  1. Radiator Shutters sounds

    I have been trying to assign a cause to certain noises (low and unobtrusive as they may be) which I hear under the hood. I hear them when first entering vehicle even before starting. I will hear these same sounds while sitting in vehicle after shutting down. The other day I came up with a...
  2. Recall and Oil Change.

    Did you say that they did an oil change on a home visit? Very unusual.
  3. Why is the throttle pedal disconnected from I.C.E. when the selector is in N or P.? Is this a safety precaution?

    this explains much. When I blipped the pedal the other day it was in P. ( ICE idling) I did not do this test in N.
  4. Cactus Grey Maverick Club

    The raised silver letters are actually elegant on the Cactus Grey tailgate. Spend a few extra bucks on this you will be amazed.
  5. Picked up my Maverick today!

    Looks just like mine. CG is clearly the most popular color for Maverick, particularly on the Lariet trim. I also have the Ford soft Trifold. The first time for me with a soft cover
  6. Why is the throttle pedal disconnected from I.C.E. when the selector is in N or P.? Is this a safety precaution?

    I realize that this not a high performance engine that we are dealing with here. Still, I think we have an instinct to blip the throttle now and again. Still, after 3 months, finding this mysterious vehicle to be an unexpected pleasure to drive.:)
  7. New Hybrid MPG

    I noticed on the screen shot of your instruments that the engine temperature is up in the center of the scale. Here in Upstate NY I am not getting to that. Maybe this will have to wait until Summer. We know that these Hybrids will not do as well, in cold temperature, from an efficiency standpoint.
  8. New Hybrid MPG

    This has to be one happy camper. I had very good numbers one my first tank, but not quite as good. The Electric miles # is remarkable.
  9. New Hybrid MPG

    Actually, I am getting a more consistent MPG (35-45 Mpg) and more sometimes. As you say if the cabin is calling for heat or defrost the ICE will need to run as soon as you turn on ignition and continue to run, as a result you wll not be getting those pure electric miles. On one round trip up a...
  10. New Hybrid MPG

    I think what is curious here is that the Electric Miles % is not directly related to the MPG figure, which varies from trip to trip, on a much smaller range than the Electric Miles. This is fascinating to me. I have been using the EV Coach mode. Has anybody else figured this out?
  11. New Hybrid MPG

    My experience performance wise has been similar here in much colder upstate NY. It appears to be that the reported MPG's on the dash are only slightly optimistic. If you have a week of below freezing temperatures it will impact these numbers. I have a question however about the ELECTRIC MILES...
  12. First issue on our week-old 2024 Lariat - Windshield washer fluid

    I had the same experience with my one week old Lariet last October. It has not happened again. Absolutely thrilled to be driving this Vehicle.
