  1. Transmission failure under 6k miles

    FWIW, a couple of years ago we took delivery of a new Bronco Sport. Our dealer in Michigan drove it down to NC on a Thursday, stayed locally, and brought it to our driveway on Friday morning. At that point the car had about 700 flawless miles on it. On the very first trip my wife took in the...
  2. How much my hard top trifold tonneau cover leaks after an hour of rain

    I have the WeatherTech trifold. I added two layers of 1” foam self-stick tape around the edges of the truck, where the gasket on the tonneau touches... It eliminates about 90% of the water infiltration.
  3. Apple Car Play - Interesting Behavior.

    Well, Apple Maps doesn't provide the level of real-time traffic data that Waze does...but on my next long trip I'll give it a go.
  4. Apple Car Play - Interesting Behavior.

    No.. I wish I have. The workaround is to avoid text conversations when the navigation system is giving you multiple explicit directions. Waze used to be very simple, and give you very little direction. Now honestly, it won’t shut up. What’s particularly annoying to me is its warning about...
  5. Are Mavericks Lemons?

    You can look things up, but I think your warranty is longer than you think. See the attachment on the MY2022 Fords. I do know that CV joints/axles have ZERO TOLERANCE for any dirt. The boots must be 100% intact (not 99.9999%); the slightest tear or defect in a rubber boot (certainly possible in...
  6. Work-around for CarPlay

    Per @Franklin while I don't subscribe to the "buy Apple cable" at their good as gold pricing (and they are made NO BETTER than and last NO LONGER than any other cables) I have found that sometimes any cable just stops working well. In that case, if it gives you repeated problems, THROW IT OUT...
  7. My one regret. No adaptive cruise

    I'm with you, @Mav_RICK. I made it clear that I wanted ACC when I ordered the vehicle in September 2022 (during that short order period). I got the Lariat, I got the CoPilot 360, but there was something (as the dealer tells me) that did NOT allow them AT THAT TIME to add the ACC. Probably some...
  8. Low speed wheel to curb impact = Nearly 3 months of shop time and likely transmission replacement?

    One thing I can tell you with certainty, is that the FoMoCo service parts supply is abysmal at best. FoMoCo (like many other companies) has decided that inventory of any kind is bad business. Making customers wait or losing customers because of their insipid business practices is...
  9. Thinking about giving up

    I'd agree with many sentiments here, keep the truck and stay off the forums...OR, pay attention to the complaints and realize they probably don't apply to you. There's all manner of people babying these trucks--using them once a month whether they need to or not, then complaining about the...
  10. Ford Shares Your Data with CarFax?

    Recall data is compiled by NHTSA. Any insurance agent can find out on their computer a lot of information about your specific vehicle just by the VIN. If anyone thinks this is something nefarious by Ford only you would be sadly mistaken. If anybody is bothered by this you best disconnect from...
  11. Why are so many waiting so long for a car? Lots of them around here.

    EXACTLY. When I ordered mine in September 2022 for the 2023 model year, the ordering bank was only opened for a couple of days. After that the entire years production was already accounted for and every vehicle was attached to a buyer. There were no orders allowed for inventory. Of course Ford...
  12. Automatic start of ECO mode

    FWIW, in a completely unscientific test of my recent driving, I have determined that the normal drive mode, which is what it starts up as, provides me greater effective MPG than Eco mode. I am a handyman and drive my truck around town. On occasion there’s a little bit on the highway but mostly...
  13. FORDS Military Appreciation is an insult to Disabled Vets

    Thank you for your service. My father is 101 years old and a World War II veteran who gets thanked every day for his service. X-Plan prices will definitely be better than a single $500 discount. If your local Ford dealer won’t honor the X-plan pricing through the DAV, you’ve got the wrong...
  14. I just don't understand this truck

    Yeah I do that. A royal pain. It's unnecessary. If I have my seatbelt ON already (ditto for a passenger) there's no need for a warning on the IP after the belts are attached and the bells have stopped ringing. Just plain dumb.
  15. I just don't understand this truck

    I've only got 7,000 miles on mine, since October. But, nothing seems weird about it, except for the fact that it's always telling me about the seatbelts for some time even after the seatbelts are attached and worn. Guess the warning bell isn't enough they want to throw it in your face on the IP...
  16. Caveat Emptor - Ford fines dealerships

    I have the added situation of having "A" Plan since my wife worked for Ford in various financial positions for 31 years. In Michigan, A Plan was a non-issue. If you didn't honor A-Plan you would be blacklisted by your customers! My dealer there does most of his business from employees, friends...
  17. Caveat Emptor - Ford fines dealerships

    Too bad Ford didn’t make good on their promise to cut off dealers screwing around with above MSRP prices
  18. FB user claims his Maverick was made in Rouge Plant

    Because truth is always important! This is just a wild-a** claim by a fool trying to spread rumors. These people need to be stopped from their nonsense.
  19. Is anyone else surprised by how small the washer fluid reservoir is.

    Everything's color coded under the hood!
  20. Anyone used a bed mat on top of spray on bed liners?

    Yes I have. The factory bed liner on the Lariat looks beautiful, but like any other product like this it would be easily trashed by simply dragging things on top of it, etc. In addition I wanted an easy way to dry things out since some water during heavy wind and rain works its way into the bed...
