  1. Ticketed: UNSAFE TOWING DEVICE

    Safe always overrides Legal. Clearing an obstruction from the road is far more important than having a legal way to do it. Rear end accident risk increases the longer the road is blocked up and traffic keeps slowing to a near stop.
  2. Ticketed: UNSAFE TOWING DEVICE

    And many times they no-show and have a continuance (or not) just to waste your time. No money gained. No points. But they still got you messed up taking a day off to go to court. My ex-brother in law was a local cop. There was a lot of things that happened that were similar in his department...
  3. Ticketed: UNSAFE TOWING DEVICE

    Merriam-Webster is not an authority on words. They are a repository.
  4. Post your Maverick next to ridiculously large trucks - photos thread

    It's nice to fit into your parking spot. Also nice to not have the Knee Breaker 5000 adding extra length for no reason.
  5. Ticketed: UNSAFE TOWING DEVICE

    In English, the emphasis on the syllable changes based on whether it's a noun or verb. Like you conduct an orchestra but his conduct is why he was banned from the bar. You record a movie but that record will never be broken....
  6. Weirdly unexpected email from the dealer yesterday.

    This is the most likely thing that happened. An audit found money they shouldn't have and tracked it to invoices. They can't take it legally without the invoice showing the actual amounts you owe. You signed paperwork somewhere with a different price and now they have money they have no...
  7. Big Brother Tracking Device

    I'm guessing it was supposed to be removed when it was sold. Probably geo tagged so they'd know if the vehicle left their property before it was sold. Once it was sold it was probably disabled so other than losing the tracker they don't know where the vehicle is any longer. Just unplug it and...
  8. For you hybrid guys - new TFL correction video on hybrid fuel economy

    Mine had a one month break-in in February. So cold. And I warmed it up all the time.
  9. Hybrid fuel mpg

    At 80mph, yeah that's about what to expect. Especially if you just have the cruise on.
  10. Front USB port Flaky

    It's the cable. Buy a good cable and don't remove it. Leave it for the car.
  11. Very expensive to insure the Maverick

    Progressive is also really pushing the electronic tattle tale. Sounds great until you have a hard braking event or they determine you speed (even if the roads you're on are that high), and then jack up your coverage as high risk.
  12. Very expensive to insure the Maverick

    I started my coverage for my 2022 at about $340 for three months on my Lariat Hybrid. Today, my policy is $569 for six months. But I don't get the bare minimum through State Farm. $100k injury ,$300k per accident Full comp $500 collision deductible $10k injury $50/day $1500/total rental...
  13. 2025 Hybrid. Love the mpg!

    I might not have a 2025, but my 2022 Hybrid Maverick is still doing just fine. This includes pulling a trailer for about 80 miles half with a garden tractor and also some freeway about 80 miles round trip at 70mph. It is doable if you just keep an eye when you're near the 10%. Let it fall back...
  14. How many batteries in the Maverick?

    The manual says 200,000mi or 10 years for coolant change. Doesn't specify if there's anything different for the battery coolant. After the first change it's 5 years or 100,000mi. The hybrid does have one particular scheduled maintenance you should watch is the 30k for the automatic transmission...
  15. Crazy Hybrid Experiment Question... will Hybrid run in electric-only if you run out of gas?

    It's about 2.699 around me at best in Ohio. I've gone past 0 a few times. If you're gassing up immediately I'm not worried. Plus the mte starts dropping faster the last 50 miles.
  16. Hybrid Fuel Savings vs Battery Replacement Cost (With Inflation Adjustment)

    Catastrophic failure is just that. And can happen to any component at any time. That's not typical conditions. And usually a catastrophic failure happens from neglect with age, or early on. Worrying about battery replace just FEELS out of place given that you're not also worried about the 2.5L...
  17. Hybrid Fuel Savings vs Battery Replacement Cost (With Inflation Adjustment)

    In ten years, battery tech for cars is going to be so much more advanced than today that I don't think the cost is going to be that unreal. Plus, Maverick has a very tiny battery compared to a fully electric vehicle. From what I've seen online, with labor the most you're looking at is $2000...
  18. Has anyone ever regretted getting a lariat?

    Due to my being dirty/greasy getting into my truck a lot, I'll many times just have a folded cheap bath towel to put down on the seat. Worked really well when the truck sat in 95F summer sun all day and I had to get in it. Highly recommend. Works when it's incredibly cold, too. I think it's...
  19. Purchasing Maverick that was reacquired by Ford - updated

    I bought a Cadillac XT5 that was bought back by lemon law. Got a great deal on it, and kept the remaining warranty. It was a problem with the gear shifter (joystick shifter) where the release button had two separate contacts below the button that had to have equal contact. Well, most people...
  20. Is there a way to coax the Maverick into EV mode?

    Couple tips: Once you go above the first hash mark on the power meter, hybrid will engage. You can only run electric staying under 10% power. The battery can only run a couple miles at most from a 'full' charge until it needs to charge again. It's not a giant battery. It basically is there for...
