  1. Unhappy Ford customers

    Don’t apply it would be too unfair to others. CEO/CFOs need to be a highly social, hopefully moral sociopath, based on common tendencies of successful CEO/CFO from science into business. If you don’t have an incredible lust for power, money and control of others, do not apply. Since those...
  2. Sudden and dramatic drop in fuel economy

    Not joking about my posts, those tactics work, may not be practical to very many Maverick drivers. The common core is heat being radiated from below the truck into the battery pack BELOW the truck. The use of the Truck in heat isn’t a large as having to cool the battery once in operation. That...
  3. Sudden and dramatic drop in fuel economy

    Heat. Hybrid batteries need to be forced cooled over Summer temperatures. Just one of the unexpected Maverick hybrid issues. Not a wide spread issue for other hybrids. It will go back to normal once high temperatures are below 90. Park in shade. Avoid hot streets, black asphalt, driving...
  4. Maverick in hot temperature

    Got so hot yesterday that my Prius refused to charge the traction battery after windows up all day in direct sun. That battery was throwing warnings for beening too low this morning. That mpg was also very low since engine ran the entire trip to bring the battery out of dangerously low charge.
  5. Maverick in hot temperature

    Yes, been bad, have seen a share of under 30mpg for shorter trips. Yesterday used tricks and got 51mpg at lower 80s in the AM. after a mini heat stroke playing with my new solar panels and portable power station, I drove home at 7pm 104 degrees with max cold entire trip. Got 38, don’t recall...
  6. I thought the thing would beep before I ran into something....close calls...no big deal

    totalled…. Care to sale your rims? I feel the pain. Within 2 weeks of buying a Texas Edition Silverado, before the Maverick, I backed into a handicap pole caused the chrome bummer to crease. Got the additional Co360 package and rare window with my Maverick.
  7. Home Electricity Outage - Maverick XL w/400 Watt Inverter kept us in Charged Batteries for 5+ days

    Agreed good solution, have already bought 400w solar truck bed cover solution sized for Maverick. DC Input is only 500w cap for AC180 Bluetti. It can super fast charge at 1400w via A/C to 80% in 45mins. So perfect for highway speed trips when the engine is always on and the hybrid battery is...
  8. Home Electricity Outage - Maverick XL w/400 Watt Inverter kept us in Charged Batteries for 5+ days

    Hybrid would have been perfect for that role. Can stay in ready mode, 3 gallons per day for air conditioning charging stuff etc. the DC-DC power is massive for the smaller hybrid setup, tested to run inverter at 1500w without issue, could go nearly 3000w based on specs. The built-in 400w...
  9. Storing hybrid for 2-3 months

    Use sports mode to get the hybrid battery topped off before storing. That mode keeps ICE engine running and keeps hybrid battery near top for neck snapping starting powha.
  10. Anyone drive their hybrid in low?

    I use it with slippery mode for roads with a bunch of curves and speed changes. This mode buffers the abrupt speed changes caused by L mode. Keeps from having to using brakes a lot.
  11. Just saw a Government owned Maverick at a National Park

    TxDOT owns at least one…. Saw a don’t speed ad with a young adults zipping by a squad car in a Maverick.
  12. Home Electricity Outage - Maverick XL w/400 Watt Inverter kept us in Charged Batteries for 5+ days

    Respect to lineman…. Especially Texas Lineman. At University the locals would adopt home sick prone dorm students for meals, free babysitting and more. The younger couple with kids that adopted me had a linesman father. He would be gone a lot during tornado and hurricane outbreaks so I would...
  13. Hybrid Maverick constantly clicking, clunking, switches sounds

    It does, that is a ongoing issue with first year and some second year hybrid Maverick.
  14. My Maverick escaped a tornado!

    What a video, F2 hit my ranch the same hit and took out the county Tax office 20 miles before and continued til it reached F3 about 15 miles past. Saw it on Radar and got behind it about 5 mins on way to cut across neighborhood. Blew doors of RV, pulled down many trees and a post oak just...
  15. WTH...

    So, he or she couldn’t wait to post that Ford was taking so long on his /her Maverick, like it was breaking news. We would have waited til the baby was asleep for the fresh news that Ford is a disappointment in manufacturing speed and communication. Takes a few months to learn to juggle...
  16. WTH...

    Lol, first thought why would a rich former President want a Maverick so bad. Haven’t seen so much caps only posts here. My thumb is trained to speed scroll through caps heavy posts.
  17. Throwback Thursday...The Maverick was first formally announced exactly 2 years ago today.

    Was shopping for a Hyundai Santa Cruz wanting a smaller city friendly truck. Had problems parking the big Silverado ( sold during covid ) youtube started to give video’s about the coming new Maverick a few weeks before ordering opens up. Was interested but already thought my way into the SC...
  18. Having surgery on Thursday

    At least you have a brain. Got my first MRI with a doctor who also was one of his first MRIs to give. To our horror, the skull was empty. He was so green, that he figured I would be the rarest of the rare, born without a brain, yet college degreed. He played around with the computer read a...
  19. What's Your Personal Best Fuel Economy?

    Mpg is tanking for me, but I am using max cool and idling more at 100+ heat. Keeping the summertime kid and dogs cool, and grandma too. Totally worth the extra costs. Truck is the messiest its ever been. Lol.
  20. Maverick DIY Camper Project

    Other questions on OP woodie camper shell, looks tall. Can you standup near the tailgate? From the sleeping position looking out the windows sky only or horizon views? Those look too high to see horizon, granted the back tailgate view looking awesome. A sheet of plexiglass and your done.
