  1. First oil change & Ford points

    My salesman made a point to address the points, how they could be used, and ensured both myself & wife had the Ford App installed on our phones at the time of sale. Thereafter it's the customer's decision when & how to use the points. Dealer should inform customer, customer decides how to use...
  2. Maverick is a perfect geezer ride for me.

    I recon I'm a geezer, born 1946, making this my 80th year. I love my 25MY Lariet Hybrid. I use and like the technology, but on some roads where the tire tracks are especially rough, I turn off centering feature so I can drive with wheels on smoother pavement & NOT fight the centering feature...
  3. Thank you, great explanations and now I understand 🙏can it really go nearly 25 miles on electric only

    My 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid had this feature also, so continued at least one year past 2007. Not sure when it was discontinued.
  4. Flat-towing a 2025 or 2026 Hybrid behind an RV

    Cliff I've flat towed my 2025 Lariet Hybrid a few thousand miles. I seldom wait the entire 15 minutes, but I do wait as long as I can before restarting after exiting tow mode. One time I needed to restart very quickly after exiting tow mode. Didn't work! If I recall after pressing start button...
  5. Tips to prolong turbo engine life

    Exactly, spot on. My 25MY Maverick is a Hybrid, but I've owned several Fords with turbocharged engines. Allowing the engine to idle for several (up to 5 minutes) after hard, hot weather engine load is crucial to turbo life. I always installed a "turbo timer", so I could set timer so engine would...
  6. 2025 Hybrid - Potential Battery Drain?

    Hank you HayBales, will check this out.
  7. Software Update 11 -ECG2-25.2.8.5

    I received this same update about same timeframeon my 2025 hybrid. I noticed no difference afterward except Fordpass App was disabled and I had to reinitialize it. All my Fordpass settings returned. I
  8. Flat Towing - Anti-theft Triggered

    I've flat towed my 25MY Hybrid Lariet several thousand. It makes no difference whether I plug MH into Maverick first before neutral tow, or vice versa. I never get the alarm or unusual behavior. And I also always lock the Mav while flat towing & keep key fob in my pocket. Never experienced...
  9. Display options

    Correct, not available on 2025 hybrid lariet either. 2024 obviously last year.
  10. 2025 Hybrid - Potential Battery Drain?

    So true Darryl, we seldom hear from the ones who have little to no problems, but that's natural & not unusual behavior. Listen to the nightly news - riots, political unrest, killings & arrests, war for 29 minutes. Then just one good human nature story the last minute of the telecast. I for one...
  11. 2025 Hybrid - Potential Battery Drain?

    Keep fingers crossed. Our Mavericks are like a mystery movie - always guessing, who's the villain? Is there a happy ending, or even an ending. Ha!
  12. 2025 Hybrid - Potential Battery Drain?

    I use Car Scanner via Android Auto. Works fine but I'm not able to get more than four (4) lines of data on the screen. Others shiw eight (8) lines of data. I assume it's a font setting somewhere OR they are using Apple Car Play, meaning 4 lines of data is an Android Auto limitation?? I'd sure...
  13. 2025 Hybrid - Potential Battery Drain?

    My Mav is nine months old so 15 more months of grace period Lol 😆!
  14. 2025 Hybrid - Potential Battery Drain?

    My 25MY hybrid Lariet has 10,600 miles since new in April 2025. 7,800 of those miles are long distance highway miles. I occasionally use the NOCO Genesis 5 to completely charge the Mav then lock it & ignore it for 10 or so hours, whether it seems to need it or not. I have no specific strategy...
  15. 2025 Hybrid - Potential Battery Drain?

    That's interesting. Each time I check 12V via Car Scanner App the charging voltage is 14.8V, with fan speed below #5 setting (I never set above 4). The SOC varies as I would expect, but Voltage displayed always seems to be 14.8? I'll observe more often to see.
  16. 2025 Hybrid - Potential Battery Drain?

    I've noticed my 12v SOC via Car Scanner Pro App & OBD dongle, frequently shows around 90% Soc while highway driving. Regarding troubleshooting intermittent problems, I spent my last 23 working years for DOD on one computer controlled chipboard weapon system. Hard faults can be a challenge but...
  17. 2025 Hybrid - Potential Battery Drain?

    Great advice Darryl as always. The previous poster Doug (schd Great advice Darryl as always. The previous poster Doug (schneidrd) who lives in Rio Grande Valley is justifiably frustrated, A/c not working down here is Bad! My wife & I are here 6 months & it indeed gets hot. The puzzle to me is...
  18. Change your PTU (Power Transfer Unit) / RDU (Rear Drive Unit) OIL!

    Yes indeed. If not for all the info I've received in this forum I probably wouldn't have changed those fluids. Cheap insurance for sure.
  19. Technology Rant

    Agree on the terrible concept of integrating the turbo & hybrid in same manual. That's cheesy, cheap. Separate manuals would be better. However, not the worse manual ever. I've seen worse, especially those accompanying Chinese products, written by someone who's first language is certainly not...
