  1. 1st Battery Saver Mode since AGM Install

    AND I spend half the time in the Costco gas line compared to the 2008 Ranger that got replaced by the Maverick. MPG was the #1 reason I bought the Hybrid. No hybrid no Maverick for me.✌
  2. 1st Battery Saver Mode since AGM Install

    I put my key fob in a faraday bag. Actually 2 bags. 1 key fob bag inside a smart phone bag. Sounds crazy but my fob was still getting the signal out when in only the key fob bag. I had an extra smart phone bag so I stuck the small bag with my fob into the bigger bag and that stop the signal and...
  3. Bait and Switch ...You be the judge

    I would bet a lot of buyers use some cash, meaning Benjamin's, to complete the deal. I can't be the only here that sold my old truck to a private party for cash, then use that money to partly pay for the Maverick. So sometimes getting all the paperwork done before you arrive is not going to...
  4. Be Honest - have you ever driven with passengers in the rear seats?

    2 times in 11.5 months. Went to a wedding last summer that was 3.5 hours one way. My Wife in the back, my mom in the front. My wife said she was very comfy the entire trip. 95% of the time the back seat is locked in the up position, and I am the only passenger. ✌
  5. Risk of poisoning with 12V Battery not vented properly

    So, based on a lot of the comments there would have to be a major malfunction in the charging system or battery AND the vent tube would have to be disconnected AND the driver would have to keep driving with the rotten egg smell AND feeling sick AND with the windows rolled up? Impossible for me...
  6. Risk of poisoning with 12V Battery not vented properly

    Mavster Mechanic and I are on the same page, there is something fishy. This sounds like foul play to me. But maybe I have watched too many episodes of "Accident, Suicide, or Murder?" on Peacock. Great series BTW. Check to see what kind of Life Insurance the victim has. Is wife in line to get a...
  7. K Trucks (Kei Cars) - Would you buy?

    No. I can see they would be handy on a farm or ranch being used like an ATV or SXS. With only 650cc engines they are not practical for street. But if you want to make people happy and laugh when they see you go for it. About as good of an idea as a 50-year mortgage from the same genius. ✌
  8. What is this strap?

    That is an old school whip they would use on kids that misbehaved at school. Now they just prescribe prescription medication. Consequences be damned. I have no idea how it ended up in your Maverick.✌
  9. Unpaid Maverick Sales Advocate !

    Monster trucks are not as much fun when diesel prices are $4.09. That is 80 cents more per gallon than regular at my local Costco! ✌
  10. I found my next battery !

    Batteries with a 36 month warranty compared to 48 or 60 month warranty are identical batteries. Only the warranty and price and decal are different. I never pay for an extra 2 year warranty. Spend the money you save on a Pulsetech PowerPulse Battery Maintenance System at Amazon for $40. My 2...
  11. Ford $30K Electric Truck. A winner?

    According to Car and Driver mag the 2026 Nissan Leaf base model will be priced near 26K. 52 kwh battery. So 30K for Fords new "Ranchero" should be doable. We shall see. ✌
  12. Ford $30K Electric Truck. A winner?

    Since it has only a 51 KWH battery leads me to believe that it will be an Extended Range EV. So it will have an onboard generator to charge the battery on the go for long distances. Like the Chevy Volt had. If that is the case, I will be very interested. If not, I am only slightly more than zero...
  13. The Maverick is a full size truck*, change my mind

    I think I know why this silly thread started at 4:20. 🥴✌
  14. Come on guys. We can do better . We have Mavericks😁

    All these phony reality TV shows started this yelling and insulting for entertainment. Social media just escalated it.
  15. Curt 31006 Hitch Spare Tire Carrier Install

    I have just one question and one suggestion. Have you taken it out on a superspeedway to test the rear aero downforce? It appears you may get some rear lift at high speeds. I suggest you sell some advertising back there, no one will miss it. ✌🙂
  16. Hybrid battery drain issue / ACCM update (as of 11/8/25) -- Latest info from a tech's perspective

    I sort of have the same thought. I spend less time hooking up the charger than the 3 times more time in the Costco gas line in my Ranger that the maverick replaced. ✌
  17. Hybrid battery drain issue / ACCM update (as of 11/8/25) -- Latest info from a tech's perspective

    Things have just become too damn complicated. Power everything. Why do we need, or who even requested a power parking brake. I never thought "it would be nice to not have to pull this stupid lever to engage the parking brake". Tire pressure monitoring sensors? Really? Isn't that the owners job...
  18. Hybrid battery drain issue / ACCM update (as of 11/8/25) -- Latest info from a tech's perspective

    The small regular 12-volt battery is the one. Pop your hood and look for a small red plastic cover with a + sign on it. It is located in the center driver side area. Pop the cover off. Hook your + battery charger clamp to that lug. In the rear corner driver side area under the hood, you will see...
  19. Lensless headlights at SEMA

    Prices on electronics make no sense these days. So, I can buy a 65-inch smart tv for $500 but headlights and smart phones are $1000 and up? And then people scream when a dozen eggs hit $5 while they are holding their $5 Starbucks and showing off their $1000 tattoo. Progress. ✌
  20. 2025 Lariat Maverick 1 week old problems

    You probably drove right past the Medford, Oregon Costco, just off i5.. I filled up there today, $3.37. Probably could have made it to Elk Grove, California and back on a tank. But 🖕Gavin Newsom thanks you.:giggle: ✌
