  1. 2025 Maverick hybrid XLT arrived - initial review / impressions (by former 2023 XLT owner)

    I replaced every incandescent bulb with a Lasfit LED bulb, except for the taillights. They can't seem to make a stop/turn/tail bulb that works on the Maverick...very disappointed.
  2. Gas mileage suddenly significantly lower in Hybrid

    My '24 has 16k miles and my mileage began a slow decline after I added a cap, but I expected that. Winter is not the best time of year to track MPGs, especially if you remote start it on frigid mornings (as I do, twice a week); I also notice the gas engine runs longer on winter mornings...
  3. Mabett Side Marker Lights - Video Update Included!

    That's exactly my feeling, too. I like the 'chase' animation on the pair I have. If I could, I would make two changes to the original: One, match the lens to the clearance lamps and Two, reduce the brightness of the existing side marker lamps: they're brighter than they need to be. I wonder...
  4. Ford extended warranty harassment

    I get aftermarket pitches, too but these are from my local dealer as well as the dealer I purchased from. It's annoying but not at all tempting.
  5. Ford extended warranty harassment

    Every week for the past two months, I get an "URGENT! Reply immediately!" letter from Ford's warranty division, insisting that I call or click or scan the QR code to purchase their extended warranty 'before it's too late' ... and that's how you can tell what a huge money-maker extended...
  6. What's your favorite car wash?

    We have a BJ's Club membership and nobody around us undersells them in gasoline...even Costco comes in consistently higher by a nickel per gallon or more.
  7. Heated seats -- back and bottom?

    Yes: both seat bottom and seat back heat comes on together. I'm not aware of a vehicle that has separate back and seat heat controls...
  8. Best thing about heated seats is...

    Yours may be defective...my seats on the highest setting are nearly too hot to the touch with bare hands. I run mine at the lowest setting, with a seat cushion for longer drives (old hips after years of professional driving). I don't think temp is adjustable in Forscan (the heated steering wheel...
  9. What's your favorite car wash?

    Me too: but not in the winter...🥶
  10. What's your favorite car wash?

    You also probably don't have to deal with frozen tap water hoses. 😉
  11. What's your favorite car wash?

    We're finally getting Sheetz in the metro Detroit area: one has already opened and others to follow in 2025.
  12. What's your favorite car wash?

    Sounds just ducky! My issue with touchless washes is how much is left behind...I usually go to the coin wash bays and hand wash it, but they're getting hard to find as property values are on the rise around here...
  13. What's your favorite car wash?

    It's winter in Michigan and Steve Trucklet needs a good wash, but I'm concerned about damage to the added exterior parts (i.e.stone deflector and mudguards) so I thought I'd ask: which car wash brand gets your vote?
  14. FORD extended warranty Questions.

    1 don't buy extended warranties, mostly because they don't kick in until the standard warranty expires...so for 3 years you've paid up front for a warranty that you can't use. If you take that money and save it in any interest-bearing account, even if it's only 0.1% APR, you'll be able to pay...
  15. connected 'features'

    A smartphone is WAY more intrusive than anything Ford can make up. We've never been more easily tracked and sold to, ever...but (like most things) there are upsides.
  16. Lighted Front Grille Ford Oval for 2025 Mavericks

    Wow: over $300 to advertise their product that I already bought...? I think I'm glad it won't fit mine.
  17. First 2025 Mavericks have been delivered!

    If I'd bought a '25 I'm sure I'd have no issue with the front end design changes from the '24. I'm still enjoying driving mine even though it's approaching a year old (already!).
  18. 2025 Maverick - 4K Dual Dashcam

    We had our first serious winter storm in metro Detroit a week or so ago and the freeways were glassed with ice. I was hyper-focused on traffic behaviors behind me , praying that everyone was paying attention to the situation and not following too closely...but after a few miles I opted to exit...
