No. My 2023 XLT Lux had the door keypad as part of the package. My 24 Lariat did not. I bought the Lariat because I wanted the rear parking sensors that were only available on the Lariat.

No. My 2023 XLT had the factory keypad on the door. My 24 Lariat lost the keypad. I haave managed to survive without it.

If you change wheel size, to keep the speedometer correct you just change the tire to match the rolling diameter. There are online calculators which will do this. No need for re-programming. We use smaller wheels with larger tires to get more sidewall height which help protect against...

Actually, if you do a search on this site, you would find threads on stuck hoods AFTER installing the hood lift kits. But I know you like to be contrary, and your mind is made up, so we won't confuse you with facts.

AI is very scary. It creates so much pure garbage. Every time I hear that it may be used to help with a medical diagnosis, I throw up my hands. People will die.

Just look up Amazon. It is a round disk with a slot for the pinch weld area and two tiny magnets which help to hold it in place. Not expensive - works pretty well with a floor jack. Have to wiggle it into place because due to plastic cladding and one side's trim not being exactly in the right...

It is a small difference and a trip to the dealer might make it worse so if it isn't pulling, vibrating, leaking, or causing smoke to pour out somewhere, you might be better to leave it alone. If it really bothers you, sell it. I did that with a brand new Tesla after five months as it did so...

The tailgate hole cover would not be a problem if you never carry small things that WILL fall into it when you are loading and unloading. Let's take a leaky bag of gravel, or small yard cleanup bits. Once the objects fall into the hole, you can't get them out. So for a few bucks, save...

I've had two Maverick hybrids. The current one (24 Lariat hybrid) for more than two years (Canadian owner). I've never had any issues with the 12V battery. It sits for days at a time. Some have had continuing problems with it as evidenced by their postings, but I think "majority" is an...

Good to know - thanks for sharing. I was getting a service done at my local Ford dealer yesterday and they quoted me over $80 for the cabin air filter plus labor (declined). Wonder what changing this little module would have cost at the dealer.

I've had two Dee-Zees. The current one is over two years old and is working perfectly. Whether you need it is entirely up to you. If you like things to accidentally bang down, (as the tailgate will if you don't hang on to it) you'll be fine. When other people "help" they don't always...

Spark plugs. I'm surprised it wasn't the cabin air filter. When the filter goes bad, all kinds of crazy things happen. I guess this proves how hard it is to attract good mechanics these days. Mine surges as described, but I assumed it was the way the wind was blowing that day. I hope the...

Maybe your truck really liked the song.

Rod bearings squeak? If they lose lubrication, the engine locking up won't be squeaking. If a main seizes, the rods bend and usually hole the block. Was it dumping oil and antifreeze? I hope you have been following regular oil changes. I had a job commute like that and had to have service...

Snow sucks but if there is still a lot of it on the hood, that is on you I'm afraid. FWIW, I live in a snow zone, so I've been there every year for decades.

Fix the design of the manual door lock on the driver's door! Looks good, but is so easy to accidentally lock which means you have to go to another door to get back in. Not impossible, but just fix the damn thing.

When you drive a truck you learn to use your side mirrors. The inside rearview is nice, but I rarely use it to see behind the truck. I've driven large trucks and am used to the side mirrors. The Maverick is sort of a transitional vehicle - somewhere between a truck and a car. Some...

Both of my Mavericks (Canadian deliveries, a 23 and a 24) came with the adapter in the glovebox.

My 2008 Escape Hybrid had a liquid cooled HV battery. I think the current Maverick is the same. Keeping the battery safe means properly cooling and balancing across the cells. This probably requires some monitoring and programming. Just putting a charger on the HV battery is not going to...

How they fare against a full size sport utility or 1 ton pickup would concern me. I'm not against small cars that are properly engineered, but I would take a pass.
