  1. Are our headlights so bright that people are flashing us? I own a 2023 XL hybrid

    I have what looks to be a similar prescription. You need to find a better eyeglass place. When I used to get them at Costco I was only charged about $450, almost half of which was the frame. I now get mine from Zenni online, and only get charged $130 with +3.00 astigmatism and plano lenses...
  2. Are our headlights so bright that people are flashing us? I own a 2023 XL hybrid

    There is probably something wrong with your front-facing camera or its sensitivity settings. Is it covered up by a canoe or something? Did someone alter the auto-highbeam sensitivity setting?
  3. Converting Hybrid to a plug in hybrid...

    You can't write the missing code using Forscan, all you can do is alter parameter tables. Realistically the only option would be to take the entire electrical system including even the radio (cuz it does more than just radio) from the donor Escape.
  4. Converting Hybrid to a plug in hybrid...

    An extra gallon of gas is less than 7lbs. Assuming that you're going to need the heating/cooling components, extra wiring, etc, I would assume that you will need maybe 200lbs of extra weight just to extend the existing pack with a second battery. That's going to drop your mileage by maybe 2mpg...
  5. DIY Smoked Tail Lights using Purple Zep

    I'd guess that you don't understand what a reflector in a light assembly actually does. If you remove that part, you are removing probably 75% of the light output. Get a light meter and take a reading of your blacked-out lights vs. a normal set of lights.
  6. Have you added a 120 Volt Socket to Your Mav Cubby

    What do you need such heavy wire for? Your house is using a log longer runs on 14ga. For 400W you can probably get away with 18ga. P.S. you get this already wired in if you bought the lux package. Its good value for what it adds.
  7. Converting Hybrid to a plug in hybrid...

    While it would certainly be doable, you can probably assume that the kit will cost more than your whole vehicle. Just the big battery will set you back at least 1/2 of that. The market is so small after you factor out all of the people who want it for almost free, that nobody is going to make...
  8. Latest 2024 Maverick Production Key Commodity Constraints + Total Retail Unscheduled Orders (1/29/24)

    Seats in the Lariat are freezing in cold weather and burning hot in hot weather. The seat material used in the XL and XLT does not have these issues. With the Lariat there are a lot of days that you need to warm up the vehicle for 10 minutes just to get the interior more bearable, wasting a...
  9. Pro Install... front license plate holder fixed

    That's a dealer-installed PDI item, since some states do not require them.
  10. Six Months with Maverick

    Those super-hot and cold vegan-leather seats are one of the bigger reasons why I wanted the XLT instead of the Lariat. For some weird reason people seem to have associated leather seats with higher end, and they suck in real weather. The cloth seats don't have these issues and you don't have...
  11. What to do with your used Maverick motor oil.

    You did, but you're one of the lucky ones who haven't died from the after-effects yet. How many of the kids that you grew up with have now died from weird things like liver and bladder cancers? How many had kids with learning disorders or genetic illnesses?
  12. Blackstone Oil Analysis on first Hybrid Oil Change - 1,200mi

    Where is all that copper coming from? Dry bearings? Also not sure why the silicon is so high...
  13. Where to buy retainer clips for dash center cover and tweeter covers?

    Go to the parts dept at your dealer. Mechanics break clips all the time, so they will have them already in stock.
  14. Have values dropped for new Maverick hybrids?

    Around here the EB is going for about $5k over MSRP, and the hybrid about $8k over (if you can find one at all).
  15. Pepper Got Peppered! ***UPDATE***

    You're definitely driving waay too close to the worn-out and leaking dumptruck in front of you. Just because nobody else is doing it makes a really poor reason not to follow the 3 second rule. At 60mph that's about 280ft. Let some other dumbass get peppered or his windshield broken.
  16. First Oil Change Mileage and Oil Type (Blend or Synthetic)?

    Full synthetic meeting the Ford spec is the only oil you're supposed to use in a hybrid. The dyno blend is only ok in the EB, with shortened change intervals. Find another dealer who actually reads the spec.
  17. Turn headlights off

    What on earth do you want the headlights off for? They're going to outlast the vehicle by a lot of years, and even in the brightest sunlight you actually need to be seen against the background. Turning them off was maybe a thing in the 70's, but not today.
  18. What to Expect…

    Get the Subaru. The Ford scheduling incompetence means that you're going to wait at least a year.
  19. How long be how long waiting on a 2024 maverick XL, hybrid or Ecoboost

    Don't hold your breath, as its going to be an extreme wait. I ordered an XLT Hybrid with the Lux and CP360 packages and no other options, on Feb 28th. I rolled it over on July 17th when the 2024 order banks opened. I'm still unscheduled and waiting. Given that the January/February production...
