The recommendation for the Volt to use premium had to do with the idea that the fuel was more stable over time. In other words, since you likely had fuel that sat in the tank for a long time, it would remain in better condition. My 2012 Volt system also required the tank to be depressurized so...

Funny thing about the credit card slot. My cousin had an Expedition Max and someone placed their credit card onto the console in front of the shifter. When the truck slowed one time, the credit card slipped forward into the gap between the top of the console and the bottom of the center stack...

Anyone tried Brandon Ford in Brandon? Pretty big dealership which sell a lot of trucks. Brandon is close to Tampa.

A little confused here. OP complained this shouldn't happen so quickly and then you mention 160K miles? Given all the muck pictured around the lock on the paint, it doesn't look like the vehicle is kept very clean. I think you might try cleaning the surfaces with 0000 steel wool and coating...

The wifi hotspot was removed by Ford from my 24 Lariat and I got a $25 (or so) credit. Whoopee! I just connect the phone and use the data from it (actually have two phones with different plans -Canada and US).

The most comfortable car seat I have ever experienced were in a Citroen DS.

They left out removing money from customer's wallet. How much are they charging for this? I'm sure they will assign the work to their most competent technician.

The 2025 hybrid is either fwd or 4wd. They are not all 4wd.

I just did a 6000+ km trip from Toronto to Florida and back. The truck says my consumption is 5.5 l/100 kms which is a hair under 43 mpg. I was surprised that it remained so close to that number for the trip. It did go up to 5.6 at one point, but returned to 5.5. The truck was loaded with...

I'm on a road trip from Toronto, Ontario to Cape Coral, Florida and back right now. It will be over 5,000 kms. At the moment, the average fuel consumption is 5.6 km /100 kms. Not any record, but the truck is full and I just push the button and drive it. It is getting a little better fuel...

One reason I sold my XLT was lack of the rear backup sensors. Only the Lariat had them. My old 2012 Volt had them front and rear so having them just in the rear is so cheap of Ford. Better than nothing but just. I was told that it would be difficult to integrate the factory system parts to an...

This never happened to my 23 XLT hybrid but started happening with the 24 Lariat hybrid recently. The XLT never got any of the recalls, but the Lariat has. I am on a trip to Florida and had the recalls done with the first oil change prior to the trip. It just does it randomly, but so far has...

Cool. Thanks for sharing. I'm getting some.

I waited 13 months for an XLT and lived with it for a few months while my Lariat came. I came from a Lariat F150 and while the XLT was nice, the color of the Lariat interior (brown) and the trim colors inside were just nicer to my eyes. I wouldn't have ordered a Lariat with the darker...

I find the steering wiggle very annoying on a long trip. I drove trucks for a living from time to time and ALWAYS have both hands on the wheel. But Interstates inevitably have long stretches of straight roadway and the alarm is annoying. You have to wiggle frequently. Driving the Maverick is...

On Amazon you can buy a snap together glovebox organizer which allows you to keep your owners manual away from the other flotsam that accumulates there (ownership/insurance), wheel lock key etc. I also bought the organizer that slots into the console giving me two more cupholders. I had a...

If you don't like the dial shifter, you are really going to hate a Tesla shift system. I don't call that a shifter - like the rest of the car, it has been re-configured and if you don't like it, well too bad. And don't get me started on what Tesla has done to the turn signal...

Stainless steel comes in many different grades and it is completely normal for a stainless system to show corrosion. It is generally more resistant to rust, but is no sure thing. The stainless system on my 89 Cadillac lasted until I sold it in 2019 and it was a Canadian car. As far as...

In 2019 I sold my two 1990 Rangers and ordered a new F150 Lariat. As much as I loved the F150, no one else would drive it because it was too big. When the Maverick appeared I ordered one but had to wait 13 months for an XLT Hybrid (wanted a Lariat but in Canada we couldn't order Lariat Hybrids...

I have a hybrid and since I don't do a lot of miles and it is mostly city driving, I decided to do it at 6 months and only 3000Kms. I noticed a couple of times that the oil filler cap had a little brown foam suggesting moisture build-up. The one long trip (Toronto to Rochester return) did not...
