Why did Ford switch to Goodyear Wrangler Territory(225/55r19); just to save money?. Are they any good? A new set of 4 Is more than $1000

Rears went on OK, but didn't like the gap on the rear left. Had trouble with the fronts until I watched the OEM install Video; which used clips and screws in place of the upper 2 plastic fasteners (which were not included of course). So I ordered some (~$10); then the install went super...

My Ford dealer (L H Miller) had a flash deal. Full syn oil change for $39.95, reg price ~$120. Just completed the 1000 mile breakin period (per manual) for my 2025 Eco; so why not go "old school" and change the oil after breakin. Made the appointment for 2:15, at 1:45, left dealer at 4:05. Wow...

When using 87 octane in the 2.0L EcoBoost the ECU retards timing to reduce engine knock. This results, among other things, in more unburned fuel being exhausted from the engine; thus causing the GPF to work harder. Not a good thing. I was planning to use 91 octane for other reasons; but since I...

I just traded in my 2024 Lariat hybrid for a 2025 AWD Lariat hybrid with 4K tow, even in AZ I find the my new truck has a GPF. Did I make a terrible mistake, I was wanting the trailer assists with the newer model and the increased towing capacity. When I Google the experiences of European Ford...

Some online "experts" have suggested that it is likely that the BMS stops charging the 12v battery in the hybrid when it reaches 80%. Does anyone know if this is the case? Also I have heard the Ford is going to do a computer update in the 1st quarter of this year to address hybrid 12v battery...

As stated in a prior post, Ford replaced with the same type (warranty and not AGM); it appears to be marginally better. Had not driven the Mav for 2 days. Before replacement the voltage at startup would typically be 11.7. It was 12.2v this noon with the replacement battery. Assuming the...

Good news it failed and I got a new one, bad news, looks to be the same type of battery and the warranty did not reset. Hope FoMoCo "fixed " the new lead-acid battery in my 24 Lariat hybrid,; who knows. It never failed to start in my 16 months of ownership, but voltage was always very low...

The screen goes blank, but the Radio works; or the screen freezes, and nothing works. I am out of town, have an appointment at L H Miller Ford when I return. The constant trips to the dealer for warranty work is getting hard to take. I love the Mav, but I have never had so many issues with a new...

CEL came on, just like last time, on US87 between Payson and Mesa. This time after a steep upgrade with temp above 100. Got a next day appointment at Larry Miller Ford yesterday. Just spoke with service advisor: " a module needed a software update, will be ready tomorrow". Do I have a vehicle...

About 52 miles each way. Elevation above 6000. 2/3 hwy (55-65 limit), 1/3 city (35-45 limit). Tried to keep speed at 5 over, as this is a good place to get a ticket. Computer gave 50 MPG, so likely about 48 MPG. Had not taken this drive since covid. Boy things have really changed. Looks to me...

On last Sat was driving from Payson to Mesa on Hwy 87 and the check engine Light came on. Was on a long down hill section of 87 doing about 75 mph. Called L H Miller Ford on Mon morning, Got an 8:30 appointment Tues. The problem was A sensor on the heat exchanger for the hybrid battery. Part...

Took my 24 Mav Lariat to Kar tunes (Tempe, AZ). Replaced the B & O front door speakers with Hertz DCX-1653 two way 6.5" speakers. Also had Sound Shield added to both doors. It was not cheap. Had I done the work myself (which , at my age, was not really possible); I could have saved about $250...

Just me and the 2 dogs in the Mav. Computer gave 42.5 MPG; hand calc was 41.2 MPG with 91 octane. Elev in Mesa is about 1350 & Heber is about 6500. Temp was 45 when I left, 31 in Forrest Lakes (elev ~7500) with Sleet & rain. Heber got about 2 inches of snow which was mostly melted when I left...

See prior post re: First roadtrip to AZ Mtns in cold weather. I was starting to think the Mav was a big mistake when the check engine light came on during the road trip. NOT SO. L H Miller service was super; the issue was the poor installation of the light in my ARE shell. There was a loose...

Went to the hospital to visit a patient and saw a Rivian being charged. Has anyone noticed that it kinda looks like a very large Maverick (except for the front doors)?

When I left Mesa it was about 47 deg, when I got to Forrest Lakes it was about 33, foggy and raining. The heater worked great. The Mav seemed to be running just fine; but then the check engine lite came on and stayed on. So I changed my plans and returned ASAP. Nothing seemed amiss, I got about...

He (thru Amazon) sent me a Mav hat, a Mav shirt, and a Mav water bottle. The bottle holds 1 pint, keeps ice cold over nite; and fits in the door just right. Thanks son !!

OK, like many others I have had voltage issues with the lead-acid battery. I just noticed something on startup that seems strange; or maybe it is just me. When I start the Mav of course it is in electric mode ie the gas engine is not running. I have a voltage monitor in the 12v outlet; first...

See p317-319 in Manual; if you use a smart trickle charger as I have done, follow the these procedures (and reset the BMS) and your low battery issues may be resolved. It appears mine have been. But just because AI allows something to be done does not mean it should be done. I believe "KISS"...
