You misspelled our go to gas station. That probably confused A.I. The gas stations are spelled Maverik (there is no "c").

Hopefully they did a battery reset after fully charging the AGM. This will help but the solution was to set the maximum state of charge to 100% as Ford set it at the factory to only 85% because they were shipping the Maverick with FLA type batteries that are temperamental when potentially...

I thought this was going to be a thread discussing AMSOIL.

You're bumping the manual door lock on the driver's door when you open the door. That is why it is locking the driver's door and not the other three. I guarantee this is 100% the cause of what you were stating.

Who cares about calculating that figure. Since the engine in a hybrid is constantly starting and stopping, and we live in an area with very hot summers with 90-100+ days each year above 100F (we've already had a 97F day before the actual end of Winter on March 21) I consider our use being...

I like the video you posted. The bottom line is change the oil in a Maverick every 5,000 miles and simply ignore the dumb "sensor/timer" that Ford calls an "oil life monitor". That is, unless you don't care about the longevity of the engine.

If they used the same engineers to devise a system that supposedly tells an owner the remaining "life" of the oil as the "engineers" that designed the 12v battery charging (and rapid discharging), I'll stick to a regular oil change based upon mileage.

According to the 2023 hybrid Maverick's owner's manual it states that an oil change every 5,000 miles is needed if the vehicle is subjected to severe use which is defined further in the manual as extended periods of operation in extreme heat, or dry dusty areas. Also it includes if the vehicle...

You must have had something wrong with your 2500HD. Our 2015 double-cab Work Truck Edition has never had that poor of MPG. Not towing we get 20-22MPG on the highway. Towing a 10,000lb trailer at 70MPH we average 13-15MPG. We live in a rural area so definitely not too much truck. As far as...

Drive this out west on our freeways and you'll get eaten alive doing 45mph when the speed limit is 80mph. Get an actual truck to pull a trailer. We have a Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x4 for that duty. A Maverick is a small hybrid car that plays a "truck" on TV.

Defi Definitely was able to do electric only on down hills despite the headwinds. We drive in ECO Mode and I run the EV Coach. My wife prefers the Economy view when she drives. I believe if there hadn't been a headwind on the way home we would have matched the MPG we saw on the trip to the...

No, just the opposite. Had a headwind straight onto us on the return leg. The Maverick is not a very aerodynamic vehicle. By the way, at the last regular 15,000 mile service the dealership changed the maximum S.O.C. of the battery charging circuit to 100%, which is where Ford should have set it...

The U.S. highways were at 65MPH. I-17 freeway was 75MPH.

We took our first long trip (more than 300 miles each way) in our 2023 Maverick Lariat Hybrid this week. The distance from our home in Santa Clara, Utah to Mesa, Arizona and back was 872 miles. We used a total of 22.916 gallons of gasoline. That gave us an overall average of 38.05 MPG for the...

Not too unique to see numbers like this. It all depends where and how you drive. This was mainly downhill towards our home from a church BBQ dinner in the foothills of a mountain down into the valley.

Did this happen in an area that they had "Deer Crossing" signs posted? I wish they wouldn't put those signs up because then it just encourages the deer herds to all use that specific area to get to the other side of the road.

You could try one like the one I put on the back of our 2023 Maverick Lariat Hybrid.

Our broke the very first time I tried to unclip it. I forgot when I had our 2023 Maverick hybrid in yesterday at the dealer for its 15,000 service to have them warranty replace it. Until I take it in there next time I have put a strip of red duct tape over it to keep it from shorting to...

The cellular based telemetry (think of a small cell phone) is not the cause of the rediculous drawdown of the state of charge that occurs on a daily basis. You could leave a cell phone plugged in 24/7 literally forever on a 50ah barrery. Never had a vehicle go up and down in state of charge like...

Totally sad and rediculous that people have to plug the Maverick in because Ford can't seem to get some engineers to figure out what they did wrong and figure what needs to be done to right that wrong. There is no reason in the world that one should have to plug their car in to keep the battery...
