  1. Recent towing experience: towed ~5000 lbs for 250 miles w/ Maverick EcoBoost AWD 4K Towing

    It comes down to tow hitch class installed. Ford if they are understating the tow capacity it is probably for safety reasons. Non 4k packages have class II hitches which are rated for up to 3500lbs. 4k packages have class III hitches which are rated for up to 5000lbs. Me personally I...
  2. Recent towing experience: towed ~5000 lbs for 250 miles w/ Maverick EcoBoost AWD 4K Towing

    Best I've done is ~3500 lbs combined for the trailer and ~1000lbs in the bed at the same time, no electric brake and this is with the 4k tow package. Had no problems getting to 55 MPH but the trailer sway was noticable. With that said I could drive it with one hand something I couldn't or...
  3. Rumor: Toyota RAV4 Truck Will Tackle the Ford Maverick for Revenge

    it won't matter next 2 years if interest rates on loans are high enough. It is not the base price but the monthly payments that is going to crater the whole market unless people are willing to take out 10 year car loans.
  4. Rumor: Toyota RAV4 Truck Will Tackle the Ford Maverick for Revenge

    AWD could have been done right from the beginning if they didn't insist on using almost the same suspension as what was being used on the recently discontinued Ford Fiesta cars. The only issue holding back AWD is there isn't room to fit in the AWD components using this suspension. I have no idea...
  5. Fog lights for Maverick ?

    For halogen lights yes. LED lights are directionally focused and don't produce light scattering like halogen bulbs. Simply put they penetrate through fog better than halogen bulbs and even more betterer with the high beams on. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself when you get the right...
  6. Fog lights for Maverick ?

    Have you or anyone else driven in thick fog in the dead of nights with the brights on? If you did you'd understand why Ford didn't make fog lights an option.
  7. Still can’t decide ecoboost vs hybrid

    1. no answer 2. You get better gas mileage with hybrids in city driving conditions than open highways with that said 40 - 44 MPG is not out of the realm of possibilty for the type of driving you describe. 3. Both have auto start/stop which will cut the engine when idling under certain conditions...
  8. Still can’t decide ecoboost vs hybrid

    Ecoboost engine with eco mode enabled under ideal conditions from my personal experience you can get up to 35 MPG for highway but realistically except for cold weather conditions 30 - 33 and change MPG with eco mode. Mixed driving conditions 28 1/2 to 30 and change MPG with eco mode.
  9. Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) FORScan mod (confirmed working)

    At some point I will re edit the the main post to making it easier to follow and include this. These codes also work in combination with other settings. You can also enable TSR in other ways that will also enable or disable the sway control setting among other features. The 720-03-02 value is...
  10. Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) FORScan mod (confirmed working)

    SLIF = Speed limit only signs SLOIF = Speed limit and overpass (passing) signs The only address you need to change is the 706-01-01 address that correlates to the traffic sign recognition mode in easy mode. The other values can be left at default.
  11. Why is it the way it is?

    I am going to opine the FITS were an afterthought to appeal to the younger demographic. It is really not a well thought out or refined idea.
  12. What first accessory do you want for your Maverick (that doesn't exist)?

    You don't have a plastic vacuum forming machine at your shop? It doesn't have to be metal for trucks without the FX4 package.
  13. What's your MPG from EcoBoost AWD model? & FWD Slipeey

    Front wheel drives in the main are good at holding traction in rain. The bigger concern is when it rains lightly but just enough that the roads get slick from oil in pavement coming to the surface. If you can control a skid when you hit an oil slick in FWD the AWD in conjunction with the...
  14. Mav Life Flashed Before My Eyes... Deer Near Miss

    Food banks certainly could use the meat. I get the some people don't like the gamey taste but beggars shouldn't be choosers especially come next year when all the crop shortages from this year catch up along with increased price in fertilizers constrain supply and shoot already high prices even...
  15. Chinese EV pickup to take on Maverick?

    Actually that is only true because that is what the suppliers want. They want it as cheap as possible. You can get high quality stuff from a chinese manufacturing facility but you pay more for the stringent quality control. This isn't the old days when pride ruled the roost and people put their...
  16. Chinese EV pickup to take on Maverick?

    Wrong tech is slowly setting up a social credit system like they have in China. All that info they collect is going into profiles that will eventually be used to determine things like interest rates on loans based on your political beliefs for example. We just call it a less threatening identity...
  17. Buying a used Mav

    If you want to pay the I don't want to sell it price, I'll sell you my XL 2.0L ecoboost with almost 18K miles on it for $80,000 cash.
  18. 2022 Maverick incoming to dealership

    Well of course you'd expect them to try to sell both at a markup but if his 2023 price is agreed to at MSRP then it is a wash money wise.
  19. 2022 Maverick incoming to dealership

    If they do offer it to you, tell them you want it at MSRP and they can keep your 2023 to sell with a markup instead. You both get what you want in this case just a case of shuffling around money on vehicles.
  20. Any mav owners drive with it for uber?

    Besides ride share you can also offer delivery for large items like appliances for shorter distance deliveries. Whatever big box stores charge to deliver an item which for example by me home depot charges $89. Charge a flat rate for labor. For example $20 for you to drive either the customer to...
