & text from Ford informing me my Lariat (sitting in my garage since Jan) has shipped!

    Funny... I got an email & text from Ford informing me my Lariat (sitting in my garage since Jan) has shipped! It's the same VIN as the Mav I took delivery of in January. I suspect my dealer hasn't updated something. ...Or...my order was a 2 for the price of 1 and I didn't realize it! I can't...
  5. I'm a pick-up owner!

    Congratulations! You are a "truck" owner. My Mav is my first truck. I am constantly catching myself referring to "Trucklet Destroyer of Worlds" as "the car". It's not a car! It's a TRUCK!
  6. What's your Maverick hauling in the bed? [Photos Edition]

    Post race fuel for our local 5K and 500 red oak saplings for a give away...
  7. Buy extended warranty?

    I owned a "luxury" car before my Mav. I had the car for 12 yrs before it was totaled. After the 7 year extended service contract expired, I had unexpected service costs of $4K + $2K + $11K totaling $17K between years 7-12. I intend to keep my Mav for 10 years. I purchased a Ford 10 year/ 60K...
  8. Purchasing Extended Warranty Options

    Look at the Premium Care Extended Service Contracts canceling/overriding the original warranty.
  9. Purchasing Extended Warranty Options

    It is not correct. From the Premium Care FAQ: Q: When does coverage begin on New Ford Protect Extended Service Plans? A: Coverage begins at the warranty start date and zero miles and expires at the earlier of the number of months purchased or the number of miles purchased.
  10. Extended Warranty sold by Granger -- factory, dealership, or a stand alone warranty provider?

    I decided on both Premium Care Extended Service Plan and Premium Maintenance Plan. I expect to have my Lariat for 10+ years with low annual mileage. So I went for the 10 yr/60K service plan and 10 yr/8 services maintenance plan. When comparing my dealer with Flood and Granger, the difference was...
  11. How many miles did you have one first oil change 2.0 ecoboost?

    I expect my annual mileage will be ~7,500 miles. I purchased a Ford 10yr/60K mile extended service contract and 10 yr 7,500 mile/yr maintenance contract (synthetic oil) from Flood. Regardless of the cost, I like that I don't expect to worry about significant, unexpected cost issues for the life...
  12. Ford Email invitation to activate Complementary Connected Services - No services

    I'm good. There's a lot of week left but I felt like it's "No soup for you!" from Ford. 😄
  13. Ford Email invitation to activate Complementary Connected Services - No services

    After an hour on Chat and getting nowhere, I finally called for technical services. I was told that Sync3 systems do not support any Connect Services other than the mobile hotspot (trail available by contacting AT&T directly). I am surprised/frustrated that I received the "Activate Now" email...
  14. Ford Email invitation to activate Complementary Connected Services - No services

    Did you find a resolution to this issue? I get the same "VIN not found in your account" response when trying to "Activate" Connected Services for my '24 Lariat.
  15. Ford Email invitation to activate Complementary Connected Services - No services

    Yesterday, I received an email from Ford containing a link to "activate" complementary Connected Services trials. When I click on the link, I am returned the message: "VIN not found in your account" although the VIN in the URL is correct. When I sign in to my account and click on Connected...
  16. Rear seat toolbox?

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah. The Lariat has a bunch of stuff behind the passenger side rear seat. (amp, subwoofer, et al). Oh well, it will have to live under the rear seat. I did see a smaller 60pc tool set that I believe would fit. It included most of the same tools and fittings but no ratchet...
  17. Rear seat toolbox?

    I went out and bought this at lunch. I can't figure out how you " strapped behind my Maverick's rear seat". I have a Lariat EB AWD. There doesn't seem to be enough room to accommodate the case behind the rear seat. Can you please post pics of your installation. It does fit under the rear seat.
  18. The reason why you don't want to use a car wash

    Yesterday, I transferred my Delta Sonic Unlimited account from my previous car to my new Maverick. My cost is $12.99/Month for unlimited exterior washes (I got in on some super promo a couple of years ago). Delta Sonic is brushless. As an unlimited member you get to jump the line and go straight...
  19. Returning my Maverick tomorrow

    Loving this truck took an adjustment in perspective… I’ve had my Maverick Lariat EB for 2 weeks. It’s my first truck. Prior to Trucklet Destroyer of Worlds, I drove an Audi A7. I loved my A7. It was in mint condition at 12 years old when it was totaled in 2022 (I wasn’t in the car. No one was...
  20. What's on your Maverick keys / keychain?

    I haven't received mine yet. So I can't vouch for the quality. I don't believe they are "Made in the USA". They are highly customizable with many finish options. I expect they will take 4-6 weeks to be delivered. I hope they don't add too much bulk to keep in my pocket. My reason for purchasing...
