  2. 2025 Maverick Hybrid engine braking?

    While "coasting," the hybrid is in regen braking mode until the battery is full, then the engine comes on to assist slowing down, which is what the vehicle assumes you want when you take your foot off the accelerator. Once the battery is full, there is no more capacity for regen braking - the...

  6. Rear Wheel Well Protective Plate

    Okay randymeeker, under no circumstances should you remove the heat shield from the farocoupler, on account of what @oysterville posted above. Experience is the best teacher, but you'll only get to experience that once. Steve

  7. Rear Wheel Well Protective Plate

    My thoughts exactly! Also, the nearby thermoculator might need to be relocated so the plastic won't melt. Steve

  8. Consumer Reports, April 2025 issue, Ford Maverick

    Nah. It was all about some differences between real world experience and a magazine article review he read. We don't know the objectivity, driving style or the presupposed expectations of the people who test drove the vehicle and had input to the article. Your driving style will no doubt differ...

  16. Engine coolant temperature in hybrids

    I normally start in SPORT mode until the engine gets to operating temperature, which is rarely above 185 degrees. After it gets to that temp, I'll switch to another mode. Not good for mileage, but I figure better for the engine to try to get rid of warm-up engine block condensation early in the...

  20. Warranty, front camera and trade for a 2025 ?

    About #2. Your Maverick has a front camera? My 2024 Lariat does not, so I attached a short fiberglass rod to the front license frame - just tall enough that I can see the top of it from the driver's seat. Now I can tell where the very front is and not run into parking lot poles and stuff. Steve
