  1. AC/Heat fan randomly changes speed

    One thing I have noticed is that the controls will not use outside air for temperature management. On a cooler day (example outside air temp is 65 degrees) and the vehicle has sat in the sun during working hours, I get in and start for home and notice the air conditioning is required to reduce...
  2. AC/Heat fan randomly changes speed

    I set mine to "Auto" and let it do whatever. Keeps me comfy so eh.
  3. Anyone else getting grief over the Maverick?

    The only "grief" I ever got so far was from a couple guys in a jacked up Chevy at a red light. I had the windows down and the driver of the Chevy made a comment about "what a cute little vehicle I have". I just looked over and made a comment about not needing to compensate for other issues...
  4. Bed wash-out - BEWARE!

    My issue is that the camera and latch locks are not waterproof, but water resistant. When I washed my truck bed out and closed the tailgate, I seriously watched what looked like gallons of muddy water pour out. That means all connectors, housings, ect in the tailgate were soaking for several...
  5. New Ranger Turbo & Downpipes for Maverick EcoBoost

    Looks great ! but am I the only person who looks into the engine bay and thinks Coyote with a tubbed rear? My dad and I fit a standard 5.0 into a 1974 Mazda RX4 once so... without a yardstick in hand it looks like the Coyote would fit. At least I know why my wife doesn't want me to have a...
  6. My one regret. No adaptive cruise

    I rented a commuter van for a company trip a few months ago and had to disable the ACC. Using that, you are guaranteed to end up behind the slowest vehicle on your route... at a safe distance, but at a much slower speed than you wanted.
  7. Unexpected surprise with the Maverick Body Control Module Recall (24S27B)

    Very encouraging. My A.S.S. likes to shut the engine down for 0.5 seconds every time I stop at a stop sign (most of the traffic control I experience daily).
  8. Harbor Freight 5000 lb hitch receiver DIY install

    I had no real plans to actually tow anything but a small utility trailer, but the Maverick we found had the 4K tow and FX4 packages... so... I'm prepared to tow anything I might need to!
  9. Save the Dash Cubby!

    Until you own one and constantly wonder "What on earth can I use that space for?", you won't understand. It's a Maverick thing only Maverick owners can understand.
  10. Wrench icon on dash

    Hopefully it's over and done. We had a 2016 Buick Encore That would randomly pop up a red dash warning that the Engine power was in reduced mode, the stabilitrack was inoperable, and the ABS was disabled. Then it would go away for a couple weeks. Dealer found no codes stored and we were told we...
  11. What Driving Mode for 2.0EB

    Mud/Rut mode - I went to a local fair last year after several days of rain. As we entered the parking area, traffic was being "sorted" due to the mud. Any 2 wheel drive vehicle was sent around the mud and any 4WD was sent through the bog that had formed in a low lying area of the lot. Many...
  12. Unwanted Driver Warning

    My '22 XLT doesn't even offer that as a setting. And I've never had it pop up. My wife's '23 Bronco however.....
  13. Maverick or Ranchero?

    I had a '73 too. I liked mine until I broke it. Something to do with "Dukes of Hazard" or something. Learned my lesson on that one.
  14. Random question for Fx4 owners: driving in Slippery Mode as a daily?

    I distinctly remember my dad telling me to imagine a grape between my foot and the gas pedal. "Squeeze the grape, don't squish it" were his instructions and I find no need for "ECO" or "Sport" modes with my Ecoboost/4K/FX4 Maverick. As far as using slippery mode as default, NOPE. Use it...
  15. I shot my own FOOT! NEGLIGENCE!!!

    @MankDeems : You quote " There is NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO KNOCK THE STUDS OUT THE BACK EVEN IF YOU BROKE JUST STUD 1 YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE HUB AND BEARING OUT MOST LIKELY DESTROYING JUST TO RELOAD STUDS! " Dunno dude. Looks like there's room behind the marked stud below for the stud to be pressed...
  16. Maverick Widebody design complete.

    Kinda looks like the lip will require the fender flares due to the width of it overall. ...but being fiberglass, anything can be modified to fit.
  17. Remember your first mini truck from back in the day?

    My last "Truck".... This isn't the one I had, but mine was about identical.
  18. Bed wash-out - BEWARE!

    This was my biggest fear - loss of camera due to the water/mud and the same for the tailgate lock. Sure enough........
  19. Bed wash-out - BEWARE!

    ...and CRAP!
  20. Bed wash-out - BEWARE!

    I was thinking a piece of heavy mylar but the same effect. Plugging those vent holes doesn't seem like a preferred choice. Deflecting dirt and moisture would be better in my mind.
