  1. Just got my Area 51, Hybrid XL

    I have the exact combination (did order hitch) I am still waiting on. Unless you were lucky enough to get a quick order built, you should of been grandfathered into the 3 year %0.0 from Ford. Let us know about any problems. I am concerned about the oil/transmission seal intrusion that some...
  2. Consumer Reports Maverick XLT AWD Review

    That surprises me. I don't have the 4X but do have AWD 4K tow.
  3. SERVICE REQUIRED.

    Could be the fuel system was experiencing a tank expansion problem. Be sure not to overfill, stop at the first click. Cars with fuel caps often get a code when not tightened properly.
  4. Ford Extended Service Plan question

    Bear in mind that you do have 5/60 powertrain in addition to the 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty. It is possible that you will be paying extra for 60 months before you will even need to use the extended plan. You can cancel and have the refund credited back to your loan, or to you if paid in...
  5. Ford Extended Service Plan question

    I know of one case where a plan was purchased in Mass, and the vendor refused to pay a claim because the claimant lived in Florida and knew Florida wouldn't recognize. Went to court here in Florida, and the vendor won. If you buy a FoMoCo plan, obviously that would be recognized as Ford...
  6. Ford Extended Service Plan question

    I don't normally endorse extended warranty ESP's, but on any Chrysler (whatever they call it now) product it probably is a very safe bet for sure. Ask Scotty Kilmer (YouTube) about Chrysler reliability. Anytime you rely on MB, coupled with Fiat, reliability goes out the window.
  7. Ford Extended Service Plan question

    Not uncommon for dealers to sell service and/or warranty plans at 200% above cost. Here in Florida, law requires dealers to sell these plans at a fixed price to everyone (although you can negotiate the selling price to offset). Check out YouTube YAA as they sell these policies at $500 above...
  8. Where to buy 17" Steel Wheel Center caps?

    I just posted the same as the search on this topic came up empty. Got cha on watch so if anyone has a source, I will let you know.
  9. Where to buy chrome center caps for XL steelies?

    Anyone know where to find chrome centers for the XL steelies. See a lot on Amazon that may fit, but not willing to chance unless sure of fit.
  10. Consumer Reports Maverick XLT AWD Review

    Sounds about right. For highway driving, the 2.0 comes within a couple of mpg of the Hybrid. I got 31 mpg on a recent 150 mile trip in normal mode. Haven't tried Eco mode yet. When I went through the Ozark mountains, I now wish I would of used Sport mode instead of normal to relieve some...
  11. Consumer Reports Maverick XLT AWD Review

    Note that you should avoid lugging the 2.0 to minimize carbon accumulation which leads to potential dieseling and other problems. This is one case where spirited driving, within reason, trumps sauntering along.
  12. FL-400S oil filter. Better for the 2.0l Ecoboost?

    May be a marketing scheme for more $. Amazon 910 is 3.97 while 400 is 8.99. understand basically same.
  13. OIL CHANGE PRICE

    Just did mine (2.0) at 1500 miles mainly because of a hint of gas in the oil. Used Amazon 5w-30 full synthetic and a Ford Fl910s filter. Got 6 qts oil and filter for $26 from Amazon. Filters are $3.97 but understand the FL910s is hard to get. I will be stocking up along with toilet paper...
  14. Installed Buschur's catch can and how it went.

    The Hybrid 2.5 is port injection. Once my Hybrid Arrives, I will have both Hybrid and Eco. Probably keep the Hybrid just because of the carbon problem on the 2.0, although the 2.0 is my preferred choice. Even on the Hybrid I plan to install a catch can to reduce body throttle/intake buildup...
  15. Dealer markup/non-markup list

    Hey BeardedK, am also in Jax and have yet to see another Maverick in the wild here. Bought mine out of state to avoid the crazy Florida dealer fees. Even AutoNation charges about $1200 for dealer/electronic registration fees but reasonable on price. Good Service Department too. If we...
  16. $750 Reward Confusion

    What hurts is that when I returned 1270 miles with the Maverick, the offer was in my mailbox. Hate to blow a $750 opportunity so I just might place an order for a new Pinto.
  17. October Hybrid Orders United

    Ordered two, 2.0Eco and Hybrid 10/07/2021. Got the 2.0 03/11/2022 but still awaiting Hybrid (Area51, hitch, all weather mats) to be scheduled.
  18. $750 Reward Confusion

    If you could order a Maverick now, I would just reorder (Tim LM Ford) in order to use the offer. How ironic Ford dangles a carrot to entice a purchase, but somehow is not applicable to a recent purchase, pending order, or even to another order that one can't do until Aug16th. Nothing like being...
  19. $750 Reward Confusion

    I talked to six different Ford customer reps with no definite answer, but this is the best clarification so far. It may be I purchase two Mavericks that the $750 will not be applicable. One before and one after expiration. My unscheduled 10/07/2021 Hybrid probably will not make the 05/31...
