Supposedly, according to Ford, they are modifying the charging circuit and should release a recall notice before the end of March. If I had the answer, I would expect that Ford would want to hire and pay me. They have had engineers there at Ford and the Maverick has had this serious problem...

I don't have one, but I always thought of the Lexus grill looked like an hourglass. I think that is appropriate, imagining watching the sand drop from the top to the bottom hoping that when the time runs out they'll hire a designer to redesign the ugly front end. I wonder if the Lexus hourglass...

You likely need to adjust your top so that it seals completely at the front and the tailgate. Many I have seen have the cover too far forward toward the cab. It needs to be slid back a bit from what you would think it should so that it also seals tight against the tailgate. We get no water...

The Ford tri-fold badged as a Ford and sold by ford is manufactured by Advantage. You can only buy it at a Ford dealership, the manufacturer does not sell it retail elsewhere. It has nothing to do with BakFlip and Rough Country. It is the Cadillac of tonneau covers for the Maverick.

Thank goodness the state of Utah does not have front license plates effective January 1, 2025. If an existing vehicle has one, they can remove it. They are now only issuing a rear plate. The front end of the Maverick looks so much better without an ugly license plate staring back.

Why is it considered "hate" and somehow wrong to express one's opinion that Ford really messed up with the redesigned front facia on the 2025 Maverick? This is not much different than when Ford decided to come out with the awful design of the 1997 F-150 with the hideous sloping front hood. That...

Properly installed the Ford badged hard folding tonneau cover does not leak. Been in heavy 🌧️ rain and automatic carwashes and the bed stays bone dry. I think most people down get the seal even all the way around.

Not sure what you mean about your top having latches that bend the bed? There is nothing on the Ford cover that could in anyway bend the bed, so no such thing with the Ford Tonneau cover. Really like that you can reach the cables to release each segment from either side of the vehicle. Also...

It potects the rear window when folded up. That is what side mirrors are for.

We also have the quality one direct from Ford and if you adjust the cover back so it seals the tailgate and the front there is absolutely no water intrusion into the bed. I have seen several non ford ones and they adjust them too far to the front of the bed. Try shifting it back so it is seals...

Is your tonneau the geneuine Ford hard folding. If you have mounted it properly it seals completely on all sides. If it is that cover, you need to shift it to the rear until it seals against the tailgate. I keep hearing others say theiur leaks there. If you adjust it there it seals at the front...

We are getting the deep sleep problem on a daily basis so we don't know what its like to have lights when you open a door. It better be fixed in the promissed recall.

If this is tied to the terribly undersized and inadequately charged battery under the back seat, you put a 20amp load on it and you will get about an hour out of the battery before its dead, since the Maverick charging system only charges that battery to a 50% SOC.

We gas up about every 3 weeks and that is when it has dropped down towards half a tank left. My wife's late grandfather's advice to us almost 39 years ago when we were newlyweds was to never let a gas tank get below half a tank. We never have since.

You do realize just hopw small the hybrid's battery is that is constantly discharged and regeneratively recharged? If you were sitting in the driveway the gas engine would be running constantly to keep the hybrid's HV battery charged, just so you could have AC power to your home. A more...

Fairly common before I retired when I was driving the 5.7 miles to my office.

Once a battery is sulfated, it is damaged. A charger may claim to do something to correct that damage, but in reality it cannot. The only real solution is to properly recharge the battery from the very beginning. Therein is the problem with the poorly designed charging circuit that is present in...

Are you stating that the MPG that are reported by the computer are not accurate? The vehicle gets 37MPG on the highway running on the ICE, and 42MPG running hybrid locally (combined ICE + Electric). If, on short drives the car runs on electric ONLY (similar to a Tesla) for a very large portion...

Therein lies the problem. It's the charging circuit that is killing the 12v battery in a hybrid because of the way the "engineers" designed the way it recharges that battery. It never fully recharges the battery. Do a little research and you will find that if you do not rapidly fully recharge a...

The problem isn't in Ecoworst Mavericks.
