  1. For all you 1st-time AWD owners,,,,,,

    Maybe the EB & hybrid operate differently? For sure, the EB AWD's do always start off from a stop with rear assist, perhaps the hybrids don't. Maybe the hybrids don't even have the AWD distribution screen in the meter? Wouldn't surprise me at all if they are different in this regard.
  2. NEWBIE QUESTION ABOUT BLINDSPOT WARNING SYSTEM

    Maverick has never had audible BS warning, for which ME PERSONALLY, I am grateful. I find the audible warnings annoying AF. YMMV.
  3. If You Weren't a Ford Guy/Gal Why Did You Get a Maverick?

    I mean, if you want a new, compact "true" truck, it's the only game in town. I'm still surprised no other OEM has entered the field... 😱
  4. 2023 Maverick 20,000 mile Service

    Did you get an itemized list of what they did? It's most likely a complete ripoff. Anything marked as a "check", is just BS. There is no scheduled system flush at 20K. If you have an AWD, it's a good idea to change the PTU & RDU fluid, but I guarantee they did not do that. You basically got a...
  5. Bear damaged my Maverick

    While there is a black bear population here in SE Ohio, we rarely encounter them, thankfully. But I did see this guy the other day...the biggest grey fox I've ever seen! 😳 Hard to get scale from pictures, but he had to be 30 lbs...
  6. Do you think Ranchero would have been a better Name than Maverick since Maverick was a car before?

    I'm sure Ranchero was in the discussion, since Ford wanted to go heritage. It certainly would have made sense, but I think Maverick just fits better. 🤠
  7. Maverick on let’s make a deal!

    Was it a rerun? That's a '24 model.... 😱
  8. I believe I found a way to get fresh air from the vents

    Right? 😂 I don't know what parameters Ford set, but I'd guess it's in the 65-70% range when it goes into over-ride...
  9. Ticketed: UNSAFE TOWING DEVICE

    Definitely a douchey move by the officer. Since it was already done, a warning would have been the class move. Yeah, sure, "legally" you are at fault, but I think there is a better story here, and it's a shame the cop couldn't see it. Incidents like these do not help their public relations. 👎
  10. I believe I found a way to get fresh air from the vents

    The REAL annoyance is the damn over-ride that will turn on the AC no matter what if the cabin humidity gets too high. I hate machines that think they know better....🤬
  11. What are your thoughts on these points against owning a hybrid truck?

    Insurance Co's are different too. Oddly enough, the full coverage on our Mach-E cost LESS than the cheaper ICE Honda Pilot it replaced, and no change to our homeowners, even tho we park & charge in the garage. Further emphasizing to do the research on YOUR actual situation. 🙂
  12. What are your thoughts on these points against owning a hybrid truck?

    I personally have no interest in a hybrid. ICE and/or BEV for me, but of course, everyone's use case is different, so for some, a hybrid might make sense. You can find plenty of support for any side, pending your prejudice. Know your needs/wants, do your research. 🤠
  13. Oil change

    Some dealers are offering mobile service, but I'm sure there are limits & restrictions as to what applies. The best action would be to call your dealer to get specific information, as it may vary dealer to dealer.
  14. Would You Buy Your Maverick Again?

    Absolutely! Mine has been bulletproof for going on 3 years, 50K miles, and I don't baby it. It plays the value card better than any vehicle I've had, over 40 years, 20+ vehicles. I usually don't keep cars too long, but I think I'm gonna see how long I can keep this Mav running... 🤠
  15. Different oil change question

    Oil does not break down when unused. If it helps you sleep at night, change it annually, but it's totally unnecessary.
  16. 4K tow with hybrid or EcoBoost??

    You were probably reading about a "traditional" CVT, that uses steel belts & pulleys. The hybrid Mav uses a E-CVT with real gears, so you will be just fine. 🤠
  17. Ecoboost Battery Recall - any updates on this?

    My shiny new battery, thanks Ford! 🤠
  18. OEM cabin air filter thread with links and pics. Premium OEM vs. regular OEM.

    Nice write-up! I opted to put a reusable KN into service, I thought this would be the ideal use for a KN. Now I just wash it out & reuse with each oil change. It's been working great for about 40K miles now, and has paid for itself... 🤠
  19. SUDDENLY NOISY MAVERICK just passed 1k miles, 2.0l Ecoboost AWD 2024 lariat.

    I just turned 50K on my '22, it has NEVER been that loud. I think you have an issue, take it to a dealer with a reputable service dept. and quit wondering....
  20. Ecoboost Battery Recall - any updates on this?

    Yeah, I also have the seatbelt buckle recall, but I'm going to wait on that one, since Ford is giving us 15 years or 250K miles.....🤣
