  1. Backup Camera/Tailgate Down

    On my Lariat there is a touch pad with a "+" in the upper left corner of the screen which changes the camera angle to look down at the rear bumper and hitch, with black dotted line visible to allow trailer connection. Also works well during parallel parking to see exactly where the car behind is.
  2. Disable Back-Up Alarm with tailgate down

    It's a case of being in the red zone and the beeping becomes a steady tone. Maybe I found a way to turn off the camera...I just don't remember.
  3. Disable Back-Up Alarm with tailgate down

    Because when you back up with the tailgate down, the ground is close enough to the camera that the alarm is screaming.
  4. Disable Back-Up Alarm with tailgate down

    Last spring when I was carrying some lattice I was able to temporarily disable the back-up alarm with the tailgate down. Today I had to do the same thing, and I can't seem to remember what I did to turn off the alarm. Anyone else figured it out? I can't find it in the manual.
  5. Maine Orders/Owners

    When I had the oil changed and recall 1 done last Tuesday, a transport truck had a carbonized gray Mav on board...don't know if it was going to be unloaded, or still on its way downeast.
  6. Adaptive Cruise Control - do other drivers know you're using it?

    Must remember this winter to clean the windshield, the lights, AND the sensor frequently. I usually keep a small spray bottle with washer fluid for use between fuel stops!
  7. Someone's Truck is In!

    Went to Wiscasset Ford today to have the underhood recall performed along with an oil change and tire rotation. As we were driving away I noticed a truck carrier in the yard with a Carbonized Gray Maverick on board, possibly waiting for unloading. Someone's getting their Maverick!🥳...
  8. Adaptive Cruise Control - do other drivers know you're using it?

    I've noticed this with the accelerator...the spring keeps the pedal in the normal position...to override and go faster there is a "dead" area while pressing the pedal. The cruise actuator has its own cable, and you have to take up the slack with the pedal.
  9. Adaptive Cruise Control - do other drivers know you're using it?

    We recently had a chance to try the adaptive cruise feature with slowing traffic. Driving at 65 mph we saw brake lights ahead in both lanes indicating some issue ahead. As we got closer to the slowing, almost stopped traffic ahead, the ACC slowed the truck down to about 6 mph as it is supposed...
  10. Hello Maine Maverick Owners

    As I've said before, we were referring to our Maverick as #9 since it was the 9th vehicle we've bought from Wiscasset Ford.
  11. Tailgate tie down anchors / hooks that work with Tailgate Assist strut -- installed pics

    Just installed the anchor on mine...works great. Of course it came in a package of 5. Don't know what to do with the other 4...maybe someone else would like 1 (or more)...
  12. Hello Maine Maverick Owners

    Brunswick Ford on Pleasant Street was sold to Tucker several years ago. We bought our used Cmax plug-in from Tucker at their Bath Road location the day before it became Yankee Ford Brunswick. I found their service department okay. Yankee became Darlings after about a year. I haven't had any...
  13. My usual luck with Michelin tires...2700 miles.😠

    I remember mine as well. They were Michelin ZX radials on my 1971 Fiat 850 Spider convertible.
  14. My usual luck with Michelin tires...2700 miles.😠

    Well, the dealer was able to get a matching tire and it was installed last Saturday. The price of the new Michelin was around $218, a little less than Tire Rack. BUT... While we were waiting for the install my wife reminded me that the dealer insisted on giving us an Easy Care package as a...
  15. My usual luck with Michelin tires...2700 miles.😠

    The SAE sockets wouldn't fit right either... Ended up using a hammer and screwdriver to get the socket on and off of the nuts. The new lug nut set was made better.
  16. My usual luck with Michelin tires...2700 miles.😠

    As I suspected it is a piece of a branch...someone trimming their bushes...maybe fell of the back of a truck. I could have run over it with the front tire causing it to bounce and flip enough to be caught by the inside rear tire. I couldn't figure out how to get the full size spare off the...
  17. My usual luck with Michelin tires...2700 miles.😠

    No no no! The swollen lug nuts were on our Ford Cmax, after maybe 7 years, and 65,000 miles. The tech from Roadside Assistance said it happens on some Fords and Dodges. The nuts are a two piece chrome cap over a steel base. The rust occurs under the chrome causing it to swell. Very difficult to...
  18. My usual luck with Michelin tires...2700 miles.😠

    I picked this up in a tire on the Cmax about 1/8 of a mile from the house...couldn't get the swollen lug nuts off to take the tire for repair. AAA wouldn't come help because we weren't beside the road. They would flatbed the car to the tire dealer. I told them forget it, got the tire off without...
  19. My usual luck with Michelin tires...2700 miles.😠

    I think it's a piece of a branch. Roadside assistance is going to change it with the spare, and I'll wander over to the dealer tomorrow...where its a puncture on the side of the tread I doubt it can be repaired.
  20. My usual luck with Michelin tires...2700 miles.😠

    My usual luck with Michelin tires with only 2700 miles. Thankfully I'm home in the garage.
