  1. 2025 MPG for AWD

    Maverick prices have really gone up, but compare to what you can get for the same price. I'm not saying the Maverick is a great deal, but all cars are way overpriced for a variety of reasons. I realize, especially now, my 2023 with A-plan was a great deal, though at the time comparing to a...
  2. message on the 23 maverick screen

    I get it all the time, especially after I use my linked phone through the touch screen.
  3. My Stupid Theory - Maverick price hikes make way for new cheap truck

    100% correct. They Maverick was made the wheelbase it is due to EPA fuel economy requirements. That is also why they made the hybrid standard - they didn't think many would want that power train. No way a smaller I.C.E. truck will ever be made again - the ruling class in D.C. forbids it.
  4. Buyer's remorse on FWD Hybrids?

    No - I still drive an old RWD Grand Marquis in the winter, and over the last 20 years I count maybe three times when NOT having RWD would have been helpful. You just have to be smart about it. AWD cost more to buy, cost more to maintain over the long term, plus tire replacements are more...
  5. 2025 Order

    When I went to register my XLT hybrid in Ohio, I noticed they weren't assessing the $100 fee. So I registered for the max length of time - 5 years.
  6. Dealer claim they put the standard spray in bed???

    PIn stripe is only thing that may be worth it on that list. I'm not saying this is you, but in general, people become so obsessed with finding a dealer with the lowest price, they forget that finding an honest dealer is worth much more. My 23 XLT hybrid was delivered in October 2023 by the...
  7. Deep Sleep Mode - CURED!! Battery Replacement

    I just got my first Deep sleep message ever on my truck and I've had it for 8 months. The only change is this past week I've been running my Android phone through the truck using Bluetooth, and I've been leaving Bluetooth active on my phone. Perhaps the truck in the garage is picking that up...
  8. Thinking ahead -- Are the batteries in the hybrid consumer replaceable?

    I used to be paranoid regarding hybrid batteries. In addition to the Maverick hybrid, I had the opportunity last January to pick up a 2009 Prius with the original batteries, and they work fine. Sure they may not be as efficient as they were 15 years ago, but our tanks of gas this summer have...
  9. Hybrid Recalls - Should I Proceed?

    I've gotten done only because my dealer called me and offered to send out their Mobile service truck to perform them in the parking lot at my office. I didn't consider any of them important enough to drive to the dealer to have them done.
  10. 10 mile drop in MPG since purchase

    The computer in the Maverick is always about 3 mpg optimistic for me vs. reality. You have to do the manual calculation when you fill up. Hybrid hates speeding, especially over 70 mph.
  11. 2024 or 2025?

    Depends on the price increase. Might have a bigger screen, but seeing how I barely use the screen I have now, not a selling point for me. I've turned into my Dad - 90% of the time when I'm driving, it is in silence.
  12. Ford recalls 456K vehicles due to loss of drive power (undetected low battery issue); includes 2022-2023 Maverick Ecoboost & Hybrid

    I'm getting old, and the idea of taking off 17 fasteners to get access to the filter and drain plug just doesn't sound fun anymore. I'm hoping hybrid means only one oil change a year....
  13. Ford recalls 456K vehicles due to loss of drive power (undetected low battery issue); includes 2022-2023 Maverick Ecoboost & Hybrid

    Both my recalls were handled by their mobile service van, who came to my office and did the work. They also did my first oil change using their mobile service vehicle. FordPass points covered it, but I think the oil change was about $10-15 more vs. taking it to the dealership.
  14. Do I really need the XLT Lux package? 🧐

    XLT with luxury package benefit for the hybrid - with heated seats and steering wheel, I rarely have to turn on the heat in the truck until the temperature drops below 30 degrees Fahrenheit. So the gas engine will run less - at least that is what I seem to experience...
  15. Hot diggety dawg, my RC tonneau cover arrived!

    Exact some one I bought - I like the hard fold as you can put heavy objects on the cover when loading or unloading the tailgate, and you don't have to worry about damaging a soft cover. I got the factory spray in liner, and there are round rubber grommets that you pull out and you can run the...
  16. Any affordable Tonneau fold hard cover with good quality( no leakage) recommendation?

    Let me do so when I get home. I'll try to edit this post once I get the measurement. One other nice thing about a hard trifold - when you are unloading the bed, you can put items on it as a shelf and not worry about it not being able to hold the weight.
  17. Any affordable Tonneau fold hard cover with good quality( no leakage) recommendation?

    Rough Country trifold - it doesn't fold against the rear window, but it is easy to remove if you need the additional room. Mine is watertight - the only leakage I get into the bad because of the large gaps between the side of the tailgate and the fender sides, which the cover has no impact on...
  18. Tailgate Lettering Choices - opinions?

    So did I for my 2023 Area 51. They are high quality, and they are similar to the chrome bezel around the rear Ford emblem. They look great in the sun. Plus, chrome/polished stainless may come and go as far as the latest style, but it has managed to stay popular on vehicles since when, the...
  19. Upgrades to my area 51

    I also have a Rough Country trifold tonneau cover - love it. Nice result is you can put heavier items on it vs. a soft cover when loading and unloading through the tailgate.
  20. Heated Steering Wheel ❤️

    With heated seat and steering wheel, I don't have to turn on the heat until it is below 30 degree Fahrenheit.
