Absolutely true. Regarding Maverick, ONLY the Hybrid is flat towable, not the 2.0EB. I don't really understand why? Many other Ford & Lincoln vehicles (gas & diesel powered) can be flat towed. My previous F-150 & my still owned 2017 Lincoln MKX AWD are flat towable.

Randy, I have the Blueox baseplate installed on my 2025 Lariet AWD Hybrid. I'll take a Pic of the front end later today & send to you. I thought the 15 minute wait after towing was Nonsense at first, until one time I needed to unhook from motorhome & move the Maverick quickly. With wife's help...

Darryl is spot on. Plus we consumers have come to rely on the features automation brings, all of which requires a lot electronics that must Play together. I worked with sophisticated computer controlled naval systems for decades. All subsystems must "talk" to each other, AND components were MIL...

You got me laughing & smiling now Top. Agree 110% on everything you said. The KISS principal disappeared about the time Elvis last left the bldg. I'm picturing a young Mechanic in the motor pool telling the Staff Sergeant he can't fix the jeep cuz he'd get his hands dirty... Now Im really...

"Top" I think the sleep mode also includes a time factor in addition to the 12V battery charge. Or we're all just guessing how the puzzle works? I also use the battery tender when im not going to be driving the Mav for awhile.

Sure can, I've been flat towing decades. The charge line from motorhome 7-pin connector to 6-pin Mav connector is sufficient. I use RVI Brake3 supplemental brake. Plus the charge line keeps 12v system charged, ensuring the Mav remains in tow mode.

And you make a great point abt the key ignition vs push button. Years past I flat towed other Fords, some required the key to remain in vehicle, but not the 25MY Mav. Our 'smart Technology' Fords keep us guessing.

True, adding logs is easy. But many decades of working with computers/programming military Radar systems skewed my thinking differently. Kinda forgot the old slide rule. Being retired 10+ years makes the past even further in the rear view mirrow.

Too funny! Many years ago in my early engineering studies, circa 1964, we used a slide rule, difficult to master. Fast forward to roughly 5 years ago when my grandson was in engineering school, I pulled my old slide rule out, asking my Grandson if he knew what it was? To my surprise he...

We all have different driving styles, routes, & hypermile desires. Even the best, most consciousness, most experienced hypermilers won't set MPH records if the majority of miles driven are freeway miles with nearly all ICE operation. Rural, lightly traveled roads at lower speeds can result in...

I have 2025 Lariet Hybrid & have flat towed several thousand miles behind my Motorhome. Never a need to leave key fob inside Maverick, always have it inside motorhome. Then outside I lock the Mav doors with fob. Flat towing with fob inside truck might trigger the sound you hear????

25MY hybrid here, AWD. Upon arrival at gas station I press on the fuel fill door to release, nothing. Then remember the fuel tank unlock is a pusbutton near headlight switch. Return to driver's side, open door, now to locate the button to press. It's been so long, haven't used enough to commit...

Thanks for that. I mostly subscribe to the "if it ain't broke dont try to fix it" theory. Except I did 1st oil/filter change @ 1.1k miles and PTU + RDU fluid changes at 2k miles, precautionary maintenance. At age 79 I'm slower but enjoy maintaining my vehicles. I have OTA updates Enabled.

Im like Chops, retired, do my own oil/filter changes. I actually have forever, been driving 63 years. Yes, there's 15 torx screws for hybrid cover, then the entire process of draining oil, replacing filter, clean up, etc; But, I am my own quality control, I can let oil drain drop- by-drop for as...

My FEH was a 2008 also, never heard the 'clicking' noises like my 25MY hybrid. 2008 was amazing, never a problem, one recall, had 9 years, 95k miles, original tires & brakes, all in good shape. Hope Mav performs as well?

Darryl we all value your expertise, thank you. I have 25MY Lariet Hybrid, purchased April 25. I am not having 12v battery or sleep problems. Q. How can I tell if ACCM update has been preformed in my truck? Or any other module firmware updates? For reference, my truck has only been back to dealer...

I do. Purchased based new Mav at local dealer, personal check, drove home same day. Depends on dealer, their policy, & location. Admittedly a Certified Check is better 99% of the time.

I also have a 25MY Lariet Hybrid. The lane assist, adaptive cruise control can be enabled/disabled in the settings on the 13" screen. Over time try using these features & you might come to like them. Country roads, back roads, old school driving wins. FYI, I flat tow my Mav behind motorhome &...

I don't always wait 15 minutes, usually 5 - 10 minutes. One time I had to disconnect my 25 hybrid quickly after stopping. I had a zillion error messages on center console, Could not start Mav until turning back off & waiting a few minutes. There's a reason to wait after flat towing, I'm not...

I have the Blueox Baseplate installed on my 2025 Mav Hybrid, works great. I've flat towed many miles this year. My installer in Louisville, KY.
