    Oh, I forgot - add an indicator to tell which gear the tranny is in, just like the big Ford trucks have.
  2. desired 2025 Maverick build specs / options / wishlist, if Ford is reading this forum

    Make cruise control switchable to/from adaptive with a button push rather than a menu item.
  3. What state has the worst drivers?

    My all time favorite "worst driver" happened in Boston some 53 years ago but I remember it well. Had the wife and 3 kiddies in the wayback of my '68 Ford Country Sedan, heading towards Salem on Rt 3 N in Boston and had to dynamite the brakes in the fast lane because of a stopped car. No...
  4. Good Mileage?

    Here's what used to be a 9th grade algebra problem. :) Richard's Maverick went 328.9 miles of routine driving and averaged 24.7 mpg. He then went on a 136.5 mile highway trip. At the end of the trip the average mpg had risen to 26.9 mpg. What was his highway mpg? I calculated 34.3 - all...
  5. Drivers door locks on its own

    I think I've had the phantom lock phenomenon happen a few times too.
  6. Bed liner/mat

    I bought the Mabett bed mat. Fits good and keeps stuff from slipping.
  7. Windows

    I turn the vent system on without the A/C and open the rear window.
  8. FordPass App Not Working

    My ios is 17.5.1 (iPhone 12) and Ford Pass is 5.0.1. Both were updated recently. ios shortly after Ford Pass and Ford Pass is working OK.
  9. Crystal clear widow cleaning hack or a big mistake?

    A little Dawn dish liquid in water, a teflon safe scrubber or sponge to apply and rub, and a squeegee and microfiber towel to clean and dry. Dawn is the WD40 of cleaning products, from cleaning dishes to killing spotted lantern flies and everything in between. Amazon.com: GUGUGI,Super Flexible...
  10. Pedal Commander Throttle Response Controller

    A lot of folks in the Subaru groups use it, especially owners of the XT models. They say it makes throttle response faster and smoother.
  11. What MPG are owners getting with 2.0L EcoBoost AWD 4K Tow?

    Only 500 miles but I'm averaging 24.4 driving almost exclusively on town and country roads with speed limits under 50. The first 272 miles was measured at 23.49 and the guess-o-meter said 23.5, not bad.
  12. People are just Ignorant

    I'm 83, the old lady is 81, and we park out and walk to minimize the chances of that happening. But while on the subject of a'holes, when we hit the diner for the senior specials it's always amusing to see people a lot younger than us park in a handicapped space, put up the placard, and then...
  13. Granger/Flood Extended Warranty - 'Special Purchase'

    I bought the ESP premium warranty from Flood Ford at the end of the 3/36 on my '19 F150. I never had to use it but it was valid; my local dealer had it on his computer. I got a partial refund from them when I traded it before it expired. I've also heard of folks having similar results with...
  14. So Many New Rules - Satire

    I carry a flashlight in the glove compartment and the numbers of Ford and USAA roadside assistance on my phone. :)
  15. Selecting a Tonneau Cover for a 2024 Maverick

    I did what it looks like the OP is going to do - get a Ford dealer installed cover. I got the soft rollup and really like it. It's vinyl, and, unlike a lot of the more expensive third party models, overlaps the edges of the top of the bed, which makes it less susceptible to leaking. Mine has...
  16. Why our trucks are so big

    When I bought my 'new 79 Chevy C10 single cab, 8' bed, it was cheaper than a nicely equipped family sedan or station wagon of that time. It was also a lot more utilitarian than my '19 F150 was.
  17. Truck weight including add-ons

    My door stickers say GVWR 5180, payload 1359 so the curb weight is 3821 pounds. Is the 3751 the GVWR - payload, the true weight of your truck from the factory with fluids topped off, or from a spec sheet?
  18. How was your dealer experience!

    I picked up mine in the middle of April. It was built in March and has March Pennsy inspection stickers on it. Dealers around here normally order their cars with similar options pkgs and this one looked to be different, Lariat with 4K tow and azure grey as the only options. It may have been a...
  19. 2024 Eco Boost Fuel Economy

    I traded a Subaru Outback XT with similar specs that got 19-21 for my daily driving routines. My first tank with the Mav was 23.5 measured and the guess-o-meter for the second tank is now reading 26.4. Needless to say I'm happy with what I'm seeing.
  20. Spied: Maverick Refresh Lobo ST Street Truck Reveals New Vertical Grille Design & 13" Infotainment Screen

    I just got rid of a Subaru Outback XT with a big digital display screen with digital buttons for the climate control and infotainment system. I hated them.
