Worth is a loaded term. You can always move the goal posts to make your argument. Value is the better question to ask and then it is a new vs old if you are trading up or new vs new if not.

Those batteries can catch on fire for sure hybrid or full electric. I knew someone who worked on one in his driveway and the battery went up in flames, so did the car, it also happened to be windy and embers burnt his and his neighbors house down. Not necessarily a point against owning but...

I bought a 22 XL ecoboost AWD with a 4k tow package and no copilot package back in 2021 and received it in Nov. of 21. Next month I'll have had the truck for 4 years. Some thoughts and observations on the truck. I am close to 50,000 miles on it and so far no mechanical issues. I haven't used and...

I can attest to this. Those tires are low friction tires and that lack of friction makes a big difference on mpg. I recently switched out the stock Conti's to AT tires and have seen a big mpg drop from an average of 30 -33 MPG to 25 - 28 mpg per tank of gas. With that said I'd rather have tires...

@ If you have the factory installed trailer brake controller, you'll have slider controls on the dash, left side of the steering wheel below the headlight knob that control the electric brakes on the trailer.

To the original question. AGM will charge quicker and discharge slower. It won't help but it will have to charge it differently since AGM is not as tolerant to higher charging voltages. That is where the BCM in conjunction with the BMS regulates the smart charging system for the battery type...

As best I can explain the BMS issue is this. First off the BMS if it is the same as the ecoboost engines should be the black box on the negative cable right before the battery terminal connector. It will also have sensor connector and wire which among other things allows it to talk to the BCM...

First off just get it tested at an auto parts store, they usually will do it for free. That will rule out the battery being bad. As far as your electrical mods goes did you wire in the negative connections directly to the battery terminal or somewhere further up? As far as you charging the...

First off did you check to see if the battery itself is no good? Second how did you charge the battery. did you hook the negative to the battery terminal or chassis ground or engine block? Third have you done any electrical modifications like a sound system, inverters, etc. ?

It is not the frame but the actual construction of the bumper bar. Whether the bumper bar also has a receiver hitch, is or isn't 4k rated they all attach to the frame at the same points with the same bolts. If they all attach the same then that is not the failure point here. Either the...

I don't know the budget for a trailer but assuming this fits this is an example of a nice little that has a toilet that will work with that truck. https://tlrvstaging.wpengine.com/rvs/2021-rove-lite-travel-trailers/

Because you can doesn't mean you should. You maybe able to get away with towing outside safety specs. on a single tow but repeated tows maybe not. If you break anything you are paying for it not the warranty if you did. You have 2 major failure points, the hitch receiver and suspension system...

Correct but on the 2025 unlike in 2022 you can get an 4k tow package on a hybrid. Using the 2022 as trade in against a 2025 assuming same trim level and options as the 2022 you are probably looking at around 10k car payment to trade up and get more functionality and better gas mileage without...

For that size trailer you'll definitely need to trade up to a Maverick with 4k tow. If you want to stay within the parameters of what you have look into teardrop or tiny travel trailers that are 2000lbs or less. Also if you can keep the trailer as unloaded as possible and store that weight...

Read page 311 in the owners manual. https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/2022-Ford-Maverick-P758-Owners-Manual-version-1_om_EN-US_07_2021.pdf Key points. ...We recommend that you disconnect the negative battery cable terminal from the battery if you plan to...

All I can add is whatever method is used solar, trickle, etc. you have to pass the current through the BMS sensor not behind it on the negative terminal post. It has be a metal ground on the chassis or engine block where you hook your negative to. If you don't do this what will happen is the BCM...

Well without any more info it is impossible to say if it was user error or some other issue like not getting enough sun along with a parasitic draw being greater.

If they had a BMS like the Maverick then the negative needs to be hooked to metal on the chassis not the battery terminal. Same way you would charge an older Ford with the 1st gen BMS sensors.

To the original question as far as coolers goes my only criteria is do they seal well when they close. I guess it comes down to capacity(s) needed. I have a 100 qt cooler that fits just as well as a 38 qt cooler in the truck bed. Using a cargo bar the bed dividers become irrelevant. You can also...

Guess they aren't that stringent on the safety items. I've seen places require you have a portable toilet among other items. The only thing I'd add to that assuming you have a tow hitch is a d-ring shackle hitch receiver.
